Bungie weekly update 5/18/07!

For some reason, today is turning in to a Halo 3 news day but that probably has something to do with Halo being the biggest game franchise in the last 7 years not to mention the release of Halo 3 is right around the corner, so people have Bungie under the microscope and print everything that Bungie post's on it's website.

Today's Bungie weekly update was done by lukems because Frankie is in Europe pitching Halo 3 to numerous game rating review boards for it's European release date of Sept 26th.

lukems talked about some of the hiccups that people have encountered with the beta and how the feedback is important because Bungie can take care of these issues before the retail game ships, that's why it's called......... a (beta):

Some folks are still having the odd issue with the Beta – occasionally not seeing text for the interface. There’s an easy fix for that problem, repeated here for reference:

No Text in the UI Fix:

  • If you encounter this issue, you can fix it yourself by doing the following:
  • Restart your Xbox 360
  • Boot up the Halo 3 Beta
  • While the Halo 3 Beta is loading, immediately press up on the D-Pad and hold the A button until you see the Bungie logo. If you perform this correctly a dialog box will appear confirming maintenance has been done to your system.
  • Resume the Halo 3 Beta!

The “Game Over” screen problem – and some of the issues with file sharing and slow matchmaking – were related to our servers being overwhelmed and should be drastically improved by the time you read this. The great thing about a Beta test is that it helps everyone identify these types of hiccups BEFORE the final game ships. So, thanks everyone for slamming our back-end infrastructure. This is the precise reason we needed such a large scale beta in the first place.

And again, we’re sorry for the inconvenience and headaches from the past two days and we hope the fun you have playing the game makes up for the drama.
