Halo 3 Beta Downloads via Crackdown are fixed!

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!

Very slow downloadspeed
Didnt expect anything else..

Also msg came up "Download not avail. right now". Had to resume.. well well

I guess MS should have implemented bittorrent style file sharing w/ xbox360 instead of client/server.  I would seed...

I would too if it meant people would stop complaining...I have a 1Mb/s upload pipe that would serve useful in that situation.

if you're still having troubles try clearing your hard drive cache.

How good is very good?  I have a 6/1 internet connection, and I downloaded it in 10 minutes.  I don't think its your connection at fault, its the fact that when thousands of people download a file from a server simultaneously, there will be slow downloads.

Ooo my, another wait. lol... hopefully this is all worth it...

[xzenor]

Its downloading just fine, although I think I jumped the gun doing the "clear cache" method. I thought it was a back door or something. Come to find out, right after I did it and started DLing it, everyone and their mom was DLing too.

good thing there's some playoff basketball on tonight...sheesh
