Bungie is in my 360 deleting my saved films

Nice with the playlist update! Slayer hardly needs a place in skirmish.

 

[Striker]

Nope. I hate retards and 13 year old ****bags just as much as you and Jared.

You should've been there when we were beating high 30's and a 40 in TS, then we got standbyed. In the lobby, a 13 yr old kid tells us to never teabag him again (called someone on our team a "kid") or he'll kill them.

 

[Joe]

is there an exact time the beta will be releaed?

 

[Y2Kev]

More high ground CTF!!! AWESOME!!! Bungie can read my mind!

 

[CreepingDea7h]

is there an exact time the beta will be releaed?

There's a countdown at Bungie.net.

If there is a separate team slayer playlist, why even bother putting team slayer on the skirmish playlist?

 

[urk]

is there an exact time the beta will be releaed?

0 days, 15 hrs, 39 mins, and 14 secs until the Halo 3 Public Beta begins! Give or take depending on when you read this.

 

[Mr Jared]

How did I miss this?

Yay! I want to play Team Skirmish to take a break from Team Slayer, but yeah, all that ever popped up was Team Slayer.

 

[Imperial Hot]

I am pretty sure that the countdown on there page is wrong. According the the Beta FAQ it goes live at 12:01 PDT, or 3:00 AM EST.

Really? I'd stay up for that...

From 5:00 A.M. PDT on May 16 through 11:59 P.M. PDT on June 6, Crackdown™ owners and a few other lucky Halo® fans will get a sneak peek at this year's most anticipated game by participating in the Halo 3 multiplayer beta test on Xbox LIVE®.

 

[CreepingDea7h]

Can anyone confirm which time is correct? I always thought it was 5 AM PST.

Edit: But which should we believe? Has Frankie or any of the mods at bnet confirmed it?

 

[Imperial Hot]

Really? I'd stay up for that...

Yeah, really. Here is the link.

How long will the beta last?

The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT.

 

[SpokkX]

why should it be wrong?

I hope that is wrong....

Thanks.

So, Stinkles/Luke, confirmation of when we'll be able to download?

 

[Eric WK]

Countdown is to 5:00 Pacific, 8:00 Eastern.

Of course, I'd prefer it five hours earlier.

 

[Joe]

8am est?? why not 3am est like xbla games? a-holes

 

[Eric WK]

8am est?? why not 3am est like xbla games? a-holes

XBLA games are actually 5:00 AM EST.

 

[ant1532]

XBLA games are actually 5:00 AM EST.

I wish it was that. I would just go to bed earlier and wake up at 5 am before school and play for an hour and a half.(I wake up at 6:35 am for school anyways)

 

[Imperial Hot]

I am pretty sure that they are probably not going to wait until 8AM to release it. They are just asking to bring down the servers at that hour. Do it early in the morning, so that everyone isn't awake to rush and download it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

How did I miss this?

Yay! for less Team Slayer in Skirmish.

Luke had said there was a known bug with the uploading of saved films (someone here ran into it) so that could be part of what was fixed.

 

[Eric WK]

Good idea and I hope you're right.

Frank/Luke can you guys give us any sort of confirmation one way or the other?

 

[JdFoX187]

Well I might as well stay up all night then. I woke up REALLY late so an extra few hours waiting won't kill me, especially if the Beta gets released at 2 a.m. CDT.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yeah, really. Here is the link.
http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=h3betaz

That FAQ was written in February, while the PR others quoted (and that's in my OP) is from last month. I'm running with the most recent one for now, until we get clarification.

:lol How fast you think it's gonna download?

What the hell is "download"??

Nice avatar.

What if it was up RIGHT NOW?

 

[Imperial Hot]

Knowing Luke, he would rather watch us squirm in agony at the uncertainty of the time of release, than let us know.

 

[VASPER]

Nothing with a lazer coming from it's mouth allowed on GAF

RELLY!:lol

"soon"(TM)



Hopefully they do clarify, there's going to be lots of tired people tomorrow morning!

 

[Sullichin]

3 weeks is still sooo short. I can barely wait another day to play the beta, what the **** am I going to do until September (at the earliest)!

 

[SpudBud]

Crap, I hope its before 8am, I have to go to first period at eight and I was hoping to start downloading before I went to school.

School is for fools.

Stay home.

 

[Ramirez]

Every time I try and play it... I win by usually 15-16 kills

So I end up getting terribly bored and just give up.

The answer that is sure to be on Microsoft sponsored blogs is, play Shadowrun or Forza.

I think Shadowrun will help the tide if people actually get involved in it.

 

[Max@GC]

Dunno if someone has posted this yet but gamepro.de has two hd vids of the halo 3 beta. Nothing new but the quality is a lot better than the gametrailers stuff.

Would have for me if it didn't have that $60 price tag or that $100+ price tag for Vista.

 

[CreepingDea7h]

I think Shadowrun will help the tide if people actually get involved in it.

I'd probably go for it if it was 40$, at 60$ I just feel like its a rip off. I can't understand MS' decision to price it at 60$.
