So the mysterious x-button is not going to change the way we play halo? is it not going to be something as newfound as dual wielding? I sure hope so. Hopefully, it'll be more than just "cool"!!!

I think what he means is that it will not be surprising, as we have probably already seen the result of said X Button. I.E. if the X button is sprinting or the shield grenade, nobody will be surprised because those were the top 2 theories on the X Button.

Well then my guess it's a shield granade. He added the picture over that little section so I think it was a hint.

Spartans don't die, they simply go to hell and regroup.

I have a question of my own. Why is the only possible way for people outside of the US to get involved with the beta to buy some crap game? It takes the piss.

Thank you, -blam!- pots.

  • 02.16.2007 2:34 AM PDT

Cool news.

Cant wait :-)

Nice one.

  • 02.16.2007 2:53 AM PDT

I realise this is probably a futile question - if you knew the answer I'm sure it would have been part of the faq. I'm wondering what the duration of the beta will be. A week? A fortnight? A month? An unspecified time with notification served at some point that 'beta is coming to a close soon'?

Obviously, if you can't be specific about when it actually starts, it's unlikely you can be any more specific about when it might end.

(Heh - Apologies. completely missed the 'how long will it last? TBC' bit. Put it down to a senior moment.)

have u even played the demo of crackdown? i thought they were just usin a crap game to launch the beta. It's actually a great game from what i can tell from the demo especially when you play with a friend online.
