While the press got its hands on the Halo 3 beta last week, gamers who purchased Crackdown and, therefore, the Halo 3 beta ticket that came with it, were supposed to gain access to the beta today. Sadly, this has not been the case.

According to Gamespot, reports of numerous beta problems forced Bungie to pull the game offline. Both Bungie and Major Nelson acknowledge this and promise to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible.



Interestingly enough, Major Nelson has received such high traffic from this Crackdown debacle that his site is in "high load" mode. What's more, those at Bungie who may be wondering how upset gamers are by this little upset need not look any further than the Bungie forums. Eegad.
