Oh dear. It seems my favourite podcaster and all-round web celebrity Major Nelson has a few issues at the moment.

His website has been down most of today and recently it was updated to this:

We’re aware that some users are having difficulty downloading the Halo 3 multiplayer beta via Crackdown. Bungie Studios is working with the Xbox Live team to resolve this as quickly as possible - stay tuned. Gamers entering the beta through other means, such as the Friends and Family remain unaffected.

I am headed back to Seattle in a few hours, so I’ll be offline while I am in the air. For the most up to date information, keep an eye on Bungie.net for the latest from Frankie regarding this issue.

This site is experiencing an excessive traffic amount of traffic at this time, so sorry for the temporary nature of this message. We’re working on getting back online as soon as we can.

This is a real shame and I bet Major is seriously pissed off that he has somehow become a channel for Halo 3 complaints.

My views on the Halo 3 beta? Naa, I can wait. I have never been a HUGE fan of Halo 2 Multiplayer anyway. Don’t get be wrong its good with a few close friends/clan members but if you choose to just jump in and play it can be seriously disturbing.

Halo 3s campaign mode is what excites me more, especially after Halo 2’s horrible ending. I have a feeling Bungie want to make amends for screwing us all over like that and giving us 3 years to stew on it.
