Jealous of all who got codes. Can't wait to play when it's available to us peons with ODST :lol

 

[Gui_PT]

How the hell is everyone getting codes?

This shit is depressing

 

[KidA Seven]

Oh man, watching Tashi and VhFive on the stream is sweet.


Some guy failed trying to assassinate Tashi while he was away, and I think VhFive saved him. :lol

Orbital > Sword Base

Now you say that... Orbital could be cool with Jetpack.

The only thing I am afraid about Reach, it's if there will have some "conventional" symmetric maps. By conventional, I mean on one level, not a vertical map. With the appearance of the jetpack, I am afraid that every map will be thought with every AA in mind.

Or maybe I am starting to be old fashioned.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Twitter is like crashing right now. Every once in a while I get a Connection Interrupted message. God damn.

 

[Plywood]

No code

 

[LunaticPuma]

Now I feel left out. {see Devin's pic}

 

[Gomu Gomu]

I keep checking my shacknews inbox. Hoping to see a 1 unread message .

 

[Diablohead]

So I go away for 2 hours (playing ODST) to come back to about 20 new pages :lol I searched for the live stream on justin.tv and it's letting me watch without any region limit errors, woop!

Against my better judgment i facebooked at work to get a code from halo waypoint's occasional updates. Guy at work comes to my desk suddenly, asks me a question, i give him the answer.. MAYBE 9 seconds. Refresh, code was up already, already taken.

Guy comes back, sees me on facebook, Halo Waypoint, xbox.com. Shakes his head, "Dude, DUDE. Just wait until Tuesday."

What have I become?

A Halo fan

 

[Phloxy]

EVERYONE
Go to expertzone, just put in gamestop for a company name, and pick a store number near you and its phone number, do the odst quiz, and presto, beta code, go now, hurry the eff up!

 

[Natakuu]

Man, the number of people getting codes is blowing my mind. I must have horrible luck:lol

 

[Spasm]

That sucks dude.

If by some fluke I win a code from one of the contests I entered I will gladly send it your way.

Thanks, but on second thought, maybe it's not such a good idea... My wife'll kill me... Playing Halo when I should be job searching. :lol

 

[zewone]

I'm in.

*cool shades*

For those who have a twitter account : http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/statuses/13080811871

Why do I have to be at work?

 

[Gui_PT]

Wish I could be playing with those guys.

Oh well. Gonna go get my emo makeup

Thanks, but on second thought, maybe it's not such a good idea... My wife'll kill me... Playing Halo when I should be job searching. :lol

[GhaleonEB]

The gun play, movement, jumping - everything, really - just does not feel like a Halo game to me. Sword Base is a convoluted mess of design. Powerhouse is good, but I just am not enjoying the gameplay at all. I feel disconnected from the action.

 

[georgc]

I'll be watching that stream all day on my iphone. Can't wait will reach comes out.

 

[darkressurection]

Goddamnit, I leave for a little while and more people get codes.

 

[Kibbles]

The beta seems like it's taking an eternity to DL. I'll post some impressions later when I've had some good time with it.

The gun play, movement, jumping - everything, really - just does not feel like a Halo game to me. Sword Base is a convoluted mess of design. Powerhouse is good, but I just am not enjoying the gameplay at all. I feel disconnected from the action. Thumbs down.

Yikes.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Wish Tashi would hop on with some impressions as well.

*Checks you for a beard* Hmm. Hand me your agonizer, Now.

 

[WJD]

Is there any way for a UKer to get a code? All these sweepstake things seem to be US only.

Bungie are xenophobic confirmed.

We need to put you behind the wheel of something, maybe. To be honest, I remember Halo 3 feeling weird after 2 and not enjoying my first game or two of the beta.

 

[Diablohead]

I'm in.

*cool shades*

Be afraid when you go to sleep...

 

[Magni]

Sorry, this page is unavailable

WHAT IS THE POINT OF DOING THESE THINGS IF FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND XBOX WEBSITES KEEPS GOING DOWN.

Fuck it, Expertzone, here I come (I'll probably work for GAME this summer, so fuck it, right?)

Uhh ohh That doesn't sound too good. Lets hope that it is something that they can fix.

 

[Schmitty]

Wish Tashi would hop on with some impressions as well.

He's too busy playing :lol

I'm going to play for like 10 hours after it's done DL'ing and I'll give my take too.

I noticed this too. But the most US Contest are open for us Europeans, too

Did you have similar feelings about the Halo 3 beta at first? It might just be hard to adjust to a new game?

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

I know this is OT but I was browsing Bungie.net for a random key and saw they did made abuse. Never knew that.

And I used to play the mess out of that game back in the day. The more you know...

 

[RdN]

... Said the lady. Too late, again

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

So what does this code do? Let you play the game 3 or 4 days earlier? :lol

*plays super street fighter 4* I can wait. But id like to see less bragging and more youtube videos. All you guys have capture cards... or something to record gameplay and upload it right???

 

[Gareth Bale]

EVERYONE
Go to expertzone, just put in gamestop for a company name, and pick a store number near you and its phone number, do the odst quiz, and presto, beta code, go now, hurry the eff up!

How do i find out the store number of a gamestop in denver?

 

[Oozer3993]

Oh man, watching Tashi and VhFive on the stream is sweet.


Some guy failed trying to assassinate Tashi while he was away, and I think VhFive saved him. :lol

I had 2 great sticks on VH in my second game ever. Saved that film immediately. Speaking of which, you can now save while in a lobby:

Start ->
File Browser ->
History ->
Films & Clips ->
Select the game, hit A and save.

There's quite a few button presses, but it's nice that it's there.

P.S. You can change your vote during the Veto screen. Nice touch. And maps load very quickly, and after the map and gametype are decided.

WHAT!? :lol

 

[Schmitty]

I would assume Gamestop.com would have that info

 

[Backfoggen]

Lol at the twitter code. I tried every number BUT the 7.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Missed the Twitter code as well...God damn it. I thought to myself...What character would Bungie take out...7? Nah too obvious...Went through letters first...It was 7. God damn it.
