Halo 3 Beta

[Psikotic]

ok i know this thread was created and locked before but i really need some help. my crackdown original broke but fortunetly i have a backup that i made last week when i purchased the game.

so now my question is why cant i download the halo 3 beta from my crackdown backup??

they beta acce4ss via crackdown isnt working ATM, its all overt the Xbox and bungie forums. We cant help you here.

The bottom line is you're free to download anything you want using a burned copy AT YOUR OWN RISK and hope that M$ doesn't catch you. No one said you couldn't.

But when it comes to a question that directly or indirectly implies using a downloaded game that you don't own there simply won't be any discussion of it on these boards. Those are Textbook's rules and we all have to play by them.

yea i know the rules. i own a crackdown copy dont worry about that. since i burned the backup form my original crackdown disk im tihnking that everything from the original is dumped in the backed up copy even the beta code. but the problem is that i cant seem to download the data yet. maybe it's what bacon said that the beta access from the crackdown isn't working at the moment. but i'll let you guys know if im able to download the beta once its available in the crackdown menu

 

[johnjohn]

it isnt available yet. The having "technical difficulties" but i dont think they beta tested the Halo 3 beta download from crackdown.

Halo 3 beta has been available for about 6 hours since this post, and it is amazing, much better graphics than I thought there would be.

they do have some pretty frequent problems though all of which include going back to the desktop and restarting the game here at the ones I have run into

When you try to start the beta it will say "game over" the beta is expired... if you go to dashboard and try again it will fix it.

sometimes somebody in your party will be flashing and it says they are "loading files" if this goes on for more than 5 minutes they need to go to dashboard and reset.

if you guys find anymore common problems please share them, and any fix you find.

this might help, plus if you did not know before you now know how to clear your cache

To clear the cache on the Xbox 360 do the following:

Go to the Xbox Dashboard, select the System Blade, and select Memory.
Highlight the HD symbol and press Y.
Press X, X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X.
You will see a confirmation

Now go into Crackdown, click on downloads and now HALO 3 BETA will be BLUE
