Subject: Halo 3 Beta forum practically lost.

F&F halo3beta inivite for me? everyone knows josh wayne i am ur friend.. might as well be family thanks

  • 05.16.2007 10:29 AM PDT

granted these guys are being fools posting on the beta forum like that, but I could only imagine my outrage, I mean what other way can they 'let' anyone know?? granted bungie isn't going to make it any faster cuz these guys are complaining, but I'd be right along with them if I didn't get in with the rule of 3 registration. THAT suxxx so bad for them, none of them deserve to get banned and I would be very sad to see that, just lock threads.

I MEAN these guys have been waiting a long time, I know I have, it was like christmas to me this morning. how sad that may be, its true. AND delaying christmas is always a bad idea.

Anyway, just my thoughts

What happen to the "being VERY ruthless." by Recon



I honestly dont think all of the ninjas put together could keep up with the volume of idiocy spewing forth from that forum.

It's like trying to kill a Hydra, take one head down, and two more take it's place. Or in our case: Lock one topics and 25 new ones pop up. Ban one idiot, and 30 more will take it's place.

*am sad ninja*


I would be happy to help !!!!!!!

Can't wait to use the BANHAMMER

Man you just don't get it crackdown or not some of us wanted the beta not that -blam!- ass grand theft auto wannabe game. I want my halo, I was a good enough fan to shell out 60 dollars to play for a month now i am getting ripped off. Because clearly i would not of got that game if it was not for the beta and yes we are paying for the beta when it is advertised on the cover of the game and is the main selling point for that game. Please bungie give us sumthin to chew on the world is hungry and they need there cheif.

P.s I'll never lose faith in you guys but please gears of war is a little old now.

1. Regardless of why you purchased Crackdown, that is exactly what you got. That is what you spent the money on. People buying the game for other reasons doesnt justify them acting like asses on the forums.

2. The beta was only supposed to last for three weeks, not one month. Only the people who received Friends & Family invites get to play longer. (Obviously, Bungie's internal playtesters are exempt from these time constraints.)

3. The beta is being served from Microsofts servers (I'm not 100% on this). I would assume that since the F&F invitees were able to download and play the beta that the problems with the Crackdown beta are 100% Microsoft.

Why should anyone have sympathy for anyone who wasted money on a game they didn't want, to play some beta? I'm sure they appreciate such a thing, but... that's flatout your own fault. Crackdown is a fine game, but if you didn't like it and you didn't want it ... well, you shouldn't have bought it. You ripped yourself on that one, my friend. That's like paying $80 for Guitar Hero II, just to hear Freebird.

I wonder if he realises that no one here is carring what he has to say. If any complaining is being done here, it is about the people that are complaining now about the beta, and that 2 minutes after the September 25th launch will be complaining that either their store is sold out and they couldn't buy the game or about some aspect of the game they don't like.

Personally, this is not the END OF THE WORLD. Armagedon is not apon us. The Four Horse Men of the Apocolypse are not riding through your back yard. So, just because your life is ruined by this, don't try to ruin everyone elses. Thats just selfish.

It's almost impossible to sort any useful information out the accompanying BS. I did enjoy the "Try and spell 'Crackdown Sucks' using your elbows..." thread. Can we have a super secret forum for intelligent discussion guarded by ninjas and migdets with jetpacks?

I'll keep it short and sweet, if you search enough threads you will see plenty of quotes in multiple sites of xbox whether it be the
AU, GB, or US site advertising to hurry now and get your key to halo3 beta by buying crackdown b4 its too late.. etc etc .. I mean Ive read at least three strong lined quotes pushing crackdown as teh 'key' to halo 3 beta, if xbox is going to market something in that way, they need to make sure they can provide, but that is old news it didnt happen, there biggest screw up imo...? puttin a clock countdown on there... hyped too many people up. I bought crackdown reguardless for two reasons, semi amusing game, guarantee to the beta if I didnt get into contest. The question is where is teh damage control ? These forums are set up for just that and the last time we heard from anyone solid containing an answer as to what is going on , or anything they could give us as a time frame.. at 522 pacific 822 est ... was teh last time we had heard anything about this today isn't that a little ridiculous considering teh thousands of people in possesion of the so called "key" to h 3 beta?

I think whichever mod(s) is/are in the Halo 3 Beta forum should be far more ruthless. There's a lot of jerks in there, saying a lot of obscene things.

yeah and not to mention everyone saying the same exact things with the same sob stories that nobody cares about : / it makes me think that if their were a city dedicated to all the fans of halo and they lived their it would like like one of the cities from gears of war all destroyed and everything and ghostly all because they didnt get their little halo 3 beta which is FREE since nobody told htem they had to buy crackdown their was like 3 ways to get into the beta they chose to buy the game thats their problem and yeah they do act like its the end of the world like a few hours out of a 3 week period is going to kill them its rediculous and also crackdown is a good game me and my friends just run around the city jumpin off stuff and launching off the ramp truck and then chasing each other around town playing tag lol but they all seriously act like Bungie owed them the beta that they are actually privaliged to play and i think its bull -blam!- they all complain for something they have been given the honor in participating i mean being able to brag to all your friends that you were int he halo 3 beta while they were busy playing twilight princess or resistance is priceless because even if some of them dont like microsoft they still like halo and will be like dude you suck lucky bastard so isnt bragging rights and the ability to even play the game at all before its even released good enough of a reward for almost doing nothing? and if you bought crackdown just for the beta and you disagree with this then you should open your eyes to how the world really is YOU DONT ALWAYS GET YOUR WAY

Fall back to the keep! We've lost the north wall! Fall back to the keep!

I think the mods just need to be less Human while in that forum. Stop being lenient and unleash some blacklistings. People will get the idea, and if they don't, more blacklistings!

There is some really vulgar, hateful discussion going on in there.

I agree. Show some muscle.

At first the beta forum was pretty decent. I see that it has grown to be simmiler to the H3 forum. Mods we ask for your help. do us all a favor...
