Halo 3 blows compared to the Beta. Nothing registers in Halo 3 because the Battle Riffle is [expletive]ed up. Even though there are only two maps in the Beta right now more playlists are going to be released soon.

 

My favorite weapons are the Needle Rifle and DMR. What about you guy?

How does nothing register in Halo 3? It actually works unlike Reach beta

Shots don't register online unless you have host but you wouldn't know unless you have played on LAN.

I must get host a lot then because I haven't really noticed a huge difference. Of course, I'm not really into it competitively anymore so I don't really care. If this was Halo 3 with fixed hit registering, it would be better than Reach, because I'm just sick of the grenade spamfest and crappy crosshairs. I think the game is unplayable right now and Bungie really needs to rethink where they are going with this

No, they know they are doing. You have got to remember that this is a 17-day Beta so they probably know they are going to be things that need to be fixed. Cut them some slack man, it is Bungie we are talking about. As for the bloom, well it's makes the game take much more skill. I love the Reach Beta aside from the fact that only two maps are available. Plus, the good thing about Reach is that it is more like Halo 1 and 2 which is good since they took more skill than Halo 3 did.

You wanna play?

And yes I have huge doubts, Bungie didn't listen to criticism about Halo 3 and just ignored it and made excuses. Bloom doesn't do anything near skill, there is just way too much bloom. Maybe they should add anti-aliasing instead of bloom.

Nah, I have the SAT tomorrow and I'll be gone all weekend at my lake house so maybe sometime next week.

 

They'll be listening to it this time because it's the last game they are making so obviously they want to make it their best.

 

Anyways, some things I have noticed are:

 

-The Matchamking Lobby is the best there is on any game right now

-The ability to pick what game type you want to play

-Games are too slow

-Nades are WAY too powerful

-Powerhouse is 10x better than Swordbase

swordbase is just terrible. im not a big fan of powerhouse, but it is much better than swordbase

I love the matchmaking system. this game has the best netcode on any console

agreed with nades

it does seem more slow paced since swordbase is so big for slayer i think

 

game would be a ton better if the nade issue was fixed

The game in general is just so slow. Swordbase better not be in the actual game because it is a terrible map for King and Flag because without a jetpack it takes a bajillion years to get to the hill or flag. Plus, by the time you're halfway to the hill it has moved.

 

Also, Bungie is ballin'. They have given out like 300+ codes today.

 

I am hoping and praying that the maps are like Halo 3 because at the moment, I'd rather play Sandtrap Oddball over Swordbase. :lol:

sandtrap :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

I know how you feel man but I'm not kidding. Swordbase is just horrible.

 

What do you guys think of the new game type "Stockpile"? I personally love it.

at first I didn't quit get it, but it is growing on me

Haha, well it's fun isn't it? I always like messing with my buddy by taking a flag he dropped out and then putting it back in so I'll get the point when the flags are collected. :D

Screw these servers. I have been on the BETA for 4 hours, and I have only been able to play 3 games...wasting my time waiting for the freaking play lists to load.

I know they are backed up, but for some reason. my friend is able to play games like its all good, forcing me to sit there like an idiot waiting for it to let me search for a match, and I literally sat around for 2 hours waiting for the option to start matchmaking. My armor also reset and it hasn't come back in a while.

I finally got to play some games, very fun.

Powerhouse = jetpacks, it never fails.

 

Grenades are strong as hell too, other than that, fun game, especially covy slayer.

So what armor abilities do you guys like best? My favorite is guard, I've been having a field day with it.

I like the running one. I'm not sure which one that is but it's fun. Also, what's up with people saying it's hard to find matches? I've found them just fine.
