Holy Crap Halo 3 Beta!! *downloading*

[TheGhost]

Welcome to the Bungie Friends & Family Halo 3 Beta!

Instructions for installing and launching the beta are below:

It's downloading right now. It's just under a gig, so it'll probably be a few more minutes.

Ahhh!! I'll update you guys as I can. *giddy*

EDIT:

Some really nice music in the UI as well.

[Patrickssj6]

Dumdum?

you and korn should have a 1v1:p

[Kornman00]

/me buys 2 360s and plays with self

[k4is3rxkh40s]

This reminds me I need to trade in a shat load of games so I can get crackdown and the beta :(
(IF Theyre still offering it)

Hehehe.

Ghost, let's try getting in a playlist together.

Also, and sorry Korn:

" Please note that the Halo 3 beta only supports Matchmaking play over Xbox Live. You will not be able to play any custom games or play in offline/system link matches. You can, however, play with a friend in split-screen games in the Social playlists."

D:

[TheGhost]

All right, I'll be back later with pics hopefully. Be back in an hour or two! =)

Lucky Devils.

[Pred1ator]

betas out? cool, il cya guys in may 16 :D

[Kornman00]

oh, sorry lightning but I can pay for another XBL account. Might have to anyway if I want to get a H2VDedi...

[xExus]

Oh that explains all!

http://www.bungie.net/stats/default.aspx

I though it was just bungie there playing it.

[thehoodedsmack]

Ghost, would it be against any NDA for posting those? If not, let's see some more! Maybe a video or two? Or maybe upload the UI music. Let's all share in the experience!

[Kornman00]

:lol: its a PUBLIC beta man of course its not against any NDA because he never signed one for the public beta :)

[InnerGoat]

So anyone around here own a HD capture card? :awesome:

[Bossniak]

Lol. I got a code but no 360. I'll give it to a friend if I can. :p

[~A.]

fuck I want to go and buy a 360 with crackdown right now. but i ain't gonna. too broke these days to spend 500 for a beta thats gonna last a month.

[Masterz1337]

Killer give it here!!! And you will recieve betas for the rest of your life.

[flibitijibibo]

I like how people who don't even have 360s are getting these codes. T_T

[Kornman00]

more power to them. I do have one, just not within a couple thousand miles...

they should have picked people from b.net who had a XBL gold account associated with their user account.

[ExAm]

Lol. I got a code but no 360. I'll give it to a friend if I can. :p

Do eenie meenie between me and the other guy, unless he doesn't even have a beta invite at all, even for the 16th. I just want in early :P

[Emmzee]

Guys, you can't just get Crackdown now and get invited to the beta. You would have had to get it the day it came out. Plus, that's stupid. Crackdown is actually a good game, and I hate the people who just get it for "ZOMG HALOW TREE BETA!!!!!"

I beg to differ


For everyone else, the same avenues for the normal Public Beta still exist – for most of you, that means playing via specially marked versions of Crackdown (still available in stores)

And


Purchase Crackdown for the Xbox 360 and gain access to the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta! You will be able to access the Beta within the in-game menus of Crackdown once the Beta starts on May 16th. Limited time offer. Only on specially marked boxes including all pre-orders. Requires a hard drive and Xbox Live Gold subscription. Halo 3 Multiplayer beta expected to begin Spring 2007.

[Emmzee]

That doesn't change the fact that people get it for only the Halo 3 beta and not for the actual game.

[Rosco]

That's stupid, buying a game for a free add-on, Crackdown IS a good game, it's addicting once you level up.

[klange]

I love the way IGN put it way-back-when: "Halo 3 Multiplayer Demo Disc Also Featuring Crackdown."

[Elite Killa]

Yeah. It's fun to drive in the truck at 4 star driving skill!

[paladin]

I got it too, i have no idea though im playing now,

[Linch]

U can watch the beta LIVE now on GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6170614.html?tag=breaking_news;link)

[n00b1n8R]

AAAAAAAAAAA D:
I want this in me *cries*

[paladin]

this is like one of the best days ever.

[Pred1ator]

bungie is torturing us..it wont be a while till we are playing it but my XBOX 360 Live isnt working...

[{MMT} Pope]

Not only is this the day that the halo 3 beta is released but i have to go party tonight at 10

[JDMFSeanP]

Dang I have to wait a few more days unless I can get hookups with a code >_>.

Does the download work by code?

[Lightning]

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter if you blured it or not as its only usable once ;p

Its not mine :(

[Emmzee]

I won't get Halo 3. Halo 2 was a disappointment.

[JDMFSeanP]

Ok? who cares?

[CtrlAltDestroy]

because halo2==halo3

awesome logic !!

[Random]

Can people who have the beta send invites to other people?

