What time is the TU?
Prolly somehwere between 6 AM to 3 pm EST America time
When we get it.
Whenever the update menu pops out when you load up Reach ;). That is just first step, it won’t change anything…at first. Then the Beta Hopper playlist will become available to the public.
If all works out well, Reach will become Halo Reach.
Like X hours from now.
Hope that helps.
A TU gametype will not be available right away so it doesn’t really matter what time the TU drops tomorrow.
Wait just because the gametype isn’t coming out right away doesn’t mean I can ask what time the TU will be.
Will people with 4GB consoles be able to play campaign and Firefight online from the get-go, or will they have to wait for that too?
Yes,but don’t know when.
they said we will be downloading the TU today. It is 3PM on the 21st already where is it?

It just barely hit 12 here on the west coast, where 343 is. I’m betting on about lunch tomorrow realistically.
I understand that with the title update, 343 will have the ability to change how much bloom there is and will have the ability to change this on per gametype basis. I think that they are trying 85% bloom to begin with a single gametype with 0% bloom.
Well here is my question, does the bloom reduction affect automatic weapons such as the AR? And if not, should it?
I believe bloom will affect Precision Weapons only such as the pistol, NR, and DMR especially for the last one. It’s terribly inconsistent.
Automatic weapons with bloom such as AR and Plasma Repeater work as intended. I hardly hear anyone complain about bloom on those weapons but bloom on the DMR is horrid. Magnum in some cases but the NR is fine, the only example in the game where spaming gets you no where. Too bad it’s a 7 shot kill and 9 for SuperCombine explosion.
OK, so I got a Preview disc from wherever I got it from, and Xbox LIVE won’t let me download the Title Update. You know the weird thing? I haven’t used any Reach discs since May. In May, I deleted my installed copy of Reach (via the Preview disc) so as to clear up space to download the game from Games on Demand. So technically, I’ve been using a Games on Demand copy of Reach for about four months now, and I only used the Preview disc briefly (I did have an original Reach disc before it and still have said original disc).
So, the question: Considering all of the above information, why can’t I download the Title Update? If I read correctly, the problems weren’t supposed to apply to Games on Demand. What gives?
Well it was said that some small bugs would be fixed but we were never told if any, more important bugs would be fixed such as the Infection Betrayal bug.
Anyone like to shed some light?

I hate to say it, because gosh-heck it, it sure comes in handy when there are campaign challenges, but they might wanna close that whole forkie loophole on Nightfall!

Multiplayer wise, no bugs can be fixed in Campaign with a .map file download.
Hopefully such things as the the revenant auto-aim glitch were fixed. Oversight of such massive glitch in a TU would be disappointing.

Not in an unsupportive manner, I wish it was removed to but it wasn’t a bug, it was to make sniping from a Revenant easier.

gasp NEVER!! At least I hope not. I didn’t think too much of it at first but when you really want to kill off a campaign challenge, that really comes in handy. And I would doubt it as well since 343 seemed to aim it’s first official Weekly at that loophole completely since they wanted a campaign mission done in under 9 minutes on Heroic. The fastest me and some friends have done was blowing through Winter Contingency in 10:58 i think. Nightfall is one of the few where you won’t get caught in a major delaying conflict while running through.
