You cant set up your own room AFAIK. Dunno bout giving away your code, is it not tied to your Live account?

Antigone05

Hmmm, I'm already preparing my self for disappointment. Never really liked the Halo games, even though I always got excited coming up to the release dates. Hopefully there's more effort put into the gameplay rather than making it pretty.

What didn't you like about them? Maybe the 1 player in Halo 2 wasn't great but did u never play system link multiplayer? Best fun i've ever had with mates...we used to play for days on end!! Can't wait for it again with halo 3! Just hoping the 1player campaign is better.

And more effort put into the gameplay? What are u talking about...the gameplay was amazing!

How in blazes can you not like Halo????
Honestly, if you like FPS games then there's nothing not to like, unless you have "issues" playing the genre on a joypad that is.
Single player only comes into its own when played on the hogher difficulty levels, when fleeting encounters with covenant forces in normal become full on engagements, sweet!
The covenant point of view levels in the sequel left me a bit deflated, hopefully the new one will put everything right.
Just picked up Crackdown for this Beta, roll on Wednesday!

Well I've grown up playing PC games and when you get Half-Life, something like Halo, coming 4 years later, really isn't anything special. The same with Halo 2. I'd just seen better, so it wasn't that impressive. Now with the 360, you get games like Gears of Was and GRAW2 and I can't picture myself playing them on a PC at all. They show off what the consoles can do and are tailored for consoles. A PC port of them just would be the same (maybe because people would be jerks like me and expect too much ) but the Halo games just didn't have the umph that everyone said they had.

And as for multiplayer, it's no Goldeneye.

I'll give Halo 3 a shot, but I'm expectin it to be all hype and little substance. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I doubt it

I have to say its very good, but as an avid Halo fan I would!

The graphics arent outstanding, just looks a lil jagged around the edges, it plays like Halo, everything is more balanced, new weapons are great also...

The more I played it last night, the better it got (once I got used to the weapon swap button!)

Nope, it says on the Halo website you need a Gold account.

Meh, dont think i'm arsed forking out for a years sub just to play some Halo 3 and laggy GOW every once in a while.

koneko

Why a year? Why not a month, or 3 months, or even those 48-hours-free cards? You don't have to buy a years sub.

So hold the phone.

Ive got Crackdown, and i know where to go to get the Beta, but any ideas when Bungie are putting it up? I know its tomorrow but sure, its tomorrow at 12 tonight.

So will it be an 8am job or is there any chance of me playing it before i go to bed?

Also this will go down as then slowest download in Marketplace history as there will be SO MANY people downloading.
