wow man I remember playing crackdown buying it specifically for this beta, waiting up all night playing the beta all day, 2006-2012 were prime years for xbox sad they are only worried about money anymore. between game passes (& digital games ruining overnight game releases), remasters, it is not the same and never will be :/
@@zztopfan5201 But in the beginning, studios and game developers like Bungie were independent entities. Today they have mostly been absorbed into publicly-traded corporate conglomerates. So truly now more than ever it is about the money. They have shareholders to answer to
Same. The golden age of video games. I remember coming home in between two-a-day football practices to run this Halo 3 Beta. And then when the game launched with the awesome Forge mapmaking capability it just revolutionized custom games. And glitching out of maps. Finding all the skulls and running a LASO campaign. The good ole days, if there were any
This beta worked flawlessly. And it was in 2007 when iPhones and smartphones were barely a thing. Why can't 343 Industries do the same thing in 2021? Dafuq lol.
What a golden game for all halo players, this was halo at its peak! Phenomenal makers of the game (bungie). Brought so many people together and had a laugh and alot of shithousey lol. Now it's completely different, now it's under 343 who let's face it are shit. R.I.P the almighty halo 3
I remember staying home from school on the day this beta released w/ Crackdown but it didn't end up working until several hours after it was supposed to
Like in Halo 2, they still had it say you sniped an opponent despite not technically head-shotting them with the sniper rifle. Of course, it was changed in the final version of the game to only say you sniped them when you landed a headshot.
I was more of a playstation kid, but most of my friends had Xboxes, it was a great time to be a gamer I have fond memories of going over to my friends house and playing Halo, seems like xbox had a tighter online community back in the day

You couldn’t had said it better my friend
It’s always been about money from the beginning.

Don't say "never will be" as history has a way of repeating itself in different ways
that dashboard though
So sexy. I remember making little songs swiping between the tabs when I was bored or waiting for my friends to get online.
Hits different
I miss it. I had a wood pattern on mine
The best Xbox dashboard of all time

Because it's all about the money for them, they could give a shit about halo or their customers
@Brad Turner It’s always been about money.
@@bradturner6206 Wait are you thinking Halo 3 wasn't about money? Have you even seen the insane amount of money they pumped into its advertising?
Looking at that dashboard makes me want to cry 😢
Oh my god this is fucking History and I love it.
im 33 and remember this too well.
This was a beautiful time in my childhood. I stayed up all night watching it download.

That Bungie intro makes me feel alot of memories me 2009
I'm crying
oh man.. halo 3 beta, i miss that time.. i played halo 3 when i was 4 bruh, so much i cant forget
I remember staying home from school on the day this beta released w/ Crackdown but it didn't end up working until several hours after it was supposed to
The halo 3 beta had a better UI then present day halo infinite 😭. Surreal how backwards halo is heading 16yrs later
I know, 343 is horrible..
r they going 2 make it 4 the xbox too
swirlingdimension yes they are
@@blobber51 and pc
😎👌🏻
Let us know if you have any other questions
Well never know
So many memories, thanks, for this.
I remember this shit...the beginning of the end for bungie 😥
I'd say Reach was since that was Bungie's last hurrah. Don't be sad tho cuz Bungie still is successful with stuff like Destiny.
Destiny’s cool but it’s no halo trilogy
@@gman2015zNot even close to the same Bungie that made Halo great unfortunately.
Dude I miss these old times so much I wish I can go back..
Same
I remember everyone buying crackdown just to play the halo 3 beta. I didn’t like crackdown much. Always thought it was weird that it got two sequels.
ooooooh shit, i fucking gasped when i saw the first xbox dashboard again after over a decade
Crackdown!!! Take me back...
I wish I was old enough to participate back then. It's amusing to think this was once called standard definition.
When Halo was Halo
Damn OG
Nostalgia days
2020 present! nice!
is nice to find this video. I wonder if they hack this beta out
This smells like history

That UI was so good

Un saludo vengo del futuro
How do you know we suck at Halo 3? Please stop ridiculing someone you don't know. For all I care they can be better than you!
my first game on release night was snowbound.. hahah AMAZING!!!
I'm fucking crying...
shame Halo 4 doesn't have a beta :-(
Halo 4 had a beta😔💓
Still mad?
Come back for the infinite beta
It's not out yet
Sorry for what I did.
I kinda wish I could opt to have a dashboard like this again
I feel like an old dog now
Holy Jesus lmao
Sorry for what I did.
Sorry for what I did.
Sorry for what I did.

@@Lukas-oy1dp Sorry i cant tell you.
