Epic fail, Microsoft.

Sorry, but it's true.

You got us all to buy your stupid ****ing game for this beta and you couldn't even deliver it without a hitch.

 

[thatbox]

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

its a 1GB dl

AND NO
THEY KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY CRACKDOWN DISCS HAVE BEEN SOLD
THEY PICKED THE DATE AND TIME
PRECAUTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN
THIS IS JUST A ****UP

 

[Dai Kaiju]

So I was anxsiouly bashing A and B and all of the sudden the music stops. So my heart beat stops. I look at the screen. I see a download blade thing.


Turns out I accidentally opened the Crackdown Marketplace. ****

[besada]

I sense this thread moving in a "Lord of the Flies" direction.

Who's got the conch shell?

 

[Imperial Hot]

Stinkles is conspicuously absent since that one post

He and other Bungie employees already have begun there escape from the country.

They are on the run.

 

[Chris B]

So I am on the beta, but when I click 'Play' I instantly get a 'GAME OVER' screen?

What...

 

[Deadly Monk]

It's a Beta, so no.

 

[Dirtbag]

Go to Bungie.net. There is a thread about this.

 

[dejay]

I blame Sony's ninja hackers. BASTAAAAAARDS!!!

 

[Deacan]

Why do I get the feeling that once we get the beta, the matchmaking server will be offline.

Check Bungies site, I think you have to clear the cache or something. Vaguely remember reading about it

[TSAR]

can someone in the seattle area walk over to bungie, knock on the door, and ask what in the hell is going on?

 

[Eric WK]

I DID A LINE OF COKE, A CAN OF RED BULL, AND TWO CIGARETTES TO PUMP MYSELF UP FOR THE BETA AND NOW MY HEART SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DYING. AS IF THAT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, IT SEEMS MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK. THANKS ALOT MICROSOFT.

My vote for thread MVP.

 

[Y2Kev]

Barely even loading. GOOD.

 

[Chris B]

Yeah it is quite amusing, as it tells me to go and try Shadowrun...

"GAME OVER

The Halo 3 Public Beta is either currently unavailable, or has expired. Look out for the official release of halo 3 this fall! If you want to shoot stuff and blast your buddies right now why not try Shadowrun for Xbox 360 and Vista, find out more at Shadowrun.com."

 

[Imperial Hot]

thread needs more human sacrifice

Fixed.

 

[GeoNeo]

Can't wait to hear the damage control on Major Nelson's podcast this sunday with his buddy "E"

I bet they shift the blame onto Crackdown and its developers. :lol

MS - "H3 Beta delay? Not our problem"

My vote for thread MVP.

I WILL DESTROY THIS THREAD WITH MY ANGER
