UPDATE: THIS HAS BEEN PATCHED. NO MORE SLOW MOTION LOBBIES.
Here I was, minding my own business on XBL when I stumbled into a public match where time mysteriously moved along at least 4-5 times slower than normal; it wasn't just slowed player movement, but everything (bullets, grenades, sound, and even the clock itself) crawled along. I kept playing until I eventually was disconnected from the host-- at least 20 minutes of real playing time, but less than 5 in the game's (slower) time.
I was blown away... it was actually quite fun to try things out in slow-mo.
So, the first thing I did was to load up that strange match in Theater and take a look. As it turns out, playing back the match in Theater causes the slow-mo to "infect" my system, meaning that any private matches I start are also in super slow-mo (unless I back out to the main menu, in which case, time returns to normal speed).
Even the MENU under Multiplayer, along with its sound effects and the BACKGROUND MUSIC move slowly. What the hell?
I know this isn't much of a "tutorial," but you can achieve the same effect by 1) joining a game where slow-mo is active and then playing back the game in theater or 2) directly playing back the clip in my online vault. After this, you need only to start a private match (note: I tried a public match after this but the speed wasn't affected; I wonder, however, if it would still be in slow-mo if I was host? Remember, the way I found out about this in the first place was through a public XBL match).
I recommend saving a slow-mo clip to your own vault for easy access later, in case you want to load it up again to play in slow-mo. It's fun!
If you want to try this glitch using my video clip, my gamertag is GamerBot Beta (EDIT: My friends list keeps filling up, so I added the clips to two of my alternate gamertags: GamerBot Alpha & GamerBot Omega. If those lists get full, I can try a couple others). OR Just join me when my lobby is open (see top).
