Im hoping the EB Games close to me has the Crackdown with the beta version in stock. If not, I will go on a damn hunting trip to find one. The first Halo kicked ass, the second one I was kinda dissapointed.
I am pissed. Apparently, there was a problem at like 5am on the 16th with servers mailing out the RO3 codes. So, if you were lucky enough to get selected through any of the 3 phases of the RO3 contest like I was, then, you probably did not get your code in your email today.
The forums on Bungie.net said to check your spam folder, as well as your main inbox folder for this email. From what I have read, the email is formatted as such that many email services will detect it as spam and automatically block it from reaching your inbox. Of course, I do not know if this is 100% true, but, there are lots of *theories* floating around on those forums.
Right now the only 100% way to get the H3 beta is either the F&F invite or the Crackdown codes. Hopefully, with any luck I will get the email with my code soon.
