that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

OK. we know that fankie, and KP ,and most of the other bungie employies test halo 3 in both MP and SP, but there has to be others that test for glitches (the kind we dont want)
right? I mean I know that each and everyone of you guys want to test, play, whatever. ya...so...how do we get in on the action?

gruntfarmer is a cheeseburger.

Eight out of every six people are Chinese.

i think they only do tests with bungie employees. safer that way.

They have a testing team that are part of Bungie, that stays with them no matter what game they are making. If you wonder, there is no external testing, so wait for the game to come out.

You do know that there are "professional game testers" , no?
That's their job.. some places pay BIG bucks for it too.
They specialize in finding bugs.

yea, I know that both bungie and microsoft test halo 2,3 but I mean I would Think that bungie would want a select few "outside people" to test gameplay/ find glitches and bugs.

I live in Redmond, and when Halo 2 came around employees got to beta test the online part,
The rest is for Proffional testers.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.
