Halo 3 Beta ’Leaked Zanzibar’ Gameplay Video, most people have seen the really low quality one that was leaked a while ago for this one is higher quality and higher resolution. Remember this was only early footage of the Beta and not the final build.

Thats why its called a beta. Its not ready for people to acctully buy if its at the market i will download in plz tell me i am a big fan of halo. I was dumb to sell halo 2 when i got the 360 i should of kept it for xbox live. Friday i am begging my mom to take me to blockbuster so i can rent halo 2 just for xbox live cause i already bet story mode. However if the beta for halo 3 is free and i can play it i will not rent halo 2.

The only way left to aquire access to the beta is by buying Crackdown as a free beta key comes with it. Every other way has been filled to my knowledge.

See Blue Crows comment, its a Beta (very early footage and of them testing it).
