Subject: I Think we are Getting a Firefight Beta Tomorrow

We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can not bomb it to peace.

-Micheal Franti

Taken from the Update in the Bungie Blog:
Since you're so stinkin' awesome, we're planning on packing Bungie.net with a whole pile of great content for you to check out tomorrow. Maybe (just maybe) we'll have some brand-new screenshots of some stuff you've never seen, another puzzling way for you to win Recon, a battle-tested beta feature becoming publicly available, and some sonorous words to cast your way. You should definitely Stay Tuned.

I think this means we will be getting a firefight demo tomorrow. If not oh well, Bungie Day is still awesome. Just a theory based on the wording of the bolded words.

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

I think it will just be the render to video thing - firefight would be awesome though

i was thinking about it but im not sure. It would be awesome. But i think it will just be the render video clips thing.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

It's Render-to-Video. They've confirmed we're not getting a demo for ODST.

Maybe

No. You are incorrect. They said "battle-tested beta" The game is finished though, they said so themselves, and we've seen it in the final stages at E3. They wouldn't have a beta for something that's already finished. A beta is something that they're still testing, but Firefight is already complete.

Plus, they've already confirmed it's the Render-to-Video (or whatever it's called) beta they are testing in one of the Weekly Updates. Also, they said we will not be getting a beta for Firefight.

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

I wish they would, but it seems like kind of a large part of the game to give us so early. But now you got my hopes up kinda...

i call shenanigans..........

I wish I was still legendary.

That's render-to-video.

With any luck, we might get some screenshots of reach (unlikely, IMO), a new ARG starting for reach (also unlikely), or just screens of some other firefight maps and stuff.

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

i think in the last weekly update they said render to video is coming out of beta tomorrow so 99% chances that it is that. haha but it be nice if it was firefight :)

Beta is not the same as demo

  • 07.06.2009 11:03 PM PDT

That'd be sweetness. I wonder how they'd implement it though?

  • 07.06.2009 11:08 PM PDT

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Why would they release a beta for a game that's already finished?

No.

Screw the beta, what about the screenshots of something we've never seen?

  • 07.07.2009 12:10 AM PDT

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It's an analogy when they say "battle tested".

I would lay my money on previews of one (or more) of the last three mythic maps.

Ya they'd rather we blow $60 on a crappy game than give us a demo or beta to test it

Anyway i want to see the legendary maps free/ Pleas?

"Youre the noob im the froob!"
That was my signature since WAY back, since 2009ish. Never gonna change it.

Read the previous update im pretty sure its render to render.

You're probably right.
