[Ramirez]

Apologies, new code incoming. Let me know if it works.

What's the word on sharing gameplay? I see Dax is streaming, so I guess there isn't a restriction?

Go nuts

 

[-Ryn]

I dunno, aren't people being allowed to play today?

Yeah I just assumed they could play and stream as much as they want. Didn't really think there was an embargo.

So far there hasn't been any mention from what I can tell so I'd imagine you can you share as much as you want.

Edit

Go nuts

There it is

 

[Fracas]

Go nuts

Oooh, I wish I had a connection good enough to stream.

Instead, I'll post first impressions from a skeptic. I'm excited to try it though

Link?

 

[Blueblur1]

It's today at 4:30pm EST, right? I'm gonna try to catch a stream on my phone for a bit at work.

It's a perfectly fair rant, but allow me to add some context:

1. We're still fixing MCC. There will be continual updates on big and small items.
2. MCC is finally in a usable state for the vast majority of users. If you're still unable to matchmake, we'd VERY much like to see your gamertag and use it to figure out some weird edge cases.
3. Some of the things that are still wrong with MCC are server side/hopper issues we'll be addressing continually as other tech fixes take effect.
4. The Halo 5 team is not the same team as the MCC team. They are tasked with making H5. They are not drawing resources from the same pool. Life must go on.
5. The Beta was always due in Dec. We have to stick to that schedule because that's how production has to work. there are lots of dependencies.


6. The eary access is a limited and wonky version of the beta. they are getting a fraction of the content and will have to endure a lot of server side dickery. They are testing it at scale so that MCC purchasers (who they are largely a subset of) will enjoy a much tighter and FAR more complete experience.

Frank, this might be true for user in the US, but it's far from the reality for those in the UK, Brazil, Australia and more. It's almost impossible for us to get into matches.

Go apeshit.

Link?

I saw it on Twitter yesterday.

See Frankie? I not COMPLETELY full of it...

 

[The Henery]

He probably cut and pasted from the wrong column. I'm almost out, but I will poke him.

Apologies, new code incoming. Let me know if it works.

That worked, thank y'all

 

[Kibbles]

Are these codes being thrown about for full access or just same as preview members for the next couple days only? :3

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Feedback thread will be posted soon, I'll be heading out, but if I can come back and I see it on fire...then OddOne gets it.

 

[The Henery]

Good day for me to get this email

6 upload too, pretty swee

 

[Welfare]

I would stream, but you can't use GameDVR while streaming

 

[clav]

Frank, can you take a look at mine (Mdot twenty3): as I noted above, I sometimes have terrible lag in H2A matches. Doesn't seem to happen on any other maps from CE, original 2, 3, 4. Figure that might help if others are experiencing similar issues.

I've been having this problem since launch for most H2A games.

No dedis.

 

[Tashi]

That worked, thank y'all

read this as GILF at first and was extremely confused

The stars are aligning. Good luck dude.

lmao

 

[Computer]

Any streams yet? The wait for my code is killing me. Do they send the code in your messages? Or email? Or preview app?

 

[Hulud]

Can I get a link to a beta stream?

 

[Ramirez]

Can I get a link to a beta stream?

It's not live til 4 EST.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Alright, finally got around to posting some of my clips if anybody is interested.

Splattering a guy + sending him flying. I laughed incredibly hard when I did this.

Also, Frank/Tashi/343/whoever, I ran into this glitch a bunch the other day. Go to launch the game, press start, and then the UI never loads. I couldn't do anything. . Quit the process on the dashboard and relaunched, still ran into the problem. Tried 5+ times, then went and unplugged everything and still nothing. Unplugged everything again and let sit for an hour or so then it finally worked. Don't know if it is an MCC issue or an X1 issue.

 

[Stinkles]

Can I get a link to a beta stream?

I don't think it's live yet. between 12pm and 1pm. More likely the latter. But it might go earlier. What do I know? Same as Jon Snow.

 

[-Ryn]

Won't start for a while.

Spoiler

I just realized what your avi is now. I thought it was a space marine from some old ass game. Not a super soldier from some cool old ass game.

That sniper greed.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I'm the only stream worth watching, just remember that when 'The Henery starts broadcasting'.

lol wish we had seen where the body lands

 

[Fracas]

I'm guessing the beta is MM only, right? Would love to do some customs.

 

[nillapuddin]

How long til I should expect to start downloading

I've got my company working night shifts and I'm about to crash, but I've got to know if I should call someone back at the house to watch out and start the download

SERIOUS BUSINESS

 

[Tawpgun]

So early access begins at 4 est, 1 pst?

 

[RowdyReverb]

I am suddenly sad that I'm leaving for my vacation this afternoon. Oh well, at least by the time I get back the real beta will be about to start.

 

[Tashi]

So early access begins at 4 est, 1 pst?

Officially, yes.

 

[Jellycrackers]

I can't decide which day of work seems/seemed slower:

Today, waiting to play Halo 5

Or October 24th, the last work day before my wedding.

I have a problem.

 

[jem0208]

Officially, yes.

Do you know when the Preview member codes are going to start getting sent out?

 

[User 73706]

I'm going to be spending all my time in the beta just trying to get out of maps. We should have enough movement options for it to be feasible now, especially on the UNSC ones.

Halo is love. Halo is life.

 

[Tawpgun]

Officially, yes.

Neato. You gonna be on?

 

[Tashi]

Do you know when the Preview member codes are going to start getting sent out?

I do not, sorry.

Neato. You gonna be on?

Probably not, I have to help make sure things go smoothly.

Speaking of, if you guys run into any issues in the Beta, please post them here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/bee0f457ca024faba8acad15950b4db6/topics

 

[Bornstellar]

This is going to be torture.

How big is the beta file going to be?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

How big is the beta file going to be?

10.2 gig

108 mb update file.

 

[VinFTW]

It's installing, ahhh, so pumped.

 

[Rev3rb]

Checkpoint... Great shot, marine!

 

[Nowise10]

How big is the beta file going to be?

10.2 Gbs I believe,

 

[jem0208]

It's installing, ahhh, so pumped.

Already? Where did you get your code?

I do not, sorry.

Ah, that's okay. Hopefully I get the code soon... It'd be nice to play tonight.

Wasn't from the preview beta. The beta doesn't officially go live until 4est so don't stress it I'm sure you'll get it before then.

Aha, I'm not stressing just feeling jealous

 

[VinFTW]

[CreateNowSleepLater]

Thought I was going home to surprise Junior with a H5 code. I am disappointed.

 

[biosnake20]

Anyone get accepted into the preview program since yesterday?

 

[Garrett 2U]

Anyone get accepted into the preview program since yesterday?

I doubt it, usually takes a couple days.

 

[User 73706]

How big is the beta file going to be?

anywhere between a cragmeter to a .mapometer.
