[Rumor] Halo 3 Beta Participants Read


Recommended Posts

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.

Debunked.

False Rumor - dual betas

Okay, 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)

God damn it. I can't get crackdown until i complete cod3, cause they got this deal:

Trade in cod3, get crackdown for 15 quid.

I'm probably gonna complete it this week cause i dunno how long this deal will last.

But Bungie didnt squash the March 21st start date rumour.... :o

March 21st is before Spring. And they said in a BWU that there was a good chance it wouldn't come until late Spring.

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.
