Support NeoGAF

[radjago]

If you are waiting on Crackdown, then no, that's something the Xbox team is working on after neatly stacking their piles of money they made from the sale of a multiplayer demo.

Search your feelings... You know it to be true.

 

[Zalasta]

Now I just felt silly for taking the day off, should've went to work as usual instead. Oh well.

[Dai Kaiju]

Don't say I ain't never did nothin' for ya.

Thank you. It almost makes me not want to die.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

It's just so damn stupid, you can't believe it. I mean it's Microsoft's biggest market-icon and they **** it up.

I can wait, but daaaaammnn... *slaps forhead*

 

[rollingstart]

My god. You seriously are just a bunch of pussies aren't you. NEOGAF your sense of humour fails me.

praise be for sp0rsk

now back to waiting for that Halo 3 beta...still nothing

 

[EMBee99]

Future MS email:

"To alleviate the anger you feel from the delay of the Halo 3 beta, why not spend some time in CRACKDOWN harpooning gang members or racing around the city? Only 800 points, available now."

 

[Imperial Hot]

We need a status update from Microsoft, Bungie, or someone that knows what is going on, because this is going to shit really fast.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Don't say I ain't never did nothin' for ya.

*bows down*

 

[JB1981]

I can't believe I woke up early for this shit.

 

[Jel0man]

From Frankie over at Bungie:

Folks are reporting problems downloading the Halo 3 Beta via Crackdown this morning. We have alerted the appropriate Live authorities and they are taking care of the problem as we speak. More news as it comes in.

With any luck this will be a short delay. People enetering the Beta through other methods -Friends and Family, Rule of Three and so on, are unaffected.

[MrDaravon]

I honestly feel bad for everyone who called in/took today off. I did, but I had the next 4 days off anyway so it's not as big a deal for me, but if I only took today off I'd be pretty pissed. Even if it went up right now I doubt you'd be playing it before early afternoon anyway.

 

[JavaMava]

*stumbles into topic*

SO there's a problem with the crackdown people getting in? That's bull. Is there any official word? It seems odd that it would work for the rule of 3 (me) and the others, but not the crackdown people.

EDIT - nm I just saw some post answer the question. That sucks I feel for you guys, I really do.

That was from over an hour ago. I want an update on the situation. I hate when we get left in the dark like this.

What kind of shipping did you have on that thing? I did the cheap option from Play-Asia. Should I get my hopes up?

 

[raYne]

And just to rub salt in the wound, they just aired a H3 feature on NY1 with footage from the NY event. Stinkles was on TV for all of 3 seconds. :lol

Rule of Three, etc. is good to go.

Crackdowner's have been BOHICA'd.

 

[Captain N]

what are the chances it'll just end up on the marketplace?

 

[thatbox]

Correct. Option is still greyed out. Rule of Three people have been playing since 2AM CST.
