When a game is put into Beta testing then thats exactly what its for TESTING . This dosn't mean to go prance along playing the game mindlessly not helping the cause.
You gamers need to be alert and ready to report any bug, or abnormalitys. This dosnt mean giving feedback on the amount of lag there is, cause lag is a universal problem. Betas are meant for player feedback so this means instead of waiting for the release, buying it, and then complaining about it!!... suggest it first before the final product is made.

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I feel it probably would have been better if you posted this when the BETA actually came out. Not months before. : )

Yes but heres the issue regarding most games today: Hype and Betas.
Most people just push these aside as nothing important, but they are the leading factor in the downfall for most games.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

WORD OF WARNING!!!:

Okay, lag sucks. If you get some lag in the Beta, don't spam the forums. Check your own setup first. If you consistantly get laggy games, THEN say something on Bnet. Describe the lag, and how it affects your gameplay. Also, tell us about your favourite band and your favourite flavour of ice cream.

Still, try to have fun this Spring. I know I will! :D

I'll be sure to not play the Beta that much. And when I do. I'll putz around running into a wall or something and then give really subjective feedback.

This is an incredible step forward to being able to cure Downss sybndonre mn humans bineg.s

Lag is also a universal problem that needs to be addressed in testing. Developers need to know how all different kinds of internet connections will respond to and cope with the network architecture of their game.

The beta is mostly to test the matchmaking system. Not the game itself, although of course be on the lookout for bugs and the like, but dont expect many.

It's for several things. Beta's are usually used to test the usability of a product, in the way that the customer would view and use the product, rather than just the developer.

Do we know that? I know Betas released to the public are often stated to be purely for bugs and connection quality, but don't doubt that if Bungie is taking the game in a different direction they're gonna have pens and paper ready for what the fans say about the gameplay itself.

I agree that of all the times people should enter the forums and rant about the quality of the game experience, it is during the Beta testing. But the majority of people will first experience a majority of Halo: Reach when they are playing the real deal, not the Beta.

Plus, be patient grasshoppa'. It's not even 2010 yet. Wait until the Beta is actually coming hard and fast. That's when people listen.

  • 11.14.2009 10:42 PM PDT

Beta's aren't fun?

Seriously, though, I'm glad Bungie is doing a beta and still looking to improve Matchmaking. This is one of the reasons why they're better than IW, who just knew that their game wouldn't need a beta.

MW2 is filled with terrible glitches, and the netcode isn't very solid.

At least I know Bungie still cares what the fanbase thinks, and that if we make a request, they'll listen.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

Well your post sounded a bit douchy. Really we understand what a BETA is and it is just as much about having fun as testing. The testing is for stress on their server est. We don't help with balance very much that is because the version of the BETA that we get it very close to complete.

In short WE play the BETA to have fun and offer suggestions to the developer on balance and game play. The developer aka Bungie has the BETA to test their Matchmaking, servers and promote awareness of the game so it may sell better..

i see you all over these forums just spewing out MW2 fanboyism, why are you even on bungie's website ?

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Uh, dude? The so-called "beta" we will be playing will be the nearly finished product. The idea of a public beta is community involvement. If Bungie left the real beta test up to us, there would be no point in having play testers.

Also you need to not take things so serious because you really sound like a douche. How is playing a video game not about having fun?
