Being chucked into the Halo channel when you find a terminal was a bit annoying. Would have been nice if there was an option to just carry on after finding it. It was just a bit jarring going from the game to a bright yellow screen with "HALO CHANNEL" on it.

Minor quibble.

Oh yeah, when you go to the bridge to talk to Keyes, one of the crew freaked the fuck out for like 10 seconds. His upper body was just spasming wildly, then he stopped and stared at the floor for a bit before going back to normal. Was pretty funny. I recorded it but the Xbox won't let me upload for some reason.

 

[MaxiLive]

Doesn't look like my Shopto order is going to arrive today

 

[metareferential]

Y'know, I'm sick and tired of street dates. So many people are getting and playing games early, there's no purpose to them other than making everyone wait to play something that's readily available.

People already have had their copies of MCC. I go on PS Live last night and a bunch of people are already playing the new AC (which looks quite nice btw). Seriously, I'm sick of being forced to wait for no reason. I'm fine with a street date so people know that's when to expect it, but when the store gets the damn thing in, let them sell it!

Edit: Or at least reward preorderers by letting them have their copy.

Digital pre-orders should have a slight advantage and always be unlocked the beginning of the release's week.

It's stupid that I have to wait while others are playing.

 

[Strider]

H2A social/rumble all night tonight. Big team battle in the morning followed by some classic H2 and H3 after that. That's my plan.

Will probably start the ranked playlist Friday or Saturday... give myself some time to get back in the swing of things first.

Too hype.

It's most likely to save disc space, and the Xbone structure makes going to another app not TOO big a deal. But disappointing 343 still has terminals that require you to go out of the game to view them

SimplyGames, if you want them really early.

 

[m23]

I bet this has already been answered, but will I be able to start and maintain separate campaign saves across multiple games?

Let's say I start Halo CE tonight but then want to jump to Halo 2 after a few missions, will the Halo 2 campaign save overwrite my CE save?

Separate saves for not only different games but separate saves for the campaign playlists as well. So I could have different saves for Halo CE, Halo 2 and even for the Master Chief Saga campaign playlist.

 

[joeygreco1985]

My copy just got delivered to my house

Gotta get past a day of work and my doctor's appointment tonight, then it's Halo time!

 

[BraXzy]

Out of interest, did anyone preorder online from GAME UK? Has anyone had theirs delivered from them? That's where my physical preorder was before I cancelled, I hope it didn't end up delivering early :3

 

[FDBMath]

I can't explain it, but I am really excited for this to unlock tonight. I came late to the Halo party, having never had an original Xbox. Anyways, I am excited to play the first two Halo games for the first time and revisit 3. 4, I need to finish as my 360 decided to crap out on me shortly after it came out.

Oh well, I am looking to get my feet wet with some serious multiplay tonight.

I am in Southern California and usually play at night, my GT is FDBMath

 

[JigglesBunny]

For as much shit as we all give Halo 4, the score is getting me jazzed up listening to it during my mid-term.

It had some real epic spots in there.

No early delivery from them at all. =/

 

[mrklaw]

I'm guessing most multiplayer will be around halo 2? With so many maps it could get very diluted

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

you guys are lucky, the ones that got the game early :'(

I pre-ordered from them but I haven't received my copy.

They used to always deliver games a day early, but that seems to have stopped months ago.

 

[Diablohead]

I gave halo CE a quick 10 minute play before getting back to work stuff, I still like the updated look that anniversary gave it a few years ago but the image clarity and 60 fps really make it feel lovely to play again, for the X'th time.

I'm going to enjoy playing over the campaigns again like this.

 

[The Inventor]

Alright, I ain't waiting until next month or January. I am getting an Xbox one and Halo MCC tonight at midnight.

Yeah, baby! ( Austin Powers voice )

 

[infinityBCRT]

Halo MCC and AC: Unity have been delivered! can't wait till i get home )))

 

[RandyBobandy]

I really need to get tomorrow off work somehow

 

[bedlamite]

Game just unlocked for me

but then I get hit with the 15GB patch

Sonafabitch shouldn't patch updates be automatic or some shit? Godammit

They are, did you have your console on standby?

