The Halo 3 Beta Thread

I love it when multiplayer looks plain. Halo 1 was plain and it was much more fun because of it. Complex visuals in mp ftl.

Yeah, that's a very good point. I knew I was getting a UT vibe from these maps, but couldn't understand why.

I guess the maps have to be plain and open.

Do you live in nola? I'm in St. Charles Parish!

What sort of control options are available, guys? Can you switch the buttons up much?

how do i add him to ignore list?

Go to his profile and there will be an option.

I normally wouldn't do it, but a) he's getting annoying and b) asking how voice chat works in Halo means he clearly didn't play Halo 2, which makes his comments even more annoying.
 
why are you guys complaining about visuals? stinkles has said time after time that this is a networking beta, and that the visual assets will not all be in place.
 
Sorry gotta do this after all the whinin', bitchin', and especially the bannings regarding the state of H3's graphics in alpha. And let's not forget all the people insinuating(hoping) that the beta would look orders of magnitude better.

Alpha

Beta

Virtually the same visual quality as far as I'm concerned.

I played Halo 2 for about two weeks after launched, haven't touched it since. And why get so worked up over videogames?

I don't think the game will look much better when its released.

But its fine, it is multilayer after all, I don't know why I expect so much these days.

As far as i'm concerned, it doesn't. On my TV it looks very lush and the grass looks great.

What is with opinion nazi's around here? I don't get why people get so worked up over some stranger's opinion on the net? HaLo 1 is my fav game ever, I wouldn't give two craps if someone bashed it. I just don't see why people get so worked up over something so trivial.

It's stupid when the people are playing it in person are saying it looks great, while idiots make judgements on direct feed pictures captured at random.
 
i dunno about this whole AR start deal. i mean, a BR start for maps like Valhalla is pretty much necessary the way i see it.

its a huge map and AR is only good up close. comparing valhalla to coag/blood gultch, i can see that they have huge hills in the middle of the map to prevent easy cross map sniping, so thats good.

in first year or two of Halo 2 people would spawn with a stupid SMG up against a good team which surrounded their base with BRs and snipers. i guess the AR is a ton better than the SMG, but i still dont think the gameplay will be balanced if players dont spawn with weapons they can actually counter the opposition with.

heres to hoping for AR/BR start; unless of course Valhalla is completely different from coag/blood gultch which would negate my whole post.
 
Fair enough, but I'm sure others wouldn't. Some people are fanatical and their world crumbles down when others don't share the same opinion.
 
With every troll saying this looks like Halo 2.1 that gets banned a fanboy saying it looks amazing should be banned as well.

What can I tell from screens: it doesn't look great, it doesn't look like crap either.

Still, I am 101% sure that Halo 3 will become this generation Quake 3 - meaning the most played online game from 2007 till 2012.

To be fair, a good chunk of the NeoGAFers playing right now can be expected to say such things almost regardless of the actual visual quality of the game. I don't think it looks bad really, but fit for the main 360 event of this year? That can certainly be questioned. In any event, telling people to GTFO is hardly constructive.

Yes yes, we should never ever judge a game's graphics based on direct-feed pictures. I appreciate the ban-worthy namecalling too.

Well stop judging screens and judge videos.

What kind of wonky logic is that?
