This isn't merely a sneak peak at Halo 3 we're talking about. This is a one time experience that you might will talk about for years. Seriously, like all those people who claim they were at Woodstock.
This isn't just a "demo," as some have called it. It's a beta. It involves understanding requests, following through and properly submitting feedback. Then as reward you get to see a bit of how the process of refinement works. For many of us this is our first ever glimpse at game development.
So, all the spoil sports out there, just buy the game at full release, but don't ruin the fun of the experience for the rest of us.
Its not a once in a life time experience, you'll be experiencing a hell of a lot come the actual release. You say its not a demo...
demo /de'moh/ 1. A demonstration of a product, often of an early version or prototype. A demo is a far more effective way of inducing bugs to manifest themselves than any number of test runs, especially when important people are watching.
Jees, erm, that sounds a lot like the Halo beta. First glimpse at game development? The game will be almost fully developed by the time the beta comes out, all they'll be changing is how the network and matchingmaking options work, none of the 'core' game will be changed.
P.S. i actually think crackdown looks like one hell of a fun game :)
