For those of us who missed the past 1k posts... any word from ms or bungie since the "We are away of the problem crap"?

Too true. The media and "Gaf insiders" can play. As far as Bungie is concerned, it's just the peasants left.

:lol

Segarr, you've made this thread really enjoyable, I'm not kidding either. Hopefully I see you on H3 some time with the rest of the peasants. :lol
 
*EDIT UPDATE - 4:07 p.m. EST - A few items have been popping up online stating Xbox Live support is now saying the process will take up the entire 24 hours as stated before. If true, this would mean the beta won’t be available for play through Crackdown until 5 a.m. EST on Thursday, May 17, at the earliest. We will update as we find more information on the matter.

You've goooootta be shitting me.
 
What boggles the mind is how this could not have been thoroughly tested... I mean this is Microsoft - they have test labs out the wazoo...

Duke Nukem Forever has been delayed for 10 years...the beta for a couple of hours.

But noone really wants to play Duke Nukem Forever. There's the difference.

EDIT: LET THE MARCH TO 10,000 COMMENCE! Hell or high water, boys!
 
You people are terrible :lol You'll be playing the beta soon. Christ, I wish I was as lucky as you guys. I won't be able to play Halo 3 until September :(.

I love when threads go the "horrible analogies" face off route. This thread is complete! :lol
Click to expand...

Even better analogy: It's like if I ate a sandwich without mustard, after having asked for mustard. Then in turn eating some mustard straight out of a jar from Peter Moore's refrigerator. Know what I'm saying?
 
It's almost OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND !@#!$

This thread is just making me laugh my ass off, literally.

Yeah, I just used the word 'literally' wrong. What are you going to do about it, shoot me with your Spartan laser that you can't get through Crackdown?

Shell out 60 bucks and you can be just as lucky as the rest of the peasants. :lol

jesus christ i cannot believe i still pay for gold. msft has ****ed up way too many times when it comes to anything downloadable.

and yet i just keep on paying to be abused...
Click to expand...

well be prepared to fly into a rage again, since when the option to download the beta is active, your download will go so slooooooowly!

be prepared....1% 30' after 2%.... and so on until tomorrow...and then think we are still paying 60 bucks for a gold subscription....nice!
 
This sucks, I just took a nap for a few hours and it's still not up. Even worse it's raining like crazy now and thundering so my power has a good chance of going out :(

As far as we know, we won't either, only we paid sixty dollars for the privilege.

Ugh, that's some kicker there. Still nice to see some update.
 
I am confused. I recieved a beta invite back in January, but have not recieved any emails recently... should have I recieved something from Bungie?
 
Hey, wouldn't it be awesome if MS put together a fix for the Crackdown users like me and sold it on Marketplace for 400 points? That would make my day!

Haven't seen a source so I assume it's the same rumor as hours ago when people were listening to Xbox Live support techs who just want you to hang up.
 
I'm predicting that crackdown will need to be updated. That will mean the update will need to go through certification. 2-3 days is my prediction.
 
Wow. About 1500 posts since I got a beta code in my GAF PM box until now.

If it weren't for the kindness of someone on this board I'd be with you all. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Common Sense would tell me that, as soon as the problem is resolved, they would tell us and the download would then work...Not "It's going to work at 5 o clock..." while everyone at MS scrambles trying to get it working by then...

haha except it wouldn't be extended for us bitches ($60) only for the suck-ups and hackers.
Click to expand...

it woud still be extended. jesus you guys and your complaining.

and GT's source is xbox live support? please dont tell me thats from the 800 number :P
 
This really sucks, I was looking forward to playing with my crew today...however, some of you are acting really immature on the subject, I understand the dissapointment, but geez :P
 
stupid question:

If I was to go out and buy crackdown today, could I get into the beta still? (assuming they sort this shit out) or is it too late? All this anger has interested me. Must be some hot shit.

(I've never played HALO) :lol

Common sense tells me Microsoft should have had their shit together since they announced the exact time of the start six weeks ago. And it's Halo ****ing 3.

Common sense has no use here!

The same rumor went around like six hours ago. Until I see a source it's the same one.
