I didn't get an invite Grrr!

Stream is Live now.

I have to say that the intro video was pretty dull but this is someone who loves the main game but never liked the multiplayer.

I met Brian Jarrad at XO19. Genuinely lovely guy who wanted to talk to all about Halo - what I liked what I didn't. Came across really sincere.

Very good stream. Liked the challenge swapping feature. They’re ramping up the bot difficulty as the weekend progresses before finishing with all human 4 v 4. Sounds like it finishes early evening on Monday.

Good to see the Xbox One version as well.

Shame there was no announcement for when we can download it.

Watching streams, it's against REALLY easy bots, which get harder as the Tech Preview goes, so they'll be harder tomorrow and harder again on Sunday with Sunday evening being finally PVP. I think new maps join over weekend too. Looks great. :datass:

I love the different AI companions, they seem to be quite funny.

Invite get!, Downloading via Steam now :toot:

Played about 10 matches. Very impressed with how it played. Bots were decent competition for my very average skills. Not surprised by its very positive reception.

Only issue was my guns stuttering in the shooting range.

Is it too late to opt in? :shifty:

Well I uninstalled without even playing it. Downloaded via Steam and every time I’d try and load up the game I’d get an Infinite (LOL..) black screen with 3 moving dots and that was it. Ah well.

While that is very cool, when experienced players all learn to do stuff like that, it’s going to make the game gooseberry fool for newcomers and the less accomplished, being unexpectedly annihilated from the sky.

I feel this way whenever I play any competitive shooter tbh.

Haha, yeah same here, but this is taking it to another level of aggravation.

The grappling hook is a pick-up item in MP with limited uses (I think). I doubt you'll see many players swinging around at all, let alone when you're at a lower level. Looking forward to using it in campaign where I think it's permanent.
