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.

I was hoping they never got it fixed. dang!

Just kidding

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.

Vfor56939d ago

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

reaperxciv6939d ago

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

Firewire6939d 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 Murda6939d ago

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

gta_cb6939d 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

Tommie6939d 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 :)

closedxxx6939d 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_cb6939d ago

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

Underlined6939d ago

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

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_195d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto195d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay194d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730194d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty195d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602195d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty195d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981195d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts195d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno195d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE195d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai195d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex195d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover195d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator195d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia195d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

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

Kaii857d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies856d ago

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