Halo 3 Beta

*Brodie* · 05-16-2007, 12:03 AM

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?

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-16-2007, 08:45 AM

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.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-16-2007, 02:31 PM

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

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-16-2007, 02:53 PM

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

*Brodie* · 05-16-2007, 06:03 PM

Very dissapointing, indeed.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-16-2007, 06:21 PM

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.

Peanut · 05-16-2007, 07:36 PM

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!

*Brodie* · 05-16-2007, 07:57 PM

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

*Spitfire* · 05-16-2007, 08:00 PM

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.

Peanut · 05-16-2007, 08:10 PM

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.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 05-16-2007, 08:41 PM

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.

*Cure* · 05-16-2007, 09:18 PM

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.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-17-2007, 04:03 AM

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.

Peanut · 05-17-2007, 01:21 PM

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

The Clerk · 05-17-2007, 09:47 PM

Am I too late to DL it?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-18-2007, 02:58 AM

Warthog + 3 losers + man cannon = w00t

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!