 

[Kurt Angle]

working on a client that has an account ending in 117

fuuuuuuuck me, make it more unbearable pls ; ;

 

[shandy706]

Choices. My entire library is digital but

1) i have a chance to mingle with a few peeps on microsofts team and have them sign a physical copy or

2) i could just resume my regularly digital download program

Le sigh

Buy physical copy and have them sign it. Put it up/on display and never open.

Also buy digital.


Problem solved

fuuuuuuuck me

The universe is conspiring to make the wait as difficult as possible.

 

[kopitarrulez_11]

So is gamestop the only one releasing this at 11pm central

 

[Hatchtag]

Can't tell if my game updated automatically or not. Says it's 59.1 GB. Is that how big it is for everyone else or?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yeah, fuck it, I'm picking up an extra copy tonight or tomorrow. Gonna trade it in for AC:U when my delayed copy arrives.

 

[Computer]

Going to be so tired when I go to work tomorrow morning. Come on 11 pm.

 

[Hixx]

Can't tell if my game updated automatically or not. Says it's 59.1 GB. Is that how big it is for everyone else or?

The disc wanted to install ~45GB and the update is ~15GB. So I'd say it's updated.

 

[bedlamite]

They are, did you have your console on standby?

Yes that's been enabled. ah well I'll just have to wait.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Can't tell if my game updated automatically or not. Says it's 59.1 GB. Is that how big it is for everyone else or?

59.1 is after update

 

[Spade]

Can't tell if my game updated automatically or not. Says it's 59.1 GB. Is that how big it is for everyone else or?

Yup, 59.1gb on my XB1 so I'm pretty sure you're good to go

This wait... 12 hours and 40 mins can't come sooner

 

[Tawpgun]

Yes that's been enabled. ah well I'll just have to wait.

This is worrying. I expected the update to already be applied. My game shows it being at 59 gigs.

 

[lionpants]

Woot, tracking info says "Out for delivery". Shipped on the weekend from Future Shop here in Ontario, Canada.

Guess I'll have it a day early!

 

[Tc91]

That's correct.

I need to play more online, please find a game

 

[ozz ex machina]

Yup, 59.1gb on my XB1 so I'm pretty sure you're good to go

This wait... 12 hours and 40 mins can't come sooner

Errr mine says 57.9GB.

Should I worry?

 

[bedlamite]

This is worrying. I expected the update to already be applied. My game shows it being at 59 gigs.

My game installation is also 59GB. I left the console alone for about 5 minutes and game installation jumped to about 25%, and it's ready to play. I think the patch was downloaded but it's only now being installed.

 

[Strider]

There was actually a really small 97mb update yesterday that pushed the game to 59.11GB so some of you will probably have to download that once the game launches. Just a fair warning so dont freak out if you have to download that when you launch the game thinking its the 15GB one

 

[bidguy]

digital unlocked for me. gave me another 94mb update though

 

[Dusktildawn48]

the digital version D:

 

[Fotos]

Any customs goin on? I would love an invite.

GT: NFotos

 

[Rev3rb]

I have a feeling I'll be playing mostly customs tonight. Just need to make it through work today and I'm home free!

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Errr mine says 57.9GB.

Should I worry?

No, it's fine.

 

[Niven]

I didn't expect halo 3 to hold up this well!

 

[Conkerkid11]

It's not letting me purchase the game digitally from the Hong Kong store.

Oh well. I tried.

 

[DatAhmedz]

My game installation is also 59GB. I left the console alone for about 5 minutes and game installation jumped to about 25%, and it's ready to play. I think the patch was downloaded but it's only now being installed.

Did it mention anything percentage-wise beforehand? Mine just says "Updating..." even though the game size is 59.1 gigs :/

Hmm... How much space was the installation/update?

Gonna be sad if I have to wait another hour or whatever to DL the update at 12 EST

 

[ozz ex machina]

No, it's fine.

Xbox restart sorted it

 

[Omni]

Arbiter levels are sexy as fuck.

Anyone with the game getting weird audio issues when using a headset? It's like it breaks up occasionally. I haven't noticed it with any other game, but then again this headset is only a week or so old
