Make him stop. Make him stop. Make him stop. Make him stop.

 

[giga]

why does my timer show this? i tried refreshing :S bungie error?

 

[disappeared]

Yeah man, I noticed that when I booted up Crackdown as well. I've only had a 360 for two weeks now, so I don't know if that is normal or not.

Oh, it's perfectly normal.

 

[Speevy]

Halo 2 HD hurr hurr

YOU did this.

 

[Xdrive05]

Sweet, downloading now. Can't wait to play this.

From Crackdown?

 

[superbank]

The timer on Bungie.net is now counting down to 11:00 CST.

The teases.

EDIT: 7000! (!)

It says for me "The Halo 3 beta has started! See our FAQ and Beta forum for all the latest information."

Edit: It hasnt started, you assholes. Hurry up please.

** Do not respond to this email **

Welcome to the Bungie Friends & Family Halo 3 Beta!

In order to play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta, you will need an Xbox 360 with a hard drive and an Xbox LIVE Gold account.

Your beta download code is:

This code will allow you to download the Halo 3 Beta to one Xbox 360 console, one time.

Instructions for installing and launching the beta are below:




Turn on your Xbox 360 and sign-in with your Xbox LIVE Gold account

Select “Marketplace” from the Xbox LIVE dashboard

Select the “Redeem Code” option

Enter a beta download code

Once the download completes, navigate to the “Games” blade of the dashboard

Select “Demos and More”

Select and launch the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta!



The initial download may take some time depending on network traffic and your own internet connection. Please be patient.

Please note that the Halo 3 beta only supports Matchmaking play over Xbox Live. You will not be able to play any custom games or play in offline/system link matches. You can, however, play with a friend in split-screen games in the Social playlists.

For more information about the Beta and answers to commonly asked questions, please visit www.bungie.net.


Thank you and have fun playing the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta!

Received this in my email.

Maybe Bungie is frantically trying to fix this problem and when they miss a deadline they just reset the timer.

 

[Xdrive05]

why does my timer show this? i tried refreshing :S bungie error?

Mine still says it's started already.

 

[jordan0386]

Im watching this guy play, and im enjoying it

 

[Thermite]

so Microsoft is going to extend the time of the beta now right?

Spoiler

RIGHT?!?!

 

[GhaleonEB]

why does my timer show this? i tried refreshing :S bungie error?

For me it says,

The Halo 3 beta has started! See our FAQ and Beta forum for all the latest information.

STILL not up for Crackdown owners? WTF?

 

[Laika]

Make him stop. Make him stop. Make him stop. Make him stop.

seriously, I can't take any more teasing

I said all along I gauaranteed Microsoft would **** up somehow. Nowbody believed me...

 

[Nabs]

the webcam is great

 

[Speevy]

Copies of Crackdown burned like disco records today, more at 6.

 

[SteveO409]

the webcam is great

Don't bother going into the chat. It's like spam heaven

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Wow you can actually get kills with the assault rifle...WTF?

I swear it's like wackyland.

Oh man he's going through all of his saved videos.

 

[Nabs]

Don't bother going into the chat. It's like spam heaven

yeah i opened it up and it was moving way too fast

 

[giga]

We're gonna overtake the official Resistance thread soon. cheers!

 

[epmode]

the webcam is great

Agreed.

 

[fivehorizons]

Woah r u from the future? That watch either looks like a cheap piece of plastic or the most awesome thing to grace the eyes of baby babie.

Its not me I just rehash shit i find on the internet

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Well at least harpooning dudes in Crackdown relieves the stress.

Also, I'm reminded of the $100 Xbox 360 Cores on Amazon incident. That shit was the worst.

 

[pizzapizza64]

I'm working on a syllabus/other material for a class I'm teaching...but I'm at home. I want to play the beta!

Will someone make a new thread when the beta is live for Crackdown owners?

 

[Rorschach]

We're gonna overtake the official Resistance thread soon. cheers!

Nothing to be proud of. Most of it is bitching about graphics, the beta not being available, and F&F getting it early. Very little actual beta impressions/discussion

 

[superbank]

Man, I hate using the 360. I'm so afraid its just gonna break if I leave it on for too long. That is not what I should be worrying about when I play games MS. My drive sounds louder than it was before, why is that?

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

So, Ghaleon... is it OK to be "disappointed" in the way this has been handled yet?

Oh, you're not there, are you, you're probably playing right now!

 

[Xdrive05]

So. Still no official word on what happened and what they are going to do to fix it?

Have the flood overtaken Bungie Studios or something?

 

[Laika]

There is a slight chance everyone here will be talking about it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I said all along I gauaranteed Microsoft would **** up somehow. Nowbody believed me...

I thought they'd **** up the download with inadequate server capacity - but not having it available at ALL? Wow.

Bungie's gotta be irked as hell as well.

 

[Mighty]

Ahhh yeah, I couldn't get Amazon to refresh until 6 minutes after the contest started, but I'm sure all of the 360s were gone within a second anyway.

 

[Rorschach]

Crackdown always sounds like that on the initial menu screen for me. If that's what you have in there, then that's why.

 

[raYne]

Received this in my email.

WTF I'm your friend. Send me one damnit! :lol

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I keep checking my email but nope no beta. Though I did get a message telling me that "Well lol you're definitely NOT in the Beta haha suck it loser!"

I'd play Aegis Wing or even Etrian Odyssey but I'm babysitting my younger brother who has a high fever .

 

[giga]

Spank me if its already been posted but: http://highload.majornelson.com/

 

[jet1911]

Still nothing after 4 hours? Booooooooo.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

As if anyone gives a shit about how Bungie feels about this.

Bungie forums are highly entertaining. Great way to pass the time. Check this post out:

Crackdown- i payed 60 bucks for this 30 dollar game it wasnt real great and it barely had a story to go around but i figure im an avid halo goer ill deal with it...nope nothing i put it in the tray this morning open it up and halo 3 beta is gray...i have manic depression ("manic" is assumed but depression is diagnosed")bungie and if you treat my like a dick i might just kill myself there was nothing else in my favor before this except knowing i can play the beta and now i get cut off thanks alot.

[remorseless]

if the beta thread is over 7000 then how many posts will be in the offical thread? 20,000:lol

 

[Thermite]

I keep checking my email but nope no beta. Though I did get a message telling me that "Well lol you're definitely NOT in the Beta haha suck it loser!"

I got my email with a code but since I gave it away a few days ago I already PM'd it to him.

 

[Ryuuga]

So, Ghaleon... is it OK to be "disappointed" in the way this has been handled yet?

Oh, you're not there, are you, you're probably playing right now!

:lol

 

[KachoMakura]

I can't freakin believe they haven't even acknowledged the issue or released a statement, I mean it's been 3 hours. That shows a complete lack of respect for your hardcore fanbase. The people who spent $60 just to play the beta and waited up all night for this sh*t. WTF?

 

[AgentOtaku]

dude on webcam moves like he's playing with a mouse....that some high sensitivity right there....or its just lag?
