I have to agree on this. I'm lucky and still have my retail copy but some did buy the Games on Demand and did give away their old copies when they were assured that the update version was as good as the retail. So it's kind of shitty for them to get screwed. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but someone should have thought of those two versions and caught this before the update was released.

That the majority of the players have the retail disc (as is kind of expected), so they all have updated games. I can only imagine the players who a)have a GoD/Preview copy of the game and b)are playing right now are far, far fewer in number.SailorDaravon said:

BlueScrote said:
Heh, sorry for picking such a big map with just the two of us. Though Frankie and Loop popped in briefly there.
What the hell happened, actually? It seemed like there were two full groups of people and then suddenly one group was gone.
Still on, just hanging out. GT: Retrogames, if a slot opens up or whatever...
Hydranockz said:
Obviously. I wasn't disputing that, more the fact that two versions of the game exist (one of which you can purchase on Xbox Live right now) that are basically fucked. I honestly don't understand how they can't get the TU up to either version.
The only playlist I can get games in without obscene wait times is Zombies, and randoms in the lobby are bitching about not being able to find games without understanding what's going on. This was poorly done.

Didn't Frankie come in and say earlier that they have different game IDs so they have to be updated separately? Poorly done when not even 24 hours passed is maybe a tad too harsh when there would obviously have been the transition phase where some wouldn't have the update.SailorDaravon said:

Just got done with some customs. Still feel the same about the pistol. It's going to need a hard nerfing otherwise I can see the complaints now. Bloomless DMR + faster movement speed, I can strafe again, hallelujah.

Poorly done as in Matchmaking is essentially down for us. If matchmaking went down for this long unexpectedly for everyone, wouldn't you agree it was poorly done? What if it went down just for people whose gamertags start with the letter H? Maybe then you'd sympathize alongside me.Hydranockz said:

My worst one. I blame it on not getting the gist of the map quick enough.
It was just refreshing to kill people with no shield, at least for me.

A day without Halo, aren't you already an inheritor noobs?
Hydranockz said:
Right, and I have no idea what technical stuff is involved; I'm not actually disputing what he stated is the issue. But the fact that somehow preview and GoD copies of Reach somehow cannot be updated as the regular version is, and as such completely breaks fucking Matchmaking for people is sort of a big deal. I'm sure on the backend there's good reason why, but as a front-end user why my friend who bought a copy can play but my other friend who bought it digitally from Microsoft has essentially a broken game is mindboggling to me. I'm sure they'll get it fixed sooner rather than later, but the fact that they even need to fix that sucks, and now has me worried as a preview disc owner that the same thing is going to happen in the future.
I'm just going to have to bail on this, it would take me forever to get 80+ more kills in Zombies. Hopefully they have this fixed tomorrow, or at least don't have Matchmaking challenges tomorrow :/

Tomorrow is Thursday. It'll be Firefight mostly.SailorDaravon said:

So the gametype got released? I'll be on in 10-15 minutes if anyone is still playing. I've missed four pages and I already feel like out of the loop. lol

Tried out the new gametype and it's a huge improvement. Though playing TF2 for the last few months has impacted just how slow default movement is, good lord. Can't strafe at all lol.
I had a few moments of pure serenity where someone was off to run a corner but I managed to kill them because bloom was no longer in the way. It feels so good.

Yeah, I just realized tomorrow was Thursday, I have no idea what day it is lol
Can just do Score Attack, too bad I can't play Firefight with my friends like we usually do on Thursdays
And not to just be a negative Nancy, I do also really like the higher payouts on Challenges recently, so I do appreciate that 343!

We upped the speed to MLG settings on ours I think? Steely clarify. I can't imagine playing game after game with that DMR at the base speed.

That's good though. Hopefully the Zero Bloom gametypes will be really fast because something will need to counter that RoF. MLG, should they ever adopt this, will be insaaaneDevolution said:
I agree with that sentiment for GoD owners, but not for Preview disc users, it was a beta disc testing out a new format, the fact that it has Reach on there working at all is great. I've played it for over 200 hours, and it could have not worked at all. Of course it is unfortunate that it isn't completely working now, but a TU for a game on a beta disc being incompatible for MM and making you unable to join TU users, for the few 1000 people that have it, and got it for free, isn't a huge deal. I'm saying this as a Preview disc user.

They were really fast. And with the base speed up I was able to juke/outstrafe a couple people, which to me is a good sign.
Homeboyd said:
You can do most (all? don't recall) of those in Score Attack though, but it's still lame.
Booshka said:
Agreed, but MS advertised as the full game for you to keep. Honestly the only reason I kept it and gave my friend the retail disc (as opposed to the other way around) was I thought this would be more of a novelty/collectible. I'm just more baffled that this is even an issue at all.

Nah it was 120 speed, no AA's. I through in 110 jump and 150 gravity as well.
I just saved it as a gametype for future use and switched jump to 125 because some of those jumps on Sanctuary were pretty hard.

Not sure actually. I just know that it felt cleaner, faster and was a hell of a lot less messy.

Ah well whatever it was, it worked well imo. Good thing you saved it.

I would agree if Microsoft had not made it abundantly clear that it was for all intents and purposes it was the same as retail. If they had said well in the future it may not be compatible then yes I'd agree with you but as is no I don't.

Does that hopefully go for preview disc users too?

Still do the challenges, and it's pretty fucking hard to get 120 multiplayer kills when you can search for two hours without finding a match.Devolution said:
Also, they threw away one of the challenges on Monday (I completed all 4 only to sign on to B.net Tuesday morn and see I was at 3/10 on the weekly). Not that this matters either since the challenge counters started fucking up weeks ago.
Save me, Frankie!OuterWorldVoice said:
I had a bad day, and I'm really mostly upset that I can't enjoy the shiny new gametype with the rest if you.
Wait...is the TU ever going to be applied to the preview discs? It's all I have now, lol.
Yikes, saw the update, looks like I might be waiting a while. Worst case scenario, I just buy CEA in Novemeber and never have to play regular Reach maps ever again, I think I'd be ok with that.
