The Halo 3 Beta Thread

Yeah, it's no Gears. It's no GRAW either. It's no Bioshock, no Oblivion, and no Alan Wake either. This is what I would expect if Halo 3 was on Xbox. Bungie was playing too much time playing volleyball again and not Halo 3 look like a next gen game.
...the ****?

Oh the things i would say about this post if i couldn't get banned. You need to be spanked then slapped around a little bit.

The sound effects sound better too, than Halo 2 as best as I can remember. The weapons sound like they have a lot more umph to them.
Indeed, SMG actually sounded kind of threatening in the Multiplayer ViDoc.

Also, something you guys will probably find insignificant, but... 2:46-48, part where the grey SPARTAN gets tagged with a Spike Grenade, I was watching the scene in slow motion and it seemed as though he was switching weapons in mid-air. The animation looked really nice.

wayyyyyy what? you press?

I'm kind of press (I maintain a video game blog and have written for a professional website and newspaper in the past). I'll be happy to share everything I am allowed to after I get home tomorrow. I have a feeling you'll just be hearing about the free food they have on hand. I love free food.

FOV in that video = 4:3


Play 16:9 at 1080p (scaled, bitches) for great justice.

think he's referring to the field of view.

normally it's 90°

the higher you go, the more fish eye you have. The lower, the more zoomed in it is.

FOV at 4:3 is not simply fisheyed 16:9


Vehicles will jump when they hit grav lifts.


We play too much volleyball...WTF?

Gigglepoo, NY or SF?
 
Man what the ****. There's still like half a ****ing ****ing year before this game is released. The ****ing flying shit, what the hell. Thinking about that upsets me greatly. Instead of ****ing Shadowrun they shoulda just released a multiplayer only 5 month long demo of Halo. Make it explode my xbox after 5 months, I don't give a shit. The Beta hasn't even started yet and I'm already experiencing withdrawal.

Pelicans as well.

RLY? The same ones that bring in the 64 player teams with fixed respawn intervals a'la Battlefield? Does the grav lifts also propel evil Cortana into the air? How about Gravemind?

:P

Wow. Who needs Halo when you have this?

Halo 3 might just take the crown

I think someone needs to leave this thread because now it's just considered trolling.

There's something to be said for being consistant! :lol

Who will Halo 3 alienate more - Halo:CE fans or Halo 2 fans?
Depends on what they're clinging to. People who think Halo 2 sucks because the pistol isn't back won't be happy. But everything I've seen/read/heard has me convinced Halo 3 MP will compare quite favorably to both previous games.

Also: when did you stop beating your wife?
 
It's an honest question. No matter what direction they've taken they'll surely upset segments of their fanbase.

By the way, I'm a huge fan of BOTH games, but I do lean toward Halo 1.

I'll just be glad to see the death of BXB, BXR, and all the other stupid glitches.

i just hope the inevitable replacements in halo 3 arent as annoying and easily circumvented by bungie

eh, there'll be plenty of new glitches and exploits that people find.

hopefully it's easier for bungie to patch/fix them this time around.
 
Holy shit, I just got 3 blinking red lights, only the upper right wasn't lit red...but it's working now, is my 360 about to die again? :(

Those saying the game doesn't look very good must not have played Halo 2 on a HDTV. I've been playing the game non-stop MP on my new 61'' 1080p TV through the 360 and while it looks "ok" it looks blurry and not very impressive..

These new videos are just what I wanted to see. Even in the low quality form I can see that the game is a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT over Halo 2(as it should be). I can only imagine how nice this is going to look running at 1080p on my TV next week.

Again those saying that it doesn't look to hot, go back and play Halo 2. If you're still not impressed then fluck it I guess it's a lost cause.
 
Ramirez said:
Wow, yea, it's dead...this is stunning.

That sucks dude :(

I've been super paranoid about that happening to me. I had the 360 freeze on me tonight once while playing Halo 2, but the system has given me no other problems (except Oblivion DRE's, but that's par for the course), and it ran fine after so I'm not too worried. If my 360 breaks between now and anytime before the beta ends I'm going to be soooooo pissed.
 
I might just buy an entirely new one since the one I have is a refurbished POS from the first one that broke on me and I don't have a warranty /sigh I knew this was going to happen...first my videocard on my 8 month old Alienware dies, and now this, good times :lol

I bet the Halo 3 reload/melee glitches will kick the shit outta the halo 2 glitches :P

What is the point of the x button's cancelling anyway? I originally thought it was put in there intentionally to make these button combinations possible.
