The audio in the Beta is awesome. I love playing Valhalla just for that reason. I like that you can tell whether or not someone has a sniper rifle or machine gun just by the sound of it from the other side of the map. The sound in the Halo series in another reason why it stands apart from other games.

I've never been so excited to hear a door creak as I was a few moments ago.

I kinda sounds like Zanzibar in H2, when you grenade the "windmill" to get to the sword...but more detailed! I love it!

lol I played the sound file and I had my speakers all the way up! Didn't expect a door to knock me of my chair!!!

Have you guys noticed that in the Beta, you can't listen to our own music? I don't know if this has been discussed before. If it has then I am sorry, but will we be able to play our music during the game? Especially in multiplayer?

How big is the door? I was expecting the door to be like 30' x 20' but the sound makes it seem like it was just a normal sized door, is it?

The sound on the beta is AWESOME!
Halo 3 is going to blow everything else away!

I hope that Fox and Universal come crawling back with their tails between their legs after Halo 3 Blows everybody's mind and they finally get on board with the Halo Movie.

"a skull with 'Email or Die' written underneath it." That is so going on my door when im buisy with school.
The sound was really neat by the way. The audio department is the unsung hero of video games.

Yes , i agree, but as for the sounds in the Beta for the most part i like , but i do not like the pump action sound of the shotgun , iam sorry it just doesnt sound very good to me. but i do like the smg , that sounds so much better , and the sniper for a distance , that just sounds bad ass, and is it just me or does the rocket launcher sound like its rusted or something like that its a lot more loader reloading

after all that content, which was awesome by the way, i was a litlte disappointed in the sound of the creaking door, haha. i was expecting a much longer wailing creek, not a thud. haha, but yeah, the beta sound is unbelievably good, i can't wait for the finished product.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

that door has a hearty groan sound to it, nice

I love the sound on the beta specially when you die on the river on valhalla (you hear like if you were under the water!)

and the sound they put in the end of the story is the HighGround front gate opening :D

That's really cool. Halo is finally coming alive. It finally is getting what Halo 2's multiplayer lacked, which sounded soo fake comared to Halo 3.

When, for the love of god, are we going to get another WATER UPDATE??? I die a little inside when we don't have an update on it.

Check out my Youtube page!: Msoares27

well, when i hit play on the audio file, someone signed onto instant messenger at that exact second and i heard the cheesiest door opening in the world, i thought it was a joke, turned out my computer needed to load at first and the sweet old door came in about 2 seconds later...if you do not have surround sound for h2, i suggest the upgrade for 3 it's well worth it. Anybody know if we'll get that menu music from the beta before the soundtrack comes out, not finish the fight, but the other one...

After you get past around level 35 why does the pace of the game change so much, people are always holding on to the power weapons and camping, I do it to but the game doesn't seem like halo sometimes!!

Great job so far thanx for the betazorz

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Being a voiceover and audio production hobbyist, I love these types of articles. I hope to end up one day opening doors over and over until I get my sound effect just perfect as well.

<3 for the sound team and Marty.
