The Halo 3 Beta Thread

so do you need a code with the copy of crackdown to download and play the beta?

The beta is accessed through the disc itself, there's no code. Codes are only used for the F/F invites and the people who got in through the contest (rule of 3 or whatever it was) since there's no disc involved there.

Get 'em! :lol
 
ok i swear if i start playing the beta and people are standbying then i'm calling up 18004myxbox and telling those fools i want 59.99 back for crackdown.

hey luke smith, can you confirm that bungie has new code to counter standby and bridging?

btw, sorry crackdown developer but i really did just spend 59.99 on halo 3 beta. crackdown sucks.

Crackdown is your code. You get the download straight from the Crackdown DLC menu.

people here are already asking if their pirated copy can be used to download the beta. it´s really starting to get annoyng how they can get away with it an even get things like this game.
 
You guys are insane. Not in one of those, "HAHAHA MY DRUNK FRIEND IS STEALING THE TRAFFIC CONE," type way, either.
 
Why would you risk a ban for two days of early Halo Beta.

God knows i want to play but id rather wait till Wednesday than get banned.

i am confused how are people getting it?
There is a way to completely void your TOS with Live and commit fraud on multiple levels to get into the Beta two days early. Sound tempting?

I'm amazed that some of you guys are going for this.

What the hell is going on? And I don't mean "omg tell me how to get this beta mang", but what the hell is up here? Are people actually hacking shit?

No, its technically not a hack, more of a bug/ work around.
 
Are some of you actually bragging about scamming the system? :lol

It is only a few more days wait, yeah it sucks but damn!

For the record, you don't need to hack ****ing shit. It works just like sharing does on PSN.

More or less. Like Ghaleon says, they're violating their TOS and the best part is Bungie knows they're doing it.
 
Oh jesus. I had my patio door smashed in and some electronics and games stolen including Crackdown and even I'm not that desparate to get in the beta that I have to use a workaround and risk getting banned.

Have fun while you're still in though, guys. :(

No one is hacking anything, they're just buying one-way tickets to banville.

Just ran into a group of them in the beta, screaming, freaking out, generally being obnoxious. Can confirm that the mute option is super easy, even in game.
 
Yeah, but there is no XBL game sharing :lol

There is no hacking involved. All it is is people who got a code for the beta are sharing their XBL account so they can then download the beta.

They won't ban you. People have done tons of stuff to break TOS rules on live ever since the 360 came out. They never ever ban people. Hell they still don't even ban people using modded consoles to play pirated full games.
 
For those of you who are "hacking" to get in... I hope you have a blast playing the beta for 5 minutes. Don't start crying when you get banned from it.

Have fun testing it out for everyone else. Once you get banned it will set an example.
