Were begging for cat pictures. preferably with lazers.

 

[Sean]

Let's take bets, does anyone actually think that Xbox Live will make it through Wednesday alive?

 

[Speevy]

Yeah the Crackdown flood hasn't even hit.

Then we get graphics bitching redux, then the matchup phase, then the gameplay discussion, then more begging, then if it isn't locked, some bannings.

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[Fletcher]

So it's coming up on live at 2a.m. like all other demos, right?

 

[Speevy]

Not a chance. There's nothing that will stress test it like this event, besides maybe the announcement of a GTA4 demo on the marketplace.

Asked that a while ago but it was forgotten through the begging. =/

 

[Ramirez]

Yea I really wish Microsoft did some kind of preload thing so this doesn't happen. Wednesday is gonna be a nightmare. I'm sure a lot of people are taking off work and such and they're gonna be pissed when XBL is down.

Half a million people downloading a 900 meg file at the same time. Yikes. No server can possibly handle that kind of load.

 

[SpudBud]

Grav Lift, Bubble Shield, Trip Mine, Power Drainer

Thanks and with that i'm calling it a night.

 

[Captain Jebus]

So.. anyone wanna play some Halo 2 with me for a bit?

I'm hoping MS isn't so stupid as to make it turn out to be a complete disaster. I'll probably start the download in the morning before going to school and by the time I get home it should be ready and waiting for me

 

[Eric WK]

I'm down. I'll send you a request right now.

 

[Captain Jebus]

Ok Add Captain Jebus though, my other account is still silver

looks like its time to delevel! suicides and TKs! woohoo!

 

[Rorschach]

Just a couple days early dude. Right???

:lol

 

[iSimon]

Anyone know what time the beta goes up for us Aussies?

 

[mushy]

god it feels like they are never going to fix the 90s level design in halo games. oh look a huge ****ing ramp that goes to a base with 4 doors and no point

 

[Eric WK]

Hit up Bungie.net. There's a countdown that coincides with your time zone.

 

[thatbox]

I know, seriously. I hate online games. They always have me capturing flags or bombing buildings or shooting bad guys, but what's the use? There are always more flags and buildings and bad guys. What's the point?

While that's pretty cool, you do realise that's a 9mb gif, right?

 

[dralla]

is a flying warthog and plasma stick worth 9 megs?


i think so.

 

[iSimon]

raddddd, it's so close!

 

[Sean]

raddddd, it's so close!

but it feels so far away

 

[Rorschach]

While that's pretty cool, you do realise that's a 9mb gif, right?

But it's cool! And there's a couple of guys in this thread with 1.5+mb gifs for avatars. 9 more megs won't hurt!

 

[Eric WK]

but it feels so far away

Yup.

 

[RPS37]

I stole this gif off Erik Brudvig's blog on IGN. Funny stuff.

FYI: It seems as though the MLG kids who scammed their way onto the Beta are officially playing. How do I know? Because the level of retarded shit talk has gone from zero to ungodly amounts of.

SIGH.. Back to fake customs for the remainder of the Beta

 

[Ramirez]

Well the population is still only 400, so it doesn't look like many of them are on

It can't possibly be as bad as Halo 2 currently is. I've only had one decent game since the ranks were reset. It seems like every single person on my team ****ing quits within the first two minutes and it's driving me nuts.
