The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Btw, about the
map editor that seems to have been found, its possible that this is just a name for when you replace weapons on a map, vehicle choice and gametype. I highly doubt its a true map editor

That's what I think.

There's absolutely no way Bungie didn't know people would read the beta file. Lots of misdirection, methinks.


Bungie would never do that. We hate keeping secrets or creating mystery.

It's not a random piece of code. It's listed as a mode alongside campaign, coop, custom game, etc.

Yeah. Ghaleon left the thread over it.
Actually Ghaleon left work over it and took the hour long drive home. I read all the medal "spoilers" etc - don't bother me. But someone mentioned there was something campaign related in there which is like spraying me with Raid.
 
Don't know if anyone has asked/answered this but, when should I expect my beta key to be emailed to me? I got in through the first round of beta sign-ups.

Im Going to Cry if theres no Troop Transport Vehicle . Flying Pellican or grounded. You wouldnt want to make a Puertorrican Boy Cry now would you :D

Sure soounds like those things are fake though
 
They should just let us download it now... I mean, they know there's people using other accounts to download it and are actively playing it.... come on Bungie... :D

I know this might shock you, but not everyone shares your definition of spoilers. Some people have already said they don't want to read that stuff. Please show some consideration.

I don't care about MP spoilers, but if there's hints of campaign stuff....

**** it, I'm outta here until this blows over.

Just wondering, where was this reservation for the last four days? You bastards have spoiled the beta!
 
Holy crap@the MP stuff that was found... and I only just looked at a few of it...

I agree, keep things spoiler-tagged please, for those out there who don't want to be spoiled...

Great GAF games earlier too BTW guys...

wtf its saying my beta is unavailable or expired

Yeah, same here - I was going to bed anyways, but still, very strange... plus people on my friends list are still playing...

If it means anything, I exited the Beta, then went back in, which was the first time I did it since getting that update...

lulz. It just happened a minute ago. It's still down.

Also, if this is any indication, you won't be able to view your saved footage after the Beta ends. Doh.

Yeah! Who would guess there would be Beta discussion inside when they click the link?

Well what are you waiting for? Go try Shadowrun!

If it's a widespread issue, it could be them just getting ready for the Beta. Shutting it down temporarily to add the new types/modes/added player numbers.

Yeah, I was in the pregame lobby for a game and it kept saying "Loading game and map." And after 3 minutes it still hadn't loaded, so I rebooted and I got this shitty message. What the hell? I expected the beta to be extended due to this Bungie!:)

Why not try Shadowrun :lol
 
H3X0rz made Bungie kill the beta with their spoiling H4X!
jk
But yeah, it seems like the beta also contained SP code. However, Bungie must be misdirecting the H3X0rz because no way
Tartarus
is back!
 
Had a few good games with armubaba and Ramirez earlier. Sorry about dropping out of your lobby, Ramirez. My internet connection crapped out suddenly, but it's working now. Not like I was at your guys' level anyways. :p
 
Reboot and you will be fine.

Last night we made the first test update to the Halo 3 Public Beta, basically a test to ensure that we are able to make subtle or dramatic changes to the game on the fly, in order to react to problems we could encounter going forward. In this case, the change was both subtle and dramatic going as far as invalidating your existing saved films and wiping your file share in advance of tomorrow's public rollout. You must accept and install the tiny update to continue playing correctly.

Don't worry, we will try to keep these updates to a minimum throughout the course of the Beta, and naturally we don't plan to wreck your films everytime a change is made to the game - but in order to implement and test that stuff for the shipping game, this is one of the wee sacrifices we have to make.

Also, due to player response we've also significantly reduced the appearance of Team Slayer gametypes on the Team Skirmish playlist - this means more High Ground CTF for Beta gamers.

Thanks for both your patience and great feedback and stay tuned to Bungie.net for more updates throughout the Beta.

is back!

He was in the Starry Night CG teaser (one with the bubble shield reveal). When Master Chief jumped in the group of Brutes, you could clearly see him there with his big ass hammer.

I don't know if anyone is at Ram's level. It's sick how many times I see his name before "killed you".

I lol'd at people on my friends list playing the SR Beta. So YOU go try Shadownrun!
It all makes sense now. Shane Kim was just saying he thought people would transition from the Halo 3 Beta to Shadowrun. :lol
