|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I'm having some connection problems just now :( It really sucks, I can't even connect to Neowin without using a proxy server.

Hopefully I'll be on soon and sorted out the lag :(

[sambrentnall]

ok iv just played my first couple of games on high ground and its amazing. but one question. on buy used the bubble thing (correct me with the name please) were do i find this and how do i use it?

[gigapixels Veteran]

The shield is an "equipment" item, which are found throughout the map. There are only a few different ones that I've encountered: the shield, a grav lift (let's you go much higher up, to scale a wall or something), and an electrical field that destroys anything near it (I think that's what it was). Once you pick one of them up, you'll see an icon underneath your grenade counts in the top left corner, and you press X to use it. It's a one-time use thing.

It's a blast to throw a Grav Lift infront of a Vehicle :laugh:

Also for enemies on foot. Instead of following me through the shield door in Snowbound they just flew up and landed on the roof. :p

[sambrentnall]

You forgot the trip mine. I threw one down in Valhalla last night and got a triple kill :laugh:

[Guyro]

the problem with hte bubble shield is enemies can walk in behind you so its no good at close combat, but i imagine would be brilliant if someone had a spartan laser sighted on you

A very nice person on the HBO forums gave me his Halo 3 Beta code, so I am now IN!!! So if any of you want to add me as a friend, my GT is andromeda6478. Feel free to invite me to a game if you guys are playing! I played a few now and it's so much fun. All my friends like it a lot!

larry is ur xbl DirtyLarry? because if it is ive added you

NJ DirtyLarry ;)

So there is another DirtyLarry... just not from NJ.. .lol...

http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile...rTag=DirtyLarry

I am not sure if they just took all of the names from the original Live from XBox 1 or not and secured them for this version, but I am 99.5% sure my original name was DirtyLarry on Live. I completely forgot all of the Log In info for it eventually, and just let it run out.

If you see above, the regular DirtyLarry has 0 points and was last seen never.

Actually since you guys got me going on it again, I may try to call support again and get it switched over. The first time I tried over a year ago I got frustrated and gave up, but even if it costs me the stupid points, I really want it without the NJ in front of it.

Edit - Now that I see it is my 6000th post, I feel like it is meant to be pursued!!!

[gigapixels Veteran]

Ah, I just got out of a very fun session with InsaneNutter :)

Seriously, if it weren't for the little bit of self-control that I have, I would be playing this 24/7.

I'll be on again in about an hour or so, so hopefully I'll see you guys then.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Signing on now, have exactly an hour to play.

Should I create a match or can someone invite me to play?

And oh yeah, just got off the phone with support, even if DirtyLarry was my name, which I am damn sure it was, it is now considered dead and there is nothing they can do about it. :rolleyes:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I had to join a public match, so if anyone signs on, feel free to invite me, these public matches SUCK.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

A couple of us are playing just now if anybody wants to join?

Just send Mastergreeneye, dirtylarry or myself a message and we'll invite you if we can :)

[Maximum Error]

Hey, i've just started playing the beta and its great so far.... has braught me back to the amazing days of Halo 2's multiplayer. Its surprising that they have a beta that is hands down the best online multiplayer for the 360. Seems the guys at bungie have done it again!

I cant come on now but i've added a few of the obvious gamertags i could see in this thread but feel free to add me... Maximum Error

[Samboini]

I'm probably one of the only ones here that went through training over and over with a strategician during an active war.

Not being picky, but this isn't real life. People rarely play as a team on public matches.

And to the person who said the game needs excitement, excitement gets you killed. Ask any dead replacement soldier.

If the game wasn't exciting it would defeat the point. I appreciate what you are saying but lighten up, life isn't all about having sex at 22:00 hours with the missuses legs akimbo at 86 degrees!

[gigapixels Veteran]

This is my best round yet:

I uploaded the video to my share if anybody wants to watch :)

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I just joined up, I can't wait to own some people :)!

[Ji@nBing]

How do you talk in game? Do you have to hold down the d-pad, or does just hitting it once turn it on?

I had to join a public match, so if anyone signs on, feel free to invite me, these public matches SUCK.

Yeah dude. The last one I was in, two guys on my team were yelling and swearing at each other over who got the sniper rifle. Pathetic.

[gigapixels Veteran]

With the headset, right? You can talk all the time, but only those around you will hear it, no matter what team they're on. But if you hold any direction on the D-pad, you'll do team chat, and that can be heard by your team no matter where they are on the map. You have to hold the D-pad down though to stay in team chat.

You don't need to hold it down. You just need to hit it once, and it'll stay on until you finish talking.

Oh, well I didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Meshuggah]

Oh, I thought you had to hold it too. It makes a lot more sense now, haha. The last game rocked with Larry and Trong. We owned up poor little pixels and munky. Of course we lost every other round imaginable thanks to Und3xoath.
