I think people just didn't expect them to start a technical test when most of the world has gone to bed
They're based on the west coast US, they want to run the technical tests while they're at work. Meaning on their time, not yours.

Edit: like who would run tests for anything when they're asleep lmao

Welp, I cracked open a cold can of Mt. Dew, and popped in a shitty Totinos pizza. My body is ready for Halo even though I'll be paying for it in a few hours. Let's GO! 💪

Look obviously that's going to be a factor, but anyone who works across time zones knows that most of the world is asleep when it's afternoon on the west coast.



God bless America
Then wouldn't launching this tech test in the middle of the afternoon make more sense to allow a slower trickle of players in as opposed to opening flood gates?

Yeah because that's what I said isn't it...

Use your brain pal. There are actually times that work for the majority of the audience that also work for the US

This is a technical test. Not a beta. Not early access. When they have everything ready, they'll let the participants in. They're not going to run technical tests from home asleep in their bed just so the other half of the globe can play. They're going to run the test when they're at work. Meaning their time zone. When they're ready.

Im surprised they dont have a way to just let xbox users access it via the insider program instead of needing codes

And they will run the technical test at times that work for the people running these tests. Obviously, they still have some things to work on behind the scenes.

I just set up remote desktop on my phone, so I can start the download from work if I don't have time when I wake up tomorrow.

... I don't remember the last time I cared this much about Halo.

Maybe we should all chill out. Can't believe the website crashed over people waiting for an invite to fight bots. I get it people are hyped but there's no information on any exact details from devs today.
