The Halo 3 Beta Thread

I like the Needler but I find it too inconsistent. it seems like sometimes it tracks and sometimes it doesn't. maybe it's a range thing, but I try to use it at close-mid range.

if i'm holding Shotgun/AR, I'll drop AR for Needler.
if I'm holding BR/AR, I won't drop AR

so youre a shotgun whore?
 
For the first time in any game I just heard someone yell...You just got Rickrolled. Can't ****ing believe it. And nobody post that shit because it'll get you banned.

Spotted over at another forum - Gamepro posted their cover. Nice artwork, but I can't believe they say "all maps revealed" when they reveal....five. And show artwork for another. :\
 
I've said it before but... I'm still yet to have a successful reconnect after the host leaves. Every single time (and I really mean this) the game ended up sending me back to the lobby. Halo 2 handled it pretty well (at least much better than the H3 beta), so I'm guessing this is just a result of some unfinished network code which I'm sure will be ironed out by release.
 
=Any word at all at the final map count? Hopefully the game is packed full of them. :P Some classic H1 maps making a return would also be nice.

You should do the network test in the dashboard and make sure it says Open for NAT.

The last we heard was in an interview a few pages back where Sketch said the total would be similar to Halo 1 and Halo 2. Probably around a dozen.

No big. I played Double Team with Urk. I'm going to watch the Cavs now.

I too was bothered by the Gamepro cover saying "all maps revealed." Then again, it is Gamepro.

don't you hold the sword in your right hand? oh noez

dual wieldable swords confirmed

I know you're not serious but...

What would be the purpose of dual wieldable swords? You're stuck with very short range weapons with no possibilities to defend yourself at a longer range (grenades).
 
I just won a 2 on 1 (guy quit before the game even started) because the other guys team mate was so bad :lol

I hid at the last minute when I was one above him, then he came at me and we killed each other at the same time, by the time we respawned it was over :)

so does anyone here still play custom games?

is it okay with bungie if we do so, or can we expect a banhammer?

I haven't played because they come to your house and steal your 360. It's true.
 
why does that gamepro cover look a million times better than the mockup we've seen for the halo 3 cover?

Makes me want that Zune even more. When is this on shelves?
 
the disgruntled gamer said:
Yeah, it does.

the blue spartan's position looks a bit ackward to me... but other then that its ace. and yeah, its better then the official one, which IMO is kind of "meh".

Tastes vary, but this one is shocking. The Gamepro cover looks like a cartoon. Take away the MS watermarks and this one is ace.

Shocking? Cartoon? Well, I'm so very sorry that I prefer shit blowing up and spartans with Shotties and swords over Master Chief running away from blue clouds and the Microsoft Games Studios logo.

Spin attack? Twice the coolness?

And yeah, some AA would really make a giant difference.

So very true. Ive been paranoid that its just my resolution, but the jaggies are the only down side to graphics right now as far as Im concerned.

I guess the banshees and the huge ass battle is something only I can see. And how do you know he's running away? He could be running towards something.

If you make it to level 15 in rumble pit then you start to get your ass handed to you and you are falling middle to bottom of the pack everygame, why would you want to drop down levels? If your K/D ratio is anywhere between -2 to +2 then you are right where you belong. You should stay at that level until you get better, then you will start to level up.

You earned that 15 in rumble pit, why do you want to lose it so quickly?

In order for a ranking system to work (and by work I mean largely to stop assholes from de-ranking) some people have to get bit in the ass. If the small percentage of people get bit in the ass and it stops most of de-levelers then the SYSTEM WORKS

Ok, you see, I'm talking about hitting 20, being outclassed, and going all the way to 33. I'm not sure how you got me complaining about -2 K/D ratios but I'm not. You mention staying at the level when you start getting -2 K/D but your rating will take you far beyond that. The system does not work. Going up has got to be as easy as going down or you will inevitably rise far beyond your skill level. That will affect everyone, not a small percentage.

People can still de-level if they really want, but the system doesn't match people of similar skill. Hence I say the system doesn't work.

*once again only applying to rumble pit etc.....

Yeah, that sounds borked. It wasn't like that in Halo 2. It became more and more difficult to gain the next level as you went up.
