Does Horde mode scale in difficulty depending on how many players are playing?

Damn, my friend from China has nearly finished the campaign while I'm still waiting for my peasant version to be unlocked...

I feel your pain.

Mine unlocked last night. I finished work at 2am, then started at 1pm today. I finish at 10pm and I'm back in at 10am tomorrow.

Might as well have not bought the UE because I can't even play it :(

I got a couple of hours in last night, I'm paying for it today though.

So are customization options stored on the cloud or something? Can't pick my characters or load outs because it's failing to retrieve the setting.

Hey, at least you guys are playing. Mine just launches and I get a black screen.

Edit: Just came up. That was a long load to the title screen.

Anyone have any idea if a friend and I will be able to play this tonight off one digital Ultimate Edition? I'm out of town visiting him and brought my Xbox. Me on his Xbox and him on mine, both connected to the internet.

I'm pretty sure that will work, but only after the game is officially released on the 10th.

I'm planning on doing this exact method tomorrow. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but who knows.

Kinda don't feel so bad about downloading so late with all the connection issues. My main group is sitting in the menus hoping to connect to a game lmao.

"WHOO! DIG IN BABY', GOIN' INTO OVERTIME"

Since Xbox One controller works natively on PC, I tried the X360 controller but it isn't getting recognized. Any of you facing this issue? Will connect DS4 later to try it out as well. Guys, also check out whether it's unlocked on X1 too.

Also, if I'm understanding this right, we can boot up both versions (just not simultaneously) and our stats/rank progression will be the same right? I mean, for MP you'd obviously HAVE to play on X1 due to the playerbase.

If you are on PC, check out our PC performance guide built by our PC team here at The Coalition. They really killed it on the PC version. Super proud of how awesome these guys.

PezRadar - Can you explain why Private Matches in Horde both require a connection to a server and kick you out if you pause/idle for too long? We keep getting responses that it uses dedicated servers, but why? It's a single-player mode.

"Oh, you can invite friends/switch party leaders/etc" is not a good reason, especially when we want to play offline without those features. I don't think I've ever seen a single-player mode that kicks you out of your game (and presumably loses your bounties/etc) for pausing to take a break.

Horde is online through dedicated servers. If a host player leaves, this allows for players to continue and for others to jump in if needed.

The break time may be adjusted in the future. We are gathering feedback on that. We can't people on forever as they would weigh down on servers with forever idles but I believe we were already talking internally on kicking that up in the future.

Does the Season Pass not show up if you check "Manage Game" under "My games and apps" on Xbone? Just want to make sure it actually accepted my code lol

Edit: If you check in the Store it says "Owned" so that is a way to confirm!

Hey, do you have any word about customization not working correctly right now? My friend and I (and others) just get an error.
