H3 Beta

Yes, I am one of the fortunate few that got to get the H3 Beta without having to buy a Crackdown.
And, yes, I have played.
And, yes, it's cool.....but......
Don't think it's "next gen", yet. I think they could have done this on the regular Xbox. What was improved was the game play. Some pretty cool game play, and from what I've seen so far, no lag.
And, yes, it is a beta.
But, here's the problem I have with this "beta":
1) No feedback forum: Yes, it says visit Bungie, but it seems the only thing MS is trying to do is monitor the H3 servers to make sure it's stable.
2) No instructions: It's a beta. I've been involved in all types of beta tests before. Part of a beta is to test against a known and unknowns. Without instructions/manual/whatever, how do I know what is supposed to or not supposed to happen?

Again, I don't look at this like beta testing from a user standpoint. It's beta for MS and Bungie to make sure that they can get all thier servers straightened out before release. Seems like that is more important than anything else right now.
