So the Energy Sword still has no startup sound for me. I've never heard it.
Is this something I need to report to 343 somewhere? Is there a bug report thread on their site?

Matchmaking only achievements?

Are you fucking for real? It's early morning for their first game, first map pack, first map pass. I know it's probably frustrating, but its a few hours. People in here are a goddamn joke.

Yes I'm fucking for real. When I pay a premium of $25 for DLC, I expect the product that I was promised on time. They've had months 2 months to prepare for this, not sure why it's a problem.
This is Microsoft, they should have their shit together. The maps really should have been primed for Season Pass owners a week in advance.
And are YOU fucking for real? It is not early morning everywhere in the world, people in here are a goddamn joke when they try to defend stupid actions/mistakes by microsoft without thinking things over.
And I saw developers who aren't as big as 343 or published by Microsoft running their first map passes without problems.
Just woke up and tried to download the maps. Same problem as you guys.
This is seriously like...I don't even really know what to compare it to, are there any other games with this high a budget and this talented a staff that has blunders like this?

I am pretty upset, but you have to admit it's just a tad ridiculous that the people who bought a code that gives you the map packs can't actually get them right now, unless you want to drop another 800 points. Going by 343's track record so far with stuff like this, who knows how long it will take to be resolved.

My stance is "chill, it's only been a few hours," but you do have a very valid point about this being Microsoft and they really should have their shit together.
You've got to be kidding me?
Come on, 343! Learn from the mistakes of your forebears. NOBODY WANTS THIS.

So is HaloGAF gonna get an achievement lobby going for this weekend?
It appears that a few of them are bugged - I was able to get "Killed a player while airborne from a mancannon" and "Killed an enemy with a melee when landing from a mancannon" without ever touching a mancannon. I got it by meleeing a sword guy in a trade on Wreckage.
A few miscellaneous things now that I've played a few matches on each map:
- Harvest seems to be the real winner here. CTF and KOTH are both decent on it. Shatter Slayer is incredibly boring, KOTH is okay. Haven't played Wreckage CTF, but I can actually see it working now that I've seen the layout for myself, and KOTH works okay on it. However, Oddball Wreckage shows up in the voting, and that would be a complete disaster. It's a sizable map in terms of area.
- Wreckage KOTH has massive, gamebreaking framerate problems. It was unplayable the second you even approached a decent battle. I'm talking about like 5 fps here. Hard to say whether or not it appears in other gametypes since it's rarely concentrated around a single point like that.
- Extraction has not shown up for me a single time. It's only on one map, I guess, but still. There is no Extraction playlist, so Crimson DLC is the only place to get it (which I think is incredibly disgusting, to be clear - the gametype is on disc and supported by default maps, hiding it behind a paywall is gross).

Well, considering none of the Season Pass owners have it yet, I wouldn't exactly say that's indicative of actual population.
Great... I saw framerate drops in the IGN video when he was using Rockets but I was hoping it was just the video. Guess not.

Well this is awful news
The maps have been out for six hours, none of which were anything approaching peak hours in the game's largest territory, are behind a paywall, are not available to a large percentage of its potential audience due to Season Pass issues, and it's the start of the work week. This means literally nothing.
That it has 800 people right now is impressive.
Might've been a fluke, I dunno, but it was worse than the Dominion framerate issues that have popped up consistently before. Hopefully it's not a recurring issue.
I know it doesn't really mean much, just thought it was kind of interesting. I wonder where it will be tonight and into the weekend.
Even if it was a few weeks, I don't ever think you'd get a refund.

This is my stance for now as well. It is a bit suspicous that these kind of things weren't thought about before hand.
ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I don't think the dollar amount or item purchased has any bearing on how to treat customers. I would've even assumed that Season Pass holders would've gotten the maps a day early or so to reward loyalty.
I know it's only a couple hour delay but you get my drift about doing business with people.

You have to complete the first 15 missions of Spartan Ops on Legendary (can be co-op) and enter the correct code to get the Raider shoulders.
Can't remember what you have to do for the torso piece, but you have to log 1000 matches of War Games to get the helmet. No thanks.
That would have been nice, and entirely unexpected. Hopefully the map pass bullshit will get figured out by the time I get off work.

Is there a link for this stuff anywhere?

This is a little crazy now. Its like they are doing everything possible to destroy the community. I am not saying nobody likes the game but for the most part everything and more that could have driven the community away has happened.
Its a shame too because before launch most of Halogaf was excited and defending 343i.

It is truly a dark page in the diary of the Halo franchise.
how is BF3 nowadays?
I think I played the last time .. I don't know a year ago, how long will I have to update? A week?

To be fair, I didn't experience any noticeable framerate problems in Campaign...
Multiplayer is another story though. Dominion
Had to dig this up:
Gears of War: Judgement Day, I think, but I hope for a Halo 2 A.
Here's what I think:
The next gen Xbox will be presented on the Microsoft spring-showcase to the press 1st, next year. Then there will be maybe an embargo until E3 2013, where it will be shown to the public. Next year, this time arround, it will be released then.
Hoping for launch games, like:
Destiny
Halo 2 A
Watch Dogs
Star Wars 1313
Battlefield 4 (being almost confirmed to be released March-April 2014, but the Beta will be fall 2013)
Assassins Creed 4
Mass Effect 4
etc.
One can only dream.

Probably wouldn't have the money for all those games, but who knows

Yea. I have to agree. To be fair the campaign's framerate seemed pretty damn stable except when hitting load zones which has been a staple of all past Halo games. Now multiplayer yes there are some pretty big issues with framerate at times.

I definitely did, especially in coop.
Not sure how you made it through campaign with no frame drops. The level with the mammoth will shit on your life if you look at the double rainbow at the "death river."

Tried to download the crimson pack to no avail, came here first thing. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I really want to try the new maps!

I have a season pass somewhere (haven't redeemed the code yet), I don't care about the game too much in its current state and have yet to renew my XBL
Still, this is unacceptable. We paid premium for the LE/pass and we should, at the very least, get the maps simultaneously with the others.
:lol at people calling others "entitled": we already paid for the maps, of course we're entitled!
And WTF at the framerate problems, I can't recall ever having to deal with the framerate in Halo MP. 343/certain affinity, get your shit together pls

It's not great that the issue has been present for like six and a half hours before they dropped a Tweet about it.
This is my first season pass and probably last. Did anyone experience similar issue with season passes?
