    It is the multiplayer section that they are testing and can only be played between those dates, and only from within the Crackdown game menus. After the 6th you will not be able to play it anymore.

    Anyone seen the videos they released? To be brutally honest, it looks like absolute sh!te.

    Those are videos of the alpha version though so will not even be the same as what we will get in the beta.

    I just watched the new documentary there and it's got allot of gameplay footage in it.

    Initially, I have to say, it certainly isn't raising the bar in terms of graphics. Saying that, they're pumping the effort into the gameplay which is what'll make or break the game.

    TBH graphically it doesn't look any different to Halo 2 but as was stated these are from the alpha stage (from the date it looks like nov 05). Gameplay wise the bubble shield is a great idea!

    Some of the lighting and the floors with some reflections look decent, for an alpha build
