Hey I was messing about with reach earlier today and I managed to get into the custom games lobby but I was unable to change the game settings and start the game (I was able to change the map though). Here is how I did it:

1. Open mainmenu.map in ascention
2. Select the WGTZ tag > ui\main_menu
3. Show invisibles
4. In the "Unknown 1" section change the drop down box to number 4 (matchmaking) OR 6 (theater), or both if you feel that way inclined.
5. Change where it says "matchmaking_lobby.cusc" to "custom_lobby".

Thats all there is too it sorry for my bad tut I just made it in a rush I hope this can help someone find a way to get custom games in the reach beta :smile:.

does that say anything like cant start due to not connected live, i know that when your in theater during the beta testing and if you where signed off it said, "to watch film you would have to be connected to xbox live."

Omg, this has to be the single most greatest post ever it shows so much knowledge and value in the conversation!

On-topic;
I would keep my eye on Rework3d they are a smart bunch over there working on this.

So here is my progress. The post early from IvanishedI (great work btw) switching lobbies doesn't really help. since thats all i have been doing is switching the main menu to custom or firefight or, of coarse the match making or theater, and for the heck of it swapped match making and custom around. The closest thing Ive have gotten to is switching the start menu to firefight, or custom that will allow you to change your game setting, time, kills, rounds, the normal and a few things extra cant remember off the top of my head. just watch the video and you will under stand.

Does the same thing for custom games too just plays the film.

i think if we can make a plug in for cusc we can get closer to unlocking custom games for at least split screen, and maybe a better one for wgtz. sorry to be sounding demanding i would do it if i knew how, (would love to learn)

just thought i should upload where I'm at before i move to my new house. hopefully this might be some help.

If you run the Beta from the dash or the xex directly, it will load.

This goes for retail as well, but it boots you offline. (If you got the beta from a code and not ODST.) (Screenshots can't be viewed either.)
