Frankie over at the Bungie forums has posted a response to the 30 min delay. To get some of you caught up users trying to download it via Crackdown still have the beta option grayed out. Frankie responded with the following message:
Crackdown Delay: We Know!

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.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
This is really bad for the people who bought the Crackdown just because of the BETA access for Halo3.
Edit: (eques judicii below)
Yes, you are right, of course it hurts everyone at least a bit :)
I bought Crackdown mainly because of the beta access, but the game itself was a really nice surprise. I did not like the demo when it came, but have to admit I really like Crackdown now... buut I want Halo3 beta NOW :)
Yeah, I'm still waiting, myself....but I have to get going anyway so hopefully it will be ready when I get back tommorrow.
fock stupid delay, I lost one night of sleep for nothing
its 8:20 by me and is still have it grayed out
For the lost time,starring at this fricken Crackdown screen,those who bought the game,and aren't able to play should be compensated more extra hours on the Beta before it ends!who is with me on this!!it's only fair,cause there are people who are playing and were not!!
