Sign Up Monday for Chance to Join Halo 3 MP Beta


Recommended Posts

Looks like everyone is getting a "White Page of Death" when they try to register. Oh well, maybe next time.

I got that when I tried to signup under N.America and my live account is UK. That may not apply to you.

I registered with that first link that was posted. Hope everything is Kosher. :) :p

Replying to myself, I'm pretty sure that link was valid. Bungie's response:

There's been a lot of rampant speculation going on today regarding the Halo 3 Beta and the sign-up page for it. Going through the now live Halo3.com is the only way in which you are guaranteed to have actually registered. Do not trust direct links to the sign-up form, only access it through Halo3.com.

If you've already registered via the direct link that some of our more rabid fans found earlier today, you may well have a perfectly valid registration, but from here on out you should only access the sign-up form through Halo3.com.

This is phase one. There will be more ways to enter the beta program, so don't panic. We will try to ensure that everyone who wants to participate has the opportunity to do so. The beta will be a world-wide affair, and every region that is elligible to participate, will. Much of the information on Halo3.com applies to the US only - so if you live in a different region, keep an eye on your local Xbo x site for details.

Ok...I went through halo3.com ...signed in, and was taken to this page:

https://reg.msgamestudios.com/Default.aspx?statusid=1

what the hell does that mean?

Yep same here. I'm assuming thats the page where it says "successful!" since its what showed after signing up with the direct link before the official link was up and the servers wern't dead.

This is supported by the idea that the end of the address is "statusid=1" usually 1 means "yes" soo I'm assuming status would be successful registration or not.

Then again I'm just gonna try again when the servers arn't as dead.

Hey sniper, I found a way around our problem,

sign in, and then enter this url into the location

https://reg.msgamestudios.com/default.aspx?...mp;locale=en-US

and it will take you to the survey you need to fill out, then submit it ...viola! :yes:

Hmm for me the site just goes to an error page "Unable to connect". Either the server is messed or somethings wrong with the link..

But going from halo3.com, as soon as I click "continue to sign up" and it tries to contact reg.msgamestudios.com, it errors out almost immediately.

I'll just come back to it tomorrow or something.. It might really be going through but I just don't know it, and then they'll ban me for spamming them :p I found out I spelt my city name wrong though sooo I really should try to submit again some time when the servers arn't being hammered.

still nothing for people in Europe? :(

European Gamers

Europe will soon have the chance to secure their place on the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, scheduled to start next spring. Keep an eye on your local Xbox community site for more details.

* Limit one registration per person/Xbox Live gamertag. If selected, your invitation is non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. The beta is available in English only.

There we go :) I was right last night then, it said the same thing on Xbox UK.

ah, i meant so there's not going to be anything for us now, like people in America who go to at least show that they wanted to participate - hopefully they'll release more information for us people in the EU shortly :)

Spring 2007 it says :).

The Beta is scheduled to start in the spring. The sign-up for European gamers and the such will come soon. As already stated on the website. Like some have speculated it was probably done this way to keep the servers from taken suge a huge hit that they actually fail and no-one is able to sign up. You've already seen most of us here in North America already mention that the servers are being pretty sluggish.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
