I'm downloading it right now as I type this.  I can't wait to play it!!  Unfortunately, I have to work today so I won't have much time to play it, but when I get home tonight I definitely will be playing the heck out of it...lol.

me too!!! I have to leave in less than half an hour and the download is 81% complete.

Yea can't wait but of course next week is finals week so hope I don't fail because of this haha. But I'll download it later today.

Dang it! I wish there was a way to change the topic heading. I forgot to put the "t" in multiplayer. I was too excited about the beta to spell check lol.

I've been downloading for an hour and fifteen minutes and i still have 58% left to download :(

Also I hope they have the server problems fixed by the time the beta is done downloading.

I will be checking out later today after work

I've downloaded it and playing it. If you like Halo, you'll love this. If you don't like it, stay clear as the fundamentals haven't really changed that much and the graphics haven't improved massively though this is only the beta and MP maps. I'm sure by the time it's released the campaign will look a lot better.

Ok, I've downloaded it and looking forward to playing it and getting my butt kicked...lol.

For some awesome reason once I'm in the game it says the server is not available.

Is there something wrong with the Halo: Reach server? It takes forever it seems to download the playlists and for the game and map data as well. I have a good connection so I think it might be the server. This is day one of the beta so I guess problems will occur. Hopefully they fix it.
