The Halo: Reach beta is now officially live via the Halo 3: ODST campaign disc and it would appear that the response – reported by Bungie as more than 600,000 players – has caused a bit of a server meltdown.
The good news is that Bungie is well on the way to getting things fixed, and the more severe issues are now over.
“The Beta is not quite fully operational, but it should be moving at a pretty good clip now that our online team has applied some technological fixups,” read a Bungie status update. “You should still expect suboptimal performance, but you should also now be getting games with relative ease. Once again, thanks for being patient.”
Bungie added: “Again, we’re not out of the woods just yet. If you experience any problems connecting or getting into games, please let us know about it. Politely, of course. Otherwise, have fun in the Beta!”
