Halo 3 beta analysis

Anything you think should be put in taken out/changed???

I think they should put in the good old fuel rod

sorry for double post.

i hope fuel rod comes to multiplayer too....


i like it as is

oh ya... go fuel rod!

carrying a turret is awsome


missile pod FTW

A fuel rod cannon would be ok if it did 1/2 or 3/4 damge so that it was'nt as powerful as the rocket launcer.
Get rid of missle pods and give rockets back their tracking capabilities.

Yeah.. the pod sucks.. but lock on also does..

lock on doesn't suck. the laser is the best weapon, period.

i didn't like rocket homing.... it made it useless to be in any vehicle... as 1 rocket in the right place can 1 hit kill any vehicle.....

Okay guys, i just bought the GamePro magazine w/ a 16 page story about H3 in there. Anything interesting i'll post.

BWUAH HA HA HA!!

Not fair lol do post plz... i'll try to get a news section up so u can post stuff...

yes please do share

The beta is terrible. If the MP is in anyway close, I guess I am going to play h2. They destroyed so many elements of the game, and I though what they did to h2 was bad. It lacks the thing that separates the good kids from the noobs. The game play is slowed down a lot. They destroyed the BR and the pistol and just left the carbine to rape. The Pistol would have a better chance of being the MLG starting weapon over the BR even if it takes 5 shots. Though the BR has distance now its almost impossible to get a four shot mid range. I only got four shots up close.

h1 was fast.
h2 was medium
h3 is slow.

dude... it was the beta....


everyone ive talked to has said that the beta is very fast paced.... and every gameplay video ive watched confirms that it is very fast paced....

i only got to play 3 rounds.... and in all 3 rounds i had more fun then i ever did in halo 2......


and bungie has acknowledged the carbine issue

I'm sorry but Halo 2 drops my jaw even to this day. I was not impressed with the Beta. I threw my crack down in the garbage after 2 days, seriously. Honestly, theres is nothing like getting clutch kills in h2.

I know this sounds really nooby but I'll say it anyways. The decrease in Auto Aim is Halo 3 makes the battles longer and boring. Halo 2 actually made me believe MC was the master of all weapons and vehicles...

And for those who think H3 was fast paced, well theres a difference of fast paced and everyone fighting the same spot because the maps are GHEYYYYYY.

Maybe if the beta was released with some less ghey maps maybe I would have enjoyed it.

Whats this guys problem?

A. It's a beta

B. It's Halo

C. Longer battles? Really? By a few seconds maybe...

D. The maps were not finished and still fun

Okay guys, here's the low-down on the weapons from the GamePro magazine...

BruteShot: can now hold 6 shots and has improved accuracy

RocketLauncher: no heat-seeking, no zoom, but significantly increased damage

Shotgun: noly 6 shells per magazine, devastating in close quarters

BattleRifle: slightly weaker

BeamRifle: No noticeable changes

Carbine: no noticeable tweaks; flashier and jucier sound and visual effects

PlasmaRifle: flashier effects, fundamentally the same

SMG: a 'zippier' firing rate

SniperRifle: vetor-style nightscope (helps spot hidden enemies) addition

FragGrenade: Faster fuse, slightly less splash damage, can only carry two at a time.

PlasmaGrenade: 'cornea-frying special effects'

AssaultRifle: 32 round clip

MissilePd: fires miniature heat-seeking missiles, low ammunition and slows movement speed

Chaingun: common turrent weapo, accuracy is limited, slower movement

Needler: powerful weapon, ripid firing rate, samll ammo clip

PlasmaPistol: battery life 'leaks' away when overcharged, and is less likely to home-in on enemies, ccan now disable vehicles

SpartanLaser: a vehicular sniper rifle, three second firing delay

SpikeRifle: spiritual succesor to BrutePlasmaRifle, sptis out rapid-fire stream of red-hot spikes, very powerful

Magnum: slower firing rate, but more powerful, holds 8 rounds, can't zoom

hmm...thats really interesting.. though some of the stuff i was a little dissapointed like the frags ( less can be carried ) etc. ..... hey when u mean on energysword part....(weapon-switch delay ) u mean that u have to power it off/on before/after u take out another weapon?

I personally played somewhere around 100 matches on the beta... trust me when I say it will be worth it.

It means that when you switch to the EnergySword, it will delay before it powers on.

(i wish i played the beta *sniffle*)

I just wish i could of played it longer...

i only got to play like 3 rounds

I didn't get to play at all. And all anyone talked about was how great it was.

hehe lol... i didnt get to play it either ... cant wait to get Halo 3!
