Nightz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 woot, 5 am for me. no worries though as i wake up at 5 anyway. i can start the (what i assume to be a painfully slow) download when i wake up and let it run while i get ready for work. hopefully by the time i finish, the download is done and i can get a quick game or two in before going to work.

DR3AMxCATCHER Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Bungie has already updated the Halo 3 beta, just to check to see how fast they could bring out an update in case something bad was to happen. This update to the beta did delete user game recorded videos. Xbox 360 Fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted May 15, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 15, 2007 Valhalla and High Ground look awesome, not sure about Snowbound just yet, but it does look interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalE Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Valhalla and High Ground look awesome, not sure about Snowbound just yet, but it does look interesting I agree. Valhalla and High Ground are going to be sweet, but Snowbound is still kinda up in the air for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdsams Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 +1 for Neowin matchesThank god it'll be released while the kiddys are at school :D and while some of us are at work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMuffin Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Better rent it for 3 weeks :p Yeah, I'm actually REALLY ****ed off that to play Halo 3 you have to load up Crackdown EVERY SINGLE TIME. I hate starting crackdown because it takes so damn long, and you cant skip the Into Videos!! This sucks... looks like my 360 will be on 12hours/day booted into H3 Beta.

magik Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Is it possible to do custom games in the beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Author Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 Is it possible to do custom games in the beta? Nope. You can only join a party and go through matchmaking =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley porkchop Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Nope. You can only join a party and go through matchmaking =/ IIRC two player offline is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Author Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 IIRC two player offline is a possibility. Q: Why can?t I play custom games? A: The primary goal of the Beta is to test networking and matchmaking, so we want you to play as many matchmade games as possible!

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 In regards to any media related to Halo 3, such as Screens, Videos, Etc., please continue posting in the Official Halo 3 Beta Blowout created by Giga. The moment that I know countless members have been waiting for is nearly upon us... As a result, In anticipation of the countless threads that were bound to get started in regards to actually playing the Halo 3 Beta, I am starting this thread ahead of time to serve as the OFFICIAL thread for all things related to actually playing the Halo 3 Beta itself. This thread should include, but is not limited to. Impressions of Gameplay Questions about Gameplay General Comments in regards to Gameplay Help with Gameplay/Maps Strategies of Gameplay Any Exploits and/or Bugs within the Gameplay So please everyone, instead of seeing the 30 different threads that there can easily be in regards to playing the Beta, lets try to keep everything in this thread if possible. I have a funny feeling if we do, these can easily top one of the larger threads in the past year within this section. It can then serve as an incredible resource for Guests to the site and potential new members, nevermind for everyone who is currently a member. I unfortunately have to work a full day tomorrow and will not get to check the Beta out until around 6:30 PM Easter Time, so although I do hope to at least start the download before I leave for work, I will be following this thread closely all day, eager to read everyone's opinion, both positive and negative. Finally, as a friendly reminder, please remember, being perhaps the most anticipated game this year for the 360, the simple truth is some people here are bound to love the Beta, some are bound to hate it. Such is the way of the world. Just respect each-other's opinions. In closing, I truly hope that everyone who has been looking forward to this day for quite some time enjoys the experience. Game On.

goji Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Larry, do you want to make this a sticky for easier tracking for our memebers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR3AMxCATCHER Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Agreed, I think a stick and a link to giga's thread would be the best thing to do. As for discussion, who's ready for Halo 3!!??!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR3AMxCATCHER Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Bummer, downloads start 8AM EST so I gotta wait until I get home from school for this. Don't feel to bad, your not the only one. I get at school at 7 and the download opens up at 7 central :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Bummer, downloads start 8AM EST so I gotta wait until I get home from school for this. Luckily, I'm in the Central time zone, so I can start downloading at 7:00. But my school starts at 8, so I don't think I'll have any time whatsoever to play :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 16, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2007 Larry, do you want to make this a sticky for easier tracking for our memebers? Agreed, I think a stick and a link to giga's thread would be the best thing to do. In regards to Giga's thread, I already had it linked in my post in the third sentence, however since it was not noticed I moved it to the very top now so it is Crystal Clear. ;) In regards to the Sticky, Great Idea. Thread has been indefinitely pinned until it eventually dies out, if it ever does. Eventually it may just also make sense to merge the two threads actually for one amazingly in depth resource. However keeping the title of his thread and the content of the few initial few pages, it seemed originally created for all media related to the moments leading to the Beta, Screens, Videos, News, Announcements, Etc., hence why I started this thread just dedicated to the gaming aspect of the Beta itself. Again, enjoy everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
