Ok, to answer the question most people are asking right now: Yes, the Halo 3 Beta registration is closed. Let the disappointment rush over you and go to your happy place. Ok, are we all in our happy place now? Well, if you aren't, the FAQ has lots of information that will take you to your happy place.

The people who were picked to join the beta testing were chosen randomly. That means "it's not you that's the problem". Another interesting revelation in the FAQ is the fact that those who will be involved are not required to sign NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) so we'll know what they're doing and will have news regarding it. Being on the sidelines is not as good as actually being in the beta test, but it's better than nothing. Then, there's the part of the FAQ that makes me smile every time I think about it. WE WILL BE ABLE TO BLOW THINGS UP WITH THE LASER! WOOT!
