I'll take it if nobody else wants it - I cancelled gamepass and that was how I was playing it before.
Is it in some bundle?

That's bizarre that's it's not working for you. When I tried the cloud version it just asked me to login to the 360 version of XBL and then pulled down my profile and even my save games. It was seamless.
I did already own the game both on XBLA and as part of Rare Replay but I don't see why that should matter for the gamepass version.
What are you trying to play on?

Will see if I can look out my 360 and get that setup

Wheras I couldn't log in because I have, since the 360 days, changed my MS password to something longer than 16 characters.
Guess what the maximum number of characters you can enter for your password on the 360 is.

Now to see if I can actually get it to plays some games again...

But had some good games with Victor and Cumberdanes. Definitely hope we can get more of you in with us next week. Feel like we barely scratched the surface of the modes and maps.

Players not showing up on friends lists, not being able to see game invites, discord not playing nice, passwords being too long for the system, cloud just not wanting to work.
Yeah get a console it "just works"
I'm actually looking forward to having to manually set up a server again. Would be less hassle.
With that in mind I'm beginning to think about what we're moving onto after Halo 2. I'm definitely leaning towards something a bit more mid-90's PC in feel so probably one of the other Build engine games, maybe something else.
Might pull something a bit obscure out and see how we get on.

Does No One Lives Forever have MP? That was a cracking game
