It seems there’s some major issues going on over at Microsoft and Bungie. Apparently, the servers won’t unlock the demo for those with Crackdown, so the majority of the beta users can’t download the file.
Yeah, I know, I posted three Halo 3 posts in a row, but it’s a big day in the Halo world, and there’s a lot of angry users out there right now.
Bungie is aware of the issue, and Frankie issued a statement:
With any luck this will be a short delay. People enetering the Beta through other methods – Friends and Family, Rule of Three and so on, are unaffected.
There’s some threads on the official Bungie forums stating that Xbox Support is telling users it will be a full 24 hours before the Halo 3 Beta will be available using Crackdown.
That’s some bravo sierra right there. You’d think that both Microsoft and Bungie would be ready for this?
Hmm… Let me get this straight.
Bungie was making us wait forever to download the beta. Then instead of just you know, going out and trying to download to make sure it works, they just shrug it off and assume it will work.
Heh ill wait
Yeah, you would think they would test something like this… but no
