The Halo 3 Beta will be released on May 16 at 5AM. Oddly enough, this is the day my husband will turn 33. Do you think those two things will be enough to get the day off? 
This is your chance to get to try new levels, weapons, vehicles, and try out some new game types. Maps shipping with the beta include Snowbound, Hugh Ground, and Valhalla - all new to Halo 3. Try your hand at the new Mongoose ATV, and gun-up with the new and improved Assault Rifle, Brute Spiker, Spike Grenades, and the killer Spartan Laser.
You can only have access to the game if you were either part of the Rule of Three promotion or if you scored (or plan to score) a copy of the Crackdown game that is flying off store shelves. I bought Crackdown on the day it was released, hoping that the Beta would be live at that point (moron…) but since it wasn’t I’ve had an insane time playing through that killer game.
But soon my $60 purchase will be rewarded as I glimpse the sweet visor of the Master Chief in all his energy-shielded glory. So, gnash your teeth with envy or pick up your own copy of Crackdown and play with me next month. My gamertag is Duzins. Prepare for pwnage.
