The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta was released yesterday albeit, dampened, due to the failure to enable the beta for Crackdown users. Crackdown, which included a beta invite on specially marked CDs, makes up the vast majority of beta users. However. none of them could download the beta untill 10:00 PM Eastern, 15 Hours after the announced release time. Additionally a significant number of Rule of 3 winners failed to receive the email with the code. Due to these issues the beta has been extended from July 6th to July 10th.

Expect a full analysis of the beta on this weeks Revenge of the Podcast.
