AimLXJ Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 News just reaching us via some inside sources indicates that there will actually now be two 'seasons' of HALO 3 Beta testing. The first season will be for all the lucky competition winners and then a second season for those that have purchased Crackdown.The first season is expected to start on March 21 and the second season is due to end in June. So chances are if you intend to participate via Crackdown you will only be playing the Beta in May, after all the winners. The source of this news (Gamertag: Xboxportugal) has previously been first to reveal screenshots form Halo 3 so we are pretty confident that his forum post is pretty accurate information.

goji Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Debunked. False Rumor - dual betasOkay, rumor-busting time. There's a doozy, going around (see QJ.net and Computer and Video Games, for example) that there may be two different Halo 3 beta groups; the first will be for competition winners (including the first two phases of the Rule of Three), the second will be for Crackdown purchasers. According to these articles, their start dates will be a couple of months apart. Before you Crackdown purchasers go ballistic, here's the word, straight from Frankie at Bungie: There is only one Halo 3 Public Beta. Folks who play it because they bought Crackdown are playing the same game as the ones who won the Rule of Three contest. Both groups will start at the same time - this rumor is false. Thanks to runnersdialzero for the heads-up on the rumor, and Frankie, for the breath of sanity. (Louis Wu 23:00:30 UTC) Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynnoj Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 how long do i have to buy crackdown then Every copy in the initial batch has a beta invite. The game is pretty popular, so I wouldn't like to hazard a guess. Have you not seen the second post in this thread? :/ That's what I was beginning to wonder.
