The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Sounds disappointing already. After the download becomes available I was hoping I'd never have to load up Crackdown nor have it in my drive for a long while. Thank god I'll have other games to keep me busy during this unforgettable experience.

Where, in this five thousand page sploodgefest of a thread, did you get impression that it "sounds disappointing"? Pretty much everyone who's touched it is floored. That's one of the weakest trolls I've seen here in ages, and there's been plenty.

*feasts on bitter tears*

Not 2 hours on a 512 connection :(

By the way, whipped this up just now:

needs master chief silhouette instead of batman and cortana eye in background on otherside of the LukeSignal.
Then it becomes perfect and ascends into the realm.

I'd like some Iced tears....it's sweet

It'll take about 2 hours when it's released for Crackdown users.
Also, left will be right, hardcoded. Textures won't be supported in the Crackdown version of the beta, and matchmaking will be limited to 1v2 plasma rifle Team Slayer.
 
Wonder what MajorNelson's Weekly Most Active Xbox 360 Games list is going to look like. Crackdown may overtake Gears. O_O

I suspect Bungie doesn't have squat to do with the Beta release. My email came from Microsoft marketing.

But Luke Is The ONE. Ending the war between Bungie and MS Marketing with the push of a single button. Then we all get to go to the Sweat Rave and bonehump Carrie Anne Moss.

I can't tell what that is? It looks like a picasso drawing of a uncouth woman, or someone holding something in their hands?

I'm reloading Crackdown every 20 minutes or so since I can't sleep anyway. I'll post if it ever becomes available.

Is this just lame sarcasm?
 
There will also be one map for Crackdown users, the Halo 2 version of Zanzibar. In fact, it'll have all the Halo 2 weapons and Halo 2 graphics, instead you will be just playing a single-level multi-demo of Halo 2.

"Excellent headshot Spartan, I'm sure he didn't see that one coming."

"LOW SHIELDS SPARTAN, FIND COVER NOW!"

"I can see my house from here!"




Oh and, wow@all the signs of an early September 25th-27th Halo 3 release coming true - I believed it, but it's still something to hear that it's coming THIS early... whoa!

*Marks date down on calendar*

This Halo 3 Hollywood premiere event Kotaku mentioned, is that another one for the Beta (kinda pointless now), or for something... else?

This was just a party with lots of Halo 3 beta demos and B-celebrities. Nothing new here at all, in case you were wondering.

However, I did manage to sneak out some Halo Mountain Dew and will give buds-on impressions tomorrow.
