To mflat:

They probably said you need a 360 with a HD, because the beta is for mutliplayer and not single player, and since you an HD to play online anyways, there is still a possibility that we won't get it via xbox live.

I just thought I would share this with everyone. I Blacked out the Gamertags, and underlined in blue the "Pimps at Sea" Just thought some people out there would actually want to "SEE" it too.

I mean, isnt there some way for them to tell us our odds of actually getting in on the beta test, it's kinda cruel giving alot of gamers the hope that they'll get to play the game with the biggest hype yet. I only hope that the majority if not all the players who signed up get to play because disapointing a fanbase like that can hurt your franchise and the hype it receiving, I personally would get annoyed.

Bungie please let the public know how many of us will be actually be able to play the beta and if we're just getting our hopes a little too high, and our fingers a little too trigger itchy.

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.



Hey, no one cares about your opinion on if adolescents should be allowed in the beta. Honestly, do you really think the FCC is going to change their laws because you want them to? You have no say, because you are not an adult.

Stop worrying so much about playing video games, and do something ACTIVE while you are still young. And no ACTIVE does not consist of you moving your thumbs a lot. Play a sport and stop being so concerned about video game laws. Your best friends shouldnt be people over the internet that you've never met. They should be the people on your baseball team or the other children. loser.

It's sad that about 20-30 years from now our country will be ran by a bunch of people with social anxiety.

===HOW TO KNOW IF YOU SIGNED UP INTO BUNGIE'S HALO 3 BETA===
If you signed up and then go back into the same page to sign in again, it will give you an option to cancel registration. It will also allow you to update your registration info, but you can no longer input your 360's serial number if you didn't do it the first time. ( I know by personal experience.)

So now that we are all signed up, what are we waiting for... I got no email, and there is no Current Status page. What are we waiting for.. a friend invite on live or an email. That is all I want to know. What should I be looking for so i can circle it like a vulture.

I think that beta testers should be picked for people who are not levels 40-50 because most of them cheated to get those levels. Even though I am a level 23 player I play with out using mods or cheap combos. I also think tht Bungie should choose players who have a history of clean gaming and the selection should be random as well as having bungie game makers talk to the hopeful beta testing applacents. or at least e-mail them

I think the whole "beta" idea in everywhere outside the Us could and should have been handled alot better. Making it so they only way to get into the beta is through a 3rd party sites is, kinda shows that its more a demo than a beta. What happens if someone wins 2 codes from different sites? EBAY!!! something which MS could have prevented by automatically unlocking the download to certian gamertags instead of providing download codes.

To make things worse users in some countries have little or no chance of winnng a chance. In the example of Ireland, there were no irish sites given codes. Instead they were given to British sites and some of them are asking for postcodes when entering the competitions. The majority of ireland doesnt have a postcode!

As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way I (in Australia) can get the beta is by winning a competition on xbox.com.au...

That kinda sucks. Last time I heard Australia had the highest ratio of Xbox's!

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

you cant cheat on a 360


Oh, I wouldn;t be so sure of that. People will always find ways to cheat. I guarantee you 100% that there wil be cheaters in Halo 3.

This may be more true. Thopguh the community for the beta will be quite large, it will be much smaller than the overal Halo 2 population. They will have an easier time banning cheaters. They may even be able to get Microsoft to delete their tags. It will also allow them to find many of the ways that people cheat and prevent it in the final version.
