The Halo 3 Beta Thread

The covenant carbine absolutely murders the battle rifle. I think it's a little overpowered. I think the shotgun is totally nerfed, though. I've gotten maybe two kills with it.

Nerfed? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I think the carbine finally has potential. However, I'm biased towards human weapons, so I probably won't be use it too often. And the shotgun seems the same to me.
 
Halo 3's shotty, while not quite the boomstick that Halo 1 had, is still quite nice. and can be somewhat effective at mid range. Bungie should not have the damage drop out so steeply though for the final game.

I haven't been able to kill anything with it, to the point that I've just stopped bothering picking it up.

It was worse in Halo 2?
 
To whoever mentioned stand-bying before (I remember reading a similar occurence):

Well, something strange just happened to me. We were playing and we all went into the blue screen after our team mate left. After waiting a bit, my friend (who I know in person and I know would not stand-by) said he could walk around while we were still stuck in the screen. So... now you don't even need to do anything to stand-by, it does it for you? :lol
 
Here are my stats:

I mosty play Rumble Pit. Right now I'm at a skill level of 24.

Really? It's a one hit kill at any range less than 5 meters.

Wow, I've popped plenty of people right in the chest with it to no avail. Maybe just betaness.

I need to figure out how to get videos off my tv onto my computer. I just had a killer snipe coming off the man cannon in Valhalla against some poor bastard on the other side of the map in a corner. It'd make a great gif.
If you don't mind SD, I can cap it for you tomorrow if you send it to me with a reminder!

My rank is so low because I freeze out a lot, and they demote me ;_;
I've been playing social team games with internet friends almost exclusively; it's awesome times!

The ability to cut, save and send clips is confirmed.

What about a free look... I mean, that's what I was hoping for; the ability to float around anywhere during the recorded match to see what other people were doing at that moment from an external cam. Any word on that?

seriously, last game of VIP I played on Snowbound was amazing, almost every shot or two shots killed someone

Wow up to this point I'd only seen one lieutenant, let alone someone moving up the captain ranks. That's nuts.

How much RP?

This is how I remember the H2 shotgun to work. How exactly is it improved?

(God, I need Xbox Live to start working. Now.)
 
This game is so chaotic on so many levels.

Do yourself a favor and get into a game of messing around. We spent like half an hour just making the mongoose do barrel rolls by shooting a brute shot off the back. Insane stuff.
 
Man, I've got matched with the guy I posted about yesterday, where he only had 3-5 kills and was bitching at us...literally just played 3 games with him. I had him on mute (thanks A-Hole button!), but we had a 3v3 Valhalla (UGH!) and we had like a level 40 girl on our team, and he was bitching at her apparently because she was arguing, it was pretty funny...but anyways the game was going terrible, they had both snipers, so I was like **** this, dropped a trip mine on the douchebags head, betrayal, quit game :D

the one thing I want Bungie to change with the spartan laser is to make it one of the big weapons that slow you down.

Hell yes, that thing is ridiculous. I like how in the previews of the game they're all "The laser has a laser pointer on it so only stupid people who don't dodge it will get hit!" but in reality it's almost impossible to dodge the shot if the other guy is a decent aim. They need to add some sort of disadvantage to the laser.
 
It has a disadvantage, you can't shoot the damn thing for until 3 seconds pass, if you cant' find cover, then yea you probably deserved it :P Of course, there are times when you get a lame spawn, but then there are alot of weapons that would destroy you in that case...

I think they should make the gun shake around as you charge it so its harder to aim.
 
That's crazy, the spartan laser is fine. It has all sorts of disadvantages, 9 times out of 10 I'm not finding it where it spawns, I'm finding it near someone's body... that says something. :lol
 
Wow, I just put 6 hours in tonight. Played some awesome games. Got teamed up with Hgplayer who is murder with the warthog. So funny watching him and his gunner ring up 15 kills to start a game.

I noticed a ton of lag tonight. Was most noticeable with the sniper. I would snipe a guy watch the bullet go through his head and nothing would happen. One time I shot the guy three times in the head, never dropped his shield a bit and then finally just switched to my BR, rushed him and took him out with 3 bursts. Really odd crap like that.


You guys can talk all about how strong the shotty is now but my favorite weapon in this game now is the needler. That thing freakin ownz. Running with that and the AR is so much fun.


I finally hit level 10 tonight too. FINALLY. I hope you are proud of me Ramirez. :)
 
Everyone here ask for people to add them and play but it seems it doesn't actually happen.
I'm looking for some people to play with now. I'm below average I guess and I don't mind playing with anyone, My GT's KimiSan.
