For some reason (maybe lack of sleep) I was thinking that you meant in PT, the beta was going to be released at 5:03 AM, so I rushed to find out what time it was going to be released here in Texas, and then I thought “Wait a minute, 5:03 AM is such an odd time…” Then I realized you meant May 3rd. I need more sleep, but I’m too excited, and so I’m gonna play Halo 3 ’till the beta’s out.
Microsoft keeps things like this vague so they have some leeway if things go horribly wrong. Remember the Stimulus Package issues they had on the day it was released? Things got so fucked up that no one could even buy Microsoft Points to buy the Stimulus Package. You can bet someone got fired, lol.
Well if you go by a lot of the people on the Bungie forum it’ll come out at 10am PST, this is according to numerous sources and a supposed email people in Australia.
It make sense as it falls right in line with the early morning, late afternoon and early evening for the time zones mention, which is the only reason I think that might be a true time. Just wish they had given us the time frame earlier so I wouldn’t have woken up at 4am to start the download to only find it wasn’t even up yet.
Yeah, I woke up at 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 expecting it to be ready, but it wasnt so i went on here to see what had happened, and well this dam time frame
Mike Foxtrot, Microsoft you had me stay up all night to now tell me that it’ll happen in a late morning. By the way what late morning are you talking about? 9am-noon or adolescence late morning 11am-2 pm.
haha nerd raging going on here. Guys, it’s only the first day, and we know it will work because people were already playing it before today. Now, excuse me while I quit my job so I can go home early to load up my copy of ODST.
CURSE YOU EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!!!! RAR!!!!
*insert angry profanity here*

all 5:03??? majorly confused!
FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…
Early evening! GAH! I can’t take that amount of anticipation over a single day!
Playing Arena right now! =D
Wow, 5 thumbs down? Haters gonna’ hate! ^_^
Holy crap! Really guys?
hey! 343 for the thumb up and down for Ray’s comment!
major nelson is useless! he didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know! what a stupid asshole he is.
I don’t appreciate that. He’s a nice guy and works hard at his living. Walk a mile in his shoes before you judge.
I guess it gives me time to do some of the work for the college class i was planning on “forgetting”
So I am guessing 9-12 AM on west coast. Awesome.
*9-11:59* lol
Someone elaborate for me…
Does this mean 5:03 PM GMT?
no that means 3rd of the 5th (today) Early Evening GMT which i guess is 5-7?
Aha, I see. Thank you random stranger :)
So…..what about us in the central time zone? 5.03 (no shit) Late Noon?
That’s what I’m assuming. Sometime around noon. I’m down in Texas, CST
Chicago isn’t allowed to play. It has to watch everyone else have fun.
Still no exact times :L

Consider that link as “Bungie Time”. When it hits around 10am, I suggest strappin’ in and getting locked and loaded.
Or, you know, start up ODST.
Nothing….. : /
I am disappoint
Hugs <3
Retarded. Everything should have been ready and all that needed to be done was to hit a big fat red button saying “Beta RELEASE”.
not yet. 5:43 GMT
Still nothing… I has a sad.
I don’t see why bungie would make everyone wait till noon to play the beta that’s just mean.
Some wait even longer eh. In some parts of Asia and Russia it’s already Tuesday.
Beta is now up for download, great!
START YOUR DOWNLOADS! It’s Halo time!
Beta Time! 13% :D

Beta is up! Huzzah!

Well i’ve been listening to some pretty menu music waiting the servers to stop being buttholes.
I hear ya! But now that my unlucky friend Ben has left the party I have confidence in the server’s return!
Long DL times suck. What sucks even more is that I stayed up until 3 AM for nothing. ><
