okay this is to everyone that keeps -blam!-in about graphics:

1. it is only a beta, settle down

2. the graphics arent bad especially if ur playin on a hd tv. on a normal tv there k but when u play it on an 1080i tv it looks amazing. i sugjest getting a new tv if u have a non-hd one

3. have faith in bungie they wont let us down

i think you should let the players elxplore the map like go off of the map. like on snowbound when you try to get passed the turrets you shouldnt just hit a invisible wall you should be able to go past it if you can get passed the turrets without getting killed.

I'm sure you've gotten a ton of questions like this, but are the graphics seriously representative of the final product?

In no way am I saying the game looks bad, but it definitely is a step below many other 360 games that are out there.

Don't get me wrong, I love the beta, it's really fun and the new additions and changes are great. But the graphics are still important....

Given the apparent discrepancy between the speed of Banshees in the Beta and Banshees in the announcement trailer (which I suppose could be explained by operational speeds differing in cruise and close air support modes), what exactly is the maximum forward airspeed of the Covenant Banshee?

That Will end up in the Winning team hiding out there and them wining the game. You gotta think a little bit. I know i would sometimes. Or do it fo rthe heck of it.

the ranks we have in beta will all feature in the full release? also the way they work will be the same too?

one last thing the 'veto' button is there any chance that this wont make it in the final release. its very irritating people press it just for the hell of it.

nice work so far btw!!


The Veto button IS a new feature, and highly doubt will be removed....Some people do it cause they THINK they will get a better gametype then the current one....Its not like 1 veto is going to change it....Its a majority...Deal with it, thas why you can only do it once...

One thing that I don't really understand is why you can rotate the camera around your dead body when watching a saved film. I know thats not what I did when I'm dead when I played the game on the film. I just thought it was weird that you can rotate the camera around when you're dead in a film, but not when you're alive. And whatever happened to having a longer respawn after being slain by The Guardians?

If you havent Noticed your foward momentum (while walking foward) helps out when throwing a grenade...walk backwards then throw one and you will see a difference...Its all about the physics, Each grenade weighs differently, therefore is thrown differently, which is why the heavy spike grenade isnt thrown much farther either

Sure this has been asked already but I want to make sure:
How much effect will equipment have on the final outcome of an objective game? I mean, do you find them more a tool to win individual skirmishes or to win whole games?

And will players be able to glitch and get out of maps in custom games, but only in ways that can't be exploited in competitive games?

First i would like 2 say that i like the game types. But i would also like to say that i am not all that pleased with the way the weapons are. I don't think that everything needs to be balanced becuase then it adds 2 the challenge if someone has a power weapon and ur trying 2 take them out. I also think that the time between shots with the sniper should be reduced.

Will the weapons that are currently in the Beta still be the same when the game is released on September 25th? Will the pistol be a three shot kill like in Halo CE? Will there be remakes of the most popular maps such as Lockout and Midship from Halo 2? Will Bungie adhere to many competitive gaming voices and change the starting weapon to a Battle Rifle or Carbine? How customizable will custom games be? Will there be a map editor/creator like rumors suggest? Will the King of the Hill "hill marker wall" get changed in the actual game. Many complaints have come up about how large the wall is and how hard it is to see out of it. Thanks!

If u lend someone ur crackdown disc, and they give it back, can u still play the beta? Also, how come if u lag out of a game, it counts as if u quit an du lose ur ranking?

Thats like saying you should be able to rotate your camera while being alive in the Real Game....When you DIE in the real game you can move your camera, as you can when your dead in the film....Its to help you watch it over and be like...."oh so thats where he killed me from....and there were TWO of them" interesting...........

I noticed that too, but obviously it doesn't matter because we'll always have camera control when the full version comes out.

On a related note, will voice chatter be recorded in saved films in the final version?

Where are the mother fing tanks?

I second that question of where is the sword? Awesome beta so far. I've been playing it hardcore 10 hours straight a day with my friend blasting death metal music drinking beer.

In the full version of HALO 3, will you be able to email the videos you make in game? So that you can save them to say your laptop computer and make a montage using Final Cut Pro, or Avid Xpress Pro?

I have noticed that they skipped around 10 ranks, going from Gunnery Sergeant to an officer is not how it works, many of them arent real military ranks anyway; such as: Apprentice, Corporal grade 2 and 3 ect..
