Feel like the Beta just choked and died. Server Issue on every loading screen. Six lobbies in a row just froze. Before that there were no issues.
The porn music needs to stay tho.

Really, really sad that jumping was nerfed for boosting
It's working for me here and I'm in the UK. Aside from it chucking me in American lobbies, it's working fine.
They REALLY need to have a datacenter option

Hard resetting my Xbox One fixed the matchmaking issues I was having all day.
I'm definitely having a lot more fun with this than I thought, and if matchmaking works this well on launch, then I'll definitely pick it up. I'm looking forward to seeing how BTB works, and what vehicles they're going to use.
My only complaints so far are with how much of the screen the energy sword takes up, and of course the killcams. I hate them, and don't understand why every single FPS is using them. The only good part about them is the game ending killcam. That's it. And this game doesn't even use that. I don't want a killcam. I want to see the person who just killed me teabag me, then run off. That's it. The fade in and fade out during the killcam, and the fact that it's like the last 2 seconds before you died is absolutely useless.

There are problems when someone leaves it kinda sucks.
I find it faster to just restart the game.
If you're having consistent issues with matchmaking, hard reset your Xbox. It fixed my issues, as well as other people's.
I wish there was a final kill cam. I like seeing how the match ended especially in tight 49-49 games.
Working my way to Gold from Silver 3. I got screwed during the preview with some of the teams I was on and even though I did pretty good, I got placed in Silver 2. Something I don't understand is how you get points towards ranks. In 1 match I got 81 points but in a match that we won 50-15, I only got 3.

So the Beta is greyed out for me. Do I have to watch an ep of Nightfall?

Yeah me too. I don't care for the kill cam but would love to see a final kill cam.
May have to do hard reset.

Better play your ass off the first 10 games. Once you get put in a rank it is a beotch to move up. Im gold 1.
Hard reset Xbox. Try again.

Yea, the whole thread that's Brad Pitt screaming what's in the box is pretty funny. The damn statue better be incredible for that price.

Why? I like seeing how I died.

I'm in a match which has to be overseas, by the time the kill cam loads up I am already dead on the feed.
I just saved a clip of a sniper trail going a good foot through a corner and hitting me, i'm getting grenade throw lag, dieing to bullshit.
Please can I have UK server connections instead of bullshit overseas servers, 343i?

Second match upcoming. This is fun so far.
I wonder if the ed boon I'm playing against isn't the real one
Anyway, does having zoom set to left trigger fully zoom the sniper?

i wish it kicked in a second or so later than it does. sometimes its difficult to tell if you trade kills with the person that kills you in its current state.
Agreed. Its unnecessary. I rather see what's going on in the match so I'm more aware of what's going on when I respawn.
Yep.

click to zoom, so no, you need two clicks to fully zoom the sniper
It at least needs a toggle option. I prefer to continue watching the progress of the match, especially for objective game types.

I'm pretty sure I read about somebody ranking down from Silver to Bronze in the early access, but I think you might be right.
Could just be that you need to lose to someone about to rank up for the tiers to switch.
I've been bouncing back and forth between Gold II and Gold III. Gift baskets for the teammates who helped me get there are already in the mail.
No good restarting Halo, you have to give your console a hard reboot as in take the power cable out the back and restart. Doing that fixed most of my MM issues.
Onyx II currently. Won 10 games in a row and got ~5 points per win. Now I have lost 3 games, -15 points per loss. It's broken.

$330 here. I've had every collectors edition of Halo games but I may have to give that a pass. Ridiculously priced unless it's solid gold.

Kill cams are wrong for me like 99% of the time so I don't really see the point in them. I mean, I don't mind them but they just seem useless to me. I mash X through them every time.

Option to play the beta is still greyed out for me. Am I still waiting on an update, what do I need to do here?

game seems fun from the 3 games I played. I'll need to see a BTB map before I can have solid impression of the game
