Ah, I'm afraid you're wrong. I'm not lying here, check the screens that some of the guys are playing in the latest Vidoc. Infact, no. Just have a look at this...

Now as you can clearly see, that my friend is Zanzibar in Halo 3. Now because it's back, this leads me to believe there will be pilotable boats in Halo 3, namely tugboats (more than likely Ship-Docking Modules as they're omni-directional) because Wind Power Station 7 will have been brought back online, and will need a steady supply of coal to operate. Therefore, it's my guess that the Chief will go on Recon missions in Halo 3 to search the Halo's, and the Dyson Spheres for coal. They will then be brought back to the Sol system by captured Covenant Capital spaceships. These will then dock with a repaired Space Tether, which will transport said coal down to Earth, to be placed upon barges. It is then that the Master Chief will assume the role (and rank!) of 'Tug Master Chief', safely towing the barges up river to Zanzibar so that Wind Powere Station 7's main prop can start turning again.

Every game has a Beta test, normally the public doesn't have the chance to play it. If you don't test your game, you get crappy games. Simple enough, so if there wasn't a public Beta, there would simply be a private Beta that you'd never be able to see.

I am not gonna say that it is zanzibar but it is definately not High Ground. No matter what map it is the layout closely resembles that of Zanzibar. Sadly I had not noticed this on the Vidoc.

You guys are such player haters...don't player hate on the halo 3 beta...you guys are being seriously lame! ITs not cool to say "buy crackdown and get halo 3 beta" then not tell us the exact date but say "Spring 2007" which really started over a month ago...then not release until MAy16....you should have said "Late spring 2007" don't make me come down there and tea bag your sorry ass Frankie....halo 2 is so played out im sick and tired of "-blam!-low 2" its so played out....give us the beta and stop player hating!

If there's one thing I have learned in working with you, it's that there is always margin for error.

Will there be any unlockable achievement points in the beta?

Everyone should be happy, it is one more step closer to the public beta getting into our hands!

I am kind of happy when the public beta comes out. My last exam is on the 16th, and then I start back up my internship over the summer. Basically I have a period off between then that I will get to play it a ton woohoo!

lucky... my last exams are on the 4th, 5th and 6th, so I have to pick between Halo 3 or passing spring quarter.

So what about the group of people who got in through the Marty Army promotion thing? (inlcuding myself) Do we get the same dates as everyone else or something different? Is that part of friends and family?

Nope sorry you don't get to participate at all, oh well, too bad for you.




JK JK, I think everyone will get in on the same day.

If you don't know what it is, you obviously are not in it. Heh. That's like the first time I've heard anyone say that.

On a lighter note, I will make sure to "punish" those who are playing the Beta right now. And yes, that includes you, Frankie.

lol j/k j/k. Can't wait for the Beta!

Ha. My finals end on the 3rd...of May. But I'm assuming you guys are still in high school, or, failing that, in some region where they believe you should have school until mid summer.
