Halo 3's Beta was pretty interesting. I remember spending hours on it but there was only matchmaking and the new theater feature, and Forge was about to be introduced. Really exciting back in 2007.

The tripmine was pretty awesome but your spartan didn't have animation when throwing an equipment piece so that made the throw faster, the Bubble shield from the alpha version was movable such as the Radar Jammer. But of course the final game was better with forge Custom Games and it's still my top 360 game.

I loved the Magnetic Trip Mines.

Blowing up a Banshee or Warthog with a Magnetic Trip Mine was so cool.

Between Beta's Multiplayer and the final version there wasn't a lot of difference, the gameplay style changed a little bit but it was all. Better graphics and animations at the end. Pretty much the same, and it will be what I suppose will happen to Halo Reach.

Join SIP today! We smell good. Promise.


It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

I remember Halo 3 being more exciting, just because they introduced more new stuff.
The Reach beta did bring the new AA's but i had seen so much of them in the Weekly Updates and whatnot, that it felt like they werent new.

As for whether the Beta or the final game was better, hands down the final game was the best. So much more content to explore.
