Halo3 BETA, delayed!

Hillsdale · #1 (**permalink**) 05-16-2007, 03:21 PM

Ive been following this all day (I stayed home to download/ Play the BETA) and i guess the guys at Bungie dont know how to do their jobs. This morning all the countdowns hit 0, but no BETA. Here are some links to whats going on..

Bungie's Website
Bungie Forums (Complaints everywhere
Major Nelsons Blog
Halo3.com (Click "Halo 3 Beta is Ready to Drop" at the bottom of the page)

And apperently, 1-800-4-my-xbox has been shut down for a short while because of the Number of calls they are getting about the BETA not working.

As for news, ive heard everything.. "1pm today", "5pm today", "10pm tonight", "Tommorow".. everything..

I guess time will tell.

p.s. 18004MYXBOX said within the next 24 hours, so im hoping before i go to bed tonight, ill have it downloaded/ downloading.

ouch, that sucks...I know a lot of people here were looking forward to playing the beta (and the video we posted a while back kicked ass)

That sucks, even more seeing as they paid $60 for it.
I don't really get why it would take that long D:

Im under the impression that this was planned. MS knew they couldn't handle all the server requests for the beta so they are probably enabling it via some IP identification by region. Just a guess.

Good news. only 3 to 6 hours until the BETA is released (If testing goes to plan)

I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon to get it if they make it available tonight their server's are going to melt.
