In Bungie's latest weekly update, Frankie talks about the problems people had trying to download the new Halo 2 maps. Frankie mentions how difficult it was to release a map pack that 2 different consoles could download, and because of that challenge, allot of people were running into problems when they tried to download the "Blastacular" map pack:
The new Halo 2 maps came out, with what I would call “teething troubles.” There were lots and lots and lots of problems downloading and installing the maps. Fortunately, most of these issues have been resolved and as of very recently, those of you having failures should be able to get them now. Our apologies and again, making DLC for two consoles simultaneously was a challenge.
Most of you should be able to get ‘em today, a few of you might have to wait until Monday. And again, oops, our bad.
Finally, Frankie answers the question that everyone has been asking, and that is "why is the beta only going to last 3 weeks"?
I’ve been asked a few times why the impending Beta is only three short weeks long. Well, obviously the number one reason is that the longer we’re spending resources taking care of the Beta, the less time we’re applying what we’ve learned from it to the final game. And statistically, three weeks is going to seem like a pretty long time when you look at the hours you log on the game.
