If you only count 11 ninjas, look behind you

Still waiting for bungie or frankie to clarify on this
Anyone who purchases the upcoming Xbox 360 game “Crackdown” will get automatic entry into the Halo 3 beta. If you have a Crackdown disc you’ll be able to activate and download the beta once it goes live next Spring.

So is it a guarntee that we get in the beta or is it specially marked boxs?

Mr Radium

I think this is the best strategy for beta testing...honeslty....how awesome is that.... microsoft-"Hey guys!!.. Buy crackdown and get into halo3 beta FO SHIZZLE"...
general public- "ZOMG CRACKDOWN???!? OMFGWTFBBQ IS THAT??!?!?! OH I DONT CARE!!! HALO3 !!!....."
microsoft-"SUCCESS!!!"

honestly...who WOULDNT pay 50-60 bux for a generally good looking game and HALO3 MULTIPLAYEr....i'd happily pay twice that amount....good job microsoft...you hit us all where it hurts....i give you my thumbs up ^.^

Ha ha ha, they are really getting silly now.
...bladee-blah...
"...and a Zune!"
"So by the time they actually get the real Halo3 in November, they will have already spent, oh, $1700 on unrelated merchandise?"
"They'll do it."
"Yeah, they will."
"Crying in gratitude."



Dude, if writing a check to Bungie and/or MGS for $1,700 would get me into that beta I'd sign over a check right this second.

Unfortunately, I think both Bungie and MS have too much dignity to allow this.


Hah! there is still time...

Ah, look at the lonely people...

Heading down to the gameshop to preorder my copy of Crackdown within two hours...

I don't even want the game, I just want Halo 3 BETA. So, I suppose that Microsoft's epic marketing maneuver has suceeded.

What about us Canadian gamers. I saw that only the American gamers will have access to the Feb 3 hour play thing. Will this be available for Canadians as well and what kind of numbers will we have to compete with?

I play about 3 to 4 hours of halo on xbox live a day, I uses the forums, and check the update every week. The only thing is, I use 2 gamertags on Xbox Live and play different amounts on each. One gamertag I have over 7300 games played on, I hope thats enough to get me in as a beta tester.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

I demand you guys to take the age limit off. It's totally unnecessary and ageist.

What I'm wondering is if we have to be in actual matchmaking gameplay for three hours. If a game lasts 12 minutes on average, that's 15 games. Not that bad but, people sometimes just don't have the time to play Halo for an hour a day. Oh well, Crackdown looks pretty sweet though it might suck if they have to use Halo 3 to sell it.

  • 01.03.2007 12:42 PM PDT

Getting Crackdown=Cheap Way of getting Beta

...but it's better than having no chance of playing the beta, like me.

Sorry kid, but that's why they have an age limit--to keep people from just having fun. They want people that actually give feedback.

More than likely, there will be a Microsoft Code inside the game case. Once you put this code in, you'll be prompted to download the beta (when it's released). This is how a lot of free stuff is given away on XBLM. The codes are one-time-use only. There will be a lot of employees at GameFly getting into the Beta for free...

...that is unless they have a contest to give away beta entries.

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

Does the beta come with only specially marked copies of crackdown, or does it come with every copy of crackdown?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.
