Thats bad luck right there dude....sorry to hear it...

Just downloading it now myself..Will take a bit of time to get use to it i would imagine after playing MW2 for the last couple of months.

Anyone else sitting on 99% download? Mines shot up from 45 to 99 about an hour ago and hasn't moved since. Was going pretty slow before this, bungie forums are completely jammed too. Apparently there's problems with the servers once you actually get the beta anyway.

That happened to me, only solution is to go to your memory settings and delete it and start again.

Mines on 45% at the moment - these are the times I wish I had faster broadband

Shammy

66% and rollin

The server went crazy because of all the people logging on. As much as it pains me I have to leave it settle a while. And I'm so close to maxing out my rank! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm on 32% after about an hour... i managed to get it going again with the cd tray open? ...It's even slightly more rather annoying since the porblems im having are not definite or consistant! At least if it was one issue i could go about solving it in the correct fashion, bah its working again, hopefully it lasts...

Rob2D

It won't.

I downloaded it in about 30mins at 7, had no issues at all. Still don't understand why MS/Bungie didn't allow it to be downloaded this morning - that would have staggered the load.
Played a few games, controls were a little odd at at first (melee when I wanted to reload) - but got the hang of them after a while. Armour abilities are cool, and headhunter is good fun. Will have a proper go at it tomorrow night.

FYI, if you play matches while the servers are having trouble you may get minus points. I finished a match with +1600 and it took points away from me. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!:mad:

Shammy

Yes, the Beta ended on the 20th of May, so you're rather late to the party.
