Okay. Just played a few rounds of multiplayer and I had a lot of fun. Weird to be playing with a KB+M.

Just one minor issue I'm having is achievements unlocking for stuff I didn't do. And no, its not because I previously played Halo on Xbox, this is a new account I made today.

I generally understand wanting pre-load just because it's convenient and has become more of a norm these days.

That said, we're talking about a port of an Xbox 360 game at the end of the day. I'll be pretty impressed if the thing breaks 20 gigs.


It was 15 gigs.

Anyone else having an issue with the game not launching from the GamePass app? Nothing happens when I click "play."

According to a faq I saw this morning, uncapped is available as an experimental option upon launch


Anyone know how to uncap it?

I'm sitting here at work in anticipation. Accidentally closed Steam this morning so couldn't remote download via the mobile app.

If you have the same issue, you can just force launch the actual game app. Dont go through Game Pass launcher.

Game looks great for a 10 yr old 360 game.

Anyone having issues finding matches? It takes forever to initially find one for me. I have all the settings selected.

Haven't been home yet to play but that was an issue in the testing. It's the servers.

Nope. I'm finding them quick. There's 150k players just on Steam right now, not counting the cross play with Xbone.

This might be the only game in history where my computer teammates in the campaign are worse drivers than me.

Been playing SWAT and snipers a lot.

But the atmosphere is different, that or its been a while since I played Halo. What happened to all the trash talking? I've heard like 2 people tops using mics over the span of 10 games. It was lit on Halo 2 and Halo 3.

I'm fine with this. My first game I went 4-12 and I was happy to not have some mouth breather telling me to go play another game.

Are private custom games a thing? What about forge? I plan on playing post work today for the first time

I'm trying to do the campaign on Legendary alone.. it's been pretty rough. Got to the part where you pop night vision inside that warehouse area. Won all 3 MP matches I played... ahh the nostalgia. Regarding crossplay with MP, can that be turned off? I'm enjoying KB/M but like with anything (and especially Halo), don't Xbone players have an advantage with aim assist?

I have just over a dozen steam friends who have the game, but no custom games yet. I have a feeling it won’t be prevalent like it was in halo 2 and 3 though because of how diversified online gaming is now.

Haven’t messed with forge yet
