last i heard it was another on the pile of "refused a rating", which just means it's really hard to find. Won't be stocked by most shops.

I'm not buying Crackdown for the Halo 3 beta. I'm buying it for fucking Crackdown.
I have been mildly interested in this game for some time now. The inclusion of a glimpse of Halo 3 sweetens the deal.
Though, admittedly, I all but loathe Halo. No so much the game itself but the type of person that gravitates towards it as if it were the only fucking FPS anyone ever made. Ever.

Yeah as usual a GTA style game wasn't given a rating which means it#s hard to find. Luckily I have an indie store that will sell it.

And it looks like it still gets released in Austria.
Man, I love that no one cares about violent games here.
WOW. WOW. Congratulations- you're a true work of sh*t. You truly believe I don't have a gold account. Listen up dickwad- I have four, two for each of the 360's I own. I have 27 games, two LCD 40' flatscreens for all of them, a large house, and I would bet a lot that I make more than you ever will hope to. so f u
Is the Halo 3 beta gonna be on a seperate disc? I'm buying Crackdown for Crackdown and hate Halo, so it's pretty much useless to me. I'll probably give it away to someone here, if that's doable (not tied to your Crackdown somehow)... But now I'm tempted to just film myself snapping the beta disc and peeing on it, and posting it to those forums. Eesh.
EDIT: I dedicate page 3 to creative means of destroying beta discs, and making fanbois melt down.

Poop. Semen. Both.
Also blood infected with AIDS. Yeah you can still play your Halo 3. But you'll get AIDS, motherfucker!
I usually regret playing betas for more than a very brief checking shit out period, because playing it warts and all always seems to lessen the impact of the finished product and thus isn't usually worth it.
Well, this thread is a milestone. It is the first and last time I ever visit the Xbox Forums. Seems like just about everyone that quoted it went to the same thread I did. Ugh, it's like a breeding ground for the putrescent wastrels of Gaming Society (top hat and monocle, lol). No offense to the perfectly normal and intelligent people that traffic those forums, but I could not bear to withstand the terrors wrought.
But that isn't really the topic of discussion, so I will attempt to keep from deviating again.
It is rather sad that I didn't hear hide nor hair of Crackdown until now. It seems like a really good game, and it will be overshadowed by this Halo 3 beta packed along with it. As others have said, these people would probably bitch and moan less if they just got the beta itself for sixty bucks and not had it packed with Crackdown. I have to wonder how the people that actually worked on the game (Crackdown) feel. What is it like to work on a game, put all your effort into making something that others can enjoy, only to realize that more than half the people that buy it will more than likely not play it.
Another terrible thing is the Halo fanboi treatment towards the game and towards the beta. Beta releases for console games are rare, and they should be god damned appreciative that someone is charitable enough to offer them this gift. They have been given an opportunity to participate in the beta for a game that they seem to truly like and adamantly worship, only to spit back in the faces of those offering it to them. And, hell, I bet most of these Halo 'fans' won't even help with the Beta.
And also, don't misinterpret what I am saying. I like Halo. It was a rather enjoyable console FPS. But its disciples have more or less gained my ire with their constant and rampant stupidity.
Because Halo attracts the high-school/college gamer whose only other game is Madden, you know the one-everyone knows that guy.
What is this. What are you doing?
Why does Halo get such a bad rep? Not everyone who plays Halo is this neanderthal. I love Halo, can't stand sports games, the last football game I loved was Tecmo Super Bowl and the last basketball game was Double Dribble, the last baseball game was some robot oddity that came on the NES as well. I do secretly love golf games though, but don't tell anyone or I'll f***in' kill you. I mean it.

It's been made abundantly clear that Ten O'Clock is time for Rainbow Six. It is not time for other games! You might think that it is, but it isn't. Don't show up at 10:05! That's not when it is. It is earlier.
Well of coarse this news creates much angryness from gamers all around the globe! Gmers dont will to pay 60 dollars for that Crackwhore game! Fans all around the world are deservate of this advanced playing of halo 3 game! Maybe they should let free play for all the great fans of the world still playing Halo 2 online! They know the bestest! This is not made for the people buying Crackdown obviously! Halo 2 fans can make Halo 3 beta top fun1 I don't want Crackwhore! Definately dissapointing.
you said yourself, you'd hardly heard anything of this game. I reckon that's the case for a lot of people out there. What people have heard of, is Halo 3. A move like this will no-doubt sell far more copies of Crackdown than had originally been anticipated. That's no slur on the game, just it may well have been another slow-burning success. Like this, it's suddenly thrust into the public. Of course, it's up to the game to now hold its own, but i'd wager there's far more people going to be playing it now, than there would've been, meaning there's a far greater chance of turning it into a reusable franchise than a one-hit wonder.
I can't recall the last time an official forum for any game / company / MMO wasn't totally inhabited by a cesspool of mouth-breathing retards.
I'm a huge fan of Halo but I sure as fuck don't want to play the demo, and to be honest I hope Bungie ignores most of these idiots input because they've already made 2 stellar games and I trust them to wrap up the franchise right.

True, Halo 3 will cause sales for Crackdown to rise. However, it really is a shame that the game wasn't given the chance to stand on it's own. It seems like a genuinely good game after looking it over, and tossing in a beta for, I suppose, one of the most anticipated games of the new year cheapens the quality overall. Besides, connecting it with Halo 3 draws a certain amount of unwanted attention from the frothing throng.
How exactly is a Halo 3 beta a hinderance on the game. I think its a pretty fucking cool bonus. Everyones just being whiney bitches for one reason or the other.
Why? It would be great to incentivise[spelling?] Live.
'GET BETAS WITH GOLD MEMBERSHIP!'
But no, microsoft is making a stupid move that is also smart at the same time. There will be people who cave in and spend $60 for a beta. [There are other sweepstakes to play this as well, but they're just as stupid and ridiculous.]
[FYI I agree with the 1up podcast and too am in agreement with their opinion on this matter]

yeah, it's a bit of a shame it's not getting a chance on its own, but when you look at how sales of Viva Pinata are low, and there are other games that are genuinely good, but are falling short of expectation, i'd much rather a stunt like this that might actually boost sales and get a good game into more homes. At the end of the day, if no-one plays it, we won't get more.
If anyone wants to know the beta probably won't be in a disk and isn't going to be available when you get crackdown. It will probably just be a code so you can download it in the spring or something.

It'd be funny if it were on the disc, though. Especially if you had to load up Crackdown to play the demo.
Even if the beta is just a code on a piece of paper you enter into Xbox Live somewhere you'll have to open Crackdown to get it out. I can't imagine someone paying $60, taking out the beta code, and trading Crackdown back in without playing it.
I think MS and the devs believe once people play Crackdown they won't want to get rid of it right away. The Halo 3 beta is a way to get people to try Crackdown and it'll work.

From my understanding, there's no 'code' that comes with the game, each first-shipment copy (or specially marked copies within first shipment, that is) contains the beta-key on the disc itself. So, you load up Crackdown, and that's your invite to the beta.

So im assuming it works like this, I stick Crackdown in, it says "sup beta" and automatically binds the code or whatever to my gamertag. If I put this on someone elses 360 afterwards, it should be like "nah beta". Right?

I believe so. The only thing we received on the matter was a company email explaining how the beta would be accessed, but I imagine it's a one-time use thing, yeah.

I have this mental image of a guy trying to play the BETA with as little exposure to Crackdown as possible, seeing the title screen, and then recoiling in horror and turning to dust.
