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.

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
