The thing about this that irks me (aside from being 11-14 hours late in opening the registration) is that we'll receive our confirmation notice "in February"......WHEN in February!!! This will drive me mad...I'll have my email open 24/7 until I get an email or I find out someone else did...



FEBRUARY 11TH THROUGH THE 17TH

Looks like the smoke has finally cleared. The registration page is loading a lot faster now. But I doubt any spots are left - Microsoft probably just let as many register as they can, and they'll let them off the easy way (or the hard way) by just not sending them an email.

why do all of you guys think that it filled up so fast. most people didn't even know about phase two....and what makes you think that the east coast got to go first? remember just because its 3 hours earlier over there doesn't mean that it opened up to them three hours earlier. Actually, I know that it didn't. I just can't believe that there was no significance to the time. Not 12pm or am, no "3's" in the time, nothing!!! Well, I got in at 12pst, so i hope im good. luckily i was at school because my computer at home doesnt show the link, i tried to have my do it and the link is invisible (although if you move cursor over the section you can click), this was the same for my friends mac labtop. thats bs!


Oh, and hey monkey, good to see you still on. Hey, my gamertag is Psych 201, you should add me on to your friends, I mean, after last night, I know you better than my brother!

Hey guys I just looked and looks like registration is closed... By the way when I signed up I filled out all the information and when I clicked finish or next or whatever the last button was and I got taken to a page with the halo3.com link.... Was this good or was it bad. Anyone else get this?

i printed my final page out. I dont have it on hand, but i think it just directed me to log out. well im sure it did, but I think that that was it.

And the halo3 opening page is now different. It says what it said last night, but the next page still says its open. im taking this as a good sign that the 13,333 just finished up now. But it wouldnt be as good as not filling up at all, I guess.

After I registered, I got a page that said "Thank you for registering" and a link back to Halo3.com. And I think registration is closed now, cause the blue Registration link on the info page on Halo3.com leads to a page that just says "Registration is no longer active" or something like that.

Jeez man im actually gonna miss you guys, its been really really fun. I bet you i got in, omg i think i got in, but seriously im sure you did too. I want you dudes to add Krippler to your friends. I hope i will frag you soon in the beta. ok, im gonna go brag to all my friends who have no clue that this even occured, but are halo 2 fanatics and have a 360. lol SUCKAZ. Anyhow, goodbye...

P.S. 1:17 was the time it opened. Have you ever read the Halo books? No? How bout the end of Halo 2:

"This is spartan 117" 117 = 1:17. Good call whoever called it. I noticed it was on one of the watch times.

FAREWELL :-D

I can't believe I didn't guess 1:17. I should've gone to bed last night a long time before 3:33....

yeah, seriously. last night sucked, but we did some bonding, no? and unlike my other online halo experiences, no one even talked -blam!-. so the brainwave dude, Krippler, moneymike, tigershark, kaisonic, and anyone else that remembers me (and my very very mean pranks claiming that I had gotten in-you remember me if your heart stopped there). hit me up with a friend request, we already have this bonding experience!!!

Has any 1 that registered gotten an E-mail confirmation? I know that the winners are announced on the 11-??.

  • 02.05.2007 7:56 PM PDT

Not Today Buddy, Not Today

If registration is close does that mean the people who signed in before it close are in?

Not necessarily. Winners are notified in the week of Feb. 11-17.

And amen to what you said, Psych. Hit me up on XBL sometime - LaverniusTucker is me - I know I'll either forget your name or just forget to get off my lazy ass and do it.

hey Frakie, i've been a Halo fan since it first came out, and i recently just got live(10 days ago) , and i'm trying to be a lot more active in Halo/Bungie community, and so i tried going through the second phase of the Rule of Three program. Needless to say, it didn't work. i put in 9 hours of matchmaking on my 360, and on February 5th, i went to www.halo3.com at 12:01, and it wouldn't let me register, and then i waited another 12 hours and tried again and it wont let me, and i tried recently today (the 5th) and i still can't get it to work, so if there is a way you could help me to udnerstand why i couldnt register myself, that would really help.

ps. i'm still gonna try for crackdown and get beta that way.

it looks like crackdown is going to be our best bet to get beta. I hope every one on this subject get selected. That would be nice....
