Participanti hate you….i guess im buying that *edited* crackdown game…..oh well w.e
You have to have the game in your cd tray to play the halo 3 beta…sucks. but i guess if you got an invite it doesnt work that way. or you get a cd in the mail or something

ParticipantIf one of you *edited*s gets it, you’re inviting me over.

ParticipantHells yeah! Got my email this morning as well
Good thing, ’cause I really wasn’t gonna by Crackdown just for the Beta test. That would make me a tool. Hella lame.
February 13, 2007 at 4:39 pm #16575gxti
ParticipantCrackdown is an awesome game though…

Participantgxti, you live in Reynolds don’t you? If you do, both you and Falcon can come down to try it out. I’m in 128.
February 13, 2007 at 6:28 pm #16584Akuzan

ParticipantFor those of you who will not be participating in the Halo 3 beta, I don’t mean to rub it in or anything, but…

Participantits all good, i will buy crackdown and play h3 beta and beat you in h3 like i do h2
February 20, 2007 at 9:47 am #16943Oh Malley
ParticipantThe beta hasn’t been released yet. I’ll post when I’ve downloaded it.
February 20, 2007 at 2:27 pm #16950Akuzan
Participanti halo 3 beta will not be relased when crackdown comes out. no one has told us an official date on when it will be released. i bought crackdown today…..but hey it isnt a bad game so i get the h3 beta and a little bit of fun killing innocent people and throwing cars on buildings and random things like that. its all good. doesnt matter too much bec the beat will not last that long. after a certain time you will not be able to play it anymore……but i will still have crackdown lol
February 21, 2007 at 8:32 am #17024Oh Malley
ParticipantIt’ll probably up until a month or two before Halo 3 comes out (the end of the beta that is.) They may keep updating the beta after they’ve resolved the initial set of bugs or whatever. I mean, that’s all we’re there for really.

ParticipantI find myself lacking envy. I don’t own a 360 and, honestly, don’t plan to.
Halo 1 was better than Halo 2, and I fear Halo 2 will have been better than Halo 3. Additionally, it all feels so… stolen — Stolen from Half Life.
The flood == Headcrab/Zombies, for one thing. I mean jeebus, the zombies even look alike.
HL2 still rocks the socks when it comes to FPS, and honestly I think it won’t be eclipsed until we see HL3, though Halo has some good multiplayer.
PS: I was level 50 in Halo 2 Multiplayer before the first stat wipe. Good times, fun multiplayer. Singleplayer made me very, very dissapointed, and that’s where the fun is for me.
Enjoy the beta, mate. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
/Flamewar GO!

ParticipantYou cant compare the flood and the head crabs seeing as the head crabs in hl2 are pretty much dumb. they walk slow and are very easy to kill…..kinda boring. the flood in halo are semi smart and jump around and actually think compared to the head crabs. i dont even know what you talking about with zombies…….
Also hl2 is more physics based and is cool but not good for a multiplayer game. just kinda fun…then gets old. Also you cant compare a game that is mainly pc to one that is mainly console. i know both are on pc and console but halo was originally console and hl was mainly pc. Thats like comparing CS to Halo. They are different types of FPS.
Anyway…..a 50 before the update would have to of been from cheating. A 50 before the reset would have taken hundreds of games and no one has reached it legitly. If i were you i wouldnt talk about getting a 50 when it wasnt possible before the update and is almost impossible now. You dont know the true joy of Halo 2 when all you did was play for a few months,cheat to get your level and quit playing. MLG is the main reason why halo 2 is so popular and it is on the USA Channel on TV. HL2 cant boast that.
February 21, 2007 at 2:12 pm #17044Kuros
ParticipantHalf Life set the bar for games like Halo, and games like Halo will never be able to leave the impact that HL did, TV or not.
February 21, 2007 at 3:34 pm #17055Akuzan
ParticipantSetting the bar or not you cant compare two games that are not related very close. hl2 is pretty realistic and halo is no where near realistic. HL2 has puzzles and Halo is mainly just run and gun…..well most people see it as that. They are two diff. games with their own styles…..you cant compare them
February 22, 2007 at 1:14 am #17098JazzmanSA80
ParticipantPlus Halo has clearly shifted it’s focus to multiplayer with H2, and Halo 3 will be even more so.
February 22, 2007 at 1:28 am #17099Akuzan
Participantindeed it has. h3 will be amazing
February 22, 2007 at 2:20 am #17100Mr. Freeman
ParticipantI wasn’t comparing the way the enemies act, I’m comparing the character designs.
The Headcrab:

The Flood:
Headcrab Zombie:
Flood Zombie:
As for being l50, I was. Period.
Halo 3 will be good, as a console shooter, but look for the Orange Box to make big, big waves.
February 22, 2007 at 4:19 am #17103Akuzan
Participanthalo is the best multiplayer game for consoles…….HL is mainly story….story is well and good but it gets old fast……cheater
April 10, 2007 at 12:20 pm #19633JazzmanSA80
Participant“The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT. That means that folks who purchased specially marked copies of Crackdown, or won a spot in the Beta through the “Rule of Three” or other regional promotions, will be able to log into their Xbox Live Gold accounts, download and play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta and enjoy an early peek at the multiplayer aspect of the game.” -Bungie.net
Woo! Finally- a date!

Participantand the vid doc is fking amazing!!!
Shield grenades…not like in the halo commercial…land mines…slow-mo and all kinds of *edited* that makes me tingle

ParticipantSucks for me
April 10, 2007 at 10:06 pm #19658Akuzan
ParticipantWell i canceled my BEVER x2 account so if anyone wants to play anything they have to add me on my AlienPoke account. So when h3 beta comes arround we can play and see what happens.
April 11, 2007 at 1:05 am #19662JazzmanSA80
ParticipantYou are BEVER x2? I have you on my friends list but I think I have you friended by coincidence bc I had no idea that was you haha.
