|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

I believe they just decreased the range of the auto aim, which IMO was brilliant. More skill, less computer aid.

No, I'm not talking about the auto-aim. The rate of the auto-aim now is really good, I like it as it's not too much but seems to be just enough. I'm talking about the acceleration of the aim. When you push your stick all the way to one direction it seems to accelerate really rapidly to that direction and you can't really slow it down by going in the middle because when you nudge it towards a direction it goes too slowly, but doing it a little more and it goes full speed. In Halo 2, it seemed more 'analog' in it's motion in that you can really control the speed of the turning much more than you could in the beta. Hopefully this gets tweaked for the final.

I'm having a problem saving videos. I could do it an hour ago, but now I can't. I tried deleting a couple just to see if I had hit some limit or something, but it's still not working. Has anybody had any issues saving films lately? I REALLY want to save this one too. I did really well :(

Well when people were having issues near the beginning of the beta, where it said that the beta was over, it still allowed them to watch films IIRC. It happened to me once.

haven't played all that much, but the times i did play were all equally awesome, especially some games at a friend's place, a lot of swearing and laughing :laugh:

woah... thats some freaky face... maybe we'll get to see his face in campaign then if they've actually got it in the model. whats happened under his left eye (its on the right in the video, but for him its his left), thats some nasty scar that you wouldn't get if you're in one of those suits 24/7 :p

For some reason I still can't see any face in that. I just see some spots and thats it. :s

Check your brightness and contrast, and/or for example on my powerbook I had tilt my screen a little. It is there, the eyes, cheeks, and some nose, it is just buried among the black.

May be the scar is from the flood form that gets inside his suite in Halo ? Or did it get through his neck ?

magik you read the books, remember ?

Yea, IIRC, I believe it latched on to the back of his neck where his suit isn't really plated. But I don't think this would create that scar under his eye like that. Maybe the scar is from one of the earlier training missions or something like that? I'm really not sure where it could be from...

The upcoming comics might shed some light ;)

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
