its a perk of having friends that work in certain video game retailers
But yeah, youve paid for it already, so whats the harm
PS: what did you think of it? I thought it was good, but not as good as Halo 3
Ah well unfortunately I don't know anyone like that so legitimate copies are impossible to come by for me.
I think that if I DID somehow obtain a copy, whether legitimate or not, (which I didn't) after having already preordered and paid for the game, (which I did) I think that I would have thought that it was awesome and 1000 times better than halo 3. The gameplay would have been amazing, the story entertaining, the controls alot tighter. I think I would have had to complain if there happened to be a problem with slowdown of the framerate when the firefights got dicey, but then again that would be a good thing, as the framerate would be variable, which means that sometimes it would run up to 60 fps, whereas halo 3 and prior were locked at 30. I think during multiplayer, if this were the case, with no AI slowing things down, the framerates would have been a nice crisp and solid 60. And multiplayer is what its all about right? Unfortunately if I HAD obtained a copy, and had an extra xbox because the ethernet port was burned out, and therefore modded it since it couldnt connect to xbox live anyway, I obviously wouldnt get to play multiplayer yet, and even if I did I would get banned.
The beta, however, was just freakin amazing.
