Registration Successful. Thank you for participating!

That took me an hour to get. The white screen means nothing. It is now 9:30pm and I started at 8:25pm. GOOD LUCK

are you an idiot! everyone is getting the white page because too many people are on the same server at one, you even could have read ANY of the earlier posts...about all of them complain about the white screen and why its happening... n00b


Sir/Madam? Are you referring to me?

If so, you have made a great mistake. I know all about this problem, and am merely stating that before we just got a blank screen, which showed that Microsoft just wanted to cut down on their bandwidth usage. In the case that I specified, I was stating that the server is just flat out down. In other words, it is offline. And is completely inaccessable.

"Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will"

this is starting to make me mad....the final page just wont load and bnet wont even load half the time

It won't let me register!


I go to http://www.halo3.com
Then click the "Enlist Now" button
It takes me to the "Register for Halo 3" page. (North America... I'm in Canada)
Then I click the "Click here to continue" link...

It tries to get me here --> https://reg.msgamestudios.com/default.aspx?site=Halo3Teaser

dosn't go through

A page comes up that says...

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address. "

I am connected to the internet, or else I wouldn't be here.
I doubt the website is encountering problems because other people can register.
and I clicked a link on a page, so there is no way I could type the address wrong.

anyone have any ideas?

Question: Can we still register if we do not yet have an Xbox 360 and/or are not yet 17, but will be by the time the beta releases?

I have been trying to register for 4 hours, and the furthest I have gotten is the page with the Live ID login, after that it kept freeving. Now I can't get past the 1st page. This sucks.

sorry if i sound like a noob (i kinda am to these forums), but where is this info posted?
:edit: i registered before on a site that looks like the legit one, but i dont have the cookies from then to check, if i re-register just to be shure, will that hurt my chances to be selected?

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

so the big problem people are having is its not showing up. i got in after about 2hours of doing that, so just be patient and you'll get oyur cahnce. i think th ebest reason for this would probably be to many people trying to access this site at once, afterall i no WE ALL WANT IN

It was lagging like hell, but I kept refreshing and retrying on both IE and Mozilla, and finally I got in and registered. It should give you a page to fill in all your information, then if it submits successfully, it will say "Thank you for registering!" or something like that.

i was thinking the same thing. How will Bungie get in contact with is we are selected AND how will we even get the Beta??

  • 12.04.2006 8:36 PM PDT

There are a lot of questions being asked here and it seems that most of us all have the same few...so I would just like to say I would appreciate probably a little news topic on as much info Bungie can let out about how we'll be informed if we get to play the Beta, when we might be informed...how many? Future Chances? Among others. It should also address those who have had registration problems to clear up anything that people might be complaining about...

how do we know if we're chosen or not? will we get an email, or will we get notified via xbox live on the 360?

Man, this is frustrating... I've been at this for over an hour, and after I enter in my info, I get the white page that has "Privacy Statement" and "Terms of Use" on it. And that's it. I guess I haven't fully registered, huh?

same here, but i think that means we did it right...
now to my next question:
WHEN AND HOW WILL WE FIND OUT IF WE'RE ACCEPTED FOR THE BETA?

...such an exciting, yet utterly confusing process :D:D:D
