Halo 3 website is (sort of) live [update 1]

by Richard Mitchell on Dec 4th 2006 1:15PM

Update: Many of you have already seen it, but it looks like the link to the registration page has been found. Click here for more info.

Halo3.com, the mysterious place where registration for the Halo 3 beta will take place, is now active. Before, it would merely redirect you to Bungie.net, whereas now it features the Halo 3 logo and a message to "Check back 12.04.06." We can't help but notice that today is 12.04.06. Also, we had a little trouble opening the page in Firefox -- it asked us to install Flash, which is already installed ... weird. Still, the site is up, and hopefully it will open for business later today.

[Thanks Glenn and Zack]

its december already? damn where did this year go...

i opened the page and saw it said to check back on 12-4 and was like, i dont want to wait until december, thats like 3 months away

Odd... I'm still being redirected to Bungie.

I think that's just how the site is set up. Lower down it asks you to click on a link to actually enter the site.

Doesn't matter much since the page it links to apparently isn't even uploaded.

Redirects to bungie.net in firefox but not in IE.

Strange :/

Hopefuly it will the regestration will come online while im still awake here in the UK, if not ill stay up till the AD comes out at 2AM

WTF? It doesn't work in WebKit browsers or Gecko browsers, which make up 100% of the Mac browser market. Just because I don't use Windows doesn't mean I don't want Halo 3…

Only works in IE for me, firefox has flash 9 installed but site won't recognize it.

Maybe its microsofts ploy to get you to use the new IE which magically has tabbed browsing now.

#3 - Try clearing your cache.

Yikes! Doesn't work in Safari 2.0 either! Then again this is Microsoft we're talking about here, more or less, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Nazis of software.

Check this link, it says to the following link if you're not using IE.

Works for me, with Safari.

...an early present for y'all

ohh shit- nice work.. But do you think Bungie will be pissed off that we just signed up before the site launched?

@7

Thanks for that, I finally got signed up thanks to your link.

Hope they don't disqualify anyone for signing up earlier than the website going live... :P

@ #8

nice detective work. wonder if they'll dismiss the early sign ups, for being so sneaky. good stuff

jc,

If that is a legit workaround, you are awesome. Here's hoping that it actually accepts any "unofficial" submissions...

For any Halo fans, click jc's link for "early" beta signup.

Am I surprised that Microsoft have 'mistakenly ' locked out all browsers except IE. No. Microsoft are complete fu

no worky on mac

JC, I love you... so much right now. YESSSSSSS

Yup wow, go figure, no support for Macs. Wow Microsoft, you cease to amaze me.

Glad to help...

It still might be a good idea to register again when the public site comes up.

The public site just went live !!
