    They announce the realese, the day of the beta BEGINING? so they already know the beta is fine, and just needs a few tweaks, no need for BETA feedback :rolleyes:

    I was thinking that myself, as it is going to be the end of this 'story arc' according to Bungie.

    Obviously they are confident they have no major problems and are just stress testing net code/weapon balance. Remember the closed beta has been running worldwide for a few months now.

    Still think it defeats the purpose of the public BETA. There basically just using it as a demo so players can get a taste and go out and buy it on launch day. Pretty bad form tbh.Other than testing how it netowks on LIVE, and any bugs, I dont think they should have set an actual launch day yet.

    Dont think you can see my reasoning. I dont want a buggy game on launch. That's all. Also dont want them to make it ****e like h2 was. Lets pretend there are huge problems discovered in the beta (Im sure there wont be, but really dont see the point in a public beta and they have already decided when the game will be ready to ship?:confused:), and they dont have time to fix them, launch the game 26th september, and we have to wait for patches etc.. That would be ****e.

    Why wouldn't they have time to fix it? Unless they're not done with the singleplayer yet, they still have a good while before the game is released. They have done beta testing, they know what to expect, any feedback they get now will in all likelihood be nothing major, and won't take that long to fix. It's not like they announced it's being released next month.

    We see you're reasonsing.

    You're Irish and want to moan and groan about something.

    Any _HUGE_ problems would more than likley have been ironed out during the closed BETA.

    Best.Homecoming Present.EVAR! :D

    Also, Grumpy, it's quite easy to alter things to do with balance in a well programmed game, and I'm pretty sure Bungie know something about programming games. If the beta does reveal any massive game breaking issues, they will have time to fix them (it has not gone gold, just a date has been set) but the main purpose of the beta in this case would be stress-testing and working out balance permutations that are impossible to discover without a sufficient number of people.
