Goodbye Halo 3 Beta, We Barely Knew Thee

Yes, they were right. It is "so hard to say goodbye to yesterday." And sometimes yesterday says goodbye to you. Such was the case late last night/early this morning when the giant switch powering the Containment Unit of Fun that was the beta was surrounded by top men and had its switch yanked into the "Off" position.

Barely applicable Ghostbusters references and Boyz II Men lyrics notwithstanding, we wanted to say "Thanks." Thanks for participating in the Public Beta process and ultimately helping us make tweaks, changes and improvements to a product we're excited to bring you later this Fall. While we don't really have an answer for how to cure your withdrawals, we hear patience is a saint.


If you'd like to delete the voluminous file from your 360, and you were playing via Crackdown, you can do the following:

 

 

  • Go to the System Blade in the Dashboard
  • Select Memory
  • Select your HDD
  • Select "Games"
  • Scroll to "Crackdown"
  • Select the Beta and then Delete.


For Rule of Three and Friends and Family it's simpler:

 

  • Go to the System Blade in the Dashboard
  • Go to Memory
  • Go to Demos
  • Scroll down and highlight Halo 3 Beta
  • Select delete.


Bam.

Tag and Release - Guardian 

Posted by urk at 2/8/2010 11:03 AM PST

Out there, past them trees. You see it? I see you.

Hot on the heels of our Guardian Postmortem it's a good time to take a traipse through the wooded spaces that encompass Guardian's ancient platforms. This week's Tag and Release features a set of images that show off the surrounds. Hopefully, they also show off our community files collection.

Sepia Toned Spaces


Still Life


Canopy Cartography


Constricted


Om Nom Nom

If you don't like what you see, then you probably have terribly bad taste. Not a problem though, you can find tons of images in our community files collection. There's bound to be something you like tucked away in our forest of fan crafted content.

Firefight Friday: Lost Zoo 

Posted by urk at 2/5/2010 9:08 AM PST

Up for a challenge?

HBO's FyreWulff prepped a new menagerie designed to deal death to any ODST daring enough to drop into Lost Platoon. No matter what difficulty you play on, he's got an animal that'll keep you engaged.  Jump into the ring!

"First week after launch, a new challenge for all difficulties! Drop into Lost Platoon and battle it out on foot - no vehicles are allowed. And have fun with the Wraith - the Laser has been banned from use.

The site is still in beta at the moment, but it's got a spiffy layout now. Should be out of beta in not too long."
