The Halo 3 Beta Thread

I've passed your note along to the network engineers, so that they're aware of it. My understanding, though, is that this is addressed by giving the exploiting player a progressively worse host rating, so that he ends up where even a guy on a 28.8 modem would be chosen as host before him. It's sort of a waste of a nice fat connection. He won't be able to find games if he restricts his connection, either. Too bad, so sad.

It does take some time, though. Some of our systems (like skill based matching, host selection, etc) learn over time. The trick is keeping them from becoming self aware and initiating Judgement Day, but we're pretty sure we have that in hand.

Ferrex please check your PM. I have further information which should be helpful to the network engineers.
 
I just realized why I hate FFA so much. Five prepuberty kids playing on in a party stealin gall my kills and teabagging me saying I'm too old to play a kid's game. Love the feedback system on here :D

I ran into a problem last night. I counldnt save anymore games, I hope there isnt a limit in the final version.

Also Master Chief throws like we wants to score a touch down, the human gernades still bounce too much.

Do you mean that game videos? There is a limit to the number of MBs in each person's fileshare. There will be a limit in the final game as well, though the one in the beta is a bit smaller.
 
I got the luckiest double kill this morning:)

That is awesome. I like that the fusion core is nicely perched over the man cannon so you can send that out as well :D

I hope the man cannons are used extensively in the singleplayer game as well.

Fantastic!
I cry that we can't see this from a different angle...you could make that video even cooler by following the nade and the tripmine in slow motion.
 
one more nitpick i hope gets fixed for the final (along with icon color in oddball/vip/hill) - if you hold down back, it cancels out any other controller input. for example, if i'm setting up for a flag capture and crouch walking into position, i'll hold down back to check the status of my team and the opposing team (who is alive and who is dead). if you do that in the h3 beta, it cancels your controller input for crouching, which means you have to be stationary to do it and remain undected.
 
and while we're on the topic of that back menu. does anyone else have trouble reading it like I do. it seems a little too transparent and I end up having to take an extra second or two to find out my score. any bungie readers, consider highlighting that a bit more for the final (or atleast highlight your own score)?
 
My fun in Team Slayer and Team Skirmish seems to have come to an end... Just played a match where I sucked and the some of the guys told me to quit instead of ruining their game.

Luckily there is Rumble Pit, where I can suck all I like and nobody complains :-(

Haha, I tried that with a mine but apparently I was just one step back and ended positioning the mine just in front of the mancannon
 
I love tripmines. I was playing VIP on Valhalla and planted one inside the enemies base, and completely forgot about it. About 2 minutes later I get the "Double Kill" message, and I'm totally confused as to how I got it. Yet to get any mancannon kills like that, but what will be really humiliating is if someone dies by getting hit by the fusion core that you can push into it.

a friend and i were wrecking shop on valhala in a warthog and we got hit by one! :lol

we survived though ;)
 
I always push the fusion cores into the mancannon in hope to get a kill. To this day I have had zero succes, but I will persist.
 
This game is way too easy to kill people and dominate.

Mostly the reasons why I die is because I get killed from some noob who gets lucky and spawns behind me.

Quick, print your stats out and show it to women. They'll pull your junk out right there on the spot!
 
The more I see this game (and believe me, I've spent hours watching films the last few days) the more I think this game looks great. The lighting really is spot on especially.

I really want them to just add roaming mode to the replay in the beta, so I could float around admiring stuff.

i agree 100%, but one aspect of the lighting i'd like to see improved is the environment shadows casted on players and vehicles. its got the pgr3 effect, in which your either completely in the shade, or completely in the sun. i want forza 2 shadows, in which the warthog could be partially shadowed. a small nitpick to be sure :)

What do you mean? Like the only part of the shadow being cast on an object?
 
Anyone up for some games? Noone seems to be willing to join my party. :(. GT: Your Arsonist. I'm good for your k/d ratio.

spermatic cord, why don't you request Bungie to get this awesome clip from different angle. Sure gamers can see only with first person view in beta, but the way saving works, Bungie might be able to reproduce it from different angle. Somebody else in that game might have saved it from his/her view.

If I get Valhalla team slayer one more time, I'm gonna break my Crackdown disc. >:|

Why is High Ground show up the least of the three maps? Is it because they know it's everyone's favorite? :\

Did you just happen to open up the beta thread and just read my post? If you haven't noticed about 1000 other people have done the same to find other people near their skill to run games.

I understand why you are so mad. It's ok if you're bad at the game. I was just stating the truth. I can understand why you have so much animosity. You play rumble and team training all day and somehow still have a negative kill to death ratio.

All you have played are team games, play by yourself and see if that still rings true.

If you own a Speedtouch ADSL Modem or Router, you will not be able to play the Beta. Way to go Bungie.. :(

works fine with my Speedtouch 780i WL
 
We need to play together sometime Eric :D

It's alot easier to level up in this game than Halo 2 for some reason, maybe the numbers go higher, highest I ever managed to get in 2 was like 35 and I'm already a 37-39, just wish I would quit getting put on teams full of complainers if you don't have a perfect game. :|

It's harder to keep a k/d ratio in skirmish games because you end up sacrificing yourself for the goal/team, IMO. Unless he's one of those guys that stands back and snipes in all day in a CTF game.
