Halo 3 beta reminder: check your Bungie box!

by Richard Mitchell { May 11th 2007 at 4:15PM }

Alright, we take it back. During a little What Are You Playing diatribe this morning, we called all those with early "Friends and Family" access to the Halo 3 beta jerks. It turns out you can stick us in the jerk tank now (well, you can at least stick me in there), because we just found our invite tucked away in our Bungie.net message box. Let this be a reminder to dedicated Halo fans that have not yet done so: check your Bungie.net message box! You might just find a happy little surprise.

Now if you'll excuse us, it's time for some beta mayhem.

[Thanks, Stephen]

"Did everyone remember to check their message inbox at Bungie.net...you may just find an invite there today...Sadly, I didn't." From the WRUP post

Can I get some credit here Richard, if not in print on the fancast (I know you guys are gonna talk about it), maybe?

GamerTag: VirgoBlu I'll see you on the battlefield next week. Sensai.

No beta love over here.

alex @ May 11th 2007 8:47PM

you can also buy a F&f INVITE on ebay, i found one. Last i checked it was going for 70$

Jessie @ May 11th 2007 9:21PM

i'm also in the RULE OF THREE but I didn't get an invite! i dont know if it's my Xbox Live Gold expiring 3 months ago that's screwing me over! help.....please??

Oozer @ May 11th 2007 9:23PM

I didn't get one. Then again, my 360 is currently performing the task of being a $400 paperweight. Gotta wait for the UPS man to bring me the coffin. I got into the beta through phase one too. Sigh...

- @ May 11th 2007 9:43PM

u are all fuc*in retards for u who say that i am in the rule of 3 or what not but havent received the message yet. The rule of three, inaddition to the crackdown game and the first way to get into the beta are all going to be able to play the beta on the 16th. those who get to play on the 11 are strictly friends of bungie or ppl who bungie felt should be able to play early, SO SHUT THE FUC* UP DAMN RETARDS-GET UR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE U BIT*H AND MOAN ABOUT IT

Reuben @ May 11th 2007 10:49PM

Jeez, "-". Calm the hell down, you don't have to be such an ass.

Tuan Set @ May 12th 2007 1:33AM

Dude, Im in DLing now, at 27%. I'll venture a bet that I'm the ONLY person in Australia to have it :D

fishb8 @ May 12th 2007 1:18PM

thanks guys, I got invited too! Don't think I would have checked if you didn't write this blog.

Dragod @ May 12th 2007 2:26PM

OH MY GOD. Thank you. I never would have checked... Thank you for making Yesterday the greatest birthday of my life. I saw Spider-Man 3, Bought a Wii Console, and got Halo 3 Beta. On my 15th Birthday, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

I got in, though it was via E-mail (I had been selected beforehand anyway).

I'm trying to enjoy the F+F beta as much as possible, because you hardly find any jackasses online like you would normally.

Though my school grades are probably going to hit rock bottom this month. :\

Highimpact1 @ May 13th 2007 10:13AM

I Got in too!!!
WOOOHOOO!!!
IT's downloading right now!!! I can't contain my exitment! =)

Stephen @ May 14th 2007 10:24AM

Congrats fellas. Eventhough I didn't get in early, I'm still happy and hyped. I just picked up my Elite this weekend down in MD and I was lucky enough to find a Crackdown that included the Beta Invitation too. I'm so hyped that I get to play...2 more days...
