Friends/ live menu

[legacy-MURDOC940]

Ive been playing the demo for awhile and noticed that the friend capabilities are very limited (messaging and such). Also i cant join my freinds. i select join friend and it just goes back to the menu, bug or has the rooms just been full each time. Will the final virsion have more friend thinks like halo. i think there set-up is un paralelled. is UCII going to have better menu and friend things than the demo or is it pritty much going to be the same? sry if theres been a post already about this.

As one of the developer's said, the Xbox Live interface, when it comes down to it, isn't done by them. That's why there is the Xbox Live 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 systems. Halo uses 3.0, this game will only be using 2.0 because of some reason they said. I forget why exactly, but it would delay the game for a long while at this point obviously. So no, it will not have the advanced features of leaving voice messages and such, sorry. =\

well if you haven't noticed, ever since x-box chat or whatever came out, you can always send messages wtih party invites. So you could always kind of fool around and send party invites with a message attached to it. And the problem with joining games is that the game cannot be full. Usually when you try to join a game and it sends you back to the main screen its because teh game is full. Thsi souldn't be as much of a problem in the full version because 8 people per game instead of 4.
