Yes please.

Ok, I'll encode them tomorrow when (if) I wake up.

 

[jet1911]

So is the Spartan Lazer overpowered?

 

[giga]

Anyone interested in the full 720p videos or are the 640x360 videos enough along with their 720p conterparts?

As long as you get some sleep or something to eat I'm down for them.

 

[Gowans]

All signs point to awesome & the most important thing of the Halo feel that makes the games play so well looks safe

but as always I'm banning myself from the thread till I'm in & can comment

/looks at clock :lol

 

[MiamiWesker]

[ImagineMyChagrin]

Plasma pistol yes though. Did it always use to waste energy when you were charging but not firing?

Very nice, discourages people from just running around with it always charged up

Kee the HD vids comin Blim. Looks gorgeous streaming to the 360 .

Question for some of the Halo 2 vets, are you guys noticing any significant host advantage? Or are you able to tell who has it just by the way that person is dominating?

AWESOME

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Anyone have/seen pics/video/impressions of splitscreen mode? It was Halo that was said to be doing something funky to maintain the screen ratio, right?

 

[op_ivy]

So is the Spartan Lazer overpowered?

it only has five shots, but its crazy powerful and very feared. is it over powered? not any more so then halo 2's rockets/sniper/sword

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I like pictures. Bungie, you've done well.

Everyone seems too new to the beta to be noticing much advantages.

I lowered the quality a bit for the 2nd and 3rd video, did it still look ok on the 360? I didn't try it myself.

Cool, thanks.

Much appreciated thx .

 

[MiamiWesker]

Holy hell that missle gun is awesome. And did I just see someone drop a remote jump lift thingy.

 

[HomShaBom]

lol @ gamespot's corny DMX jokes

 

[SpudBud]

This game is going to own my soul.

 

[Shake Appeal]

wow, Gamespot are terrible at this game

 

[MiamiWesker]

So is the Halo 1 pistol in the game or not, I haven't seen it used once.

 

[dralla]

the gamespot thing is horrible. they have no idea what they're doing, it's seriously impossible to watch

 

[FFChris]

wow, Gamespot are terrible at this game

I've been watching it for two hours and yes, the really are.

Which makes me want to pick it up and play all the more!

So is the Halo 1 pistol in the game or not, I haven't seen it used once.

Ingames: Yes.
In the beta: Doesn't look like it.

 

[Y2Kev]

I certainly haven't seen it if it is.

 

[Proelite]

Gamespot should boycott this game online. lol.

TXB

 

[Proelite]

TXB

Wow. Scope?

 

[HallwayGiant]

Wow. Scope?

Not so. Still dual-wieldable, still kinda crappy...

 

[Shake Appeal]

did the Gamespot guy just say that the Spring update added background downloading? :lol

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he has to hold a conversation while playing, but he stands still to pick up weapons

 

[Sean]

The Gamespot players do suck at this game.

Every time they pick up an active camo powerup they seem to then go inside a vehicle, like nobody will notice a vehicle driving itself around....

Man, everytime I watch a GS Live thing it's nothing but Gerstman being an unmitigated douche chill. The moment I clicked on it he was being asked some question and the dude asking at least had an ounce of excitement in him, and Gerst was all "no" and that's it. Silence for the next two minutes as he proceeds to get his ass kicked until the next question asked and and answered in under five seconds. Why can't they have people who know how to do broadcasts do these things?

 

[radrelic]

that gamespot webcast was horrible.


those guys are clueless about anything Halo.

 

[op_ivy]

dont know if anyone else mentioned this, but upon launch your greeted to

"LOADING

Halo 3 Beta

Love, Bungie "

The guy they usually have presenting the GS shows (On the Spot is the one I watch) is actually pretty good. But he wasn't there for this one.

I smiled at that.

<3 right back at ya, Bungie.

 

[Speevy]

How's the aniso in this game?

 

[Y2Kev]

That was cute. I think the presentation of the game is top-notch...I love the menus and music.

Wait what isn't the left Foundation from H2?

 

[Proelite]

Wait what isn't the left Foundation from H2?

Agent Breezy stealth troll confirmed.

 

[CreepingDea7h]

I think its supposed to be a comparison

 

[jet1911]

I think he was comparing H2 to H3.

 

[giga]

Oh >.< I misjudged from the previous post asking for splitscreen pics.

 

[snoopers]

 

[got2bekidding]

I know it has been said multiple times on this thread, but haven't seen it mentioned today....Don't forget about the Game Head episode airing tonight/tomorrow morning on Spike TV. Just wanted to send out another reminder for those who, possibly in excitement over all of these beta goodness being discussed, forgot about the show.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Yes! Was waiting for a gif of that.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Oh >.< I misjudged from the previous post asking for splitscreen pics.

Speaking of which, omgsplitscreen?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Exactly, video will be done in under 5 minutes. I'm uploading it now. Watch it on your 360 and you can easily tell the difference.

 

[jet1911]

You're five pages late.
