Download speeds are non-existent right now. The usage meter is telling me I'm getting 32kb down, see you in 3 months guys, gonna go freese myself.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
It's going on 1am. In two hours I've played one game :(

REALLY hoping it's back up when I wake up; but it's time for bed. Stupid to just sit here.

Nice "power of the cloud" you've got here, MS. I have zero faith they could have pulled off a digital only console.

Eh, whatever. Time for some skee. Good luck, all!
 
Such an overwhelming amount of content. Was difficult to resist not booting up Halo 2 campaign. I'm doing it in order this time. No luck in matchmaking either. Hopefully it's functional soon.

I hope they patch in an option to just turn off the ability to switch to classic CE on the fly. The only reason I ever use it is because the framrate for the Anniversary version is so horrible.
 
Didn't someone just make a thread about DriveClub being the game with the worst launch? Looks like it has some competition.

I got a small taste of 60fps Halo 3 MP and now I can't join any game. That's wrong, man.

It depends on how long it stays broken, it hasn't even been a full 24 hours yet.
 
ah, the days of buying a game at midnight and playing it 15 minutes later.

servers must be getting hammered because matchmaking is in shambles.

What? Because the matchmaking doesn't work 2 hours after launch? Play the other content while you wait. I'm still waiting for the PS+ version of Driveclub to even exist.
 
The entire XBL network is fucking up at the moment. It's not just MCC being effected it's other games too... Sucks :/
I didn't want to be the one to mention it, but every time this happens at the launch of a PS game, doesn't everybody point to Xbox Live and say it never happens for them, so their monthly fee goes to a superior service?
 
Still can't find people in matchmaking. It's gotta be because all the people who when to midnight launch are all downloading that 15 gig patch at the moment. Live just seems sluggish. My UI was having some weird screen flicker earlier as well. Not sure what that was all about, but it's quit doing it so I'll quit worrying.

My friend had the game since early Saturday. Says the UI and matchmaking glitches and issues you are experiencing tonight have been going on all weekend.

Relax kid. I'm merely expressing my displeasure with not being able to play Halo 3 MP. It's what I was looking forward to the most.

Woah, I was in a custom game with 3 other people and the game straight up crashed. I got a debug error message in red text too.

I don't think I've ever seen a retail AAA game crash like that before.

This is the company that invented internet infrastructure for consoles. Halo 3 was able to serve 1 million people in the first 24 hrs. Shouldn't this just be old hat for them by now? I know that launching any server heavy game is really really hard, but Microsoft has so much experience with this exact situation. How does Steam so handily kick their ass at download speeds and pre-loads? its 2014, and consoles still just suck. I'll stop filling the thread with bitching now.

I honestly did not expect such a terrible launch. Wow... was so hyped for tonight..

Going to bed, hope this gets even just a bit better tomorrow. Complete disaster
