Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

5 days :(

...

Anyways, awesome update as always.

Whoa, where did the beta go? Oh well. MAN. Transitioning back into Halo 3 is going to be awful. Great game Bungie, also REALLY glad to see that headshot thing was a bug. Any chance the really slow moving and low jumping Spartan's are a bug too?

Then as it was, then again it will be. And though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea.

Awesome update. Nice to see these bugs being exterminated.

Speaking of bugs, my friend and I were playing Invasion and we were put on the Elite team. When we spawned he not only had an assault rifle but he also could sprint.

Hey Urk, could you talk a bit about the graphics next week and whether the graphics will improve or not? Not that I'm saying they suck or anything.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

I am ranked much higher than onyx, platinum, or even painite. I am Myrrh!

Games, friends, memories.

I just hit you guys up with an email of the CTF symbol glitch. I'm very glad I saved that film. It was very odd when it happened.

I've been enjoying the Beta so far, I'll have to give Generator Defense a try tonight. Really can't wait until we get our first little tidbits at the campaign.

  • 05.14.2010 4:22 PM PDT

Awe....only 5 days left. I'll be sure to send it out with a bang! Great update!

The graphics while playing Generator Defense are simply Amazing! the best in any Halo game by far. Everything! the landscape, the sky, the horizon, the water, the longsword dropping the crates at the beginning OMG Bungie!

I can barely imagine what campaign hold for us.

Hey

Sorry about the lack of punctuation in my comment the text box wouldnt let me post with any

Im loving the antiquit stuff you guys are doing I was just wondering if anything could be done about players who ghost their online time meaning no one is at the controller actually playing I dont know if there is an actual phrase to cover this behaviour I just guessed

I will admit I have come back to the console after getting myself a drink or something to find the game running but it hardly happens on purpose all the time or for any considerable length of the game Some people however habitually leave with the game running and you bump into them multiple times whilst playing I dont even know why people do it is it part of some sort of deranking scheme In any case I think something should be done

Perhaps at the end of each game there should be a Want to play again prompt, so they at least have to sit there and do nothing I dont know I leave that up to Bungie but I would love it if something could be done

Sorry about the lack of punctuation the text box wouldnt let me post with any

Good update urk. I still can't believe I too was rained down upon by the Longsword weapon drop...

You bother me urk. You give us a good update, tell us that we kicked butt and such, then you go and call us suckers. Don't play with my emotions, please. :(

  • 05.14.2010 4:41 PM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

lol at the bugs.

If you've been busy uploading Film Clips and snapping off screenshots, make sure you take a few minutes to save everything you may want to keep to your local hard drive. Just as we'll need to wipe your stats soon after the Beta comes to a close, we'll also be doing some housekeeping on the multimedia front. Make sure you act in accordance. Right Click, Save As.

In regards to purging all said Beta multimedia, does this translate to files in our File Share being at risk of eternal deletion (obviously as well as saved films and screens)? Or could we possibly edit/play saved multimedia in the retail?

So there is no conditions for counting a quit as a legitimate quit or just another player being dumd?

Bad.

Is there a reason to stay in games where in some odd case, you get matched up with 3 split screen players. They have something important to do so they all quit very early. You either:

A. Stay in the game, be murdered and have no fun.
B. Leave the game, have another tally to your "quit" total.

Even if this is one quit, this means you have one less quit to use for a legitimate purpose, or one less quit when you are feeling a but jerky.

also, is this a static X number of quits over a period of time, or is it X quit percentage? If it's the former? That is obviously hindering true Halo fans more than casual gamers that could quit every time they play a match, only so often.

Bad.

Of course, theses are based on if and I don't really know what's going on.

Urk, is Generator Defense stressful because you run it on the campaign engine? ^_^ The films say "Overlook on Easy"

  • 05.14.2010 5:11 PM PDT

Tasty.
