Hey all
Lets get a party together tonight in the Halo 3 beta -
MSG Gamer Andy on XBL
5pm PST 8pm EST tonight
Be there or be Hawkes

I’ll come if MS and Bungie get their #### sorted out and the download finishes… so prolly this weekend....

Yea, a whole day wasted waiting for this dam thing. I’ll be down to play whenever they decide to release it.

Um, so, yeah apparently if you have Crackdown you’re screwed as far as downloading the beta goes.

Nice.

I’d play, but:

A) My Crackdown disc isn’t back yet.

B) Even if.. well we all know what’s going on there..

Have fun tonight!

FYI from the Xbox.com Forums:

“Halo 3 / Crackdown : UPDATE!

UPDATE : 5/16/07 3:55 PM

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.”

So, looks like I may get to play tomorrow.

FYI:
Chances are the GW(ns)F tonight will go pretty late - this is Halo 3 after all, and we can have either 8 or 12 people in one party (depending on if they’ve put in BTB playlist yet)

Sucks to be those trying to get into the beta. 

In the meantime I could really use some help on Halo 2 in Team Slayer (I am REALLY tired of dying), trying to go solo with the people who still play it is quite frustrating.

Anyone up for a party match or several, hit me up with a message on xbl, gamertag is the same as my username.

Also, I am not trying to hijack the thread.

Well I have downloaded the beta, and it seems to be working fine, exept that after each game I get stuck at the loading from xbox live.  I don’t know if it is my connection, my box, or the game its self.  Can anyone else tell me if this is happing with the crackdown version.

Hmm I dont have that problem but I do get a problem were Voices in a game start breakeing up.It might be my connection because my bb provider are putting new wires down and ve been disconnecting alot lately.And I would have enjoyed doing that halo3 thing but thats fairly late in ireland.
