So I could just create a Custom game, & set the round limit to 1 hour. Then do that 2 more times, which adds up to 3 hours???

I'm stumped.

Or, perhaps, you could start a custom game with no time limit, and set an alarm for 3 hours and start it after you start the game (to ensure that the full 3 hours is acquired) then, when it is done, exit game and wait for the sign in page on halo3.com.

This says Canada:

""The "Rule of Three" program is currently planned for gamers (17 years and older) in the 50 United States (includes District of Columbia) and Canada who have access to an Xbox 360 Pro console or an Xbox 360 Core console with hard drive, a valid Xbox Live Gold subscription and the Halo 2 game."

So does that mean that if I do this and I'm in Canada, I'll get in? Or does this mean that there will be a different gameplay window specifically for Canada?

Could you please stop saying "consult your xbox.com site for how this will work internationally"; THERE IS NO RULE OF THREE PROGRAM INTERNATIONALLY

The rule of three ONLY APPLIES TO THE US AND CANADA, and constantly saying "look at xbox.com" only gives false hope to thousands./

So. Please stop it?

man, are you retarded? if we don't have access to the beta program, then we all have to wait until next fall (hopefully) to play ANY halo 3. offering the beta is a reward to halo fans. you don't think bungie has anything better to do than the programming it's gonna take to implement this? they are going out of their way to give us a sample of what they have so far. another nice thing is that the community gets to give feedback about what we would like in the final version, thats pretty tight if you ask me. obviously they can't just make it available to every single person who wants to check it out on a whim. it would allow people who don't know anything about halo to contribute feedback, plus the more people playing the more problems, cheaters, and overall maintenance to deal with. it would pull way too much of bungie's attention from finishing "pimps at sea"
p.s. you don't know shnit about the wu-tang clan or the slums of shaolin - poser

I've been here longer then my profile says. Halo fan since combat evolved.


Hi world; I just need to say that bungie rules over all, I just wanted to know if the rule of three program would be accessible to people who live in H.K., and do you know if "crack down" will have the beta when it comes out in HK?

How come I keep getting told to check my local xbox.com site and it never ever has any information?

And I thought those laws that apply to contests only apply when the prizes have monetary value.

Ok I still don't understand one thing here. It says register on the 5th after playing 3 hours of halo 2. How exactly does someone tell how many hours you've played on xbox live if you're email address that you register with is not connected to you're xbox live gamertag? Does the email address that you use to register for the beta have to be somehow connected to you're xbox live gamertag? This is not clear in the update.

So you don't register until after the three days?? You have to be the first 13333 to register, but not the first 13333 to play three hours of Halo 2. That makes no sense. Halo3.com is going to be jammed up on the fifth with so many people registering at once.


Same question. Many people, including me, have asked similar ones but no one has answered any of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Frankie,

Does age count for anything? None of my group of Over Age 50 buddies have lucked in to an invite so far. We've been playing regularly every Tuesday Night for more than a year. Maybe some of the original adult video gamers from the 70's would have something unique to offer in the Halo 3 Beta. Couldn't hurt.

Soon, more boomers will be attracted to the Halo Nation. Please let some of the elderly help you retain their interest.

I can provide the GT's of each of my buddies. Guaranteed over 50 and some over 60, including a recently joined female. Woot!

I never thought I'd stoop to groveling, but that is what Halo has done to me. I don't regret it a bit.

Thanks for your attention.

I hope I get the Beta Test for the second phase. If not it's off to EB Games for me.
