"First path" to the beta?
Posted By: Stonesand <sandstone@gmail.com>Date: 11/30/06 1:31 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Halo 3 Beta information (Sep7imus [subnova])

: It says, in its relevant parts:
: In conjunction with the ad, Microsoft today unveiled further details and an
: official call to entry for the “Halo 3” beta program. Beginning Monday,
: Dec. 4, by visiting http://www.halo3.com , will be able to register
: for the opportunity to be one of the select members to join the
: unprecedented “Halo 3” public beta program, scheduled to kick off in
: spring 2007. Today’s announcement confirms the first path of entry for
: gamers to participate in the beta program and be among the first to
: experience the most anticipated game of 2007.

: bold added for emphasis

That FIRST PATH OF ENTRY bit says to me that there will be multiple ways to score a seat in the beta. Other ways will likely be:

~Art contests
~Community involvement
~Other web sites having a set of beta seats to hand out
~Halo 3 Slurpee cups with Prize Codes!
~Wash as many Bungie employee cars as you can in 5 minutes - winner gets a seat!
~Brownies.

Unlikely ways to get a seat in the beta:

~Halo 2 multiplayer prowess
~Grovelling and/or begging
~Bribes that don't involve chocolate
~Hope

I don't really think that First Path means that you'll have to do something later in the pool of applicants to prove your mettle. I don't think they'll make us have a dance fight, knife fight, OR pun fight, for example.
