20 kill spree. Nine with the Laser.
kthxbi
You implied you had a 20 kill spree using the laser which is not necessarily true since you used other weapons. It's pretty silly to claim the laser is too powerful considering it was just over 1/3 of your kills.
You're almost as good as my friend Kov. He went 46-6 on a territories on Highground. Too bad it doesn't say what his spree was.

I played the beta for the 1sr time today. First I'm rubbish if anyone see's me online be prepared for easy kills. Number 2 I love it, the attention to detail for a beta is stunning, I managed to blow myself across one map into the water there looking at the sky wards I watched as my grenades floated down the river. great game.

Not me, I just linked his tag for you. He stated he was able to get the spree "because of it" which is clearly the case considering just shy of half his kills came by way of Lazer.
I don't agree with him that it needs to be nerfed, but I do acknowledge that it is the easiest power weapon to get kills with. It's basically a sniper with limited ammo with a larger reticle that will kill with one trigger pull, even when the strike is to the body.

I've read them consistently since before Halo 3 was announced, can't remember when I startedTieno said:

My GOD. I actually learned a lot from that. Such as, never, ever play against Eric WK.
I went back a re-read it recently. It's been interesting to see him go from Bungie noob to becoming Bungie's main community contact. And he's a GREAT writer. The updates are usually very interesting, but they're always well-written and fun to read.Tieno said:

Remind me to show you the video that I rapetimed Snake and his cronies when I was playing on a team of all Chinese-speaking players, :lol.
Btw, it was the first match I ever played in the Beta.

So Awesome.
So Awesome.
I'm hopelessly awful at H3 mp beta. I wish the beta (and game,) included a bot mode for practice. Frankly, outside the fact that I hadn't played H2 mp in ages, the subtle control changes made a huge difference for me. Suddenly I was being shot at repeatedly, while frantically trying to reload, only to find myself deploying a shield depletion grenade that ended up killing myself (add variations for shield grenade + grenade for self mutilation). The controls, while not fundamentally very different, just make a huge difference.
Treat me kindly, should I ever cross your aim.
Edit: I'd settle for an exploration feature within the game to explore the maps even without bots. The other part of my tragedy involves running around like a headless chicken with no clue where to go for preferred weaponry.
I should mention that the game is awesome so far. There, my other 2 cents.

'goose surfing! so awesome that you can stand on a mongoose while it's bombing around! 
(not tried it on a warthog..)
This game/beta needs an Oscar for best sound mixing, best sound editing and best supporting Actress. Next, next-gen audio has arrived.
Sorry if this has been mentioned but has there been any discussion on some of the missing stats? I couldn't find the stat screen which told you who you killed how many times, how much ammo you've used or the accuracy percentage. I hope it makes it in the final build. (or have I missed it?)

Hit the Back button after the round. Use the bumpers to toggle between reports. Once you're in the next lobby, you have to go to b.net.
Well they know your rep. I don't blame them...MMaRsu said:
The best thing about the saved films is that if you watch it from your POV, you can pretty much remember exactly what you were thinking at every moment. After the first early death (which was total bs to me), I was like "WTF Oh shit.. it's on."Haklong said:
It also gives you the opportunity to see when you did screw up and what you should've done. It needs a rewind/slo mo feature badly though.

I think the full game will have more options for the movies so it should be great. I think it will have the option to slo mo and rewind.
That's a "call sign", an optional way to identify players. It's displayed instead of the icons from Halo 2 ("hey guy with yellow square and red squiggles!". If you target the player, their Gamertag replaces the callsign.maynerd said:
The number/letters is just the simple format they picked.

1. a way to quickly give commands to your teammates without using their whole gamertag
2. see above
3. 1 alpha and two numeric i would guess is to make it more random, 3 digits because spartan callsigns are three digits

High Ground becomes kinda annoying. Like 95 % of random matches the map was High Ground. And mostly slayer....
Played this snowmap 3 times until now and never the third map....

Sorry if I wasn't clear but I meant specifically the stat pages/report that shows you how much ammo you have used as well as things like accuracy percentage also the stat page where you can select a person to see how many times you have killed them as well as how many times they have killed you, like in halo 2. I couldn't find it among the reports

Well it needs the Halo 3 engine and assets so I would imagine you'll only be able to watch it inside the game.

you can see killed/killed you on the individual player sheets (on the stats screen press A on the player's name, or press A on the team name and then flick through players with the bumpers). also shows tool of destruction and individual medals.
I don't remember seeing bullets used and accuracy, but everything else you've mentioned is there (highlight the individual player).Vespa said:Sorry if I wasn't clear but I meant specifically the stat pages/report that shows you how much ammo you have used as well as things like accuracy percentage also the stat page where you can slecet a person to see how many times you have killed them as well as how many times they have killed you, like in halo 2.
