I think the home stretch will be the download.

It might be a long home stretch.

I need people to get online. Doing matchmaking against total noobs is the only way I can win. Today is my day to get a positive kill-death ratio! Don't let me down, Microsoft.

Oh yeah, soon I'll be fragging like crazy in a desperate attempt to raise my K/D ratio from where it's sitting at 0.6.

i lol'ed. everyone was quite jumpy this morning. then seething anger. then some funny shit. then seething anger. then bonding. now waiting again for the seething anger countdown.

[Kai Dracon]

Well this is so exciting even though I already have it! :lol

Yes.

We know you have it.

We really do.

We also know where you live.

And we are unstable.

Ask Jack.

We have stabbing weapons.

And there are so many things we know.

Yes.

Spoiler

I want it too

 

[thatbox]

I slept from 11AM - 1PM CST and from 6:30PM - 8:30PM CST. Other than that I've been awake since Tuesday morning. (**** you Microsoft team.)

Crackdown Update/Halo 3 Beta in 0 - 3 hours (if everything goes according to plan).

 

[Dirtbag]

I'm Delerious

Were leaving together,
But still its farewell
And maybe well come back,
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
Were leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

Its the final countdown...

Here's a video I made of the events that have transpired today:

Here's a hi-res version, via PutFile. I recommend this one, if only for the sake of reading the ridiculous shit off the Bungie forums...

http://media.putfile.com/Halo-3----The-Beta-Catastrophy-

(the site spelled catastrophe wrong...)

:lol well done, that was pretty funny

did someone really threaten to kill themselves on the bungie forums?:lol

i wonder if it would be nearly as big without the drama

i hope this gets folded into the official thread. 20,000 posts, better believe it!

 

[rollingstart]

no 7 pm eastern he said 3 to 6 hours so 10PM EST - 1AM EST we should expect it

if it comes out 1 am, I will laugh, that would mean May 16th has been the most wasted day of my entire life. To think I could have spend these 14 hours finishing the Halo 2 single player 5 times.

 

[tralfazz]

Just saw an ad on live stating Halo 3 9/25/07. Is this old news?

 

[Eric WK]

So far so good:

Games: 42
Last Played: 5/16/2007 6:52:30 PM
Total Kills: 662
Total Deaths: 422
Kill/Death Ratio: 1.5687

Now it's time for a "Lost" break.

Did you just delete your video from Youtube?

 

[DreamMachine]

Hey guys I am downloading it through crack down now

but first go to your memory and use this code (y, x, x, lb, rb, x, x )

Now start Crackdown, you will then force the game to download the update that allows you to download the Halo 3 beta.

Well I guess it was good for me to have my 12 hour day today since we got hosed. Here's to hoping it's up sometime this evening.

[Xabora]

Downloading it now.

BUT, make sure you perform maintenance on your HDD.
(y, x, x, lb, rb, x, x under Memory for the HDD)
Now start Crackdown, you will then force the game to download the update that allows you to download the Halo 3 beta.

^_^

Letting you guys know this works for some people.

10% on my end right now.

I thought it was just me I was about to make a thread

 

[Lyte Edge]

i'd actually say tobal 1 >>> tobal 2. i didnt like the direction they took the sequel

Holy crap NOOOOO!! Tobal 2 was a vast improvement on the original, and arguably one of the few 3D fighting games from 10 years ago that still holds up today.

 

[sk3tch]

I've got to say, I wasn't all that interested in the Halo 3 Beta before...but after reading this I'm going to give it a shot. I guess you guys have helped add one more download to the queue! But hey, I suck...so it'll be fun to kill me.

Youtube is terrible for downgrading video, so I went with a less compressed upload.

I'm pretty sure you'll end up selecting the option to format your drive.
