It’s finally here…at least for the public it is. If you weren’t one of the lucky ones to get into the Friends & Family start of the Halo 3 Beta this past weekend, then your chance has come. That is, ofcourse, if you have a copy of Realtime Worlds’ Crackdown. Halo 3 fans who have a copy of Crackdown will be invited to play the Halo 3 Beta in a few short hours. What was once a few thousand players will increase a hundred fold I’m sure. This will make for some very good competition as well as give Bungie some much needed feedback on Halo 3.
I’ve included a small Q&A for some based on questions I’ve seen pop up recently. Are U Ready? It’s about to be Betalicious! I’ll have more on this in the next episode of Unscripted 360.
Do I have to have the game to play?
Yes. The Halo 3 Beta can only be accessed with the game inside your console not with a code. There is no redeem code for Crackdown.
How long can I play the beta?
You can play all night if you’d like or until the beta period ends. Go all out, all night.
Can I rent Crackdown and still play the beta?
Yes. If your local video store has a copy of Crackdown with the Halo 3 Beta marking, then you can play.

Im trying to play the beta, im going to rent it and if it doesnt work im going to buy it, but i have questions
Will any copy of crackdown work, via from launch?
May 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pm

what a scam to make people buy a crap game that wont sell, they have sold out all the halo fans!
May 18th, 2007 at 5:32 am
no one made you buy it dude. you could’ve tried the other ways to get into the beta

Oh hey guys, if you wanna play halo 3 beta do not waste money on a crap game like crackdown. simply rent it! it worked, i rented it when the gamecrazy workers said and i quote “rental copies of crackdown doesnt have the verification key paper with it, so no you can not” ha! dumbshits. the verification cose is built inside, you just have to be the first one to rent it. and it will work if your the first one to rent it before five days prior to launch of the beta because no one would have brought it back so soon. and yes all he crackdowns have the beta, not just specially marked packages. prior to launch all the CD’s had the beta. let me repeat do not waste money on crackwhore… i mean crackdown. Im playing it now and wanted to let you halo 3 gamers out there know, you will not be dissapointed! (though graphically it is very similar to 1) Play on!!!!!

Dual swords for us?
How does brute hammer work?

is the assault rifle longer range? i have seen the crosshair and it looks smaller
Love, a halo 3 noob.

i haven’t heard anything about the single campaign. Bungie isn’t talking.
