Halo 3


We don't like to be the bearer of bad news here at QJ, and for that exact reason, we thought we'd remind you that the Halo 3 Beta sign-up is open today! We don't want anybody missing out on the action. Said beta was only announced a week ago. We also have some good news because the guys over at Bungie have announced that the Halo 3 Beta will not only be available in North America but also in the US, Europe, and elsewhere in the world. You heard that one right!

The big day (and time) coincides with the showing of the Halo 3 commercial which was also announced last week. To get an idea (for those who aren't big fans of Halo) of just how important this bit of news about the game is, let's see what commenter "Meat" says about the order of importance for many gamers: "Girls (or guys), Halo, Gears Of War, everything else".

Halo 3 still not important enough? You better get to the beta site now before registration closes!

actually...

actually there IS going to be a sign up for the UK peeps. Just hold your horses. Their choking up just for us north americans right now, can't access the site for *****. Taken from the bungie press release on their website: "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."

Regarding the commercial.... was that boy kid supposed to be masterchief as a kid or just a kid on another planet, because when it switches views to masterchief it echos the boy's voice again...
