No Halo 3 Beta for "Crackdown" buyers?

By: karlw on May 16, 2007 [<<][>>] [back to archive index]

If you got suckered into buying Crackdown in order to get an invitation code for the Halo 3 beta (myself included) you may just want to hold off on breaking the wrapper while they sort out the bugs.
Major Nelson issued the following statement on his overloaded blog....




"We're aware that some users are having difficulty downloading the Halo 3 multiplayer beta via Crackdown. Bungie Studios is working with the Xbox Live team to resolve this as quickly as possible - stay tuned. Gamers entering the beta through other means, such as the Friends and Family remain unaffected.

I am headed back to Seattle in a few hours, so I’ll be offline while I am in the air. For the most up to date information, keep an eye on Bungie.net for the latest from Frankie regarding this issue.

This site is experiencing an excessive traffic amount of traffic at this time, so sorry for the temporary nature of this message. We’re working on getting back online as soon as we can."

chronic cramps says: do you guys realize that Crackdown is going down in history as the game no one wanted but everyone had to buy. They're gonna sell for $2 used as soon as the Beta test period ends.

ArabRabbi says: Woah- this means you're (back) in the 360-owning fold. And yeah- apparently they have hit a snag or two in deploying the beta. Seeing a couple of screenshots from Bungie, though... well, it looks like Halo on the 360. But again- I've not played it yet. Can't pass ultimate judgment. Yet.

cronic cramps says: not yet a proud father of a 360, i wanted to make sure a copy of crackdown was available first. That's done. So when ppl are able to download the beta, ill head down to costco and pick up my 3 month rental...
