Just wondering if the reason why the MP portion is locked because they already know the servers will be junk? Gotta wonder after the mess MCC was.
I expect there to be a group of MS/Halo haters that DDoS the servers on launch night.
It’s locked because you shouldn’t be playing it. Plain and simple. The game has a set release date, and it is not that day yet.
But it if you watch those people who ARE allowed to play early, it is working smoothly. This is gonna be a clean launch.

Man I really hope this doesn’t happen but I somehow suspect it will :’(

Or because the game hasn’t been officially released yet…?

And if that happens and it’s not confirmed, we’ll end up blaming 343 for the servers instead!
Day 1? Most likely not 100% working order, but I do think playable.
After a couple days it should be fine, unless they’re lying in saying they’ve been doing server simulations daily for stress-testing.

Well, then again, there’s probably only a few hundred people playing pre-release compared to hundreds of thousands (possibly more) at launch day, but I have faith!

are you ALLOWED to be playing, do you have a review copy?

Well since I bought it with HARD EARNED MONEY I will say yes.
I imagine they’ll be much more up to par than the MCC servers were.

How are you even able to get on the game before its been released? And hundreds of thousands of other people have bought it with their hard earned money too, but we all have to wait (except you it seems, minus the reviewers who don’t have to wait).
i figure if the mp is glitchy the first night (hey, its launch, nothing ever goes to plan) there is always the campaign. i seriously doubt there would be another fiasco like the mcc, just because: 1) that was really bad, catastrophic is a good descriptor (why, how and all those reasons are unimportant) and 2)this is an exclusive title that’s been in development by a single developer over the course of many a moons (i know that’s no guarantee, but it should only be just short of that).

Came in the mail on Thursday. Lucky is the only way to explain it. Looking forward to digging in the MP like everyone else. SP has been awesome up to this point so all is not lost.
I bought my tickets for the new Star Wars movie already. But I’m pretty sure if I go to the theater and hand them the tickets they will still tell me no.
Multiplayer is Locked until 00:01 on the 27th as is Co op campaign - the only ones with Access are YouTube gamers/Press as they were given an early access code.
Well, azure Microsoft cloud service is one of the largest server farms in the World, on the scale of google or Amazon servers. It doesnt matter How much halo 5 sells, it Will still only use a fraction of the azure servers.
Mcc problems were with its coding, not with the servers. Just look at titanfall, it also uses azure servers and it runs flawlessly.So if halo 5 is coded correctly it Will work fine. And since reviewers on twitch are able to find games with no problems even with low populations itll be fine.

The game HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET.
The reason you can’t connect to the lobby is because it’s not available. The game officially releases on the 27th. Only then can you access all of the game, because that’s when they unlock the servers for everyone. Only review copies can play it early, as in reveiwing companies and people with prominent youtube channels and such. Ordinary consumers aren’t even supposed to have the game yet.
Just wait. The game isn’t officially released yet, and they aren’t going to unlock the servers early because some online retailers had a glitch and sent the game to a few people a couple days early.
