Halo 3 beta ends as a successDVDBack23 @ Jun 13, 2007 21:00 | 15 comments
Microsoft is now turning its focus towards Halo-related merchandise by allowing pre-orders of accessories such as special edition controllers and headsets. There will also be a special edition Halo Zune and a Marvel comic series by September.
Microsoft and Bungie launched the beta last month and the strain on XBL was huge. Downloads of the beta equaled 350 terabytes of data.
"The participation in the 'Halo 3' beta was staggering," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. "Witnessing such a great reaction to a small portion of the game has been inspiring."
Halo 3 will hit shelves on September 25th.

Comment by: gallagher (Jun 13, 2007 21:31) I think the Halo-fan world is divided in two. Those who like the story and those who just like the multiplayer gameplay. I fall into the latter. I wish they would continue to release new boards and allow other gametypes to emerge that use the same controls. There could be a police game, a military game, etc. The various controls are what make Halo unique. |

Comment by: wetsparks (Jun 16, 2007 02:51) I'll be interested when Halo 2 is "fixed" so that I can play it without getting Vista, same with Halo 3. |

Comment by: tehjoker (Jun 16, 2007 19:49) Why is everyone so bummed out about this? The Halo 3 beta sucked because it was, to me, the same gameplay and experience as Halo 1 and 2.
 Factory 2.6 > 2.71 HEN C/D and Devhook > 2.6 > 2.71 again > 1.50 > 3.02 OE A/B > 1.50 > 3.03 OE A/A2/B/C NO EXPLOIT = NO DOWNGRADER. so...THERE IS NO DOWNGRADER FOR 3.10/3.11/3.30/3.40!! |
