Destiny's 1.2.0 update has hit a bit of a snag before coming out of the gate, leading Bungie to issue a statement ahead of its release.

The update is set to overhaul The Crucible (Destiny's competitive multiplayer) by revamping the rewards system and freshening up the map cycle. Its release has not come yet, though, and Community Manager Deej took to the forums to explain its status:
"I've spoken with the finest minds at Bungie about Update 1.2.0 just moments ago. They're working to correct a late-breaking technical issue that would have impacted the way the game launches for a large portion of you. Progress is being made.
We'll be sharing new details on the deployment schedule that leads to House of Wolves as soon as they become facts. At the very least, you'll hear from me once a day about this. Hang in there, and thank you for your patience."
