I'm suprised people aren't going insane about the Halo 3 Beta!

Basically because most of us have already watched it being played a great deal...no more surprises. :(  I'm still going to play it a lot though...should be fun as long as I don't play as bad as those people in the GS videos.

Yeah it's much quieter today, and I'm grateful because it was getting annoying yesterday seeing all those topics about Halo 3.  I might be able to play the eta this weekend if I can rent Crackdown tommorow so I'll have Thursday-sunday to play it.  I'm not getting my hopes too high and i'll be happy if I even get to play it at all.  Otherwise I'll just wait until release because the retail game won't be any different from the beta in terms of gameplay.

after the crappy job they did on halo 2 and waiting in line all night just to get the stupid thing at 12:00am (I feel like such a moron for doing that!!) I will never go out of my way for another Halo game again. That goes for buying a crappy game game just to play the beta verizon for a month. I might even wait to get halo on ebay this time for 20 bucks off. It certainly does not look like anything to get happy over anyway. The game looks almost like the first one. Gears of War will be funner than Halo 3 in my humble option.

That's why I'm trying to rent the ame for like 3 bucks.  I wouldn't spend more than $10 to play the beta for the whole 3 weeks so this is as close as I can get.

you know...aside from the fact that they are hiding alot of stuff from us..... if you have ever been on a beta test for a PC title you should know it's not somthing to judge a finished product by.

I wish it was for a longer period or at least until Halo 3 actually came out. That would be awesome. Too bad its only for about a month or so. Im ready for the beta either weay.

probably wont get itMVfalcons83

how long have you been under a rock? I mean who isnt excited dude, it's Halo 3!

Basically because most of us have already watched it being played a great deal...no more surprises. :(  I'm still going to play it a lot though...should be fun as long as I don't play as bad as those people in the GS videos.cecx

yea but the hype is still high cuz the name Halo is in the franchise and the thought of playing it months before it comes out excites many people 

Yeah it's much quieter today, and I'm grateful because it was getting annoying yesterday seeing all those topics about Halo 3.  I might be able to play the eta this weekend if I can rent Crackdown tommorow so I'll have Thursday-sunday to play it.  I'm not getting my hopes too high and i'll be happy if I even get to play it at all.  Otherwise I'll just wait until release because the retail game won't be any different from the beta in terms of gameplay.primehunter326

and i think you have been looking at forum topics with a blindfold on my friend. Almost 8 out of every 10 topics i see are related to the beta. Well, that could b cuz i post mainly in 360 forums. but yea, if you havnt seen it, go look.

P.S and for the record, im not in the beta, and im just excited to read peoples comments about it. Cant wait to flame people who say it sucks, then when they ask me if i have played it say no lmao.

I know, what I meant by that was that I wouldn't really miss out on anything other than a chance to play the game early. I know there will be gameplay tweaks and all of the other stuff they aren't showing in the beta but the core gameplay won't change.

Hmm it seemed worse yesterday as far as topics relating to Halo 3. I may be in the beta and I may not depending on if I can get Crackdown tommorow, then I could play it just for this weekend. Otherwise I'll be in the same boat as you. I was pretty unhappy yesterday because it seemed like I was the only one that wouldn't be in the beta but now the other people that won't be in it are beginning to make themselves heard so I don't feel so left out.

meh...watching the videos made me anticipate it less...  I know its a beta but I'd rather play a game when its complete, not when the graphics look like last gen graphics and there are bugs/glitches that I'd likely have to deal with.  All in all, i really don;t see the fuss.  If its in beta form it means its incomplete...why would I want to play an incomplete game?  I dunno, its juts that i have friends who are like crapping their pants over this and I don't see what the big deal is.

3 whole weeks of a beta, woohoo, why go crazy, this is just bungie screwing with us for some reason.  The game is more demo than beta.  It's too polished to be a beta.  But yeah, I'm excited but, I realize this nothing more than just 3 weeks of, "I CANT WAIT".  So i think before the mass hysteria of want sets in, I'll keep what little bit of reserve for the game I still have.

Its just a Halo game, its not really that serious. They arent even that good of games. The online is the only good thing, and i think that this game is way overhyped. And its not really doing anything good to live up to that. So people arent all that excited about it. Dont get me wrong its going to sell millions of copies. Thats just because of the company, and what they have done before. Im going to play it, but im just going to think its a better looking version of Halo 2

I'd just like to add that I agree with everyone saying that it is overhyped.  That's why I'm fine with just having it for the weekend.  I don't want to feel like I got too into this game before it even came out yet I do want to play it a little just to try it.  Besides I'll still be watching all of the gameplay footage regardless of whether I play it or not so it's not like I won't already know all about it.

 I am very excited for it. I am going to be playing it tomorrow. I am a huge Halo fan. I have been since the first one. I play Halo 2 every night. I think the videos I saw looked amazing. I am so tired of all you haters saying neg things about it. I don't see where a lot of you are coming from. It really doesn't matter to me. I will be playing it tomorrow for sure. WHooo!!! I can't wait.!!

oh yes the hole point of the beta is that bungie is out to get you, and screw w/ your head RUN FOR THE HILLS! there trying to get feed back from there userbase in order to make the game even better. and if it's this polished now, just think of how much more polished it will be come this fall.

its just a beta, but when the real game comes out, everyone will be flippin out and grades would go down.
