Yes, we had a
rough start at the beginning, but we soon got into the swing of things and have had a lot of fun these past few weeks as
tripmines exploded,
Banshees flew out into space, and
custom games were created. But all the
Halo 3 beta goodness will come to an end tonight as Bungie pulls the metaphorical plug at midnight pacific time. So we advise everyone to jump online, play a few games, and pull off a few last Spartan laser kills, because you'll have to wait a few months to get your next
Halo 3 fix. We bid you fine farewell
Halo 3 beta, you were all that we had hoped for and more. We'll see you in September.

I just wanted to say thanks to Bungie for the opportunity to get a little taste of this game. The experience was surprisingly polished, as it was a beta (delta) I was expecting lots of lag and pop-in and glitching, but it was incredibly well put together and in many ways is better than most games out. This really excites me to think how much better the final build will be! Halo 3 will make some heads turn come September 25th!

Yeah, like Jeff I currently have a busted 360 (well its in texas or on its way back, but I can't use it) thanks to the red ring, I didn't need it for the rest of this month but it had to die during the beta. Nice MS.

Hey Dac, not to be annoying, but most North American 360s are made in Redmond, Washington. I live there. :)

I've only played a few times because I don't have the beta and only played at a friend's house. Even so, I was thoroughly impressed in all respects and can't wait for September 25.

There has got to be a way to mod the 360's to have them retain the halo 3 software and play using something like xboxconnect. Anyone think this is possible? Of course, you'd never be able to update your 360 or go online ever again, but I think a lot of halo fanboys would sacrifice that, since halo is the only game they really use the online features of the xbox for anyway.

I think they probably got so much good data and feedback out of this, I can't wait until the September release to see how they've polished it all...

Here's my plan. We tell bungie they should let us continue playing beta as long as possible until we either have to go somewhere or sleep or whatever. As in, a Beta marathon, when you can't play beta any longer your time is up.
