The Halo 3 Beta Thread

The game looks gorgeous. The crazy thing is, this is the graphics in multiplayer. It should look significantly better in the single player campaign.

I hope this releases in September, as is rumored (don't the Mountain Dew Halo 3 ads run from July - September?)

Everytime I click this thread I am rubbing salt into my own wounds. WHY DO I COME TO THIS THREAD DAMNIT? WHYY?

You and me both.

You're on my FL, let's channel our disappointment into rage on Wednesday. They'll all be sorry...

Man this is driving me crazy. I can't leave this thread. I have to leave this thread. Man i want to play so bad. I'm losing my mind. Somebody needs to slap me around a little bit. Maybe kick me in the chest.

This isn't class son. It's the school of life. And life's a bitch. Bring me Calvin the mighty god and we'll talk.

Stinkles, please make me your slave. I will bring you anything. Give me a chance!

I edited the post you replied to. It is important that you read the edit.

ZOUNDS!

Spaceman Spiff usually doesn't negotiate with his alien tormentors, but under these circumstances...

Name your price. None is too great. Just be aware that Calvin is not a kind and benevolent god. He is one of the old gods! He demands sacrifice!
 
I forgot how great a party system is until I just used it. So smooth to hop from game to game, it just works!

Also I think this is the first time I've seen a game being integrated into and using the 360 guide. It's great for sending video files or looking at people's the halo profile and videos.

It's a great idea that you can pull up your settings menu from almost anywhere and it behaves like a fancy 360 guide.
 
Because I'm probably not going to write anything about the event (loooong story), just two quick notes.

- I am so glad I pre-ordered a Legendary edition. The helmet is HUGE!
- When you pick up the Needler, it should say "Press the R trigger for Rape Time."

Halo 3 is sooooo gooooooooood.
 
Stinkles... If i remake the Halo theme in pure cowbells with cow mooing in the background... would that be enough?!?! I WILL DO MORE.

Yep. I was wondering if it was a special thing in the guide or if maybe other games would do that too if you were playing that game. Like "show crackdown stats" if you were in crackdown with someone else playing crackdown.

Matchmaking has really matured. I remember when Halo 2 launched and people FREAKED OUT.
 
great impression guys, keep them coming

everything looks amazing and game play so tight I am looking forward to Wed.

system seller indeed

They work perfectly here. Are you using ethernet or wifi?
internet. i get stuttery video playback on my PC and streaming to the 360. Dunno what's up.

same thing with the full 720p versions you put up.
 
The one thing I was wondering (and maybe someone could answer that has more experience) is if grenades "went further" in Halo 2 or 1? I feel like the range isn't very long on Master Chief's throwing arm. I can't remember if it was longer in Halo 2. Also, I haven't tried "charging" the left trigger to see if that does anything.

I was in a firefight with someone and I basically need grenade support to win (because I'm bad), so I threw the grenade and it kinda fell short a bit.

:| I didn't realise I could beg for entry. I.. *sigh* Fortunately I've got too much going on over the next couple of days to get much out of the beta. Come Wednesday though.
