Xbox Live is being taken down on October 17th for 24 hours, during which I suspect you'll all lose your minds. Xbox.com has put up a bunch of information on what exactly this means for you and what you can do in the meantime. I suggest lannage.


I fixed your link there KP - Recon

Edit by Sawnose on 10/19 at 12:16 AM PDT - Now that Xbox.com has re-enabled their personalized Live account info, we have too and you should now be back to the regular two-day-ago experience. Nothing has changed in Halo 2 during the Xbox Live maintenance and the related leaderboard outage on bungie.net. (No hopper changes, no stats reset)

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Would this be a good place/time to speculate, guess, or wish what the "maintenance" might result in?

We did it in an earlier thread in The Flood and some interesting ideas were suggested.
Are you suggesting that the Flood actually came up with some sort of intelligent thread? :-O

The Flood huh?... Im not going in there...... Its dark.

What an awesome Birthday present for me! My birthday just happens to be the 18th! When they plan to release the awesome secret stuff! Thank you Microsoft, thank you!

About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day
Posted by: RhythmKiller
Posted by: Krazy_J
I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Ouch, the timing is perfect with my cousins visiting tomorrow, I guess it'll have to be 2v2 4-player mode instead of team training =(

Edit: Ah I thought the maintenance was being performed immediately and didn't notice the date...

ZOMG!

I would like to see more Xbox.com integration between Xbox.com, XBL, and Messenger.

  • 10.13.2006 12:28 PM PDT

I feel old.

I only have one question how come no other game developer website for xbox 360 has this on there website?

Hopefully, they're not integrating URGE into XBL. (URGE is a music purchasing system that is included with the new Windows Media Player; it's a lot like [the new] Napster and iTunes)

  • 10.13.2006 12:37 PM PDT

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

I don't care I'm going to an Iron Maiden concert on the 17th! Party at the Palace!

(For you people who don't live in Michigan The Palace is where the Pistons play and where concerts are held)

Don't worry everyone you can play Halo 3.5 on your PC. Just look up Soldat Halo 3.5 on google, it's actually better than Halo CE and Halo 2's multiplayer. Something Bungie will have a hard time beating. Heck it's even newer than Halo 3 since 3 < 3.5 .

Could there be some new anti cheating measures that are going to be implemented during the downtime?

But I will say this to modders, and please, spread the word if you know any. Quit now. Right now. Today. The Banhammer will look like the nicest thing we ever did pretty soon. That is the only warning I am giving, because bluntly, I want the modders to suck it down when it arrives in the night like an angry ninja.
