The Halo 3 Beta Thread

I've played Crackdown, maybe 20 minutes :lol

Although I knew it was basically a 60 dollar beta invite for me the entire time, so I could care less that the game didn't interest me...

Sorry to hear that. I personally think it's the best game out on the 360 right now.

I got in through The Rule of Three like 2 days after I pre-ordered Crackdown. I've put in at least about 20 hours of Crackdown (800 achievement points) and I'm not going to be using Crackdown to get in the beta.
 
Not saying it's a bad game, just saying that any game these days has a hard time holding my interest if it doesn't have good online competitive play.

Would you like to play a co-op game with me and see my freakin awesome agent?

yeh crackdown was ****ing awesome. ONE MORE ORB GODDAMIT :(

I am done with Crackdown... game ****in blows.

I hate you FIVE remaining orbs. 10 hours of my life down the toilet thanks to those ****ing ass orbs.
 
I was always going to buy Crackdown at some point, on account of having a blast with the demo, but the guaranteed H3 Beta key forced me to pick it up on day one. Easily the most pure fun I've had in any game in a long time.

Still, I was this close to going on a Crackdown hiatus when I had one Agility Orb left and couldn't find the damn thing after a week searching all three islands up and down. Then one day, while just screwing around in La Mugre and fleeing from the Muertos hit squads, I just stumbled across it. I just stood there staring in awe of its splendor and magnificence until the barrage of enemy gunfire forced me to just pick it up and get the hell outta there.

Those Hidden Orbs, though? Yeah, never gonna happen...
 
Every other night or so I hop on Crackdown for an hour and just jump (jump up) around, Crimes Off, opportunistically blowing up clusters of automobiles. It's surprisingly entertaining stress relief. I've given up hope on finding my last three orbs, so if I ever do run into them, it will be glorious indeed. I've never had a game where just tooling around was so much fun.

Is it Friday yet?

Only 30 left! I haven't seen one for days, though. >_>

I actually found two the other day, but have no idea exactly how many are left, nor do I care anymore.

I'm tempted to use the orb guide Ghaleon posted, but maybe it won't do me any good. You can't remember which orb you got where, so you'd have to go to each of the 300 locations individually, (assuming you could even match them up correctly). I don't have that kind of patience and resolve, unfortunately.

How do people get custom icons in their gamercard? I thought this was only possible using the Live Vision Camera.

Excuse me for quoting myself, but I'd love to know... :|

yeah, as far as I know the only way to get custom gamerpics is to take a picture with the vision camera.

VG+ recently lowered the price of Crackdown, and the say it has the beta key is still included. Just a heads up for anyone who's interested.

how much did they lower it to?
 
I searched through the thread and couldn't find anything about this, does anyone know if this Beta will be in 1080i? 1080p?

Has anyone heard if they are going to be in the "Friends and Family" portion of the Beta?
Most of the notifications go out through Bungie.net on Friday. I did see that Luis Wu at HBO confirmed he's in (he just got his 360).

I'm sure it will be 1280x720. Just scale that shit.

The only number we’re committing to is that our number one priority is to make Halo 3 look awesome, smooth, detailed and innovative, no matter what resolution you run it at. Although that said, it does look significantly better in HD, so maybe you should convince the powers that be, that now is the time for a set upgrade?

720p pretty much confirmed.

I think people on HBO would have been surprised if he did not get in.

Thanks for the explanation on the previous page.

BTW, did you accept my XBL invite?

Saddly, I agree.

The game just didnt do it for me, and it's a rather embarrassing purchase to think I bought a game for a 3-week long, timed beta. But Halo has strange effects on a man and his sense of judgement. I also once joined IGN for 20 bucks, because I didnt want to search the net (or wait any longer) for halo2 multiplayer footage from E3.

shame shame shame.

Sure did. I don't think I've ever turned one down.

My favorite poster by a country ****ing mile.

Dude, I'd play some games with you, but school is kicking my ass, plus I'm trying to pick up this really hot chick and you know how that goes. I'll be all over that Beta though come the 16th though, like a n00b to an SMG.
