|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

Probably because a lot of people (myself included) enjoy watching movies in a non-garbage resolution and quality. You're more than welcome to just not watch them. I honestly don't understand how it's that inconvenient. I downloaded the TS one, downloaded the King of the Hill one in the background while I was watching the TS one, and it was finished before it was even over. And the customization one is only like 20MB.

+1. I'd rather download a high quality video than watch the degraded crap on youtube. Hopefully Silverlight will take off, then we might not have to worry about horrible streaming quality anymore.

My buddy pwning on the new Halo 3 Beta. 14-0 - yo!

Haha, nice to see Halo veterans transitioning over well. His grenades seem real well placed though his accuracy needs some work. (im sure you just have to have to find the right sensitivity ;) )

I don't like what they done to the battle rifle.

They didn't change much other than some cosmetic ones.

Sorry, I'm a bit uninformed.

But has the Beta started since all this "Information" pops up?

Beta doesn't start till the 16th but Friends and Family started yesterday. (basically the press and bungie picked people)

Bungie sent out the Friends and Family codes yestereday with the press blowout. Anyone who was chosen (most were randomly chosen out of all b.net users) is able to download the beta right now. You can look on b.net, they're already starting up stats about how many are playing halo 3 at a point in time and such.

The rest of the beta (contest winners + Crackdown owners) starts on Wednesday.

Are these graphics final? Or is there still allot of implementation to do since it's a beta?

Don't get me wrong they look fantastic from their current standing.. I'm just curious..

It's a beta--work in progress basically. Anything can change.

But of course, it's multiplayer. (which is known to look worse than SP from the past games ;) )

Really? From what I can remember, Halo 1 and Halo 2 multiplayer graphics are pretty much equivalent to single player.

    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
    • I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
