I think the "play 3 hours of halo 2 between feb 1 and 3" will just allow more americans to play, as it will start at their time first, and allow them to register first too.

Screenies? When id we get gameplay screenies? link please.
Other than the ones on Bungie's website, they can be found here: http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/imgs_1.html
The pictures of the HUD were in the "Et tu, Brute?" Vidoc. Here's an example:

I see. I'd seen the vidoc but I never watched it with that sharp an eye. I don't know. It may work out well there. I tend to ignore my shield status until it's screaming at me. Of course, I have a general idea where it's at but having it up top could be beneficial.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

Does anybody else realize whats probably going to happen with this crackdown game? They are advertising it on gamestop that it will come with the beta key if you pre order it. Then a bunch of A holes are going to purchase and re-sell on Ebay. I sincerely hope that this doesnt happen Bungie. This should not turn into a money making scheme for people who might not even play the beta. Oh wait, I just looked and somebody already has a buy it now price of 96.00 dollars.

sounds like things are shaping up well in Halo 3 development Frankie

really looking foward to how the cinimatics in halo 3 play out ! Ive got a feeling that this is going to be the most cinimatic halo yet ! with some truly excellent voice work from the actors.

I don't have live yet so I'm still not sure wether i will get to play the beta, which is a shame.

cool update.

Which reminds me, the voice actor for Miranda Keyes is going to be different. That's disappointing, to say the least. Here's a link -
http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/751/751036p4.html
GN TV: Halo 3 is coming next year, and I was curious how you came to be involved in that franchise?

Benz: I actually am only involved in Halo 2. I won't be involved in Halo 3.

IGN TV: Oh. That's what I get for trusting imdb too much.

Benz: No, they called recently and said I will not be… They're changing the voice. Am I allowed to say that?

IGN TV: You're allowed to say that! Because when it comes out, people are going to be mad, so they might as well know now.

Benz: Yeah, they're changing the voice. They're giving her an accent is what they said. I don't know if that's true. That's what I was told. I will not be involved in Halo 3.


Literalpete, I agree entirely. I live in the UK, too.

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

WHAT ABOUT POOR PEOPLE LIKE ME!!! There's no way I'm gonna buy some semi-crappy $60 game soley to get a few numbers and letters for a code because that's RETARDED, do you hear me? Do you wanna know why that's retarded? Because over 50% of people who bought Halo2 are collage students, and it's not like they have a lot of money to go buy a $60 game for a code. What's the *blam*ing use of posting this anyway, Bungie doesn't give a flying *blam* if we're too poor to buy it. Once again rich people win over poor people, YAY!!! Bungie, if you people had any balls at all you'ld tell Microsoft to go screw themselves, that you will not make loyal Halo 2 players pay $60 for a game we won't play, then you'ld earn the respect of just about everybody because nothing would be more satisfying for us than to see a rich guy like Bill Gates get told to shove it. We know Microsoft wants you to make us buy it, it's not like it isn't BLATANTLY OBVIOUS or anything, but it isn't right, you know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

If people are dumb enough to pay $96 for a game that they'll be able to buy in stores or off of any major game retailer website for $60, I say let them.

ive just pre-ordered my copy of crackdown and assured the beta code..yay ^^
but hell a lot of people have a hell of a lot of problem..listen peeps, crackdown is but one way of getting a code, but dont be that desperate to play a beta of halo 3 to make you spend so much money. just hope for the best with the comps and so on..so person complaining about bungie not giving a -blam!-..they have given us plenty of diffrent ways to get into the beta testing so what the feck are ya on about well maybe not tonnes but still hope for the best..and you forget if the game is crap which i do hope it isnt then after the beta ..sell it and get pretty much ya money back..thats if you can do that in the US??..stop taking something so little and pointless to heart and either hope whatever way you choose to get into beta works out if not, await the full game and have it all as a suprise..who cares if its a marketing ploy..its still a choice if you get it or not. wrong of MS but meh there a company like everything else..if you havnt noticed everything tries to add something to anything to improve sales its all with marketing...such as a buy one get one free offer.
well ive finished my rambling, and look forward to the beta and then the full version and kick ass!!

update- woops forgot to mention..halo 3 looks like its really coming on, seeing (bad photos) photos of the US army playing the halo 3 beta on oxm..wonder if the UK army played it too?

I actually did the sign up thing on the halo 3 site and all you do is just sign in your account, but do you have to do that again under February 1 til February 3 with also the 3 hours of halo 2 gaming, or do i just have to play halo 2 for 3 hours and thats it

Usually now people would talk back to this guy that i just quoted here complaining about microsofts scheme in order to get what we want. Also people would just flame this guy complaining because he is saying something a little different then all of us and everyone wants to be everyone, well at least he is being himself. So obviously i wont flame this guy, but i will say in a way that i kind of agree in only what they are doning. I mean yea i have 60 dollars and can buy it so im not complaining too, but Tiki Guy! this is life, and i think that was actually a good idea for microsoft to do. It just helps a gaming company out for them to get some money, of course people are going to buy this game no doubt. Hell i bet all the "poor guys" can just rent the game at the exact time when you need it to get a code ( or maybe it wont work like that but oh well). I guess everyone will just deal with it now wont they

I liked ur update. I wish i was an adult so i could apply to your application but sadly, i am not an adult. My brother, after he goes to the Navy for 4 years and goes to collage is planning to Join The infumus Bungie Team. He has experience with a program called Blender. He himself have figured out a lot of things from specular shading to halo effects. But he has a lot of etermination and I believe he will be part of the team in his lifetime. But, keep up the good work. I'll take ur advice and buy Crackdown for the Beta. Thanks for the Halo fun!

Anyone who wants to try out Blender 3D can go to www.blender.org

Well I did consider flaming him, but it wouldn't have been because he disagreed. It would have been because he stated his disagreement so stupidly.

Im still rather confused about the Halo 3 beta... so even if we signed up for the beta on day one at the halo 3 website, we still need to play three hours of halo 2, and then be one of the first 13,000 onto the site to register?
