Your Halo 3 beta download future via Crackdown photo

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, but I don't believe in my gaming travels it has. Want to know how you'll get the Halo 3 beta when you buy Crackdown? Well, that picture tells you. Right in the "Downloads" section of the Crackdown menu is the option to download the Halo 3 beta. Mmmm, smell that? It's Spartan flesh.

God I can't stand waiting for this game anymore. Getting Halo 3 Beta, that's great, but seriously, I want to be able to max out my stats and cause massive damage in the city.

I want this freakin' game!

Yeah, I don't know why, but it feels so much more rewarding when i get an achievement in that game. It's like a sweet surprise.

You can't download it yet. Notice the "check back later" message.

so i wonder how they are going to dish the demo out. Do all versions of Crackdown have the download menu? From what i understand there is a limited number of beta spots from Crackdown. Maybe it will be the first people to dl it.

If so, then that sucks since it comes out later in Japan and Europe.

I can imagine Summa giving real-time updates about him downloading the demo just to prolong the agony of everyone else having to wait for it.

So... How are they going to handle rentals? Halo fanboys will prob. think they can rent it and download the beta, no one has talked about this.

summa did you cream yourself the first time your played the real game?
Buster's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/04/2007 07:58

they probably feel more rewarding to get, becuase instead of forcing yourself to play to get the acheivement(seriously...(in gears) you're just playing the game and the acheivemnts sound fun to get

I'm just not aware of the achievements, so when I just do something in the game and it says I got one, it kinda feels cool.

I've noticed a shitton of little jokes in the city. I've also noticed there is a lot of adult gentlemen's clubs, or at least advertising for them, in this city.

It's a town of whores!

A town of whores you say? I'll have to investigate this further.

@SempraFi

GameFly has this on their site when you look at Crackdown.

"Note: The Halo 3 Beta is included on the Crackdown disc, but will not be unlocked until Microsoft activates the Beta via Xbox Live (date unknown). Once unlocked, you must have the Crackdown disc to play the Beta, and it will be available for a limited time only."

so by the sounds of that, i think i might be able to rent it and possibly get the halo 3 beta cause it is on the disc. thats what i plan on doing. if it doesnt happen, oh well. idc about the halo 3 beta that much, im no fanboy (hated halo2). i will rent a game for it and even buy the game at a discounted price if it is good (i never pay $60), but i will not pay any price if the game sucks just so i can play the beta.
