UPDATE : 5/16/07Â 3:55 p.m.
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.

If it works, it should be up for Crackdown owners within an hour and a half or so.

[Konamix02]

Holy jeez that's alot of messages.

I'M DOWNLOADING IT NOW!

 

[thomaspajamas]

Yeah, it looks like its officially out now. Tell us what you think

 

[Konamix02]

Well it's really slow downloading. Normally I can download a gig in under an hour but it's taking forever to download. It took 30mins to get to 7% and I'm on a 3mbps connection

 

[Parsaw]

I'm in matchmaking right now. 8-) It's taking forever. It isn't like I expected anything less, though. It was like this when Halo 2 came out, as well.

 

[thomaspajamas]

[Konamix02]

It isn't called a drive-by machine for nothin'. 8)

Oh wait, they never called it that...

 

[Konamix02]

I thought that the warthog was called the driveby machine. Oh well the game is still fun.
