Patience is a virtue guys...

They're trying as hard as they can right now to get this to work. If theres anything they can do, they're trying it, believe me they don't want to upset their customers. If they don't get it working soon they run a risk of damaging their planned multi-million dollar marketing campaign for H3... not something they want to do.

Although I'm just as eager to play it, whats another day to wait? Those of you who have taken off from school or work should have seen this coming. Theres always problems with this kind of rollout. Imagine a million people trying to download this huge file at the same time... it might cause some problems!

So just so your day isn't wasted, why not work on your armor while you wait?

It's better than refreshing Crackdown every 10 minutes...

I've been watching it all day, it's a nice way to pass the time until I can play it myself.

Just spotted this in an article on MSN News:

Microsoft staged previews in New York and San Francisco on Friday in advance of the public test, or “beta,” of the game, which went live Wednesday and is scheduled to run for about three weeks.

A surge of gamers trying to download the game quickly overwhelmed the system sparking howls from eager gamers. Microsoft called for patience on "Halo 3" message boards.

Kim said several hundred thousand people had signed up for the test, or beta, which is intended to work out any remaining kinks in the game and make sure the Live network can handle thousands of matches at the same time.

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.
