Wow, Bungie is releasing these stupid updates that practically reveal nothing about Halo 3. Just stuff about "grass" "water" and stupid things that no one wants to reads about.

Theres probably a problem with the Halo 3 beta, and Bungie is just delaying it. Afterall you did skim through the last update, they were saying how using the "X" button caused the game to crash.

Read my blog for more information, stuff in there = inapropriate here.

Yes they are.. Bungie tricked them. The rule of 3 program is stupid, it's just meant for you to buy crackdown. At first, Bungie said the Beta slots where "limited" and now you find out they arent.. Yet the first + second rule of 3 entering only let around 20 thousand people altogether in... It's just meant for people to buy crackdown, the Beta could probably hold over a million people. Seeing how there are countless Crackdown copies, and seeing how all of them could join the Halo 3 beta. Why let only 20k people join in the first 2 steps, while hundreds of thousands could join the last step? Damn bungie, Halo-Fans are certainly getting milked.

But... can't I still jusy buy Halo 3 for sixty bucks? Like any other game?

I mean, I don't really care about anything in the middle. When the time comes, sometime near Christmas, I'll just walk into a store and buy the damn thing. No big drama. No trumpets. No fan-fare. No weep widows. Just a man and a game, walking out of a store.

It seems pretty un-milked and un-screwed to me.

I wouldn't say screwing so much as teasing, and yes it is getting kinda annoying.

The grass and water is all they can talk about without getting fired, and the game crashed because of the x button because the devs forgot to add the function in for that one playtest.

Only the first shipped copies of crackdown get the beta, not the ones after the first shipment.

Bungie is known for being secretive about their games. For one, Frankie doesn't even have to write updates, but he still does because it makes the fans happy. If you have a problem with these stupid updates, then don't read them. I find Frankie's writing humorous and fun to read. I'm not sure if there are any other studios out there who do weekly updates, because I know I can't recall any. The Beta comes out in Spring. Spring doesn't start until March 21st. Today is March 12th. Spring ends on June 21st. Bungie could release it on June 20th for all they carem as long as its in Spring.

Bungie isn't running the public beta nor did they make up the rule of 3. You can thank MS for that.

Edit: Why the hell would Bungie care about who buys Crackdown anyways?

Seriously, no fanboyism... Don't talk dumb. Because you are. Bungie is keeping the fans informed what they are doing in the game. I think its great and most devs should do it.

You are part true. They are pushing the sales with the beta but the game is really good. Worth buying alone.
