Bungie and Microsoft suggest we play Shadowrun

An update went live for the Halo 3 Multiplayer beta a few minutes ago. This is what we saw during the downtime.

Halo 3 Beta

The prompt reads:

The Halo 3 Public Beta is either currently unavailable, or has expired. Look out for the official retail release of Halo 3 this fall! If you want to shoot stuff and blast your buddies right now, why not try Shadowrun for Xbox 360 and Windows Vista? Find out more at www.shadowrun.com

Looks like Microsoft wants to steer some of those Halo fanboys towards Shadowrun. Does this mean a Shadowrun demo will hit the Marketplace before the Halo 3 beta ends? Let’s hope so.
