The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Crackdown disc needs to be in drive to play H3 beta

Submitted by rapture on Fri, 02/09/2007 - 3:42am.

Unless you've been specifically invited into the HALO 3 beta, you will need to have the Crackdown disc in your drive if you're going to play the beta. Yes you'll download it to your hard drive, but you'll only be able to launch HALO 3 beta via a menu in Crackdown. The HALO 3 beta won't show up in your "Games > Demos and More" blade on your XBOX 360.

HALO 3 beta invite card in Crackdown

My guess is that you'll be able to rent Crackdown and play the beta so long as you have the disc in your drive.

I also guess that Crackdown'ers will be the last group to get to participate in the H3 beta until, if ever, it goes wide open to the public.

Thanks Shizzle for the scoop.

I think I might buy Crackdown. Just so I can say to all my peeps that I played the Halo 3 beta. I'm joking, of course, I want to make a contribution to Bungie and help them out with feedback. Buying CD seems like the only thing I can do to help. :)

Renters around the world cry in agony.

Crackdown is a great game, so I don't think many people will be angry.
