Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta: Crackdown Issue Update: Fixed, Beta Extended 4d
Posted by XanTium | May 16 20:02 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
The original news is below, but bungie just updated their website that the fix has now been released - you can finally download the Halo3 beta via Crackdown and the beta period has been extended as 'compensation' for the delay:
[QUOTE]
It's been a long day for a lot of people but we're happy to announce that effective immediately, a title update for Crackdown is available on Xbox Live that will fix the issue that previously prevented you from downloading the beta. The Microsoft team just deployed this fix and when you launch Crackdown you should receive a prompt to download the update.

Please note that it could take up to four hours for your console to receive this update based on various factors. However, the good news is that we're in the clear and Halo 3 gameplay is just over the horizon.

We realize this has been a pain for many and an inconvenience at the very least. Given the circumstances, we've decided to extend the duration of the Halo 3 Beta from June 6th to June 10th at 11:59 PM PDT. So, you lost almost a full day of play today but to make up for it we're tacking on four more days (and a weekend at that).

We apologize for the delay and hardships this issue has caused and hope that it quickly becomes a distant memory clouded by good times playing Halo 3 with your friends.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. We'll see you online!

Note : A rare bug has been discovered that sometimes results in improper text display in the game UI. Basically, you won't see any text at all. If you encounter this issue, you can fix it yourself by doing the following:
1. Restart your Xbox 360
2. Boot up the Halo 3 Beta
3. While the Halo 3 Beta is loading, immediately press up on the D-Pad and hold the A button until you see the Bungie logo. If you perform this correctly a dialog box will appear confirming maintenance has been done to your system.
4. Resume the Halo 3 Beta!

Original news
From bungie.net:
[QUOTE]
We're happy to finally announce that the issues being faced with the Halo 3 beta and Crackdown will be resolved shortly. The Microsoft team has found a solution and it's undergoing final testing now.
Assuming the test pass goes according to plan, the fix will come in the form of a Crackdown title update within the next three to six hours.

We understand many of you were eagerly awaiting your chance to jump into the Halo 3 Beta and this technical issue has put a damper on your plans. Thankfully the fix is incoming and we're sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Ultimately we hope this will all soon be a distant memory once you pick up the Spartan Laser, launch yourself from a Mancannon and enjoy online shenanigans with your friends.

As a reminder, people who already have the Halo 3 Beta are unaffected by this issue. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have more information.

by 16 hours give or take? seems pointless really... they should just have the beta last till the games actual launch... makes no sense to cut it short at all...

Yeah but beta means beta, strictly for testing.

The next problem is going to be too many people trying to download it. Its gonna be like when the Video Marketplace came out, and stuff took overnight to download.

Im dissapointed in bungie/etc for screwing this up though. Didnt seem like it would be that hard to put up a dl link and get it running.

And this delay has got to suck for those people who called in sick from work/skipped school/planned their leave from military, etc..

I can't believe they kept the name “mancannon”, and shenanigans isn't that a restaurant? tongue.gif

At least it will be fixed soon.
