The soundtrack is sounding pretty nice so far.

Eastern. I think they're staggering it, so everybody gets it at 10AM their time.
Germany breh
Which would fit with my countdown, think you are right

Mine ended nearly an hour ago but servers still aren't up.

It may be staggered by 10am local time.
Or, it could be an issue with the countdown, which is basically counting to your 10am local time.

They were wrong in the OP at the launch of the preview.
Not sure if they have been updated yet though.

they have not. Got new shots of them?

I am sorry bud, I am unable to get them.
Sure some kind soul will when the servers go back up
I'd be ok with Recon if sprint wasn't X. Was that not the case from what people played?

Definitely seems like it's just counting down to local times. Pretty much guarantee they weren't smart enough to do a staggered launch. Or maybe they just wanna see what the servers can take with everyone coming at the same time. Either way, doesn't sound fun come the launch time.
I like sprint on x.
That just seems like an awkward place to put it.

Feedback on menu music I can hear so far, first track sound boring, second and third tracks are amazing though, one of them has a mass effect vibe.

Assuming most of you own the MCC, at what install %age can I start playing?
At least it just says there's a server error rather than come back on the 29th. We'll be there soon.
MCC or the beta?

I can't remember exactly, but I think Halo 4 is ready to play like 25-40% and then H2 is last. Need 100% for multiplayer. I assume you just want the menu though for the Beta which I imagine would be earlier than Halo 4, or at least the same time.

i hope soundtrack is good, he scored the only memorable Halo 4 track.

Sorry, MCC.
I was waiting to purchase this with gift card credit I got for Xmas and was hoping for a deal pre beta.
After playing in the preview, I couldn't wait any longer, so had to buy it now.
Install is on 14% so hopefully not too far away from being able to try something!
As mentioned above, Halo 4 becomes playable around 30% or so and then it'll show you what's installing

I think he did some tracks for MGS: Peace Walker too. The guy is really talented.
Overall, I loved the Halo 4 soundtrack. Different than the previous games, but still amazing.

Halo 4 is first, then it does 1, 2, and then 3. It gives you percentage done for each campaign if you try to select one that isn't done yet, I know 2 is playable once it hits 50%.

Is it bad to leave the Xbox One on it's side? Thought of moving it next to my monitor for the Beta tomorrow but only have enough space to leave it standing up vertically.

Yes, Microsoft states you should not use it vertically: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/system/position-console
No. Because we will have another year before we're playing H5. And H1-4 is way old by now, yet we still wanted to play it this Nov.

Wonder if it's okay if you're running it off digital. I have MCC digitally so there won't be a disc running through it.
Yea I would assume if you're all digital, being set vertical wouldn't be an issue since you don't have to worry about the disc drive scratching discs. Though, it would need a good amount of space for ventilation with the way the system is designed to be cooled out the top.

So do you download from the MCC menu or what?
Yeah. Go into MCC, over to extras and choose Halo 5 beta. It'll take you to the Halo Channel and play a little Locke/Arbiter cutscene then take you to the store page where you can download the beta.

9AM tomorrow.

Mine showed me the cutscene... then just launches the xbox preview build? Normal?

Mine says 7 AM PST by that countdown. I think it's buggy, or else they're rolling it out 10 AM everywhere.

Do your math again. 10 AM Mountain time, so 9 AM Pacific time.
