Signs of the Halo 3 beta getting just that little bit closer are here with Bungie upgrading their game stats servers for Halo 2 and well as the forthcoming Halo 3 (including the beta).
We're in the middle of upgrading the servers that receive game stats from the Xbox - processing of new stats may be delayed while we switch to the new system, and a few games might even fall through the cracks. (They'll still count for rank, just won't be visible on this site.) Sorry for any inconvenience.
When we're done, we'll be running on shiny new servers that will also be running the Halo 3 beta and eventually Halo 3 itself.
They are quick to mention that this shouldn't be taken at any more than face value, though still, things are progressing.
To clarify, this was just a routine server upgrade, similar to when we upgraded the web servers a couple weeks ago, and isn't a hint of imminent changes in the beta status.
