"HALO 3" Beta not coming with Crackdown?

By: Karl Schneider

In January I reported that Microsoft had confirmed that specially marked boxes of the game Crackdown would include Halo 3 Beta keys.  It was widely assumed that the beta would be beginning on or very near that date.

Apparently, that may not be the case.

According to 1up.com, the only date we have been given for the release of the Halo 3 beta is 'Spring', and the Halo 3 beta will not be playable when Crackdown releases on February 20th.

There is no word as to if the initial copies of Crackdown will be good for a Halo 3 beta entry whenever it is released.


KJ's Take:  Bungie is the king of delays.  That said, I expect the Halo 3 beta to launch right around the late March launch date of the PS3 in Europe.
