|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

Halo is actually about 350% more fun when you play with people you know ( Well, sort of )

Just so god damn annoying my headset is borked and half the time, Voices go through the headset, other half through the TV speakers.

Haha, I didn't realize you were Sethos. I was just about to add you :D I'll be back there shortly.

Seriously. To top it off I have no projects to work on, everything is awaiting client approval. It is going so painfully slow.

Cool (Y) I am pretty sure all three of you jokers are on my friends list already. LOL

Just 5 hours to go for me.

Damn work...

I think I might come down with a mysterious new medical condition... Halobetaitis (joke by jerzdawg this morning via text message to me)

hey when you guys are playing do u think one of you can invite me? ;) my gamertag is iconboy ofcourse

Sneaky I Am :ninja:

Sorry i wasn't saying anything, i accidently sat on my Headset right before starting the Xbox ... So i need to go pick up a new one. Really wish they would make a more sturdy and comfortable headset.

Next time stop those Downloads too :laugh: My god, some of those lag spikes made me laugh.

hey when you guys are playing do u think one of you can invite me? ;) my gamertag is iconboy ofcourse

added you to my friends list, so as long as someone invites me, i will invite you. :yes:

Enjoyed the beta the few hours i played earlier...

only thing i pick a fault with...when holding dual weapons... using melee drops one of them... id like to be able to keep hold of em both, in the middle of combat you dont wanna have to look to pick it back up and often enough im dead before i even see it!

but apart from that im loving it :)

EDIT::

Just got my stats...

Combat Stats Games: 13

Last Played: 17/05/2007 06:24:44

Total Kills: 95

Total Deaths: 156

Kill/Death Ratio: 0.609

Total Assists: 50

lol not as good as id hope!

thanks :) maybe i should practice before you guys totally school me

lol

no worries as i will be right there with you. i will definitely not be schooling anyone.

i have maybe played 50 rounds of Halo 2 MP in my life tops. and while i was never horrible, i was nowhere near really good.

in fact, i will go out on a limb right now and say i will probably have one of if not the lowest score every round for a while. it may be possible that since i have been playing a lot of graw 2 recently i might pick it up quicker than i think, but honestly i am pretty sure i am going to suck horribly. ;)

Beta Extended 4 Days as an Apology From Bungie!!

With the beta being available for a limited time, and people staying home from school or skipping work to play, Microsoft and Bungie had to do something to build up some good will. So the beta will now be extended four extra days: instead of ending on June 6 it will continue until June 10 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Ready to be jealous of my stats.

First time i've ever played a Halo online. Also i only ever played one game even though it says 2, i joined and got killed and then game ended and froze :p

Ok, I hate all of you right now. I just finished my last final today, and now I don't have anything to do and it would be perfect if I was in the beta. Ah well.

j/k, I don't really hate you :p

-Spenser

I feel your pain.

I'm thinking I should invest in a big load of Live Gold when Halo 3 arrives :p

Good game Meshuggah. We had a good team (Y)

My GT: TastyTerrorist

Just say you're from neowin.

Damn, I completely forgot you were Tasty Terrorist this entire time until right now.

Literally everyone who wants to play here is on my Friends list, so do not hold it against me if I cannot or do not get to everyone for whatever reason.

How does it work anyway so I have some idea when I hop on in two hours? Would I want to start a match, then just invite people? Join a match and invite people? I never started a single match in Halo 2, just joined them through an old co-worker I used to play with, so I remember the lobby and all of that, but honestly do not remember how I would get there.

So if anyone wants to clue me in on to what I should do when I get home so I am not wasting a half an hour figuring it all out, by all means share away.

That was kick ass :yes: We waited on you for 10 mins or something :p Sorry we didn't invite you back, it sucks how you can't do that unless you're in the lobby

Ji@nBing and the rest of us continued on for ages, we had some pretty good matches :cool: Although I think we need to work on the bomb matches lol

Lol we waited about 10 hours for him.... At least it felt that way...

Yeah we definately need to work on our bomb maps.

We kicked some ass everywhere else though

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
