The Halo 3 Beta Thread

raYne said:
I lol'd at people on my friends list playing the SR Beta. So YOU go try Shadownrun!

It's actually a pretty fun game. Worth 60 dollars? No. 40? Sure, maybe. DEFINITELY not 60 though. That made me cry when it was announced.

It all makes sense now. Shane Kim was just saying he thought people would transition from the Halo 3 Beta to Shadowrun. :lol
:lol I wish him luck with all of that.

In a similar situation, a friend of mine joked that MS/Bungie should've made the H3 Beta 20 gigs. Instant 120 HDD sales + 1million.

I sure hope a new thread is started tomorrow when the majority gets the demo. This thread is too damn long.
No. THIS IS SPARTA! We must have a huge thread. Stop trying to make it artificially smaller, you!

He was in the Starry Night CG teaser (one with the bubble shield reveal). When Master Chief jumped in the group of Brutes, you could clearly see him there with his big ass hammer.

That was not Tartarus. That was just a Brute general as seen in the vidocs. If Tartarus is back then there better be a good reason because I didnt really like him as a charcater. Some backstory on him would make me apprecciatte him more

Until the Beta is back up, let's enjoy kittens. Here's the litter my girlfriend is currently taking care of-

On a related note, she named the freakshow with the five toes, Chief. I don't think I need to explain why. DAWWWWWWW.

So if I were to go buy CD right now would I be able to play tomorrow?

Yup. Just make sure it has a sticker on it for the Beta.

Nahhhh. Let's pass Oblivion.

How many posts does the Oblivion thread have? We should be able to easily pass that. Almost at 5,000 posts and the beta hasn't even begun for most people.

Edit: Oblivion thread is at 12,166 posts. Oh shits. It's on.

I just watched it again and you're right. I was mistaken.
I do think that he'll be back though now that the focus is on the Brutes.

we will easily pass that thread once everyone gets it. everyone will discuss and/or bitch about the beta.

Thank God that your friend doesn't work for MS.

This thread is at 5,000 posts and this beta isn't even widely available yet.
50% of the posts are "DAMNIT, I WANT TO ****ING PLAY!" 40% are retarded graphics talk, and 10% is actual beta talk. If the beta is really awesome, then this thread should be a ghost town once it hits.

The folks seeing the "Game Over" message - you tried restarting the Beta?


Restart your box.


Bam.
Why does the b.net home page countdown say 13 hours. Can you please just tell us when to expect it, because the first press release, second press release, and the countdown are saying three totally different times.

I used to be able to open the kotaku site, now it just says "IE cannot display webpage". No clue why. Oh well

Here's what it says:

According to an anonymous source, we've been told Microsoft will be revealing the official release date of its highly anticipated Bungie-developed shooter soon. The company is expected to announce that Halo 3 will ship to North American consumers on September 25th of this year, with European Xbox 360 owners getting the game just one day later on September 26th.

That's just a couple days after the Tokyo Game Show goes down in Japan, a move which could be seen as an effort to downplay announcements from Microsoft's competitors.

I'm off to the Halo 3 Hollywood premiere event, kicking off within the hour, so keep your eyes peeled for news. Michael McWhertor

Ooh Kay. That might do it.


Nope I restarted and it still tells me it's unavailable. Am I doing something wrong?

Me, Ghaleon and a lot of others already knew it. Just waiting for someone in this thread to confirm it.
