Okay when are they going to tell us the dates for the beta test.... I bought that stupid crackdown just to play the beta and now I don't even know when it is going to be held can someone please let me know.

Thanks to a blown transformer, the Weekly Update is lacking imagery. That said, there's a few nuggets of information in here for folks looking forward to the forthcoming public beta, and a revelation or two about what options will be available.

Seriously, there was almost no mention to the Halo 3 beta......Don't say you will have info on something unless you do. I don't know why I am posting this either, because nobody from bungie is even going to read it. Oh well...: (

*Sits and waits for beta to come online in Crackdown*

The X button is to mute players. Now we know what the X button does. Thank you.

JUST SAY WHEN THE BETA WILL ARRIVE! With my luck, I'll check everyday, stop for 3, and during those 3 it will come out! I'm sick of playing guessing games with you, Bungie! First it was to sign up for "Rule of Three"(missed it), and now with the Beta. As much as I love Crackdown, I don't play it anymore now that I've thrashed it, so just save me the trouble of putting the disc in my Xbox, loading it, and checking the downloads section BY JUST SAYING: "The Halo 3 Beta will arrive on the **th of March/April"

PS:Spring is such a vague time... It's 3 whole months! 91 Days! 2,184 Hours! 131,040 Minutes to wait!

Hellow, i would like to tell bungie that i am really looking forward for that beta release date. I am shortly leaving to LA to start college and i am almost sure that i wont have internet at my new place, and this is happening around MAY... I am really looing forward for that BETA release date cause I kno that i am only going to play it if it comes out this month or in APRIL, it s just not fair that I stayed up all night wating for that halo 3 website to open so that i could sign up on it. I am very happy that i made it IN, but im not sure anymore if i am even gong to be able to enjoy the beta now that i am leaving to LA,, SO PLEASE BUNGIE, I WOULD REALY APRECIATE IF YOU GUYS GAVE US A RELEASE DATE,,, THANK YOU FOR THE COOL UPDATE....

This is really getting ridiculous with the lack of info on H2V. This week saw a wealth of information published on H2V, including a release date, a blog by Hired Gun, 5 new screenies, and a gameplay video. If Bungie wants to spend all their time saying OMG TEH WATERZ IN HAOL 3 IST TEH COOLZ, and not even bothering to drop a tidbit of H2V info, then fine, but don't expect me, The Maw, or any of the PC gaming community (yes there is one) to buy H2V.

Think about it from a logical point of view. Bungie wants money. Bungie makes Halo 3, for which all the console fanboys pay $30 for the game and $400 for the 360. PC users buy H2V and spend $60 on the game, $300 for the new OS, and about $2000 for a computer that can run it. Granted, Bungie never directly gets money for the Xbox, OS, or new computer, but guess where taht money goes? Microsoft. Microsoft and Bungie have a contract. When Microsoft gets money, so does Bungie. 'Nuff said.

LONG LIVE TEH MAWZORZ



Dude are you an idiot first id just like to say that if you knew anything about game prices youd know that there are multiple packages for halo 3 the cheapest being somewhere between 63-65 dollars and the Legendary Edition being 117 and some odd change i know this because i have preordered and fully paid off my Halo 3 Legendary edition also the Halo 2 Vista will most likely be somewhere between 30-50 dollars theres no way they would make you pay 60 bucks for a port with a few updates granted it wil most likely be a very good port but none the less its is still a port also i would like to pint out that Bungie most likely gets ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY for people buying new computers and and New OS's i know you said they dont get money because of people getting these things but just becasue Microsoft gets more does not mean that Bungie gets more money Contracts are exactly what they are called Contracts they are predetermined requirements payments and such they most likely got a contract with a predetermined monetary amount that they would get and then they get their cut from the game sales so id just basically like to ask you to shut the hell up about things of which you do not know i just annoys me when people -blam!- by saying WHY DOESENT BUNGIE TELL US EVERY DETAIL ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY DO THAT WAY WEHN THE GAME COMES OUT I WONT BE SURPRISED AT ALL especially since it was plainly stated in YELLOW TEXT I MIGHT ADD that bungie is not producing Halo 2 Vista so therefore they will not be announcing EVERY LITTLE DETAIL he even said you should google it so ..............................go on go ahead and google it

hahaha... ewoks in halo three. that would be about as unthinkable as bungie putting in bots in halo 3 for us... oh well. also, you have just about the worst spelling i have ever seen. have you graduated highschool yet???


anyways, good update bungie, but i didn't really hear anything about the halo 3 beta, except for maybe bigger weapons on the ground and muting voices, but that's about it.

Mysterious "X" Button

My guess is that it is more likely the “X” button (As some of you might know) might be something that we have guessed and asked for before. It does stand to conclude that it might be only activated when a certain situation might arise or held for a couple of seconds to access a new option, for tapping the “X” button is commonly used to reload a weapon over and over.

My first guess would be the mystical “X” button will allow a player to do sometime to the certain weapon that is in hand. It would be to reason, that they made it so you hold down the “X” button to access menu to change the burst rate of fire. This could help conserve the ammo problem that we have constantly in Halo 1 or 2.

Second guess is that it is used to interact with the environment in a way that we have not been able to do before. Like climbing up something, picking up a boulder to throw it, or use something as a shield to protect you from incoming projectiles. This would be a pretty interesting concept. It would be fun and amusing to see players running around, testing the “X” button everywhere on the map.

Or my third guess, it would be used to throw the empty weapon at your opponent to do some damage. Image in a middle of a gun fight, your out of ammo and you don’t have time to go hunt for a new weapon. So you decide to throw your weapon at your enemy, causing to be knocking by the blow while you run towards cover or a new weapon.

There are a lot of things that the “X” button function can be used for, let alone the other buttons that are on the Xbox 360 controller. As for the answer… “The Truth is out there…”

Halo 2 Vista

When it comes to new maps? There must be a lot of new improvements on Halo 2 Vista Maps that are coming soon… If you noticed, there been a lot of new talk about environment graphics from Frankie.

Could it be that the new maps will have a major improvement over the older maps, an improvement that can only be rendered on the 360? I am guess that is why they would be only for Xbox 360. They would not be possible on the regular Xbox…

Not really sure, but they are suppose to be released BEFORE Halo 3 comes out, along with the Halo 3 beta. So I be looking for the BETA release more than anything else.

If I missed an answer to this question on a previous post I apologize. The burning question in my mind is if H3 will be on a dedicated server and if not what additional improved measures will be taken against cheating. I know you guys have continued to work hard to get these bis-natches banned, but it would be nice knowing that all stops are out on taking them down. Thanks for keeping us updated and all your hard work!

I don't have sources for this, but I believe that Bungie has stated that they won't be using dedicated servers. Also, I think they have addressed cheating in a previous update. But again, not confirmed because I'm lazy.
