Well, emails for the first batch of Halo 3 beta testers have apparently been sent out. I got mine this evening *pats self on back*. There's still going to be a couple of more signup periods and the game Crackdown will have a beta disc included, so there's going to be plenty of other opportunities to get a sneak peak at 3. Any one else get in yet?
I was interested in Crackdown before the Beta thing was announced, so I'm planning on making use of that.
I was interested in Crackdown when it was first announced. Now that I've seen it I'm not so sure. Going the comic book appearance route makes sense I guess given the content of the game, but I would have preferred it if it had been in a more realistic looking setting, like Saint's Row or something.
More leaked (crappy quality) shots of Halo 3 for those curious: Spoiler As you probably noticed, these are from the alpha build and "very, very old." The focus for this build was to test networking I believe, as well as make it enjoyable enough to test.
