Just wondering if Halo 3 will do something similar to Halo 2's massive beta test? And how would a Hardcore Bungie/Halo fan sign up to take part in this?

Anyone who has participated before, or a mod who knows of this posting here would be much appreciated, thanks =D

Im not 100% sure, but i think the beta testing is reserved to internal trusted associates who have signed some very strict contracts.

If you don't know how to get into the beta test, you weren't meant to do so.

13. In the course of the large beta test program Bungie is conducting on Halo 2, it is inevitable that some jerk will take pictures of the game and sneak them onto the internet. Considering that these images, or any information that is released with Bungie's expressed consent is considered a breach of the responsible party's nondisclosure agreement, users found discussing these materials may find their posts deleted without warning. Further incursions, such as the posting of or linking to these pieces of information may result in that user's account being blacklisted. To make it simple: Do not post links to or discuss leaked beta information and images.

Haha sounds like a plan..I'll take some pics and post them up on myspace...Halo 3 menu with me next to it and a big thumbs up...then send them to all my 360less friends. Hehe.

Speaking of pictures, are the 360 webcams out yet? How much are they? I already see "add picture to message" when I try to send one on my 360..

I do believe they make you sign a contract that prevents you from talking about what you have seen along with taking pictures. I had to sign one when I went on the Beta version of City of Villains last year which was pointless because they opened it up to people that pre-ordered the next day.

It is very unlikely that your friend got to beta test because he would not haved to siqn any contracts and they wouldn't have any leverage over him if he told any information on the game except that his father worked there. That is why kids are not hired for beta tests much to my dismay as i am only 13 years old. And you have to be 18 to legaly sign a contract.

I'm pretty sure Halo 2's beta-testing was for MS employees only (sadly :( ).

Ya it was only for various Microsoft employees. One of my family friends was on the test team, he even got his name in the credits. He told me it was only MS employees and a select few VIPs (such as a couple members of Linkin Park for example). On a side note how he's on the team responsible for the Halo2 backwards compatibility for the 360.
