Yep. And I can tell you the reasons why halo 5 won't fail. 343 has confirmed that halo 5's multiplayer will be running 100% on dedicated servers. The problem with the mcc was that it's multiplayer only sometimes ran on dedicated servers. Most of the time, it used the traditional "host selection" system from which the server would select the user with the best connection to be the host. However, this system works very few times on xbox one, which caused slow connection speeds, massive lag, and other major problems that contributed to the mcc's horrible launch condition. However, when dedicated servers are used, matchmaking works almost flawlessly. Take Titanfall, for example. It runs completely using either ea's dedicated servers or Microsoft's dedicated servers. Both during launch day and even today, when fewer and fewer people play the game, connection times are very fast and good connection is maintained during matches all thanks to dedicated servers. And because halo 5 will not be using host selection at all, launch issues will be very minimal and the experience will be enjoyable and smooth. Also, in 343's mcc launch apology, they admitted that one major reason why the problems occurred is because there was no beta for the game, therefore they could not predict the launch or have made server modifications to ensure the best experience possible. However, halo 5 had a beta already, and from that they were able to make modifications to the game and prevent the events of mcc's launch from unfolding once again. They even released a list of modifications to halo 5 that they'd made after the beta (Here's a link to the modifications page: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/how-fans-helped-shape-the-multiplayer-of-halo-5-guardians). One of these changes is "improved server performance and faster connection speeds."
