Halo 3 Beta delayed until tomorrow?

Bungie has stated that they have informed the guys at Xbox live and the problem should be rectified shortly, but hexus.net has heard different. A source close to Bungie tells them they've had huge problems with the server that unlocks the client to those who have a copy of Crackdown and that it will be some time before the problem is rectified; it's been suggested that the client download may not be available until tomorrow.

Sounds to me like BUNGIE needs to hire some Beta testers for it's Beta. I guess that would make them..... (are you ready?) BETA BETA TESTERS!!! If the government has test labs to practice rolling out updates (and they do... I have the lovely job of maintaining some of them) then there is no excuse for a company with M$ backing to drop the ball on such a over-hyped piece of software.

Don't announce a release for a beta and then go back on your word. it gets people realll plssed off.

So problems like this don't occur when the full game is released in September.

Firewire6228d ago

Um, u didn't even get into the beta,
so this has nothing to do with the beta!
MS & Bungie never bothered to check
the login through Crackdown.
MS took your money & didn't bother to make sure
the crap works! People are really pissed about this.
Another black eye for MS!
And wait how this will be all over the news tomorrow,
But you'll hear Moore talk about customer Service!

that's a worthless comment, and YOU'RE WORTHLESS on this topic. go be a dipsh!t somewhere else.

Mr Murda6228d ago

This is a British website, so it may well go into to the early morning hours in Britian.

gta_cb6228d ago

well i spose it gives me a couple extra hours to get those achievements i havnt got yet =P

yeh i am a little bit annouyed but these things happen so complaining wont actually change anything =( otherwise i would be not stop =D

Tommie6228d ago

I don't care wether it'll come today or tommorw. It will be out eventually so I'll download it when it's on Live. I don't have time to play now anyway. And when it's just on Live all those fanboys who are waiting all day for the damn Beta will download it so it'll take forever to complete anyways.

Me wait :)

closedxxx6228d ago

The above statement is true BUT, with such a stingy 3 week beta window, every day counts. I won't hold this against them if they extend the beta testing period to a later date, but I won't hold my breath.

gta_cb6228d ago

would be nice but like you said, i wouldnt hold my breath =(

Underlined6228d ago

Now I'm pissed. My mate got a code, and he's been playing it all day.. -_-

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii146d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies146d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer183d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog183d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned183d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c183d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb183d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies183d ago (Edited 183d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal183d ago (Edited 183d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72183d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman183d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows182d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72194d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai194d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ194d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil194d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
