DarkGashX Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I just tried something. Go to account.live.com and change your country to United States. Then go to https://reg.msgamestudios.com/default.aspx?site=Halo3Teaser and click on United States. Sign in if it asks you to and then fill out the form. Then, once your done, change the country on account.live.com back. Hopefully, it worked. Doing that, I would think Bungie wont pick you. I don't think I should risk it.

Hopefully, it worked. i was thinking of that, and i really would try it - but i don't want to mess up my chances of getting into the beta (it'd be annoying if people who did do that got in and i didn't! :pinch:) - also there's that thing where MS are banning accounts where the regions don't match up? or something so i don't really want to risk it :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517595-sign-up-monday-for-chance-to-join-halo-3-mp-beta/page/3/#findComment-588108162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse91 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Oh no! I forgot about that! EDIT: but what is weird is that it gives you a country selection screen on the signup page when you have already chosen either US or Canada.

Usualy they ask more info than that when it comes to betas ecpically on games like halo 0o. I just signed up using that link. Hopefully I'll get in. If we are selected, how will we get the demo? I'm pretty sure we have to get it from Xbox Live somehow.. I doubt they'd mail in a MP beta DVD.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 5, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 5, 2006 signed up, i hope thats an official link.. i only signed up cause it used my passport to login I am holding off personally, since there is no such live site as www.msgamestudios.com, at least one that is live on the tubes. I also went to whois.net, and see whoever owns it registered it through Tucows... I wonder if MS would use Tucows or not??? http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=msgam...ios&tld=com Honestly I am sure everyone is fine, I am just not taking any chances...

They used it for the Free XBL Arcade game thing a few weeks ago. Where you registered your console and you received 2 free games. So it is on the up and up.

DarkGashX Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Well there is a screenshot on a previous page with all that before the site when 403 and has gone live again. Looks like myself and other sites were right. It's North America / Canada only "at first". Typical. stifler6478 - I think that it maybe "testing" for the final website?

sweetham Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Im sure The UK, Europe and other countries will get their chance. Bungie has already stated that. I dont think they would be dumb enough to re-iterate somthing like that and then not let you guys register. It obviously wont be right away as its not on the site yet, but I would imagine you will be selected in the same process as North American gamers. Yes I can agree that it not being there now with the rest of them is a bit annoying as well as not really fair. But the chances of one of you getting seleted will be most likely the same as the next gamer.

spenser.d Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 stifler6478 - I think that it maybe "testing" of the final website? Yes, that's what I was saying. Also, it may still be a global registration, but they're rolling out the registration, so they don't get completely slammed by every single country at once. I know that's a long shot optimistic hope for all you that don't live in the US/Canada, but it could be. I don't envision Bungie saying it would be global and then it not be global at all. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/517595-sign-up-monday-for-chance-to-join-halo-3-mp-beta/page/3/#findComment-588108826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
