New set up has commenced

So my debit card was hacked so im not using my ish no more for xbox live purchases. My question is can i buy xbox live cards at like walmart amd points to buy digital games and such?

whats the point in having a card if you aren't going to use? online is still safer than physically using a card.

My Card got hacked back on the 360 I just used those prepaid cards or go buy MS points from Radioshack.

Played Battlefield for a bit today, seems cool but I know I wouldn't play for an extended period.

The more I play battlefield hardline the more I want it.

I'm copping borderlands the week after it comes out so I'll have my gameshare buddy cop it

I watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes last night, then flipped to Cartoon Network and watched two Episodes of Bobs Burgers. My 400$ media server putting in that work

I just dont really feel like its the Xbox One's fault that happen to not enjoy very much gaming outside of old school halo.

 

[carver]

Is the hardline beta open for everyone?

I'm massively out the loop.. I need something to play when I am bored.

 

[Ricky D]

I can't lie I barely play my X1 either but that's mostly cause I'm on PS4. I do however have 7000+ minutes logged in on Twitch. That app is too clutch

But rather than make multiple posts over this robbery today I'll just make one.

-Today marks three weeks since the last patch and 16 days since they pushed it back with no timetable outside of "Februrary"

-Tomorrow marks THREE MONTHS since the games release....It doesnt work

-Then theres this.

Alright, to start with, Tommy Kost came out with this video  last Thursday which outlines how to tell who's the host in a matchmade game on MCC. I kept that info in mind over the next few days, noticed a difference between hosted games and dedicated ones, and released  my video  on Saturday which outlines those differences. To summarize:

-Hosted Game:

• Someone is listed as the "Game Session Leader" (the host); you can be listed as the Game Session Leader and not be on a dedicated server as long as the below two bullets apply
• The privacy for the lobby is set to "$CLOSED"
• You don't hear the 3-2-1 countdown during the voting screen

-Dedicated Game:

• You are listed as the "Game Session Leader"
• The privacy for the lobby is not listed
• You hear the 3-2-1 countdown during the voting screen

So, because most everyone already didn't believe 343's claim that "the vast majority of games are being played on dedicated servers," I recruited some people to help me keep track of their games over the weekend and whether they were hosted or dedicated. I did not play with these people, so all their games are separate to mine. We counted any game that made it as far as the voting screen, meaning that games that failed to load or ended prematurely were counted.

• Me (East Coast US, Open NAT): 86 games played, 4 games  dedicated
• Friend #1 (West Coast US, Open NAT): 51 games played, 3 games  dedicated
• Friend #2 (England, Moderate NAT): 70 games played, 5 games  dedicated
• Guy I met in H2A Rumble (East Coast US, Open NAT): 63 games played, 2 games  dedicated

From this info we can conclude one of two things: either a) some people are unable to play on dedicated servers consistently while others pretty much only play on them; or b) most games aren't being played on dedicated servers. Either result is bad. Judging by how many people on this sub have mentioned they haven't heard the countdown too often (meaning a host-based game), I'm leaning toward most games not being dedicated.

Not like I believed 343 anyway when they said most games were on Dedis, but its always fun exposing their lies.

Oh its partly Microsofts fault being that this is their flagship franchise and the reason Xbox even made it this far then they had bundles that were geared around moving consoles knowing that people would buy this game right afterwards (Assassins Creed Bundle). They lowkey conned me into buying this thing.

Halo might still be their flagship franchise, BUT halo mcc has clearly not been their priority pre and post launch.

Matter of fact, I think there were people in here wondering why there were hardly any commercials for halo mcc....

Nobody doubts how epic, pivotal, fun, game changing, etc halo 1-3 were.

I put in idk how many hours into halo 3

But at the end of the day, guess what...

The fact that Halo is their flagship franchise, to me, means their focus in on halo 5.

And they proved that by having a beta run 10 times more smooth than a title that, at that point, had ~6 patches already.

Any petition's up to get my money back? Halo has been tainted for life now and as a gamer I feel like I shouldn't let companies get away with this nonsense. 

 

[xxpizzo]

i still never even got my free 1 month i think im going to call and complain once i get out of work 

 

[djyoung08]

I didnt even buy halo mcc (game share)

and i got my free month

 

[Ricky D]

I got my digital refund and still got the 1 month free

No luck with the beta tho

 

[shottadru]

Got my free month.

Being bitter about your machine is your fault bro lol there are plenty of games out that work but you sitting there refreshing dev twitters to complain instead of gaming. It's over man, look at the timeline, Halo is dead. MCC won't be fixed and you don't like Halo 5. Gotta move on man.

Last time I heard of someone getting a refund for this game was two weeks ago.
