I'm playing on Xbox and am really enjoying it. There are games where I get completely destroyed, probably because I'm playing against some PC VR players, and then some other games where my team dominates the other team because we actually work together and call out enemies and have one player use ion lasers to disable then another player follow them up to kill them. I tried searching for only xbox players once and after 2 minutes I gave up, couldn't find enough players to fill a match. So, went back to crossplay and found a match within seconds. I guess there's a lot more PC players than xbox players right now.
Tried at Best Buy, they didn't even go live until an hour after they said they would, and then I had it in my cart and each time I tried to checkout it would say "we encountered an error. Try again in a few moments." Kept trying for 30+ minutes and then got the notice that they were sold out. So, no go for me this time.
I'll just wait and try to pick one up at some point before Halo launches.

Picked it up last night and it's great! I'm getting frustrated a bit because I used to know where each collectible in each level was, but I'm having trouble remembering their locations now. Also, I'm definitely not as good at this game as I used to be. Still loads of and and I'm looking forward to being able to complete all the objectives in a level in a single run like I used to be able to on N64.
Same. I'm tempted to just wait until Halo comes out before getting the Series X. Might get a PS4 for cheap to play all those games I've never played before.
Halo Infinite pushed to 2021, which is probably the best decision for the game to make sure it's as good as it can be when it launches, but that leaves Microsoft with basically no first party launch titles for the Series X now.

Free-to-play multiplayer confirmed, and 120fps on Xbox Series X! Of course, I don't even know if my TV supports 120fps... I guess I should look into that.
Sounds like Ray Tracing won't be there at launch, but will be added for the Series X eventually. I can't wait to see what this game looks like when it takes full advantage of the Series X hardware!
