|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

    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion.

AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products.
