The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Masta_Killah said:
:/ I didn't pay for a beta. I paid for a game called Crackdown. The beta was just an added FREE bonus to the game. I have no sympathy for you if all you wanted was to play the beta.

wow, thought i was the only one. the H3 beta is definitely the bonus for me, i guess that's why i'm not as bothered by the issues as some are.

Its ****ing HALO 3.

Think about that one for a second.

Imagine if you just found out Pokemon, or Pikmin, or something along those lines was delayed just for you but not everyone else. I bet your panties would bunch up.
 
This most liekly has been answered but I'm not going through thousands of posts to find it...

If you have one 360 with two accounts (both with gold) and one Crackdown disc, can Beta be played through both accounts? And I don't mean at the same time, just wondering if it can be played through more than one account on one 360. I don't want to share my brother's friends.

We didn't just win, we absolutely destroyed them.this is up there with the other domination when nutter, ironclad, cerrius and I beat a team at 1 flag ctf on zanzibar with only melees. no shots were fired. 2-0 shut out. iirc we also had a a fairly high K:D ratio too :lol

Nice that you like it.:)

I'll see if I can get more out of this game compared to Halo2.
 
I'M NOT TOUCHING THE BETA!!!

I WILL TAP HALO3 LIKE A HOT VIRGIN WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!

(tell that to myself 50 times, no betA, no beta, i gotta study, i gotta study, shit shit shit shit)

Wow Halo 3 is going to be huge. This is the seventh largest thread on Neogaf and the beta of a final version game hasn't even been released to the masses yet.

It's pretty likely that Halo 3 will be the most popular game of all time, at least on gaf.

Yes, assuming we're ever allowed in.

case in point :lol
 
To the guys who bought Crackdown for Crackdown but also want to play the beta- unlucky :(

To the guys who bought Crackdown just for the beta-:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
 
Let's gamble on how large this thread will be before we get our grubby little hands on the beta.

Over/under at 10,000?

EDIT: The optimist in me wants the under, the realist is thinking about taking the over.

I'm taking the over. Especially with Stinkles' stern tone earlier.
 
I am dissappointed. I worked everything in advance so that today and tomorrow I would have enough time to play the BETA. I guess you can never count in anybody but yourself. I am confident however that Bungie will do something to make it up.
 
I know it's been mentioned before, but I love how Major Nelson's site goes offline right as the Beta gets delayed. He's like fu## this noise, I'm on a plane back to HQ, go bug Bungie. I can't really blame him though.
 
WTF Still no beta? I seriously expected this to be cleared up sooner than this.

Do you not understand this MS?

This is the game of the 360. Not Gears. Not Mass Effect. Not ****in Viva pinata. It's Halo 3.

There should not be this problem.

But then again, no one should have ever believed it would get out on time if you take into account MS's track record with Live...

Okay, let me think.

Nope, I still wouldn't act like some of the people here. Shit happens. A free demo got delayed. If that's enough to ruin a person's day, he needs to reexamine his life.
 
I bet this thread reaches 9500 posts before we get the beta through Crackdown.

Incorrect. Free demo: out early. Paid demo: no release in sight.

keep walking chump, nothing to see here.

I called into work/thats about 50% of why I'm pissed. 25% is posts like that. and the last 25% I hand over to MS for this debacle.
 
im so tired now. up since last night and still no go. there's just no more energy left in me. im out for a nap--hopefully it'll be resolved soon.

best of luck.

Has Microsoft said anything about the delay yet?

I was here about three pages back, but I had to run some errands. What's the status on the delay?

they are "working on" and will keep us updated

The whole $60 demo thinking is steaming horseshit, and you know it. It might have been the only reason you bought Crackdown, but it's not what you paid for.
 
Does anyone here remember the day Half-Life 2 was released? No one could play because their network couldn't handle the load.

:lol

This is exactly what a "hitch" is.

He's not flying back to HQ, he is getting out of the country.

That was already scheduled in advance since 3 days ago. When I mean something to make it up, I mean something related to Halo like a surprise to fans.

I played it when it came out. I remember it, too. The clock struck 12:01 and my files started unlocking. Great night that was!

Nope, I was playing it at midnight because I had preloaded it and all I had to do was push the unlock button. WIN! Thank you, Valve!

Hey, I took the day off too. But Jesus Christ, even if it doesn't come out today at all... I have a day off.

Sorry, I don't take my marching orders from you, sweetheart.

I bought the boxed copy and got hosed because of Valve's **** up.

Everyone here will just have to suck it up and play the beta later or just don't bother.

Not that it's any real consolation for those who haven't had their chance at Halo 3 yet, but I threw together a brief beta write-up with a very unique perspective than the media, at least as far as I can tell. My apologies for any grammatical or spelling issues, I've been pretty busy this week...

This Way Leadeth To Glory

Much thanks to the one who offered me the opportunity of participating in the Friends & Family portion of the beta...

Man, you got some excellent screenshots and close-ups.

Especially this one:
