Hopefully everyone's blood pressure has dropped a touch since yesterday's shennagins with the Halo 3 beta. Crackdown owners should now be able to download the beta client and as compensation Bungie has extended the beta period by four days, so it now finishes on June 10th.

A number of people have also been reporting a bug in the game 'that sometimes results in improper text display in the game UI'. It shouldn't affect the game too badly, but if you want to fix it then you need to follow these steps:

1. Restart your Xbox 360
2. Boot up the Halo 3 Beta
3. 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.
4. Resume the Halo 3 Beta!

Nice that they extend the beta testing, however I don't think that they had to do this as a form of compo.

So, some people experienced a bug, that's the whole idea of beta testing, to find out if there are any significant bugs/glitches, that can be fixed before the release of the product to the general public.

Agreed.

I can't understand why so many care about playing an unfinished game…sounds like masochism to me. Though people do like to moan on the interweb and this a perfect excuse.

It's a chance to get a free taster of a game that won't be released, I don't see the problem with that. I know I would've loved to play the Halo 2 E3 demo.

I don't have a problem with it but so many people will play and then complain about it…and they already have!
