The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Bungie has JACK SHIT to do with this. Their beta is up and running just fine. MICROSOFT'S game can't interface with MICROSOFT'S Live service correctly. Bungie did their job - the Beta's ready. MS didn't have their shit together.

I don't care whether it's Bungies fault or Microsoft's, it sucks that we are not getting any kind of progress updates about this. That is the very least they could do.

also:

If I may interrupt the whining with some halo 3 stuff..


Has anyone encountered a problem with saved films were it will randomly show a round from someone else's perspective, and be really choppy?

I was watching a high ground territories vid, rounds 1 3 and 4 were fine and showed what I did, but round 2 showed someone else's (shitty) play, and it was mega choppy

Don't tell us! Tell Bungie!
 
At least all this bitching allows us to up our post counts in a transparent, yet non-bannable manner. Bravo!

Can someone please phone me when the beta's ready?

this is why i think that they still don't know whats wrong. if its network problems which i doubt it will be hard to find.

seriously just put it up on marketplace and put a some code in, to check to see if crackdown is in the played games of the said player, if it is let them download the halo 3 beta.

this way isn't working but they could have created another way for crackdown owners to get the beta it been over 8 hours
 
I think Jose Reyes is the NL MVP this year. Once in a lifetime ball player. ROSP over .800 easy for a second straight year. JOSE JOSE JOSE!!!

Is the beta up?
 
conspiracy theory time: what can actually go wrong with a download link in a game? doesn't seem so very complicated. actually bungie want to control the stress on their matchmaking servers or whatever, and have gone with a multi-stage ramp-up that leaves crackdumbs temporarily in the cold. i don't believe this theory as such...but...you know...got to keep the hatecock turgid.

My theory, there is no Beta included in Crackdown. It was all a ruse to get more Crackdown sales. In a few hours MS will be issuing a PR stating that in order to get the Beta into the hands of Halo fans faster, the Beta will be made available to all XBL Gold members on the marketplace. M$ indeed.

We burn Washington to the ground. That way we're sure we get the culprits.

and if we happen to get nintendo too...well...arson isn't an exact science, casualties of war, all for the greater good, etc.
 
It's been TEN FREAKIN' HOURS. Bungie and MS still have nothing to say for themselves. This is gonna get crazy if we get no word until late tonight.
