Are you stupid?? The alpha was released to around a hundred mirosoft employees from a raffle type event they had, and some of my friends parents got it and i can play it at there houses.Its under the name of pimps at sea still i believe.

IIRC The 100 employees was for Halo 2, if I'm not mistaken a lot more employees (as well as various others in the field ;) ) get to test Halo 3.

Regardless, I still think you are lying.

Why would i lie about playing an alpha of a game? Sure I love the halo series but why would i go around lieing about that? It makes me no cooler or anything.

Would you like the kids that have it gamertags so you can see that they've played it? (I think it records im not sure, it still went under the name "Pimps at Sea Alpha")

EDIT: Nevermind i look and it doesnt record it.

BTW Atty i meant 100 employees at this location in Redmond, i'm sure its around 10,000 right now all around the globe.

A couple of buddies of mine made it in at school, I can't even apply until I buy a new 360, mine broke... While I was trying to case mod it, so warrenty is out.

I was kind of disappointed when I found out that tens of thousands of people were getting in. I thought it was something special. Now it just seems like a novelty. I don't think it was a wise decision on Bungie's part to do that.

I won in Phase 1, loosers.

Atty

I won in Phase 1, loosers.I'm actually rather tight, thank you very much.

To Explosive, there is a great reason for so many testers. The more people playing it the more likely all the little bugs will be found out.

Too many testers. You don't need thousands to do what a few hundred people who are qualified can do. You know how many 8 year olds got in on phase 2? How many will get in with the crackdown guaranteed invite? It's too easy to get in. Phase 1 should have been done differently, and should have been the only phase. This is just fucking ridiculous.

Bungie fucked up with the beta signups. They ought to weed out the kids whose balls haven't dropped, and those with no mikes, just to be safe.

They can't control who lies about their age on their registration or who makes fake accounts to fake their age it's also impossible to tell who has or has not a mic. I think you are just mad you aren't special, that you and thousands of others will be playing instead of just you and a few.

Well, I overlooked the fact that microsoft did it, and that was wrong, but I'm still mad that they're doing it. I don't want to play with a bunch of little kids and idiots who bought crackdown just for the Halo 3 beta invite. They just whored out the beta, and it just seems wrong to me.

Careful, or you'll offend Atticus.

Careful, or you'll offend Atticus.I don't quiet understand. I'm not a little kid, idiot, nor did I buy crackdown for the beta.

Zeph
February 18th, 2007, 05:38 PM
Wow, people fighting about the number of people playing. I assume you dont want to wait five hours for one game to have enough people to play :\.

And it's allready been said that the amount of people and the beta's purpose is to gather network stress info. Dont like it? Stop caring and get over it.

ExAm
February 18th, 2007, 06:11 PM

You don't quiet understand :confused2:


And if you didn't get accepted to the Halo 3 beta, you were going to buy Crackdown for the beta.

ExAm
February 19th, 2007, 01:57 PM
some people like crackdown. they buy it primarily for that reason.

I can't be fucked to buy another mic, I've already broken every other single one I used. :mad:

but yeah I got the beta with crackdown, it's crackdown I really wanted to play, though.

February 27th, 2007, 10:59 AM
wow, thats ironic... I get crakdown cause it looked like a lil GoW game with GTA in it so i decided to get it, i didnt even know it has a H3 beta in it :shake:

im not so sure if my friend was bs-ing or not, but here goes:
he has a cousin whos dad works for microsoft,so naturally, he gets the halo 3 beta/alpha
from what ive heard from him, he claims that you can carry 4 weapons, 2 in holsters, and 2 on your back
maybe you can keep your duel weapons instead of dropping or switching?

Atty
February 27th, 2007, 11:48 PM
Your friend is lying. Bungie has said before that the one thing about Halo that they'll keep is the two weapons at all times. Unless they've had a major change of heart about the style of play of the game (which changes drastically when you can carry 4 weapons) it won't happen. His did might work for Microsoft (it seems everyones dad/mom/aunt/cousin/dog works for Microsoft or bungie nowadays :rolleyes:) so he could get his hands on a beta version but still, I'm pretty sure that is bull shit.

rossmum
February 28th, 2007, 05:12 AM
What Atty said. Unless Bungie say it directly themselves, consider it bullshit. Especially if it involves someone's cousin's friend's sister's boyfriend's aunt's father's parole officer or some other lengthy chain of people.

Hell, even if Bungie say it, I don't always believe it. Because they aren't always right.
