Halo 3 Beta
 

Well at various times across the globe the Halo 3 Beta will be online, and a bunch of people have it.

Who's playing?

And as the hours go by, what do you think? Dig it? Hate it?

It said it started at 5 am PDT....so 8 am my time.

But theres nothing to download :( Hopefully it will be available when I get back for my lunch break...

It's 7pm here and it's still not up. While I was waiting I did find the last agility orb I needed in Crackdown so that's pretty cool. Aegis Wing hasn't even gone up here yet.

Oh crap, that's today isn't it? I'll get in on it after work and The Price is Right finale tonight.

It's still not up yet....how dissapointing.

Very dissapointing, indeed.

There was an update on bungies site saying they figured it out and it would be 3-6 hours. So it looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

OK. So we're looking at around 10pm EST for the Crackdown DL to go up, then let's give ourselves around 1:30-2 hours to download the thing, depending on how bad the server load is. Who's up for playing? So far, me, Brodie and JameO will be going at it. TMB, I'm lookin' at you, b*tch. Time to put down the Gears and play a man's multi-player game.

Snackpants, Jed? I guess it might be a ridiculous time in the morning for you, Jed? And Snackpants, you can't play tonight, right? Jed, I've been meaning to add you to my XBL friends list for awhile, I'll do that tonight, and Snackpants, I don't think I even know your GT?

Tomorrow, guys. We've got to get a Drome party going. All of us in a BTB game. Valhalla here we come!

I think 'terror' is the word the people fighting us would feel.

I got the Crackdown with the beta in it. I guess I'll pick it up but I know I'll get my ass handed to me.

Man, who cares about skill level? Not us! It's all about having fun, dude. No worries.

That puts it at around 8am for me, if I'm awake that early count me in! I've been meaning to add everyone here too but everytime I'm on the 360 I keep forgetting. I was playing with The Cure earlier and there was terrible lag on Gears co-op and TMNT Arcade, I don't know if the problem was with my connection but I'm going to ring the company who give me my broadband first thing tomorrow, I had no problems at all yesterday in Gears or today in Aegis Wing which is strange.

I work from 7-4 almost everyday. I would stay up and play with you guys but I got a ****** cold right now and I am dreading work tomorrow. But I will be playing it on and off from 4pm-10pm tomorrow and then whenever I want this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to play with some of you guys.

I am in the EST, btw.

Well, damn. I guess I gotta buy me some Crackdown. I'll be down to play with all you guys tomorrow. I'll be at GameStop first thing in the morning. :D

So far, it's just Halo 2.5, but Goddamn does it feel a lot better than Halo 2. I'm really getting into it this time thanks to how they have refined the formula. I have the controls customized to my liking, got several headshots off, and the Mongoose is THE sh*t. Tomorrow, we've got to get a Drome party for this baby going.

I'm gonna be playing all night if anyone wants to join in!

Am I too late to DL it?

Warthog + 3 losers + man cannon = w00t

I love taking the mongoose off the man cannon.

I up for some all night tonight...anyone else gunna be around?

AHAHAHA! That was so great! Especially that last jump! We avoided lasers, snipers, and flew off the man cannon, only to land on one of those suckers running across the field. PURE AWESOME!

Yeah, how do we get this? Please.

Do you guys own a specially marked copy of Crackdown? If not, there's no possible way for you to get into the beta. And I do believe the special beta versions of Crackdown have all been removed from store shelves, as well.

No effin' way.



There has to be some out in stores still....


But it is worth getting?

Dude, I got lucky enough to get one in SEARS of all places. It's downloading right now. It even had the "Do Not Sell Before So-n-So" sticker on it. So I suggest you guys look where no one else would think of.

Who shops at Sears anymore?

Nobody! I've got work at midnight, so who's up for some Halo 3 action!?

ME!!!!!

I only played 2 games yesterday because I was sick, but I played a bunch after work today. Five in a row were at Highground and I must say I looove Highground. The Spartan Laser is pretty cool too. I fianlly got my first kill with it today...on a guy who was t-bagging one of my teamates. That will be pretty leathal to someone who masters it. Valahla is a decent map, basically because of the man canons. I only played on Snowbound twice, so maybe I should give it more of a chance, but I pretty much hate it.

Exactly my point.

,.....I love being ignored.



*kicks pebble*

Are you a big fan of Halo 2? Are you counting down the days to Halo 3s release? If your answer was yes then you gotta try to get in. If no, then its probably not worth the trouble because its only 3 weeks long.

Whats the date that the beta is over?

www.bungie.net

The beta ends June 10th now, I believe. It was supposed to be June 6th, but the torture they put the Crackdown users through on the release made them tack on a couple more days.

All the info you need is right there, but honestly...if you haven't been keeping track of this thing since they announced it months ago, you probably shouldn't be worrying about it.

I believe it was extended until June 6th because of the problems on day one.

Nah, it was extended to June 10th.

I apologize for not being around tonight, I was out having a real life, but I'm back and rarin' to go for some retarded-Warthogging in Hazard county...Where's my Duke boys?

Sorry I wasn't able to play the last few days, I had friends over and we watched DVDs and played arcade games instead of Halo. I'll be on tonight after work so if anyone else is online we can play.

Glad to hear some positive reactions. I dont even have a 360 yet:ohwell:

I'm up for Halo anytime for the rest of the night. I have got nothing to do. It really sucks that there's no BTB playlist up yet, because that limits us to only playing in groups of 4. Although, I think you can have more in Rumble Pit, but team based games are a lot more fun. Let's hope they add a BTB type.

Real life took over again so I couldn't go on last night, it's Sunday so I can't imagine I'll be doing anything so I should be on tonight.

Same here. I'm up for it whenever anyone else is.

So obviously I wasn't up for it. But they added BTB Training to the playlist, which means we can all play together. We HAVE to play now. Come on, guys.
