I'M A HALO NERD.

Is there going to be any kind of anti-cheating in Halo 3 and will there be a better way to report cheaters and the moder's?

Thanks... Wow I cannot wait, I've already started counting down the days haha.

And for Shadowmex, they are in pacific time, So at 12:00A.M which will be the time I get it, I'm just north of Bungie Studios, It really depends where you are in Mexico. Say you're in Western Mexico, like Puerto Vallarta, that's about 2 hours ahead of pacific time, so yours would start around 2 A.M I guess. I don't know if that's right, it could just be 12A.M everywhere.

Everyone should be happy, it is one more step closer to the public beta getting into our hands!

I am kind of happy when the public beta comes out. My last exam is on the 16th, and then I start back up my internship over the summer. Basically I have a period off between then that I will get to play it a ton woohoo!


lucky... my last exams are on the 4th, 5th and 6th, so I have to pick between Halo 3 or passing spring quarter.

Ha. My finals end on the 3rd...of May. But I'm assuming you guys are still in high school, or, failing that, in some region where they believe you should have school until mid summer.


Yea, the school year in college is very late into the summer, but, it doesn't start up again until the end of September.

I have a few questions:

1. Will guests be allowed in the Beta? (I have 2 brothers and at least 5 friends dying to play beta, I could prolly charge them >:)

2. Will players be able to host custom games, or will the beta only test matchmaking?

3. Will there be achievements for the Beta? (If not, I guess simply playing it will be a "Real Life Achievement" but it would be awesome to have that dsitinguishing metal that says "I monumentally beta tested the most monumental monument games have ever monumentally seen")

4. In the actual game (not the beta), will there be multiplayer achivements such as "1000 kills achived in matchmaking"?

5. Will clans work in the beta?

thanks

Starting as early as this weekend, it is possible you will see Gamertags on Xbox Live reporting that they are playing the "Halo 3 Beta." Rest assured, this is a Microsoft internal Beta, and not the early start of the Halo 3 Public Beta which is still scheduled for May 16th. So don't panic.


Be nice to Bill this weekend, okay guys?

Don't forget that while Bill is off "saving the world," he still cuts the checks, and the checks is what makes the wifes happy.

So, will the beta give us achievement points? Will the halo 3 stats part of bungie.net be opened and show the stats of those who are playing the beta- so we can rub it in the face of those who are not? lol Please Bungie say something I figured I would post here, because the recent Halo 2 map top story is flooded with 25 pages of complaints and Bungie has not responded, are you embarrassed that this whole map thing didn't work out as clean as you thought it would?

The beta is for people who either got in through the drawing that took place first, the race that took place second, or getting a specially marked copy of crackdown. And maybe a couple of lucky people in the forums, @ bungie's discretion.

1. I'd charge them, even if there will be unranked matchmaking for split screen.

2. If you read the FAQ, you'd know it's matchmaking only. No customs.

3. I like the idea of an achievement. but it's not very likely. Since the Beta test is not open to everyone, just people who got in through the rule of three, it really wouldn't be fair because then not everyone would have a chance @ that achievement.

I was just looking back at some of the screenshots and the latest vid. I was wondering if we would be able to get out of the levels. Going on top of the waterfall or over the gigantic wall in Valhalla would be cool. Snowbound, I hope if we can get on top of the rocks on that one side that the auto turrets cant shoot us through them.

just a quick ? ... beta testing this game implise that we will be looking for bugs/glitches and runing it hard to test it out right ... so cool ahh how are we going to be letting you know when/if we find some. i mean will you incorperate a feedback system or what cus specific bugs could be hard to explain with a simple feedback system. i meen personaly i want to play it for fun realy realy bad but when the fullgame version comes out i dont want all the glitches i know were ganna find "to cheat" in it for instance superbounce sword fly ect

lol just thought of sumthin ... lol This program has stoped responding

okay, screw the beta if its not comming out. it is rediculous that the first halo can have a trailor of halo 2, but then we never heard of halo 3 til like, 3 years later.
