[Tieno]

This is obviously an issue with the crackdown menu...i mean, the beta is right there on the server.
I feel for you guys.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

TIP THE THREAD!
HEAVE!
HO!
HEAVE!
HO

HHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYAAAAAAIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*BOOSH!*

 

[Falagard]

srsly though dude you are like ten pages behind

I've been reading...but 10 pages = 5 mins.

 

[thatbox]

Maybe they've queued up the fix for the start of the hour, only 5 minutes, believe and it will happen!

Believe am dead

 

[sableholic]

I wanted to get this dl started before i left for work damn

 

[Dai Kaiju]

wow.

God dammit, his wife didn't REALLY get cancer. Therefore it's appropriate to wish a HORRIBLE DEATH UPON HER.

 

[sevenchaos]

This is crap, and pissing off the most loyal of fans...

I feel hosed!

1 hour late now

Shit. I can't believe it's been an hour already.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

i'm down

Cool, GT: Kater SoG

C'mon peeps, Aegis Wing! It's like Halo 3 beta, but playable!

 

[Frenck]

The Beta still must pass certification in the XBLA department, be patient.

 

[gloone]

I shaved my balls for this?

 

[jmdajr]

People actually stayed home from work for this :lol :lol :lol

BUNGIE should pay everyone that skipped work. They stayed home for nada.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Shit. I can't believe it's been an hour already.

FOR EVERY HOUR A WEEK. NEVER FORGET.

 

[Hyrup66]

I have a really bad feeling that this has nothing to do with servers. I think that somebody ****** up the coding in Crackdown.

 

[Shake Appeal]

The Beta still must pass certification in the XBLA department, be patient.

beta passed certification last week when hundreds of people got to download it easily and efficiently

 

[Orlics]

Yep, we are not F&F, we are not the winners of some random contest. We are costumers and thus we deserve to be raped. I dont think I will forget this one MS... I can only take so much.

Hey, Rule of Three wasn't random!

Spoiler

it was a test to see who would have the balls to leave their 360 on in a two-player closed custom game of Halo 2 for 3 hours with the thumbstick pressed forward, like me

 

[Cipher]

Sing to the tune of Michael Jackson's Beat It (chorus):

Beta, beta
Beta, beta
I just really wanna play ya
Don't want it tomorrow,
Don't want it next week
It don't matter
If they call me a freak
Just beta, beta, beta, beta, beta, beta
Oooooh

:lol

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Okay guys this isn't getting us anywhere.

Now, am I a mineral?

 

[Sean]

This is obviously an issue with the crackdown menu...i mean, the beta is right there on the server.
I feel for you guys.

There are probably 2 different versions of the beta... since one requires the Crackdown disk and the other doesn't.

 

[dejay]

I shaved my balls for this?

All that itchy regrowth for nothing, huh?

 

[got2bekidding]

I have a really bad feeling that this has nothing to do with servers. I think that somebody ****** up the coding in Crackdown.

Never trust something with "crack" in the title.....

 

[thatbox]

you know TSAR I have been having this exact same technical issue! any ideas GAF? it surely is a nuisance and no mistake.

:lol

 

[Imperial Hot]

I bet you I know what happened. The updates for Crackdown broke the beta download.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

STAB STAB STAB

 

[Beaulieu]

I shaved my balls for this?

wtf hahaha

 

[Frenck]

That has nothing to do with it. These people need jobs, what else should they do if they have nothing to certificate?

 

[Zalasta]

The only thing I'm curious is whether they actually tested this method of content delivery prior to today. I didn't expect a smooth process at all, so anyone that did is being naive.

 

[SonnyBoy]

I wanted to get this dl started before i left for work damn

Same here! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait in line later today. =( According to Bungie.net the issue is with XBL.

 

[Dirtbag]

I bet you I know what happened. The updates for Crackdown broke the beta download.

i agree!

And Crackdown sucked, there i said it

 

[TSAR]

i can't believe i got up early for this

 

[Shake Appeal]

I bet you I know what happened. The updates for Crackdown broke the beta download.

someone inform the bnet forums so they can redirect their fury at Real Time Worlds

 

[Aegus]

I say we all go have a pre-beta wank. Yes even the guys at work.

 

[RumFore]

This is ****ing great. I was hoping the damn demo would have been already released so many of the West Coast would have it already and maybe there wouldnt be a traffic jam when Easter coasters tried to get it being that many on the West Coast would still be asleep. Now there will be a cluster ****, monster trafic jam with everyone trying to get it at the same time. Isn't that some bitches?

 

[Hammer24]

... and as soon as the beta is up, there will be another 25+ pages of:
"DAMN, WHY IS THIS DOWNLOAD SO ****ING SLOW?!?!?"
:lol

 

[Nino]

i agree!

And Crackdown sucked, there i said it

Liar.

 

[Falagard]

i agree!

And Crackdown sucked, there i said it

Heresy. Crackdown was amazing.

 

[chinmonster]

I say we all go have a pre-beta wank. Yes even the guys at work.

:lol

Spoiler

Thought about it.

 

[jmdajr]

they should extend the beta a week for screwing everybody

 

[regs]

I bet you I know what happened. The updates for Crackdown broke the beta download.

I was thinking the same thing,

 

[thatbox]

whats a crackdown

 

[jordan0386]

I think they are just taking precautions before LIVE! crashes on their ass, with all these people about to use up the bandwidth

Im sure its a 1.5GB download or so...I dunno

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

they should extend the beta a week for screwing everybody

EVERY HOUR A WEEK. I SAID THAT LIKE EIGHTY TIMES.

 

[Imperial Hot]

That fix at the top of the hour theory is WRONG!

 

[Deadly Monk]

Heresy. Crackdown was amazing.

So was Viva Pinata.



Beta, please?

 

[GeoNeo]

I'm getting worried that it's going to take a long long long time to download the beta.

Shit is hitting the fan.

 

[Xdrive05]

Heresy. Crackdown was amazing.

Tru7h

 

[Thermite]

... and as soon as the beta is up, there will be another 25+ pages of:
"DAMN, WHY IS THIS DOWNLOAD SO ****ING SLOW?!?!?"
:lol

go 20,000!

 

[Dirtbag]

Heresy. Crackdown was amazing.

I'm lashing out! Its like the 2nd step to acceptance.. ANGER

 

[got2bekidding]

whats a crackdown

Apparently a major **** up

 

[Marjorine]

Favorite post ever.
