"I love Halo! I love Halo so much I wanna take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant." - Tracy Jordan

Do we have to play 3 hours in a row or all together? Do we have to play ranked or just any matchmaking?

This is for real...and please PM me with a reply if you do reply to this, anyone who does and has the answer, since I'll notice it if you do.

I registered for the beta at halo3.com in early December, several days before my 17th birthday. I turned 17, found out that I was now old enough, and then submitted a registration again. Is it possible that the age barrier will still exist? XboxLive has my correct age stored...also, how much is Crackdown? If I was classified as too young, I want to know if I'll be paying $50 or $60 before I pay $60 or $70 for Halo 3. :)

Re: Alpha test..Just out of curiosity, will clans who have played against Bungie in the Weekly Humpday challenge be invited for this? The Bloodgulch Regs and I are quite willing to participate...and you kicked our rears before so on brand new maps you shouldn't have a problem defeating us again. :)

Holy hell. Thanks Bungie. Now even I don't have the money for a 360 by Feb 20th I'll just buy Crackdown... even though it doesn't interest me.

I really wish they would confirm whether or not it is specially marked boxes of Crackdown, or all Crackdown games.

Because this story:
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12493/Crackdown-to-Include-Halo -3-MP-Beta-Invitation/
still holds that it is specially marked editions. (Yes i realize it was published on the 28th)

I'm really happy they're offering new ways to enter to play halo 3. My 17th birthday is this month and i felt i was going to miss out. but now i have two more chances to enter.

Seriously, Crackdown looks like a pretty sweet game. It looks like spending the money on crackdown is worth it alone, but now we get the beta with it for spring? I'm in... or at least my roommate is :P I'll make him buy it all!

so is it going to be like we actually by a copy of the Halo 3: beta and get a free copy of Crackdown... j/k. but anyways i hope that if i was to walk in to buy Crackdown that it would be available. what im trying to say it that the beta version wouldnt be limited to those who pre-ordered it or got the SpEcIaL copy.

I planned on getting Crackdown, cause it looked pretty good, now however I'm confused. I know Bungie wouldn't do that to fans, I mean make them pay for entry, so that means Microsoft is trying to really boost sales of this game. Do they think it's going to suck or something, cause most people had talked positively about it. Oh well, I guess I'll get a cool game and entrance to the beta.

  • 01.03.2007 1:28 PM PDT

Cool, I planned on getting Crackdown anyways so this is a splendid addition.

HALO 3 BETA...zomg .....i wonder if we'll be able to pick up Halo 3....just as we can play halo 2 now....like...the transition between halo 1 and halo 2.....wasnt that hard...but...i wonder if halo 3's new SETUp is going to throw us off

Well I can say that I won't get into the beta.

1. The chances of me being selected from the original signup are low. 2. I'll be on vacation on the 1-4 of February. and 3. I'm not going to pay $60.00 for a game that I don't like just to be in a beta. I shouldn't have to pay Microsoft to test THEIR game.

dude....if that counts as 3 hours of gameplay....im SOOO INNN

  • 01.03.2007 1:34 PM PDT

From what I can tell that's 3 hours of gameplay. Any suggestion on secondary weapon, I was thinking sniper rifle (to see how many Kilimanjaro's could get racked up)

1st off, crackdown is going to have the most "inflated" sales ever!

2nd, is there going to be some timer in teh corner of the screen that counts down 3 hours for me on feb 1-3? I doubt it, but will there a key you get for playin?

The Original Rambo Beast

And this news is just more in a line of the UK and europe being completely shut out, or better yet sold out. We have heard absolutely NOTHING about the Beta since the original information was released and the whole thing is being terribly handled. Microsoft UK needs to step in and sort it out for us, and Bungie PLEASE FFS GIVE THE UK A CHANCE. This 3 hour thing is only open to US gamers ...what a JOKE

Do tell me how this is awsome. By playing for 3 hours you get a CHANCE to be in the beta.
The other way is by paying $60.00. So either you pay or get a CHANCE.

  • 01.03.2007 1:46 PM PDT

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

This whole thing is so stupid. If you do this and that and spend another $60 on a crappy game you can play in our half %^$ broken beta. Give me a break will ya. I'll give ya 300 MS points to play the beta. If you can't make it any more simple, and not try to pawn off a game I don't want on me (cracktown), then I'll just wait till the game comes out without glitches and bugs. I'd be willing to help but not at the cost and all the stipulations attached. No THANK YOU !!!

I certainly hope there will be more ways to get in. Because at this rate it looks like the ones that pay will be the ones that play.
