Someone please tell me that there isn't a disquarlification for regestering twice!?!

My internet has been going in and out for the last few weeks now. While registering, I got all the way to the last page (finally) and clicked "Submit" only to get the "Refresh" page.
So I assume it didn't go through and thought that there might be more to it. So I re-entered everything only to find that the "Submit" buttton was the Last step! Now I have two seprate e-mails confirming my registrations.

It's an honest mistake. But am I screwed? :(

does the fact that I was one of the original xboxLIVE beta testers back in christ... '03? or was it fall of '02? better my chances of being selected for the first wave of halo 3 beta testers?

I Signed up it took about an hour to do so but all you have to do is keep refreshing then you will eventually get a good connection.
You know if youve registered when it says Registration Successfull. Thank you for registering. Visit Bungie.net

So are they saying that if you signed up you are guaranteed? It says that all who want to participate will have the opportunity...

  • 12.05.2006 7:26 AM PDT

You are guaranteed the *chance* to participate, at least for now.

To quote KP's news item: "This is phase one. There will be more ways to enter the beta program, so don't panic. We will try to ensure that everyone who wants to participate has the opportunity to do so."

If you don't make it yet, relax, you'll have another chance. It's not like you won't be able to play the game at all if you miss the beta. And remember, betas are to test the gameplay and ensure the experience isn't one-sided. It's not just for bragging rights and to find ways to unfairly beat the players who missed the opportunity.

Howcome us Brits have to enter a lame competition on a community site when all the US members have to do is fill a form in? This is favouritism if you ask me, or Xenophobia.
(apologies for any offence caused but i'm sooooooooo pissed off, this is Halo 3 damnit)

Hey guys just to let you know Halo 3 will be probobly released march 2007 have you seen the xbox 360 commercial ''cobs and robbers'' there is an easter egg in that look at the cars register plates the first ones has ''GOW 1106'' meaning gears of war being released in november 2006 whic was true and the second one ''HAL O307'' whic would probably mean that Halo 3 will be released in MARCH 2007!!! look at the commercial yourself it's an official commercial of microsoft so its probobly true...

Mr Radium

I feel soo bad, Im sitting here, with possibly everything an average guy would want. But i still would want nothing more, that to simply see the halo 3 menu. I am so utterly excited, i squirm in class thinking about the campaign, what it is that's going to shock us all. I LOVE YOU BUNGIE!

If you are born to be shot, you won't drown. Jump in!

This sign up page experience is absolutely dreadful.

First, I had been trying to get to it for ours on my Mac. Finally I decided to boot into Windows (thank you Intel Macs!). I, of course, used FireFox and the same thing occurred. I just assumed the damn thing wasn't working at all so I switched back to OS X and thought I'd try later in the day.

In the afternoon, I tried again. Same thing the damn thing wouldn't work so I started going to various Halo sites to see what the deal was. Someone at HIH figured out you have to use Explorer and that it works. Well, yes that is the only way to get through the process ... but calling it "working" is still not accurate.

Each page took literally minutes too load, with no feedback. It just looks like the page has broken. Then minutes later something happens. So, after about 10 minutes of filling out the various pages and waiting for said various pages to load I get to the Submit button.

I am relieved I am finally done. I hit Submit and again ... NOTHING happens!!! 3 minutes later the page loads but there is almost nothing on it. Just two little links about legal stuff. No "Congratulations," no "Thank you," ... nothing!

So ... am I signed up? I guess I am. Not sure.

If I had known earlier in the day that I was supposed to be using Windows and Explorer would I be earlier in the cue and a better chance of being involved in the beta? I don't know!

I am sure MS set this page up. Even though it's all about Bungie's game I refuse to believe that the Bungie folks could make such a disasterous experience.

However, I think Bungie has responsibility to two things:
1) Communicate to us and let us know if we are signed up. I am still not confident from everything I read.
2) Or ask us to sign up again. I would do so know but I read somewhere on that site not to sign up twice.

I've registered but does that mean that I'll get to play the Beta?

If not, then why?

If so then why must I register?
