I think that the reason they are making a "Demo" big deal out of a little Beta is because its part of their PR machine, getting us all rev'd up e'n tho it's still a year away, other than that, no real reason to publicize it so much.

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

READ THIS BUNGIE
I don't care if you say 'don't freak out,' I AM!!! I'm almost 17 yrs., which means currently I won't get to play the Beta version. The age limit thing is POINTLESS, for example, there's massive pile of kids under 17, myself included, who play Halo on XBL, an M rated game, because NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO AGE LIMITS!!! The only reason age limits are on games is so that sheltered little kids who still get their asses wiped by their parents wherever they go don't play games with '-blam!-' or with people getting their achilles tendons sliced off because it will screw with their minds. I've seen my friend get his arm cut off in a boating accident, and I will be god-damned if you think for one second I'm too immature to see computer-generated blood on a screen. Bottom line: you better get rid of that age limit before I go insane and start raising hell.

I agree, sorry about that everyone. Bungie should consider that.

  • 12.06.2006 8:16 PM PDT

I'm guessing here, but I think the age limit is mandatory because the game is rated M by the ESRB. Bungie would probably get suede if they didn't enforce the age limit. Personally I think it's a good thing, I wouldn't want 12 year old brats telling bungie what they should or shouldn't do to improve the game, it's a beta not a demo.

  • 12.06.2006 8:46 PM PDT

Welcome all to the wonderful world of Halo. Feel free to find me online at anytime...I always willing to play with new faces.

Well it seems there is a lot of confusion about this issue. The only thing I can say is that a confirmation e-mail would have been nice. Other than that I think the application process was quite painless.

After "multiple" attempts, the process finally went through and I have been registered... it says "Registration Complete" and mentioned for me to visit Bungie.net. It seems to me that a white screen or an erroneous screen does not mean you are registered.

I've heard from multiple sources that early registration DOES NOT mean that you are guaranteed or have a better shot at being selected for the beta.

Not sure about a confirmation email (I did not receive one nor do I know anyone who has).

They could be collecting address and personal information for verification (to match the MS Passport info / 360 registration) and / or marketing purposes.

I don't foresee them mailing ... I could see them offering it as a download with a special emailed key or something. Perhaps that's why you need a 360 with a HD.
