XBLA outage tomorrow: What will you be doing?
Fo myself, i'll be cowering in a corner having DT's from not being able to go on terrorist hunt missions on R6:V.
How 'bout you?
How 'bout you?

The outage is scheduled to end at 2 PM PST, which is 5 PM where I'm at, so I'll be at work while Live is down. So to answer your question, I will be wasting time on the DVDTalk forums working.
Doesn't affect me at all.

Will there be any improvements to XBL after the outage? I remember all sorts of upgrades with the original Xbox almost every time they went dark.

Clan support is when you can remain a group inside individual games without having to rejoin/reinvite your friends to your party every match.
Can't do it without Halo 2 as an example, sorry KS. It's like when you want to go from a deathmatch to team slayer to team deathmatch to capture-the-flag to King-of-the-Hill to a ranked battle. Most games force you out of your party each time you switch modes. Thus forcing you to start a new party and reinvite everyone.
98Nole is right, I remember hearing the same thing. He did not dismiss it altogether though so a potential fall update could include it. The big rumor is that MS is going to make that clan/MP code available to all developers once Halo 3 hits because by then they will have an all new system in place.

i just wanted something in broader terms. Its been over a year since I played Halo 2, so i didn't think I could relate to the example as well, for some reason.
why not impliment the system now, so its flawless by that time?

Yep. They've gone 2 hours over the 14 they scheduled.
Won't affect me too much since it's "American Idol" night and I normally don't sign on 'til after 9 p.m. anyway.

I'm guessing it's still down right? When I test for xbox live connections in network settings I keep getting an mtu failure which I've never had before.
