Ehh, Im not a big fan of the main menu music for the Beta...

Cancelling my pre-order.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

anyone know how long until the beta unlocks?

2 1/2 hours.

It"s a lot better than that awful menu main menu music in Halo 4 though. I wish they just go with the Halo theme in any case.

 

[Peterpan]

They should have made him do something spartan like, punch a boulder or something.

Nightfall was worse then FuD for sure, a real shame, all it needed to do was squeeze these 5 episodes of story into 3 and then have some battle in the last two episodes, what we got was too dragged out over 5 weeks and had a boring I-Knew-That-Was-Going-To-Happen ending.

I mean the show did suck, but that Randell did pick up that explosion thing (sorry for my lack of knowledge was half watching) over his shoulder, which looked really heavy.

Felt the same way with Halo 4 when they diverted from the classic monk chant theme, but I came around and don't mind it now.

 

[JayEH]

Why isn't this up on the east coast? Timer on site is at 0.

Edit: they should really update their fucking site if it's not launching until the west coast time. So stupid.

 

[MXRider]

Do I have to download anything extra if I was in the preview? I downloaded the extra 7gb patch the other day.

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Cancelling my pre-order.

whoa don't do anything stupid now

 

[VinFTW]

Get rid of that rangers avatar first.

Spoiler

but seriously, that's all I did too, I think we're set.

With the horns? I actually love it. Already a big step up from Halo 4's music.

 

[ShadowsFell]

So is anyone here going to be running in parties?

Question for the preview people who've already downloaded the beta: Did you have to do it through the MCC, or was there an option through the store? I'm hoping to download remotely while I'm at work, but that probably won't be possible if I have to do it through MCC.

We had to activate a code they sent in a XBL message to begin the download. So it wasn't on the store or through MCC.

If you have the preview client you should be good to go if you've updated it already( probably did it automatically). But yes, if you need to download it you access it through MCC. Go to extras, H5 beta, that'll take you to halo channel to watch a cinematic and then the store to download. If you have it already it will launch the beta instead.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Ok. I'm not in the preview so I don't have that version downloaded. Guess I'm going to have to wait until I get home.

So once it launches for west coast how do we download?

 

[FamousLastX]

You can download it now through the Extras menu in the MCC menu so it'll be ready to play (hopefully) when it does launch.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Anybody in the US wanna party up right as this starts?

 

[WizzNARD]

Bummer! Do you have anyone at home who could do it? Maybe do it at lunch?

 

[Exploratory]

Yo, anybody in the US wanna party up right as this starts?

Yes.

 

[Chitown B]

In for "MM sucks right now!" comments.

 

[m23]

One more hour for you lucky folks at home. Stuck at work unfortunately.

 

[Diablohead]

Do I stream on twitch for zero viewers, hm hard choice.

 

[Zombie Lyle]

25 minutes until I get out of work. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few matches tonight.

 

[Mumford]

Anybody in the US wanna party up right as this starts?

Yeah. I'm about to hop on and play this for the first time whenever it goes live. My GT is Mumford730.

 

[Sou Da]

I'd watch.

 

[ShadowsFell]

Thanks, I'm downloading now.

And when I get home I'll have to hang with the wife for 4 hours before I can play.

 

[Sai]

Ehh, Im not a big fan of the main menu music for the Beta...

I like 1:36-3:10. :<

 

[op_ivy]

there will be much donging on the unsuspecting new players in 45 min!

I wonder if it'll actually start working at 12 est on the spot. I think the preview beta had a couple issues at the beginning. Hopefully it does.

 

[DarthWalden]

I really hope our ranks reset... Took me about 4-5 games to come to grips with the control scheme and how the new game plays and as a result I was thrown into bronze ii league.

I'd ranked up to silver ii by the end of it but I'd love to see where I rank with a proper evaluation period.

 

[hammertomb]

I cant believe ill be playing halo 5 in an hour. Im ready.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'll be getting on the donging train a bit late tonight, but wouldn't miss it for the world.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Bummer! Do you have anyone at home who could do it? Maybe do it at lunch?

Nope unfortunately :/

We need a Remote Play equivalent or a TeamViewer app for Xbox lol.

 

[Thursday War]

So the countdown on the site was for nothing? I demand a Reach remaster as compensation for this madness

 

[EroticSushi]

Anybody in the US wanna party up right as this starts?

I'm up for it.

GT: Hi iTs SlayeR

 

[jet1911]

[ElMexiMerican]

[Sou Da]

Yuck. I wanted it reset. I got screwed with bad teams my first 10 games.

 

[Blue Ninja]
