lf l see one more thread about how "Lucky l am" because l got in the beta, or "Are you made you're not in the beta?" l'm going to go nuts.

l can't stand it. l don't want to be in the beta. Betas are never pretty - the game isn't finished, it's spoiling everything for me, and l'd rather just wait for the game to come out, completed, and play it in its entirety.

But my opinion isn't what this is about. l'm sure most people would agree, but almost every other thread is about the stupid beta. lt's worse then spam! Please, just.... stop. We don't care. l'm not flaming, and l know a bunch of dicks are going to post here saying something sarcastic like, "Life sucks, deal with it," or,"Just ignore them," OR, "Last time l checked, your opinion doesn't mean jack." Yeah, well, l'm prepared. But l needed to get it off my chest. lt's incredibly annoying, and l thought l'd bother you all with a rant. Thanks for listening. Flame away.

There's a very easy way out of this. Don't go to the Halo 3 forum.

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

With all the Beta threads, the Halo 3 board is beginning to go into mass chaos. It's virtually making the board inaccessible and it's just filling up with the same threads over and over.

I wish the moderators would clean up the place a bit.

But some people like the Halo 3 forum. What are they to do?

I am getting kind of annoyed with "I waz picked 4 the beta" threads sinking actual discussion threads but I'm thinking that half of that annoyance is just me being bitter.

Sir_brilliant, I think the problem he's speaking of it that all the threads saying "Who got in?", "I got in! Yay!" and "M$ sucks, I didn't get in!" etc. are suffocating the forum. A couple of threads I saw not long ago are all at the bottom of page 2 now.

First of all, it isn't really a beta. It will basically be a finished product. I'll explain why i think so, and no, I'm not speaking for what bungie is doing.

Every copy of Crackdown comes with the halo3 beta code. That's because everyone will be able to download it if they like. Proof here

Therefore, everyone will get to play. This is not an accident. Microsoft marketing has spent much time developing a 'grand scheme' of sorts to do as much as they could to pump as much out of halo3 as possible.

If its not a beta, then what is it, you ask? Let me ask you this: how many glitches and problems are there with halo2? Hundreds. People are still finding them these days. Its impossible to get them all, even with a crack QA team. There's only so many manhours that can be put in.

So why not get the fans to do it? You get them to get the demo (however possible), play it, and send back any info on stuff you find. That way, you are helping to make sure that the gameplay online is as complete as possible, and at the same time get to play the halo3 beta.

Is there a problem with it? No. If your sick of hearing people say they got their invitation, whoopdee frickin do. So what. Play halo2 for 3 days straight and sign up on the 5th. Buy Crackdown. But don't complain about someone else's happiness, regardless of how useless it may seem to you.

Eh? What do you mean, "beginning"?

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Uhhh, what sir_brilliant said really.

Brilliant! (sorry I had too)


I for one actually want to get in the beta, but if you personally don't then don't get offended by everyone else who is crazy about it.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I was kind of thinking that this could fall under the "this is not your blog" rule. I could personally care less if someone got in or didn't but it is choking the good threads in the forum.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Why not make one thread about it, and make people go there to announce it if they want. Then just lock all other threads. That's what they do for other topics, but I don't know if that really works, since I usually don't go to the Halo 3 forum.

Just a thought.

I lock any threads that say "I got into the beta, did you?", not because they're off topic, but just pointless and there's loads of them already.

Why not create a thread called 'Boast about Getting Into H3 Beta here!'
That'd save forum space.

If that were the case, it would be a Halo 3 multiplayer demo. Not a Halo 3 multiplayer beta.

Ok. Better idea. Look at those threads and say to yourself: "Hey topic creator... I don't care! ^_^" then continue on with your daily Halo 3 forum activities.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

What is this beta everyone is talking about?

Considering your current state of mental anguish about said beta topics, it would appear as though living under a rock would be preferable.

You just made a very powerful enemy, Jeremiah, or Ninja, or whatever the hell your name is these days.

WAIT! I just got it. Jereninja 0n Miah. That's it. It mixes the best of both worlds, and rolls it into one big glob, wraps it in a doughy layer of Hammernutzen, and then of course, it's deep-fried and wrapped in bacon.

P.S. - Cake is better.

I think Jeremiah is still on fire... he just doesn't go around bragging about it anymore. Good call (b'_')b..

Halo 3 Beta??? What be ye talkin' 'bout? j/k. Well, I never go to the Halo 3 Forum, I usually can't stand all the excessive posting. I only get my news from what is posted on the homepage. I really don't want to be on that forum when H3 actually is released to the public.
