Halo 3 Beta Sign Up Starts Dec. 4th
aplusjimages writes "1up.com is reporting that Dec. 4th, will be when Bungie will start taking registrations for the Halo 3 Beta test. This is also the date that the new 60 second commercial will air on ESPN's Monday Night Football. There have already been sightings of gamertags playing Halo 3 Beta online." From the article: "'There will be multiple ways to get involved with Halo 3's public beta and next week's online registration is just the first way.' The registration program will be set up at Halo3.com and will give players a chance to be one of the 'select members to join the unprecedented Halo 3 public beta program.' If you don't get in to the beta via this method, relax, there will be numerous other opportunities to participate in the beta."
So in order to play Halo3, I guess I will have to buy the Vista product. Because mySQL, Python, Kaffeine, GAIM, Open Office, GIMP, Blender, and Mozilla all work for me; On linux.
Yawn...
After the Gears of War lies: http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/screenshots/x360/ge ars_x360_large_1.jpg and the sad reality of what the game actually looks like for real, I hope Bungie is intentionally lowering expectations for the game. Epic's lies about GoW graphics(try to find a REAL direct feed screenshot for the game anywhere) must have put Bungie in a serious ethical bind. Put out bullshit marketing shots or take the honest route and come clean with how the game will actually look. At E3 it looked like they were going with the Epic style high rez bullshit, but the recent much lower quality images look like they are trying to be honest.
"Even in 40 player Resistance matches there has yet to be anyone reporting any lag thanks to Sony's online setup."
Are there even 40 people on Sony's online service right now?! Wow! I guess they sold more than everyone thought!
