LOved the beta

I liked the balance of the beta more...

The plasma launcher went from being an awesome weapon to a piece of crap that couldn't hit anything smaller than a ghost.

And elites felt powerful... like they were meant to (elites were intended to be faster/stronger than spartans but were supposed to be given tougher scenarios and such) but everyone whined about the spartans being to slow so they increased the speed

Also I liked that invasion in the beta was green/purple, I don't understand why they changed that...

Also the plasma repeater was awesome! But they nerfed it to extreme amounts...

I tried for weeks to get a code, because I couldn't afford to buy ODST or w/e you had to get it. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I heard people loved it.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

I played it, but not much because, I hated the maps that came with it before they added invasion. Sword base was bad back then and them removing and nerfing the plasma launcher to hell did help that map get better.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

The beta was super awesome. I loved it. Yeah.

I was a Halo Reach beta tester. Nice discussion value, OP.
"Yes" and "No" responses.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

I was, I got a kick out of how upset everyone was over the frag grenades. Whining about it "not being Halo" while totally ignoring how powerful they were in Halo CE.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I hope Destiny has a beta

I was, the beta was better than the final product and should be a lesson to developers to never listen to their retarded fanbases.

Lolwhat

I was a beta tester, proud to say it.

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

The beta was awful. Like in straight up objective terms. The framerate was bad, the headshot hitboxes weren't actually on the head, etc.

I don't understand the "fond memories" of the beta thing.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Beta was fun thanks to the exploits, but the game overall sucked.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Loved the beta, hated the game.

But the frag's power was balanced by a long fuse time, and that they only detonated when they were at perfectly at rest. And the player speed was faster in CE so you could avoid them easily.

It's because it was new and only available for a few weeks.

Yep, I entered using Halo 3: ODST. I don't know why but it felt a lot better than the actual game.

Halo 3 Beta >>>>>>> lolReach Beta.


Absolutely true. I remember trying to reach max level before the beta ended. Didn't happen

I was.
I missed the green and purple colors for Invasion. Stupid people complaining they weren't different enough. Who the hell can't tell the difference between an elite and spartan?!

That wasn't the reason why it was removed.

Doesn't change the existence of the ever-foolish "it's not Halo" complaints.

Who cares if it was or wasn't "Halo?" The grenades in Reach followed you. And yes, I've actually tested that.
