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."

There's a button combo to fix that. Frankie posted it a few gazillion posts ago.

Just get a wireless controller and keep the door open with a nice view to that HDTV. Remember to mute your mic when you are flushing the toilet.

Quick fix for failure to load Beta:


Go to the dashboard.
Go to the system tab
Select memory
Highlight your hard drive
Press Y
Press X, X, LB, RB, X, X
Say yes when prompted to do maintenance on your hard drive.

This removes all previous title updates and prompts you to redownload new ones.


It will be fixed automatically in an hour, but that's a shortcut. PEACE.

Could you direct me in the right....direction?

Instead, do the following.
First, restart your Xbox 360.
Second, boot up the Halo 3 beta.
Third, while in the Halo 3 boot up sequence press up on the D-pad and hold the A button until you see the Bungie logo. If you've completed this correctly there will be a dialog box confirming maintenance has been done on your system.
Four, resume bathing in the Halo 3 Public Beta
 
I bet Real Time Worlds are huddled around a computer monitor cackling at the Internet furore

"BOUGHT CRACKDOWN JUST FOR BETA? HOW DO YOU LIKE IT NOW?"

Thanks for your help chaps, but it appears to have fixed itself while I have been sat here posting. Off to play some matchmaking now, good luck to everyone else. :)
 
Didn't work for me a second ago.

Backing out, re-entering Crackdown, trying again.

If failed, you should terminate your account.
 
I've remained silent for about 50 pages.

This **** is raw. Bungie is in its Doomsday.

nah i just want to play Halo 3 and feel stupid about now for staying up for this.

I'm going on sleep depravation mode until further Halo 3 Beta announcements
 
Srsly ban his turd face. I have to switch between PC and Xbox for the internet, and reset my modem each time, so I can't tolerate false alarms.

It's been a long established rule at GAF that posting knowingly false info in any time of anticipatory megaton news/release thread is insta-ban.

Holy shit I can't even get bungie.net to load :lol
