[spenser.d]

I got back from work just in time apparently. Downloading now :D

[philcruicks]

Anyone else finding there's suddenly jump to 99% mine and several of my friends have....just seems to sit there..dono i'f its still downloading behind that or not.

[Sikh]

You also forgot that they are READY for THIS. Ive said it once and im gonna keep saying it, Microsoft is putting all the big guns up for the Reach Beta and Launch.

Wait till schools out and the servers will hold steady as hell.

Im downloading now, just got home. REACHHHHHHHHHHH TIME

25% @ 20 megs in 6 minutes... I like very much.

Also, this is gonna bring my 360 back to life hahaha. No more PC for awhile.

They learned their mistake from Dec 07 when Halo 3 was being purchased for everyone during Christmas.. gawd, Live was so bad for a couple days there. And all I got was some stupid free underwater game :p.

Can someone check something for me?

Mate is going to bring his HDD over with the beta. We want to play split screen. Possible?

Arghhh.... Turned on the controller by pressed the guide button... cancelled the download and jumped back to the ODST intro screen - goodbye 30% :(

hey atleast they gave you something. and Exactly. That was my point earlier in this thread and other threads. Microsoft learned there lesson and have been beefing up live ever since. My dashboard loads so fast via system and internet.

Ill be instantly up. Many friends have noticed NXE / updates to be a big improvement even over old launch consoles that have NO on board memory. I have the COD MW2 360 so yeah. But anyway, Love Live.

[Sikh]

Gurrr My playlists wont loaddddd.

I forwarded all the ports :(.

[philcruicks]

yeah the servers for playing seem to be getting over loaded, mine took ages to load playlists.

[spenser.d]

Man, it was going well until I switched gametypes. Now its "Halo: Reach server is not available at this time."

[Sikh]

You know whats funny, look at the Players Online.

123,633 Players Online... WTF

WOW..... The Playlist Servers are getting HAMMERED. Only way i could play via a friend.

Working fine for me. And to whoever asked, I think you can split screen. I was just in a match with gamers and one had (1) at the end, i.e he was sharing the account.

Yeah its working now. There adding more servers, you can just tell.

This is a definite buy, might just buy 2 legendarys haha.

I really like the new social settings so you don't need to listen to these punk kids anymore (Y)

Menus look great too. Game feels great! Now I've played with the scout armour ability I never want to play Halo without it again lol

Jetpacks I'm not so keen on! Especially when the entire team uses them.

I've just finished 3, 4on4 team slayer, matches ending as the last one on blue team still playing...(finished every game no matter what)

Can you filter out quiters?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I made the mistake of leaving match making & now it's too busy to let me join again :laugh:

Very nice touch being able to see your friend's stats / character from the party list (Y)

Major major major major issues with connecting right now. Unable to even start matchmaking at all as I keep getting server unavailable and/or "Playlist data pending download..." :(

[Razorwing]

can we have private matches? I"m downloading now.. 18% done.

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Nope.

No custom games anyway afaik.

No, they really dropped the ball on that :(. They should have kept in custom like they did with Halo 3's beta.

I can't get into any games with friends so I'm done until later. My friends list went from 20 people playing Reach to 6 people since majority were unable to connect properly (even those who had FnF code / beta.)
