Halo 3 Beta question

[OcR Dragon]

Hey I was wondering what time 12:00 AM PDT is in EST?


The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT.

I was just looking back to see what time it was going to be available but don't know what time zone that is. I was thinking about trying to download it at around 12 AM but not sure.

4:00 AM for EST. Also...anyone know how they send the code, email, bungie.net, or xbox live message?

[OcR Dragon]

4:00 AM for EST.

Thanks. I think they will send the code to the same email that they told you that you were picked, I'm not sure though. I have Crackdown, but maybe Envy might know.

[OcR Death]

Halo3.com is reporting 5am PDT, Thats 8am Eastern. might want to double check the times before you get up at 4 in the morning.

[OcR BigBogFrog]

Yeah I noticed that. Well thats 7AM for me :D

[i AwoN i]

Yeah I think it's 8 AM eastern. I'll be on that a lot tomorow.

[OcR Envy]

Yes, 8AM EST 5PM PDT are the scheduled start times for downloads. I would assume all Phase 1 and Phase 2 emails will go out right before or exactly on that time.

[OcR BigBogFrog]

Ok the code its through email...thanks for clearing that up Envy.

[i AwoN i]

Ohhh wait...how does this work? I thought I put in crackdown and when h3 beta becomes available I just hit download where it has it in the crackdown menu options? I hope I'm not supposed to do something through email I gave b.net my email like 5 months ago for the beta, I have no idea what email I gave them.

The code in the email is just for people that got in by Rule of Three. What you said is right for going through Crackdown.

Yeah Crackdown doesn't require any codes. You just have to put the game in, make sure your signed into XBL. Then go to Downloads in the main menu of Crackdown, and then click on Halo 3 Beta and it will download it. You will always need the game though to access the beta once its downloaded.


Yes, 8AM EST 5PM PDT are the scheduled start times for downloads.

Noooo, that sucks lol. I was planning on downloading it at 2 AM =/ Oh well.

[OcR cha0s]

Oh shit! Has anyone else who got in by the Rule of Three or the first drawing received their email? On bungie, it said that it should have already come, but I don't have it. It could have been automatically deleted by my filter, meaning I couldn't get the code and couldn't play the beta. That would be a real bummer.

Oh wow that would really suck, I don't think so though I'm sure they will send you out the code as soon as it becomes available. Because if you had the code now you would be able to use it I think.

[OcR Asians]

I hope they come in with some miracle Phase 4 Beta Tryout!

FOR ALL THOSE WHO DIDN'T BUY CRACKDOWN AND/OR ARE BUNGIE FAMILY FRIENDS.

Yaay. =)

[OcR Envy]

Their lying if they said they got their code from Phase 1 or 2 yet. I got in on Phase 2 and haven't gotten anything.

[OcR Rhino]

Really I thought they sent that stuff out when it gave you the congrats letter. They better hurry there asses up so people can play when it goes live.

[OcR Asians]

Uh, I rented Crackdown, and should it have a code inside or something for the Beta, or is it in the game >_< ?

[OcR Dragon]

It will be under Downloads on the Main menu in the game. And no there is no codes for it, you will just see an option for Halo 3 Beta download.

Also the Video I saw the guy went into Marketplace, then left and the Halo 3 Beta was right above the Markteplace option.

[i AwoN i]

Hey I'll be on a lot tomorrow, just let me know whoever wants to play /needs an extra.

[OcR Asians]

Alright alright, good =). Thanks Drag.

So it worked Asians? Man I should've just rented it...I was thinking of how much I'm really going to get for it because I bet once the beta is over there will be thousands of people trying to sell it.
