My first game of Arena and I received a rating of 1273.

Which was the best on my team.

By a large margin.

We got trounced and it felt like I was playing 1v4. Turned it around in my 2nd game a bit but going to wait till some friends are online before playing again. Just to clarify, is your daily rating based solely on the first three games you play in a day? Cause I've had a rough start.

Based on your best 3.

[Numpt3]

Wooo done

 

[Apath]

How do people not love the DMR?

 

[derFeef]

60% - kicked off from LIVE, 1%

 

[Zomo]

No more splitscreen

nearly finished downloading on my own console.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Can't wait to get home to all these new assault rifle fodder in the Arena. Should help boost my daily rating up

 

[Rahxephon91]

Well it downloaded pretty quickly but I'm to busy with the Paramore thing on Fuse to play.

I'm a bad person.

 

[Cuban Legend]

Because we can't decouple downloading the beta early and playing the beta early.

This is something Steam does and has been doing for years. Get on the ball, Microsoft!

 

[JambiBum]

Then why are you saying you want Slayer Pro changed? Just vote for Normal Slayer or Slayer Classic and hope for the best.

Because if they add an AR to the DMR start then it doesn't matter what gametype gets picked I'm happy lol. Unless I have a full party of four then I rarely get my AR start.

Really it's just me being greedy. I would at least like AR's on the map since DMR's don't just get left out of the other Slayer gametypes. Even it out.

Just watch, there'd be so many people in here going "I have the fielz why isn't it wurking?!?!?!?!???!?!?"

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

So how the hell do I download this? I have my ODST disc in the tray but the stupid beta isn't showing up on the menu. I'v re-booted about 3 times now. I don't have a code in my game box either..

 

[Oozinator]

Here are the social settings that I'll select:

Teamwork: Team Player
Motivation: Having Fun
Chattiness: Chatty
Tone: Rowdy

What about you guys ?

 

[Cuban Legend]

No, he's talking about the 30 million PS3 owners who never know when the damned PSN monkey is going to hit the switch to put out the weekly Store updates.

Ah, i c.

 

[Kraut]

They've said this has already been fixed for release IIRC.

Thank Christ. That shit is seriously infuriating, ending a game with zero after I just spent the whole time fetching them while some asshole just camped out zone and did jack shit.

thanks tips!

 

[Pennybags]

Here are the social settings that I'll select:

The chattiness option seems to work pretty well.

I would like to know what factors affect the other settings.

 

[Mo0]

Here are the social settings that I'll select:

What about you guys ?

Teamwork: What's that? I thought every mode was Slayer
Motivation: K/D
Chattiness: I will be so loud that your team will hear me through your microphone after I talk loud enough over proxy chat to get picked up
Tone: OOOOOOOOOOH SNAP! PWNED, YOU ******! SUCK ON MY NUTS!

(Oops, bad word snuck in there while I was trying to imitate immature Halo kiddies. My bad!)

 

[CitizenCope]

I can't kill anyone with it.

That should just be renamed----- Halo Community

 

[Drealmcc0y]

[BenjaminBirdie]

[Jedeye Sniv]

[Lunchbox]

be part of "gaming history" cock licks

 

[Olivero]

There are now like 56,000 people online. I've been searching for a match now for almost 8 minutes.
Sigh.

 

[JambiBum]

Tommy and I just played a group of new guys. It was glorious.

Spoiler

For us, not them

 

[DopeyFish]

First game, first rating : 1701

 

[WJD]

The fuck? 60,000 more people and I'm struggling to find a game.

 

[Mr. Sam]

And the download... begins!

 

[Trasher]

The fuck? 60,000 more people and I'm struggling to find a game.

That's a lot of new connections to sort out. Obviously it's gonna take it a bit to get going.

 

[Lunchbox]

loading from reach server.........


great job, you odst peasants broke it

 

[Mr. B Natural]

I can't kill anyone with it.

Welcome to halo: pea shooter edition.

Use nades and melee. Stay far away from the real fight and pick people that are half-dead off. Let everyone else do the hard work and reap the reward.

 

[ZZMitch]

Almost home! Damn you high school!

10:20 AM 21,444
10:40 AM 37,685
11:00 AM 82,226

And away she goes.

 

[Neverender]

'playlist data pending download...'

 

[Ninja Moomin]

WOWOWOWOWOWOOWOW!



Bungie... thank you. This is so awesome. It's so good i almost feel emotional about it.


I heart you.

 

[LaneDS]

Ugh, so my 1 year XBL card I've been saving since purchasing the system in January is now mysteriously missing from my living room, is there an easy way to gain access to a 48 hour Live card?

 

[FrankT]

Gots my hoodie on yo.

 

[Kimosabae]

I just played my first full game...

HOLY SHIT, I can't believe people are complaining about this game so much.

 

[lockload]

That's a lot of new connections to sort out. Obviously it's gonna take it a bit to get going.

in halo3 terms its nothing..

Depends how much they have dedicated to reach matchmaking though

 

[Mr. Sam]

My download keeps breaking. Tremendous.

 

[Phaethon0017]

Finally. I was avoiding this thread, bitter, and angry at all of you who got early codes. Now, I can post here. Bitter, and angry at even more people who are playing today or are even 1% ahead of me in this download D:!

Spoiler

I need anger management.

 

[Olivero]

And..... Reach is officially down.
EDIT: Now it is back up.

 

[snack]

I can't connect to a game now. WTF!

 

[Willeth]

And..... Reach is officially down.

Yeah, I got that too. We just finished a game and now we can't start matchmaking.

Obviously you didn't take part in the Halo 3 beta then. The thing didn't even work on the first day... I don't think you understand all the connection shit it has to begin going through when 80,000 new people all log on at once for the very first time.

 

[TheOddOne]

What? Its down.. ahh c'mon and BF:BC 2 also keeps giving me problems :/

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Matchmaking just started working again for me. Connected quickly

 

[snack]

80K+ players now. Servers are overloaded. :lol
