Halo 3 Master Chief


This is certainly one you should put in your diary as it's pretty much guaranteed to fill up within hours of going live. Today, Microsoft have announced the beta release date for Halo 3, the next big game for the Xbox 360. The big day (and time) coincides with the showing of the Halo 3 commercial that was earlier announced. Beta registrations open on December 4 for North America.

We don't like to be the ones to tell you this, but if you don't live in North America then you will not be able to participate in the beta test. Don't worry about it too much though as the Xbox Live multiplayer public beta, scheduled for spring 2007, will give a lot more gamers a chance to play the game and get their own ideas through to the developers. Bookmark the link below and check the site on December 4 to sign up!

"We also made mention of the Halo 3 Beta (coming some time in 2007) and folks panicked when they saw that a press release mentioned only the US. Don't panic. The Halo 3 Beta will be available in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world. We'll keep you updated on the detailed specifics as they come in.

Halo 1 - Ok, but overrated... Had it's moments...

Halo 2 - Absolute crap for single player, online play ruined by 13 year olds...

Halo 3 - Probably more of the same... I have absolutely no hype for this game... I was suckered into buying the other 2, but not this time.

» Agree with J-Train!

The Halo 2 online play was totally ruined by those 13 years old young one. I already gave up on Halo 3 coz the Halo 2. I like Halo 1. The only thing I am interesting is the Halo movie. Dont put too much hope on the Halo 3...

» Idiots

You guys are morons...really, Halo 3 is going to be the ***** -- there is nothing you can say to that, period. The story is awesome, online is addictive, and graphics are superb.



In order of importance:

1. Girls

2. Halo

3. Gow

4. Everything else

» riiiight

So they are morons because their opinions differ from yours Meat, who is being the moron now.

Ill agree with you the story was superb but the gameplay was flawed for number 2, but hey thats just my two cents.



Which monkey put this story up aswell saying it was US only when other major sites said it was for players worldwide

by Yea - 2006-11-30 22:38
» Yea

There is no way this is us only,

there are 10+ sites that clearly state the beta will

also be released worldwide.



stupid, you nearlly got me worried...

(damn american blogger lol, i'm not taking the piss )

by ballsackjoe - 2006-12-01 04:28
» you have a biased opinion?

just because you agree with each other does not mean your right about anything, just that you two have the same level of stupidity



what you are saying is the equivalent of saying that Back To The Future's trilogy that number two was the best because he went in to the future when you have never seen the third one



seiously, they were *****ing cowboys in the third movie, how kickass is that



please dont buy halo 3 because i never want to chance playing it with a total *****tard like you

by ballsackjoe - 2006-12-01 04:34
» hey

they are not idiots because their opinion is different than ours, they are idiots because their opinon doesnt hold water and they suck ass, and also, i dont belive your sources as much as i belive a credited internet site that has been respected and doing this for a while. Bungie is in America and so is Microsoft, so that would make sense that they would exclude all the trash outside America and focus on the trash inside. because hell, they owe us

» What u just said J-Train

by AnubisHorus - 2006-12-01 20:17
» lol...wow

they said it would be released to US first...its coming to live for beta testing everywhere else in spring...so you are correct the BETA will be released worldwide...but the alpha is US only, :( sorry

by otacon - 2006-12-02 06:38
» Uhh

» Idiots??

Really? You put Halo above family, money, love, sex, and life? I think you should reevaluate your priorities...
