Halo 3 Beta, Not anytime soon!

Bungie.net

When does the beta start?

The beta will not start when Crackdown is released. The beta will go live when it’s ready, which should be sometime this Spring. The team is currently busy whipping the included content into shape. Our goal is to deliver a fun, solid game experience though it will still very much be a “beta.”
So the beta will not be coming out tommorow, with the game, you will not be able to go home and download it right away. We will have to wait until "Early Spring" Just saying, Im sure a lot of us couldnt wait until tomorrow for this reason, but I guess We'll actually have to play the Full version of Crackdown that comes with the beta. *Sigh*

will the halo 3 beta have achievements or is it just a demo???

It's not a demo, nor will it have achievements. It's a beta. It's released so other people can do Bungie's work and test the game.

it is also going to be lacking in graphics, so do not get all pissed when it looks similar to halo 2, rather than as good or better than gears...

and remember the beta period is only for a limited period of time. you will not be able to play it everyday until the actual full game comes out...
