Re: Beta testing Halo 2

In Response To: Beta testing Halo 2 (Evil Otto)

: When Halo 2 is in beta mode, it won't be on disk but will require the tester
: to own an Xbox debug/development kit with a DVD emulator drive. In order
: to beta test Halo 2, you will need to have one of these, which,
: consequently, will require you to be a licensed Xbox developer.

: Of course, any licensed Xbox developer that is outside MS Game Studios is our
: competition, so you can logically assume we won't be sending out beta
: versions of Halo 2 outside MGS. And even inside MGS, only those with
: permissions set are able to prop a build from our internal server.

: So- there is no way to beta test Halo 2. There is no waiting list. There is
: no email to apply for one. When Halo 2 nears completion, there may be
: internal playtest opportunities, but if anyone tells you they have a beta
: disk of Halo 2 you can rest assured it is complete hogwash.

Thanks, Dave. Doesn't leave too much room for argument. :)
