Subject: Halo 3 Beta forum practically lost.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

Last I checked, the Halo 3 beta forum was implemented for players to provide feedback on the game and divert all the flooding of the Halo 3 forum. So far, the entire thing is just a duplicate of the Halo 3 forum.

There's a ton of ideas buried under already answered questions and mindless threads. What happened to the rules I was hearing discussed before the forum was implemented?

You can't just ban some one for asking questions. It hasn't been the bad in my opinion, there are SOME good topics, which is more then I expected.

The Halo 3 forum should be where you ask these questions if the Halo 3 beta forum's FAQs did not answer them.

With hindsight, it probably should have been participant-only, at least until crackdown hit.

The problem is everybody wants to post their question or what-have-you instead of looking for an already-created appropriate thread. Hence-Welcome to Bungie.net!

Just be thankful there is little flaming and general idiocy. Who really expected that? I was pleasantly surprised.

I go out of my way to avoid the beta forum. For good reason.

You say tomato; I say potato.

I can't get an answer at all about what time the beta will be available.
It is difficult to keep track of topics in a forum that has 4 pages of topics that have been replied to within the last 30 minutes. It is impossible to find anything in the forum due to thread titles like "WTF?". Repeat topics and spam make the halo 3 beta forum a very difficult enviroment.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

The war between the F&F members and the Crackdown members is getting old.

I wish the mods would ban the people making those threads.

Hey guys, what time will the beta be available PDT?

And when do I get my email from the promotion?

If you don't like the forum, then don't go there. IMO the beta forum is considerably less intolerable than the H3 forum. The Beta forum diverts all the "unwanted" members and dumps them into the H3 forum where they currently belong. (though I would much rather prefer them in the flood) Right now at least the beta forum seems to me a great forum to discuss, without being flamed or other things.

But to take care of the mess in H3 forum, thats an entirely different story.

Halo 3 beta forum lost? ha.

you are looking at the picture way too close. take a few steps back and breath it in. deeply.

When you're able to breath again, you'll see what I see.

OMG - Gaming for the fun of it in the UK and Europe

The Beta forum will settle down, it's only been open a matter of days. The Halo 3 Forum was exactly the same when it launched.

Funny, 98% of the questions are explaned in the News topics and the Halo 3 site. People CAN NOT read! Or are just lazy!

My advise, clean the whole thing up, purge the Beta 3 Forums and start again!

Nothing about: when does it start, or: why can you download the Beta and I'm not, or: bla bla I've Crackdown and still I'm waiting, Bungie is not a friend anymore bla bla...

There are a lot of complains about the release and this is really bad, we should have the patience to we get the Beta Release and play the game on Live!
Cu there!

I went over there to check why the crackdown thing wasn't working.

Found out it was on the front page. was in and out in mere seconds.

It's like a repeat of the announcement of Halo 3 when the H3 forum launched.

  • 05.16.2007 7:07 AM PDT

WOW
Every second 3 pages of posts are filled up and or updated. A topic that was just posted was next found on page 4 after a re-fresh. This is nutz.
