DarkGashX Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Looks like everyone is getting a "White Page of Death" when they try to register. Oh well, maybe next time. I got that when I tried to signup under N.America and my live account is UK. That may not apply to you.

magik Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I registered with that first link that was posted. Hope everything is Kosher. :) :p Replying to myself, I'm pretty sure that link was valid. Bungie's response: There's been a lot of rampant speculation going on today regarding the Halo 3 Beta and the sign-up page for it. Going through the now live Halo3.com is the only way in which you are guaranteed to have actually registered. Do not trust direct links to the sign-up form, only access it through Halo3.com.If you've already registered via the direct link that some of our more rabid fans found earlier today, you may well have a perfectly valid registration, but from here on out you should only access the sign-up form through Halo3.com. This is phase one. There will be more ways to enter the beta program, so don't panic. We will try to ensure that everyone who wants to participate has the opportunity to do so. The beta will be a world-wide affair, and every region that is elligible to participate, will. Much of the information on Halo3.com applies to the US only - so if you live in a different region, keep an eye on your local Xbo x site for details.

Xtreme $niper Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm trying the official link as well just in case. You think they'll void my entry if I try twice?

DarkGashX Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The UK Site now says: In Spring 2007, you?ll also have the chance to join the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. Halo 3 is coming, are you ready? Do we have to wait right until the spring?

xxdesmus Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ok...I went through halo3.com ...signed in, and was taken to this page: https://reg.msgamestudios.com/Default.aspx?statusid=1 what the hell does that mean?

Xtreme $niper Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ok...I went through halo3.com ...signed in, and was taken to this page: https://reg.msgamestudios.com/Default.aspx?statusid=1 what the hell does that mean? Yep same here. I'm assuming thats the page where it says "successful!" since its what showed after signing up with the direct link before the official link was up and the servers wern't dead. This is supported by the idea that the end of the address is "statusid=1" usually 1 means "yes" soo I'm assuming status would be successful registration or not. Then again I'm just gonna try again when the servers arn't as dead.

xxdesmus Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 ^^ Yeah, I was thinking statusid=1 was a good thing, but I guess we'll see. The source code of the page doesn't really say much either. ah well.

Xtreme $niper Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hmm for me the site just goes to an error page "Unable to connect". Either the server is messed or somethings wrong with the link.. But going from halo3.com, as soon as I click "continue to sign up" and it tries to contact reg.msgamestudios.com, it errors out almost immediately.

pdog Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 maybe it would have taken load off of the servers if they would have not used 1024 bit encryption on it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517595-sign-up-monday-for-chance-to-join-halo-3-mp-beta/page/4/#findComment-588109429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme $niper Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'll just come back to it tomorrow or something.. It might really be going through but I just don't know it, and then they'll ban me for spamming them :p I found out I spelt my city name wrong though sooo I really should try to submit again some time when the servers arn't being hammered.

DarkGashX Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 still nothing for people in Europe? :( European GamersEurope will soon have the chance to secure their place on the Halo 3 multiplayer beta, scheduled to start next spring. Keep an eye on your local Xbox community site for more details. * Limit one registration per person/Xbox Live gamertag. If selected, your invitation is non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash. The beta is available in English only. There we go :) I was right last night then, it said the same thing on Xbox UK.

sweetham Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The Beta is scheduled to start in the spring. The sign-up for European gamers and the such will come soon. As already stated on the website. Like some have speculated it was probably done this way to keep the servers from taken suge a huge hit that they actually fail and no-one is able to sign up. You've already seen most of us here in North America already mention that the servers are being pretty sluggish.
