Good fun, taking a break now, hungry

i downloaded the beta via the F+F invite in around 10 mins today .

although most people bought crackdown or picked it up in the last week or so just for the beta so you can understand people getting pissed about the delay after waiting so long.

unklerosco

Hmmmm... I wonder howmany people have bought crackdown in the last week and have spent the day sitting in the menu n still not played it.

super_furry

Heh, everyone's gamertag has Crackdown as the last played game.

GrumPy

Cracidown just updated after I loaded it up for the first time in 30mins, so I thought ****!! the beta must be working now, they patched it. But I was wrong :mad: Why would craicdown update now? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT TO ME

Ciaran500

The game was patched this morning. Did you get that one aswell?

I got that one too.

I have been playing crackdown all day, follwed by breaks for graw2, and shivering Isles, so theres no way I missed the update this morning, I got two crackdwon updates today.

Ciaran500

Have started Crackdown twice during the day and just now I only got the one update first thing this morning.

No one else reported it on other forums either

GrumPy

Well I got one this morning when I started playing, and another one when I loaded it up again after I had been playing graw, and then idle for a while in the dash. graw2 updated aswel, but thats of little importance

Listen, arseface, just because XBL had a little issue with the download doesn't mean you should go around calling Bungie noobs. The BETA is phenomonal, and its not their fault that you didn't get it. So either be patient, or curl up with a water bottle watching Dirt Dancing or whatever it is you do on that time of the month, and stop complaining. If you are going to be so immature that you insist on these petty insult EVERY POST, then don't bother playing the BETA, because I don't want people like you in the game. Go buy a PS3

Shudder....

unklerosco

I know, there was a great post where some guy gave out cause he didn't go into school n he had a load of homework to to do but didn't get it done cause he was waiting for the beta.. "Thanks Bungie"

Now, i know its been said many times before.. The yanks are mad...

Mind u, there is some very humorous threads

They're MAD!!!!!

Jaysus, its not the good that you all need to sit in the Crackdown menu all day
Plus its buggy, lots of problems joining games when invited.

lafors

Well I hope none of you get it cos I'm working nightshift ;P

I've been reading those posts on bungie's forums, there are some really strange individuals in the US.

I think I'll be muting everyone when I eventually get the beta, I do not want to hear idiot american school kids shouting their heads off. Maybe they should have an age ranking system

If you get it tonight enjoy!!

Zapp Brannigan

Well the new mute feature is meant to be sweet so I guess I'll be using that alot. Hate hearing the american kids! "OMG0RZZZ, I just Headshotted you.... in the head!!"

Grrrrrr.

You can already do that with every game from the in game xbox menu.

koneko

Yeah, you bring up the list (Back), select the person and press. Couldn't be easier, really. Muting people isn't new but this makes it much much easier.

Everyone's been really well behaved so far but as some have said, that'll probably change when it's open beta

thefinalstage

My God! None of the Americans can spell. It hurts to read.

Scruff

from a poster on the bungie board

i faked bein sick. told my boss my wife was sick and my daughter was cryin the whole night. i was up at 4am this mornin waiting for an hour for the beta release. i thought i would be the first on my friends list to get it. Boy was i SORELY mistaken.

what an idiot

KdjaCL

I actually was playing crackdown

Im having too much fun playing Crackdown, not really fussed about this demo tbh.

Scruff

yeah, crackdown is surprisingly fun. mightnt have the longevity but tis grand for now

Dave

downloading it now, should have it by the morning, it's going pretty slow, all though I suppose it is 911MB and everyone in the world is downloading it.

GrumPy

3% as of 7.43 this morning. Im in work at 10 anyway, so I wont be playing it till after 9! (assuming it doesnt take an age to download) loads of me bollix.

Ciaran500

This is flying for me, on 92% in just over 20 min

GrumPy

mines going a percentage a minute, on a 3mb line, with a strict NAT. :rolleyes:

koneko

If a few boardsies are getting a game together later, feel free to invite me too if I'm online

GT: psychokitten

Clank

Id be up for a few games too, my blessed battle rifle is back, anyone want a game add me, MoronicMaximus.

GrumPy how didnt you get a F+F invite???

Zapp Brannigan

Downloading it now. Guess all the Americans have it already cos this is flying along!

Again, any boardsies want a game you know who to ask! Slurms McK

oh and fair play to Nungie adding an extra 4 days to the Beta. they didnt have to but they did! Well done lads!