[rossmum]

Just found out one of my friends got Crackdown (for the game, not the beta - he loves it) and got the H3 beta with it. I know I was going to wait for the release, but... argh... must play :gonk:

[Digikid]

I hate you guys. LOL!!!!!!

Practice all you want.... but I will PWN you when my time comes.

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[{MMT} Pope]

[Elite Killa]

I guess it was only for the people who signed up on halo3.com right after the Halo 3 commercial on TV or was one of the 13,333 people who signed in after 3 hours of Halo 2 Xbox Live gameplay.

[Xetsuei]

NO. This is the Bungie Friends & Family program. It's for people that got picked, they get to play it earlier than the rest of us. :|

[Boba]

:saddowns:

[MereCatfish]

Nope, otherwise I would be playing right now. I'm a phase one winner.

[Xegrot]

http://xboxyde.com/news_4324_19828_3_464776_fr.html#

If you look in the second set of pictures, there's a white rocket launcher.

EDIT: Either it's white or it's just really really really shiny.

[ExAm]

That's the regular rocket launcher, just shiny.

[Pred1ator]

That's the regular rocket launcher, just shiny.

I like the laucher, some one should animate it and reskin it to be like that

[Kornman00]

ugh, snowbound. more like not-retail-bound

[Pred1ator]

ugh, snowbound. more like not-retail-bound
snow bound looks colorful in the screen shots... if you are complaining about the gameplay then dont blam the map

The shininess...@_@

[Kornman00]

I suppose I should blame jcap then :eyesroll:

The map is what creates the gameplay....

[-£§- §age]

Blam...the engine...
Kinda funny there, but that might be because I'm a programmer.
And LOL.

I cannot wait.

:iia:

[Patrickssj6]

Wow the rocket launcher is uglyyyyyy

And yeah blame Blam.

[JDMFSeanP]

It almost never looks like that, I have no clue how the guy got it to be so bright.

[IPBJT!]

So now there's an infinite ammo option?

[Con]

I suppose I should blame jcap then :eyesroll:
I'm fine with that. *blames jcap*


Can someone with a capture card get me some shots/videos detailing parts of valhalla?

[ExAm]

So now there's an infinite ammo option?Holy crap you're right! No more looking for rockets in a game of Rockets.

Conscars, look hear (http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/vids_1.html).

[rossmum]

snow bound looks colorful in the screen shots... if you are complaining about the gameplay then dont blam the map
Yeah because it's not like the gameplay depends almost wholly upon the map or anything :downs:

Korn, I heard you suck at H3... when I get to play, I'll teach you how it's done :p

[Limited]

Well I know what im doing tmw. Crashing my m8's house and playing his 360. whether he likes it or not :O

[demonmaster3k]

that ui should be redone for h2v

[Culda]

In 2 days, I can play with you guys :O. I must say, you guys are extremely VIP being able to play the BETA before its release :D.

Gamertag: x H3RTiC

[Pred1ator]

gamertag in case u guys wanna play me... Apoca1ypto

[PenGuin1362]

[Kornman00]

Korn, I heard you suck at H3... when I get to play, I'll teach you how it's done :p
When you get to play? Boy, you won't even spawn for the first time and it will say I killed yo ass. EVEN IF I'M NOT IN THAT GAME :O!

also,

jcups

EDIT:
I haven't played Halo on XBL since last Dec. That and every time I wanted to reload I dropped a fucking EMP on my own ass :eyesroll:

After actually having time to get back into the game I'm more reluctant to try and use X for action, and I've adapted to the weapon changes. So don't go off of what you hurd, ya hear?

[Digikid]

When does the Beta come out tomorrow? What time and Time Zone? I cannot find this information anywhere........

[DaneO'Roo]

I like the laucher, some one should animate it and reskin it to be like that

Reskin wise, I would, and I could, same with the PR (I actually allready started that) but, nah don't think so. Will only cause more hate. Though I spose I can keep it to myself in my self made heavily texture modified halo PC. Just as long as it doesn't end up in SPv2. I don't wanna start trouble.


Also WHAT THE SHIT IS WITH THE INFINITE AMMO IN THAT PICTURE.

[Reaper Man]

Shit. I have exams during the 16th, 17th and 18th. Epic fail. I'll play on the weekend.

[rossmum]

Owned.

Friend's coming over on the weekend, dunno when the beta starts here but I'll be playing anyway :p

[Culda]

I'm skipping school tommorow. I can't miss this :\

[ExAm]

Unfortunately, I have an AP English test tomorrow, so I'll start the download before school and come back after school when it's finished.

[Boba]

So uh, h2v Halo CE Community Halo 3 Party tomarrow?

[ExAm]

Maybe. We need a beta players gamertag thread. Now.

[Atty]

Go to Tech and there is one.
