Whoa.
Ugh. Waiting to see what the full game is going to be like is gonna be tough.
Edit: Ack. Already quoted to hell, but I'm going to spoiler tag that anyway. Sorry for not doing that originally, guys.
Whoa.
Map editer? A VTOL craft?

Some interesting bits of info. lmao at the meniton of a chopper. I was roasted in another thread for merely suggesting that it'd be a cool idea.
A map editor would make H3 the best game, well, ever (no exageration). Maps could be traded in much the same way as replays. Can you imagine!?

spoilery delight:
Zombies made it, as predicted. Or at least something called "INFECTION" did.

If you read the first couple posts, you know it all. Nothing story related, and nothing terribly surprising apart from the map editor. Haxorz also found references to a flamethrower in Halo 1&2 and all sorts of other things that never made it into the game. This is pretty far from confirmation.

I agree..I don't mind the spoilers so long as they are tagged, but some people don't want to know that until the first time the see it with the controllers in their hands.
But yeah..I'm taking off of work tomorrow..anyone wanna play some games just add me

so I'm guessing the Pelican works akin to a Harrier jump jet? there's mention of there being a turret on it too, manned separately.

Wait what did I just see there? Is this multiplayer spoils? Or...
*gulp*

I agree, but I'd rather it not go in here for two reasons:DD-11 said:
1) This thread is to discuss the Beta we'll be playing, not the stuff we won't.
2) Some people are sensitive about spoilers. I'm personally not worried about anything other than story spoilers, but I try to err on the side of not spoiling anything not announced yet since the definition of "spoiler" varies.

Agreed. I'm glad people have good sense to use spoiler tags, but someone is going to screw up and a lot of people are going to learn things they didn't want to know.
Plus, there's going to be a monumental bitchfest if a bunch of things that were never confirmed in the first place don't make it into the final game.

There better be co-op akin to Gears of War. The best part of Halo for me is SP campaign.Eric WK said:

Griff. :lol
Some info i've gathered from the beta so far...
1. In Halo 2, only the host would get blown around by grenades and other explosives, but in Halo 3 everybody does. Throw a grenade under a mongoose and you'll send it into orbit.
2. The warthog takes more than one sticky grenade to stop now. It also feels a lot easier to stick people especially with the spike grenades.
3. Halo 3 does not need dedicated servers! I've had one laggy game so far and the rest have been nearly perfect. That's 1 out of 130.
4. Although it's fun, i hate shotty snipers because i never win at it.
5. If you get hit with with a brute shot you'll get thrown around like a little bitch. I've been shot of ledges, slammed against walls, and straight up boosted into bases from those things.
6. If somebody is shooting at you with dual brute spiker guns you'll know it. It's the scariest sounding shit in the world. It's sounds like 1,000 children screaming in your face.
7. If someone has a shotgun on the other side of a shield on Snowbound stay away from him. Just go the other way and act like you never saw his ass. Unless you have some spike grenades and a death wish.
8. If someone throws up a shield grenade to stop your from killing them just melee your way through. You can also shoot the actual grenade that created the shield once you're inside of it to destroy the shield.
9. You can only carry 2 of each grenade. That would bring the total up to 6 grenades at a time. 2 frags, 2 plasmas, and 2 spikeys.
10. When a spike grenade blows up in your face and kills you, you can see the red hot needles still stuck in your corpse. After a couple seconds they will cool down and turn grey.
