Good games last night guys. I left around midnight to play a few matchmaking games before bed. They sucked, so i crashed after like 2 games.

Fun times. :D

Sorry i kind of missed you Prime.

Yeah man I was wondering where you went. I still really suck at this game so you could have had a few laughs at my expense lol

Ah likes that Hammer thingy. :D

To be blunt, he fucking cracks me up. :) I don't mind him at all...he's hilarious.

I hope to play with you guys at some point. Not tonight thou, I'll not be around.

I'll be around, but it may be late...no idea how long it'll take me switch everything over to the Elite I bought today.

Serves are really getting slammed today. I saw over 900k people online.

Last night, when I logged off, there were 1.2 million people on. This was around 4:30 AM EST.

The amazing thing is, there wasn't a bit of lag.

I had a lot of trouble joining a ranked match this afternoon.

OK, I just finished the single player campaign. Can someone explain something about the ending (two somethings, actually):



Oh, and a big thumbs down to Bungie for putting the ending after a long credits sequence and setting it up so that if you accidentally hit a button during the credits, you get dumped back to the main menu with no way to see the ending.

I know I'm the only person in the universe who's more into Halo single-player than Halo multiplayer, but if you're going to include a single-player campaign on the game, do it right.

Yeah, we actually didn't get to see the ending after the credits either as someone pushed a button. Had to go online to see what happened.

There's at least two of us. I'll play online some (co-op lately), but to me, the single player campaign is more interesting.

I think I can answer your second question...

So, I know about the first day reports of Halo selling $170 million. Any new total sales numbers since it went on sale and if it helped moved more Xbox 360s?

Yeah, while it drives me crazy seeing 1 million people online and not being able to find a match almost instantly, I am continually amazed at how well they handle such huge loads.

I would imagine that 1 million includes everyone playing the campaign as well since the whole game is Live aware, not just the MP.

Yeah, cause making fun of whatever's popular at the moment is always funny.

So awesome, so hilarious, so accurate.

That guy's a legend, and every single one of his "reviews" are fucking spun-gold.

Could be. I haven't taken the time to add up the number of people online in the different matchmaking modes. But it does tell you the number of players in each game type and those numbers are huge as well in the more popular ones.

I'm still having trouble getting into matchmaking. It's worked plenty of times before so I don't think it's my setup. Anyone else having trouble?

Any time i have a hard time I just back out and try again; that always seems to work.

During the evening it's seemed to be better than during the day.

Good games tonight guys. I really like Big Team Battles on the sand map.

Finished the campaign last night. I did a little more than half on Legendary (up to the Ark), and finished up on Normal. I wanted to get through the story and focused on finding skulls and terminals.

Speaking of, I found all the terminals and didn't get the achievement for it. What gives? Do you have to wait until the screen turns red?

I was playing through the game with my cousin that already got the terminals who was helping me get the achievement, and he told me that you do have to wait until the screen turns red. When the screen turned red, the screen of the terminal moves and the text changes. Then you can just keep hitting A to skip through all the text, unless you want to read it all.
