Welcome to the Bungie Friends & Family Halo 3 Beta!

Instructions for installing and launching the beta are below:

It's downloading right now. It's just under a gig, so it'll probably be a few more minutes.

Ahhh!! I'll update you guys as I can. *giddy*

EDIT:

Hehehe.

Ghost, let's try getting in a playlist together.

Also, and sorry Korn:

" Please note that the Halo 3 beta only supports Matchmaking play over Xbox Live. You will not be able to play any custom games or play in offline/system link matches. You can, however, play with a friend in split-screen games in the Social playlists."

they should have picked people from b.net who had a XBL gold account associated with their user account.

Guys, you can't just get Crackdown now and get invited to the beta. You would have had to get it the day it came out. Plus, that's stupid. Crackdown is actually a good game, and I hate the people who just get it for "ZOMG HALOW TREE BETA!!!!!"

I beg to differ


For everyone else, the same avenues for the normal Public Beta still exist – for most of you, that means playing via specially marked versions of Crackdown (still available in stores)

And


Purchase Crackdown for the Xbox 360 and gain access to the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta! You will be able to access the Beta within the in-game menus of Crackdown once the Beta starts on May 16th. Limited time offer. Only on specially marked boxes including all pre-orders. Requires a hard drive and Xbox Live Gold subscription. Halo 3 Multiplayer beta expected to begin Spring 2007.

Emmzee
May 11th, 2007, 04:23 PM
That doesn't change the fact that people get it for only the Halo 3 beta and not for the actual game.

Rosco
May 11th, 2007, 04:30 PM
That's stupid, buying a game for a free add-on, Crackdown IS a good game, it's addicting once you level up.
