All I'm hoping for is a Halo that maintains its population. If you're having fun, great, but how many times you gonna play the same 3 maps with the same 3 game modes before you decide to move on. Season 2 is a long ways away.

 

I loved me some Hang em High, Chillout, Prisoner, Battle Creek, and Damnnation, but if Halo 1 only had Blood Gulch CTF, I still would have played for years with my college buddies

They really need to do something about idle players in the team games especially the smaller matches. Annoying as hell.

 

They probably should just axe the battle pass. Let people play the game based on the game (like remember when we played games for fun not because you got a Master Chief arm band?)

 

or implement some sort of rep / avoid system so you don't end up matched with them.

This isn’t a knock on the game at all, but I’m pretty much done with MP for now unless we ever get some group games going. Excited for the campaign though.

I haven’t played it in over a week. I’m loving Forza and thought I should give it my full attention before I dive into Halo full tilt. I’m kinda happy I’ve done this

Same. I took a big break from halo online so that it's kinda fresh when I get the game tomorrow.

yup yup! Is there a preload on Xbox? I don’t see a campaign preload on pc. I have multiplayer downloaded but that’s only 24gb.

I don't know and I was wondering this myself. I'm not home but is there a way to preload on the gamepass app?

 

@Keyser_Soze do you know the answer to this?

[The def star]

There is no preload for Halo unfortunately. Everyone will have to download the 70GB game tomorrow at 10am pst

I’ll try to grab it right away before the servers crash! 

[best3444]

I'll wake up and start downloading before I shower etc. No big deal. 

[The def star]

I'm sure they might have done this so that people don't data mine the game but everyone downloading at the same time is a recipe for disaster 

[Keyser_Soze]

@best3444 @stepee @The def star You guys on crack? It's literally the first thing you see when you open the Xbox App

 

[HardAct]

   I'll be on first thing too all long as the servers hold that is, pretty excited for this actually!

Yeah idk it didn’t have the option even on the page for the campaign so then I uninstalled it and preload appeared but it was the same data as before for the multiplayer that it is downloading.

I saw that on my app but I need to activate remote downloading on my actual Xbox first.

@Keyser_Soze I can only play Halo at 1pm eastern time!!!!??? I took off the day to play it. I have to be in bed by 6pm tomorrow. What the fuck. Unless I'm reading this wrong? What if I buy a physical copy in the morning?

For all I know you should be able to play a physical copy unless the campaign is tied to a server in which case you cannot.

[stepee]

It unlocks at 1pm your time, great time to start Guardians!

honestly I'd be shocked if us physical purchasers will be able to play right out of the box, no doubt we'll also have a hefty download before we can play

I'm pretty upset. I wanted to play this when I wake up tomorrow. Now I'll only have a little bit of time to play it before I have to go to sleep at 6pm. Fuck!

@Keyser_Soze So I can't pre-install this either through the app, correct?

I got my copy a few days ago, the game isn't on the disc. Youll need to download it.

On top of this it just sounds like the pre-install is just actually what is the multiplayer and when tomorrow rolls around you just download the second half instead of both at once

I am loving the new sandbox in Halo Infinite. Been watching a lot of WTF clips on youtube and boy this game provides more "Battlefield" moments than Battlefeild 2042

Halo Infinite soundtrack is out and it was made by one of the guys that did the Ori soundtrack

I need at least 6 hours of sleep man. 12 hour day is awful and being sleep deprived on top of that is trash.
