Just like Halo 4.... oh wait.

Just looks like skyscrapers on top of skyscrapers. Reminds me of some of the structures on Venus in Destiny. This is a far cry from what New Mombasa looked like in the final game though.
That's a weird one. They should unlock it for everyone if they can't figure it out. The Windows Halo Channel app is taking a while to load up now.
There it is. Nightfall still works for me.

I think Halo 2 doesn't hit the lows of some of CE's second half, but has nothing as good as the first half of CE. And it lacks the sense of mystery, but I do agree that the fleshed out story is pretty intriguing. The blur scenes made me want to grab a bucket of popcorn and watch a Halo movie.
I don't understand the "wednesday" date in the first place.
This doesn't seem to be the type of issue that you wait a couple of days to fix if you've already figured out, and it's also not the kind of issue where you can have a solid ETA on so that we can actually expect wednesday to be a locked date where things will be thoroughly fixed.
What am I missing here?

I think Wednesday was the estimated date for their patch getting through MS's certification process. 343's patch is done, it just needs to be OK'd by MS.

Am I losing my mind? Pretty sure Halo 4 had a beta with Halo CEA.
I have no recollection of this
It didn't
Why is that?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
There was no beta for Halo 4.
It's something to do with a license update. If the Halo Channel or MCC updated wrong once, i guess your locked out. I tweeted Frankie about it, no idea if he'll respond.

Halo 4 is basically entirely wiped from my memory and I have no idea how.

Right, Wednesday feels like their just-enough-time-to-hopefully-figure-it-out date.
The patch is done, it just needs to go through the standard certification procedure. The ETA on that was Wednesday.

I'd honestly take Halo 4 with locked 30fps split-screen over this buggy collection. But I suppose returning the game communicated that already.
Ah, ok, I see.
Well, reaaaally hoping it does the job, or at least a big part of the job.
Campaign, yes
Multiplayer, NO
For me, yes to both. I didn't care for Reach's multiplayer much at all. Felt too sluggish to me. Halo 4 post turbo update felt more fun.
Honestly though, being your multiplayer Spartan in Reach's campaign was pretty neat.

How I feel.
Reach without certain/all Armor Abilities or Bloom actually is pretty good. Not as good as prior Halo games but close.

No, my guess is your confusing it with ODST having the Reach Beta.
Reach w/out armor abilities and with a movement speed boost would have been nice to see.
One other thing I'll give reach, I think art style wise Reach probably came to the closest to replicating Halo CE's art style. Reach felt like it had more vibrant color to it than H2 or H3 did, and that's something I normally equate to CE.

Uh, so why aren't my campaign saved films working in Halo 3. I can select them, load them up, but when they start I'm greeted with a black screen, the Theater menu and no way to actually start the film, even though the game displays its length.

Reach multiplayer was littered with forge maps, Sprint and abilities like armour lock didn't help either.
I also prefer 4 multi

Testing and the removal of final bugs...testing is rather important so the wait is fine
I think you are thinking of the orbital elevator...if it is the thing that stretches highest in the sky...used to bring stuff into orbit without rockets
also seen in Forward Unto Dawn

testing IS rather important but the wait isn't fine, it wasn't fine when the game released
They were pretty good. The jetpacks were awful though

is this broken again or something? i can't find a match anymore

again? It's been broken
i like it. forge continually amazes me with some of the stuff that can be made.
i need to post the map i made in the Forge OT tonight. Made an arena map named "Murder Bowl". It's not really meant for "serious" games but instead silly shit like shotguns or rockets.
I don't mean fine really...fine as in its already broken might as well wait to make sure it will work
It worked the one time I tried it. Haven't started the Halo 3 campaign yet. I've no idea how to get the screenshots I took out of the game.

Why are people getting refunds lol.
Wait until Wednesday at least
The workarounds they have listed for MP actually work in cases. I know it sucks to have to wait 3 minutes per game but it is what it is.

It was never unbroken. Lol
You probably just had a luck moment, but it was never fixed. Wednesday patch is our last hope!

I love reading the intermittent posts about people saying how it's working for them after they find 1 single match, then subsequently being pissed that they can't find anymore and "it was working just fine!"
Shit is still broke people. Wait til' Wednesday, where it probably will still be broken, but say, 70% functional.
The most annoying part is the fact that a split-screen vote, even with two XBL Gold accounts on the same console, counts as a single tally. Why the fuck does it not count per-player?
Also, they need to remove H2A maps from rotation until they can fix the split-screen framerate. It is completely unplayable in its current state.

Complacency is your enemy. You shouldn't settle for a broken product and I don't blame anyone for wanting refunds. You're also assuming that the Wednesday update will make the game function exactly as intended which I have a super hard time having faith in. It may be less broken, but any degree of broken is unacceptable.

Holy shit. I specifically remember playing Haven prior to launch. I think i'm retroactively placing myself into the memories of some pre-launch multiplayer footage.

It is definitely broken but I don't understand why you would get a refund when the game may be fixed a few weeks down the line. Unless you just never intend on playing the game again.

It shows that we as consumers aren't going to stand for releases like this. The culture around gaming has facilitated companies assuming it is perfectly okay to do this to it's paying customers time and again. I'm personally refusing to play the game again until it is fixed, I'm not going to go through the hassle of getting a refund for my digital purchase. People are right to assume it won't take a week to fix though, historically games that release this broken take a long time to fix. DriveClub is still having issues over a month after release and Battlefield wasn't truly fixed for almost a year if I recall correctly. I'm hoping this Wednesday has the game working exactly as it should have last week, but I'm not counting on it.
I am enjoying trying to make natural maps. New Forge makes this much easier. Still playing around to see what works.
Slight tweak with trees.
Now for spawns and weapons.
