The WorkPLace
(Formerly 'Halo 3 in The Work PLace')

Reach Map Variants

My Twitter

1) Why does the mongoose sound like a 50cc 4-stroke engine? (weak and "slow" sounding.) Is this the final version? I wouldn't mind hearing a strong "fast sounding" motor. A 2-stroke might be nice?

2) Why do I get a betrayal for a moron teammate who steps on a huge, orange, loud beeping land mine EVEN AFTER a 10 minute description to my team of where I am dropping it prior to doing so? If you step on it, it's your own fault, ...NOT a betrayal. There should be a 'Complete Moron' medal for cases like that.

3) How does a 10' flag pole fit upright in the pipe on High Ground? (You can carry the flag right through that thing)

Will the aiming be smoothed out it's a little choppy right now, and also will there be an auto lock on for the weapons.

i thik everyone wants anwser to this?
Why we cant have CUSTOM matches?? OR Will we get custom matches in beta?

^
for those because it would be easier to "crack down" the possible glitches and bugs..now u really need 6 players to have the "peace"to find bugs and stuff..


I can answer this, the Halo 3 Beta is only MULTILAYER meaning MATCHMAKING. its strictly only matchmaking. And as we've all been playing the matchmaking, we've found bugs and glitches. if you want something close to custom, just get 6 of your friends, sign in a guest and go to rumble training, load up a game and sign your guest out and there, you can explore without the other team trying to kill you.

How does the game calculate the MVP at the end of the game? And why does it seem to get it wrong sometimes? ^_^


It's whover has the best kill/death ratio (person with highest kills and lowest deaths).

I kill for fun



I was curious if anyone had suggestions about the HD settings for Halo 3. Ive personally noticed that the game doesnt really look any better in 1080i as opposed to 720p. Also, maybe its just my Samsung TV, but the frames tend to get noticeably choppy at 1080i but 720p seems to run perfectly smooth, any comments?

Why can't we party up with members of the opposite team in team-based ranked matches? Sometimes these are the players that I want to join up with most.

"Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will"

The beta is wonderfull and graphics are really nice but I do have a question regarding vehicles. Do you have plans to make the warthogs turret weaker and/or make vehicle splatters easier? It seems like the only vehicle that can splatter people now is the ghost, and even that is fairly hard to do.

i know that there is a basic description of the rp system in the beta section of the site but i would like a more in depth view on how rp are calculated, is it calculated by time (i.e. actual /hr. time)?

  • 05.23.2007 11:57 AM PDT

What percentage of the final graphics are actually incorporated in the beta(PLEASE BUNGIE YOU ARE 4 MONTHS AWAY AND WONT RELEASE SHOTS FROM THE FINAL THING???WTF!!! EVERY OTHER GAME OUT THERE RELEASES FINAL GRAPHICS CLOSE TO A YEAR BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE AND YOU GUYS WON'T??!!?IF YOU WANT TO BUILD HYPE,YOU ARE BUILDING DECEPTION AND FRUSTRATION).

Why haven't you answered any questions yet?

Thanks,

Maybe you should RTFA?
As part of this week's Weekly Update we're going to take a look at some of your questions about the Halo 3 Public Beta and answer them as best we can.

They are soliciting questions for the weekly update. The weekly update occurs on Friday.


Maybe you should -blam!- off? kthxbai.


Wow, someone didn't get their hotpocket today. I answer your question and you respond like a child.


Note this:

That's why you got that response. Don't be an ass and people won't be an ass back. Simple mistake on my part, didn't see the Weekly Update part. You don't have to be an ass about it.

Why does it seem the medal's names were randomized? Were there a lot of people saying they didn't like them, or were they just trying to keep it fresh. I thinks it's the only downside to the Beta.

Please could you tell me whether or not the ragdoll physics and death animations in the beta are going to remain as they are or is it possible they could be upgraded in time for release? Could you tell me whether or not you actually like the dated animations (such as the one, when blown up by a grenade or shot down in the air, the supposedly dead chap flails his arms and legs around as though he is trying to stop himself from falling). I think these animations look so previous-gen and they really let down the presentation of Halo 3. You have to get them out, kills would be so much more satisfying if we weren't subjected to that boring, predictable, ugly, frustrating, needlessly disappointing arm-flailing. The guy is supposed to be dead, I want the physics to take his corpse and have their way with it. Please answer, I'll be your friend... in bed.

I would also be interesting in something like that; like the beta tester's getting a special graphic or something

You should set the output to whatever your TV's native resolution is. If you have a Samsung DLP TV it is most likely 1280x720p. If your TV has a native resolution of 1280x720p and you feed it a 1080i signal it converts the signal to 720p. The same is also true in reverse.

1. Where is Valhalla?
2. The movement feels slower than in H2. Was the walking speed decreased?
3. Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
