Well, let's not be unfair here. It doesn't need to come before Friday, it could come on Friday, and they technically have until the end of Sunday.

May goes on until Sunday, a weekend release is unlikely but not impossible if they can get it out. Perhaps Frankie will shoot me down on that, we'll see

OS updates can go up over the weekend so I don't see why DLC/game update can't

Well I have personally not heard of a patch/update over the weekend. Not even OS update. I could very well be wrong though.

How long was the date up on the marketplace?

long enough for all the mainstream media to report on. Almost a day I think?

343i just looks more and more incompetent. Absolutely shameful how MS' top franchise has been handled after bungie's departure.

Looking at the OS preview forum, I can see in the May update alone two weekends where they released preview updates, it a common thing on that side.

I don't understand this thinking I guess.

They said it was a marketing mistake to put the date up there, it wasn't like it was available for pre-order or download or something.

They never announced a release date other than saying it should be ready with the next title update next month (Which would be May).

And technically, it's still May.. so why are the pitchforks already out?

Its nice to have prep time to sharpen them first.

Quick question. I Have MCC digitally, am I able to nab ODST (I've had it since Day 1), or do I need Gold? I really don't feel like renewing lol.

Did you play (or try to play) it online shortly after launch at all? I think that was the requirement to receive the free month of live and odst free.

 

[Crimson Kopite]

The placeholder date was generated by a weird marketplace error, which we clarified and denied. At this time there's no delay to announce, and the pieces are in testing, as stated. Don't make me jinx it.

A "weird marketplace error"? Not one of your best, Frank.

Like I said, I'm not mad about a delay. Even if there would be one, I would be completely fine with it. If more times makes the game better, then go for it. However, you guys said next month in April. 29th is confirmed to be a placeholder date, which leaves only the 30th or 31st for a May release. You guys also mentioned that you will provide an update, when you have more to share and that doesn't sound like it's going to happen in the next few days, in my eyes. Maybe Bravo will have something in his potential WWU?

I'm not sure, if people from 343i understand our perspective. We can only assume stuff, because communication is very poor. It clearly shows on Twitter and in 2 other threads on this Forum. :/

Yes I played it online for a while after launch.

Soooooo does the game actually work now since they;re pushing new content to it? I gave up around February after about the 9th promise of "This patch will fix the game, we mean it this time!"

They say very clearly that the game's in Certification. Cert doesn't have a set period of time that it takes as it's the quality check portion of publishing. Them giving us a date would mean that cert's being rushed, or they'd be flat out lying.

It's better. I wouldn't say "it works". My brother and I still have frequent voice issues and party issues which require rebooting the game. Occasionally the games are super Laggy and the dedicated servers we were promised last e3 are no where to be found.

Somehow every other developer in the world is able to provide a date for when their dlc will be available. Strange.

I have faith that the game is coming out this month. No delays to announce, Stinkles sounded super optimistic and we got this. If it were to be delayed, wouldn't we hear something, anything? Because at this point we have two days and nothing. It isn't happening.


It doesn't matter what you think, this is the reality that we are in.



Pretty happy to know for a fact that we will be playing ODST in a couple days at the latest.

Doesn´t take certification about a week ... given that they don´t find any faults and have to fix them and start over ?

So if they are in the final stage of this I would assume we can expect the update in the coming 2-3 days.

I have it digitally and only been on gold for 1 month after the release. I haven't had Gold since. MS just emailed me the code this morning.

Thanks Xbox Team/ 343i
