Seffiks Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 According to John Porcaro, a global marketing rep for Microsoft, the first new way to enter the beta will be following the "rule of 3". Beginning midnight (EST) on February 1, and ending at 11:59 PM February 3, the first 13,333 people to play three hours of Halo 2 over XBL and register online at Halo3.com will be eligible for the beta program that opens up some time this spring. As an alternate method, initial copies of Microsoft's first-party Xbox 360 game Crackdown will be specially marked, indicating the inclusion of an invite to the Halo 3 beta, which will allow them to download the beta program from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Crackdown will be available in the US on February 20, at a price of $60. http://www.tgdaily.com/2007/01/03/microsoft_halo3_beta/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Mamerro Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 It's also because you live in Puerto Rico and most of the servers you are playing on are located in the states. For instance, I live in Boston and if I play on a server in the northeast, I'll get under 100 milliseconds of lag, if I play on a Chicago server, I'll get a little over 100 milliseconds, and if I play on a California server I'll get nearly 150 milliseconds of lag. See, but this is the thing... when I played with my trial version, I played random ranked games with people in the states. No lag, no problem. I got fucked up cause I sucked. Now I got my paid subscription, and have been playing with friends and co-workers FROM Puerto Rico, so the servers are here, and I get Laggy McLagfest. It gets a little better sometimes, but this is about as good as it gets: It's about 3-4 times worse than that usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyD Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'm usually lookin like that, just gotta compensate i guess. we gotta get a game soon mams, i be seein you on but we never cross paths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a game going but mams couldnt stay up because he was having some hardcore lagging the night before into the wee hours. Then you invited me to a game but me and my bud were playing co-op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Mamerro Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah, I stayed up way too late the night before, shit is seriously hard to stop, lagfest or not. I decided to run from the cops in my gay Supra for 30 minutes in NFSMW and pass out before midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Why is it that the Supra is the best for cop chases on that game? The longest one I ever had lasted just over a half hour and I got away, but every time after that I could only last like about 5 minutes.

El Mamerro Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 ^It runs amazingly well, but getting out of first gear is a fucking bitch to time right. If you get corraled by cops it's easy to get stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After School Special Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 ^^^^^^ Sucky ass grenade tags!!!!! If anyone is a fan of Geometry Wars, here is the best of the best. K4rn4ge GeoWars 10x Multiplier No Bombs This motherfucker has the top score of 360,000,000 something, which if any of you have ever played it, is fucking BANANAS. I peak at 100,000 so far. Still getting my ass kicked at MK3, though I'm about 50 percent now. Problem is people are laying down shit like this Robot Smoke Big Damage Punisher 9 hit 63% UMK3 Ermac Midscreen 100% Combo (asshole, who the fuck plays as ermac anyways...) I almost want to get a retro arcade stick for this game because the buttons are too close to mash appropriately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
