I must be downloading this from the moon. Might as well use this free time wisely and learn a new language while I wait.

take some bullshots while you're there so we can create a new steviep thread trap

 

[Cheeto]

wow look at those titties!

Oh shi-- now that you mention it...this whole time I've been staring at her teeth.

 

[Laika]

sometimes the counters ARENT accurate. at least in my experience

 

[cool_dude_2049]

I've been downloading for exactly 1 hour.

90%



The worst part about all this is that you cannot get out of the download screen.

That's where they get ya!

Has anyone else had any trouble as the host of a party? In the party, when I'm the host, I can't be heard by the other guy. And when the other guy is host, I can't hear him.

15:6 KDR on my second game , sniping is so much funner now, and those distant gunshot sound effects are beautiful.

Its like the calm after the storm in this thread, anyway check out what Major Nelson just posted

"...Now the better news….you get MORE Halo 3 MP Beta action: Given the circumstances today, we will be extending the duration of the “Halo 3” multiplayer beta from June 6 to June 10, 11:59 PM PDT.

Well, I got out of the download blade, it "stopped" the download. I went back in, started it again and now it says 57%. But it hasn't budged in the last 5 or so minutes. Maybe it's having a hard time judging the d/l progress then.

It would have been cool if we had someone from Bungie confirm that like 5 pages ago.

My download speed just picked up. Good god!!

 

[Sullichin]

I'm in the matchmaking lobby but the background didn't load -- it's bright blue clouds instead of that space stuff. Glitch?

Stupid post indeed

Having played Halo 2 for three years come November, I've become very attached to it. I load up Halo 3 and it's like there's something missing to it that I can't explain. The graphics are spectacular. They're better than Lost Planet, and scale-wise, comparable to Gears of War. The sound is nothing short of the greatest in-game sound in a video game. The gameplay is very tight and fun. But there's something missing from it. It's like the charm is lost. I don't know why. I guess it's because I've played Halo 2 for so long that anything that's not it will be tough to beat it.

What you are missing is nostalgia. Don't worry, you'll have that for Halo 3 by the time the Beta ends.

67 percent after 1 hour 15 minutes

 

[subrock]

about 9 minutes start to finish, that was relatively painless.

 

[SpotLightKid]

beautiful game, such a contrast to the Area 51 demo. Unlike 51 it does not throw every graphical effect going at you, it just has a complete and absolute look about it which is breath taking.

Damn mate, i'm still at 42% having gone for something like an hour.

 

[oldschoolpinball]

from the first couple of games I have played,melee is wayyy overpowered

 

[Y2Kev]

The thing missing from the H3 beta are the jerks and the sword! Don't worry, the jerks will be supplied soon and the sword is better left for dead as it is anyway!

In seriousness, if you could elaborate on what you said, J, I'd like to read it.

 

[Somnia]

So basically its still downloading ,but the % doesn't change unless you back out and go back into the download again. Thats what I'm guessing at least.

 

[Cheeto]

24% in one hour....I usually get 1 gig demos in 40 minutes or less. :lol

Is the sword not in Halo 3?

 

[michaeld]

Wow..just f'ing great. My download is at 94% but I can barely keep my eyes open from getting up early as hell, after staying up till 2 in the morning.

 

[Y2Kev]

Not in the beta.

 

[GhaleonEB]

It's not, trust me.

Gods, I hope it's gone for real. My most hated weapon in Halo 2 - the usage and physics of it just felt all wrong in multiplayer. It seemed like something meant for hacking through enemies in SP that was never meant for VS play.

It's still in, they just said it will run on a battery that wears down over time so it is not an unlimited noob weapon.

So it seems the music from the E3 unveiling plays sometimes. Has anyone ripped it?
