[2 Minutes Turkish]

Hmm thats true, Modern Warfare 2 had millions of people playing and I dont think the first glitch was found almost a month until after release.

That's what I mean.

Weapon balancing can be sorted out at retail.

I care about the hackers, and cheaters more than weapon balancing. Patches can easilt take care of weapon balancing. At least the game can still be played in a semi-fun manner and new strategies can arise to counter the weapon imbalance, different modes can be played too.

But the hackers just ruin the game for EVERYONE, no matter what mode they're in.

With the Beta only running for two weeks, a couple of small glitches MAY be found, but the real fucken prick cheats and hakcers will now run rampant on the retail release a la Modern Warfare 2.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I'm just glad my last exam is on the 4th next week, but dang, I was hoping for a little bit longer of a period to play it.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Ah, that's right. I'd forgotten that it was a bug specific to the Crackdown implementation, not with the Beta on Live

Spoiler

because I was busy playing via the F&F code

. Still, the ODST method of download has been tested with the Intel menu content already released, so it should go smoother.

Also, they won't have to work with a third company based in Scotland (Realtime Worlds) if something does go wrong.

I am in so many contests for a beta code.

I am not going to win any of them.

 

[Shake Appeal]

I am in a contest for urk's compassion and for his heart.

:lol This is how I feel. Though in the off chance I do somehow snag some extras, I'll definitely hook some GAFfers up.

 

[Oozer3993]

I have exams until the 17th Of all the weeks in the year

Ditto

 

[Sean P.]

So when is Reach's exact release date?

 

[Imperial Hot]

:lol This is how I feel. Though in the off chance I do somehow snag some extras, I'll definitely hook some GAFfers up.

Remember me...

I much prefer the ones that have drawings instead of who can answer/respond quick enough. The fast response/first to answer contest rewards those who don't have jobs or go to school.

Remember me...

Sure, if you remember me, in case I don't get any. :lol

 

[Havok]

I am in so many contests for a beta code.

I have the same feeling :lol

Its to the point where I know I'll forget to check the ones that require me to check the site for PMs or whatever because I can't possibly keep them all in my memory.

 

[Imperial Hot]

Deal.

I have the same feeling :lol

Its to the point where I know I'll forget to check the ones that require me to check the site for PMs or whatever because I can't possibly keep them all in my memory.

What's worse, not winning a code, or not realizing you won a code through some obscure contest until the public beta has started/is over?

 

[Slightly Live]

So when is Reach's exact release date?

Unknown.

There are tons of us with this scenario. Some of us will get no codes. Some of us will get many codes. => HaloGAF F&F waiting list!

I know what your tryin to say and I also agree that the beta is too short but some of the worst mw2 glitches were found in the first 2 weeks like the javelin glitch and the care package glitch. So even though it is only slightly over 2 weeks long, the beta is long enough to find some ridiculous glitches. But also remember this is bungie, in halo 3 i dont think there was ever a game breaking glitch like any of mw2 glitches. In the halo 3 beta they only found a few small glitches like the magnum bxr and that was it. And in halo 3 proper there was almost no significantly bad glitches. Just small insignificant ones. So if your worried about glitches like the ones found in mw2, dont be.

YES! Let's do a list!

I need to be on that.

Uh, I consider standbying, superbouncing, getting out of maps, and that weird ghost thing people used to pull on Burial Mounds pretty "gamebreaking".

 

[Lunchbox]

So when is Reach's exact release date?

when your school starts

 

[CrazedArabMan]

:lol This is how I feel. Though in the off chance I do somehow snag some extras, I'll definitely hook some GAFfers up.

Did you know that we used to have a class together.

Wait no, that was some else here.

 

[Hey You]

So when is Reach's exact release date?

I think it's a little too early for that.

The Reach hasn't even dropped yet.

 

[Plywood]

Deal.

What's worse, not winning a code, or not realizing you won a code through some obscure contest until the public beta has started/is over?

Sweet.

You know, I've always found your avatar quite fetching. *cough* *cough*

:lol, I can't make you any promises.

 

[RefigeKru]

I get paid on tuesday.

There aren't going to be any ODST copies left are there? Or even worse, they'll be out of my price range. /sadpanda

 

[darkressurection]

Oh god if you guys are really gonna start a list, make another thread. Don't crap up this one.

 

[Loam]

But also remember this is bungie, in their halo games i dont think there was ever a game breaking glitch like any of mw2 glitches.

Halo 2 had several incredible glitches at launch, granted it never had a public beta that I'm aware of.

 

[Plywood]

Oh god if you guys are really gonna start a list, make another thread. Don't crap up this one.

I took it out.

 

[Darkflight]

Oh god if you guys are really gonna start a list, make another thread. Don't crap up this one.

The list is basically everyone in the thread anyway :lol

[Chinner]

After many days work and a 10 hour stretch in the library today, got my work ready for tomorrows deadline. I'm hoping that one of these competition or f&f deliver so that I can chill after all this work.

 

[darkressurection]

I took it out.

I wasn't really talking about you so much. I was talking about the people saying "put me on the list!11!" even though the list never gets fulfilled.

Now I have to put you on my list. D:

Yeah, I'll doubt we'll get much codes, but I'd like to spread the Halove if I get some extras.

 

[biosnake20]

Uh, I consider standbying, superbouncing, getting out of maps, and that weird ghost thing people used to pull on Burial Mounds pretty "gamebreaking".

Oh sorry i meant to say halo 3 not the series as a whole. Standbying isnt really a game glitch it has to do with the modem and its basically in every online game in one form or another. In halo 3 it was kind of hard to get out of maps and in reach if your outside the map u r killed in a certain amount of time.

 

[Schmitty]

After many days work and a 10 hour stretch in the library today, got my work ready for tomorrows deadline. I'm hoping that one of these competition or f&f deliver so that I can chill after all this work.

That's what I'm hoping for. All next week is finals, so I'd rather get it Thursday and play it over the weekend.

 

[Shake Appeal]

In a world where I had two codes, I would contrive the most labyrinthine and fiendish set of trials and trivia that HaloGAF has ever seen, ultimately rewarding only that faithful fool who was willing to jump through every last one of my ever receding, ever replenishing, and forever flaming hoops.

It would be the Calvinball of giveaway contests.

Where is that list of the Halo podcast entries?

I haven't seen it for a couple pages, I forgot the name of the dude that was updating it.

There will almost always be some cheap copies online. Its 30 bux new in amazon and even cheaper if used.

 

[Slightly Live]

Ssparks is updating it, I think.

 

[Chinner]

That's what I'm hoping for. All next week is finals, so I'd rather get it Thursday and play it over the weekend.

Yeah I've got another deadline next Friday, so having some time to chill before would be nice. We can hope, right?

 

[Tashi]

Ban bet? :lol

oh fuck no :lol

 

[Toddler]

What about those of use that wave the Halo flag high on other gaming based forums?

I don't want to take credit for the people's work here that I share (this is where all the magic happens), but i'm spreading the gospel proudly. I've even got a widely known Sony "shill" convinced to cop a 360 and Reach this fall.

Is that friendly enough?

 

[darkressurection]

Believe.

I have had somewhat dubious luck getting into betas lately. All the hope in my heart has been replaced by cold, icy, nothingness.

 

[Doodis]

Please don't do a list in this thread.

Edit: I likely sounded like an asshole... I have no problem with the idea of the list, I just hate how quickly it clutters up a thread.

edit: think its important to be on next page.
