Linkin Park is my favorite band, but they have pissed me off once again. Well, this is the first time. Damn them!

Yeah, they probably need to make sure that it works fine. Its just that those are top Bungie guys that get to do that, not just any old gamer.

thats good news bc its damn near finished and will most likely be out in Q1 or Q2 if everything runs well as they test it

Bungie has the beta test on their debug Xboxes, not on discs.

Rockraven posted this in that Halo 2 spoiler thread:

From Bungie Online Team member David Candland:

When Halo 2 is in beta mode, it won't be on disk but will require the tester to own an Xbox debug/development kit with a DVD emulator drive. In order to beta test Halo 2, you will need to have one of these, which, consequently, will require you to be a licensed Xbox developer.

Of course, any licensed Xbox developer that is outside MS Game Studios is our competition, so you can logically assume we won't be sending out beta versions of Halo 2 outside MGS. And even inside MGS, only those with permissions set are able to prop a build from our internal server.

So- there is no way to beta test Halo 2. There is no waiting list. There is no email to apply for one. When Halo 2 nears completion, there may be internal playtest opportunities, but if anyone tells you they have a beta disk of Halo 2 you can rest assured it is complete hogwash.

It doesn't get any clearer than this. The other thing to remember is this: any beta testers for any Bungie game will be REQUIRED to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Posting about their experience (or boasting to their friends) would be grounds for a lawsuit.
