Halo 3 Beta sign up on Dec 4!

3dgamer.blogspot.com — In Microsoft's latest press release, they included some exciting information about Halo 3. Starting December 4th, you can go to www.halo3.com and register for an opportunity to play the game. The public beta is only scheduled to start some time in the Spring of 2007, but now is the time to get in on it.

    This is something that companies have *wished* they could do previously, but without making a new cartridge or cd each time... it just wasn't technogically / economically feasible...

    This makes a TON of sense IMHO.
  • traicer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10over the CG trailer?
  • Hochler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Halo 3 is still in pre-alpha, its graphics now are just filler. Most graphics are done much later in development.
  • rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Here's the MS press release

    But I can't find beta signup info at all...any better links out there?
  • Stonedonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The program is being mirrored in Europe.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Mr.Freeze... oh the irony
  • maxdefcon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3We also made mention of the Halo 3 Beta (coming some time in 2007) and folks panicked when they saw that a press release mentioned only the US. Don't panic. The Halo 3 Beta will be available in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world.
  • saisumimen2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Compared to Unreal, master chief feels like he's walking in a pool of jelly, especially when he jumps.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2;p

    (Kidding aside, play unreal 2004 for five minutes and then play Halo/Halo2. Let me know what you think.)
  • rowlodge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3already a member of bungie for a year or more...you mean i have to sign up again dec. 4th?
  • ltb0ngo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sucks that it's only North America though
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Plus this is a way for game developers to save money rather than paying for game testers the way PC game developers do.
  • live2board, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No, you need to sign up for the beta.
  • Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I doubt it's going to be all that serious. It's probably to the effect of entering your Gamertag and clicking "enter." It's not going to be like that Costco.com fiasco when they were selling the PS3 bundle.
  • Sirusdv, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Oh jesus, this is going to turn into something just like the Amazon 360 offer...
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is gonna be crazy on monday.
  • TortillaChip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What time are we going to be able to sign up?
  • flocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yesterday at around 9:00 PM EST
  • rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Full Press Release (not from MS, but it's the best I could find)

  • uacheesehead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2aahhh!! digg this down story down! more diggs = more entries = less chance of us getting our spot in the beta!
  • Togg719, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hahah sure is


    hopefully it doesn't suck
  • estvir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Helllooo ? We game like hell here in Australia. :(
  • hoowahman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3This sounds more like a lottery than a first come first serve, It will probably be open for a while during the day. *Shrug* I don't think it'll be that bad.
  • knodi, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4OMG I"M GOING TO CRY!!!

  • blynder, on 10/12/2007, -9/+660 Seconds of Halo is like 60 seconds in heaven.
  • AmishRefugee, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2What I've seen from Halo 3 so far is wholly underwhelming. I can hardly tell the differences in graphic quality from Halo 2 and nothing else much seems to have changed
  • tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Holy *****, flame throwers!!!!!!!!
    (And yes, for those who may comment, I feel the amount of exclamation points was perfectly justified considering the circumstances)
  • BigPapasan, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Also don't forget about the add during Monday night football.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5You guys think they'll finally make Master Chief move faster than an old man on the moon? If so, sign me up!
  • truspector, on 10/12/2007, -12/+3I forsee halo3.com having some serious bandwidth issues starting on Monday. I will be there anyway though.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3why does it take so long for halo3 to come out?
  • KnightMareInc, on 10/12/2007, -22/+4LOL @ console game betas
