I think most people on here were. OT: I was, Beta > Final game. Dat Generator Defense.

The Beta was terrible, but that was mostly because the Mute Ban was broken as hell and was even more abusable in the Beta than it was in the final game.

  • 12.21.2012 12:21 PM PDT

The beta was the best halo game yet.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

The only thing I liked from it was that in invasion each 2-man squad had a slightly different color than the other squads. I don't know why they went with the whole red vs blue thing. The should have kept it the way it was in the beta.

You can still play generator defense in firefight. Except it is going to be 2vs2 instead of 3vs3 and you have some covies on your side.

I was. The beta was k. Dem handnukes. At least there wasn't anything as broken as the tripmine in the H3 beta.

It was an interesting beta, but Halo 3's beta was so much more fun to participate in.

Especially when people found out how to goof around in custom games.

The beta was actually better than the retail...

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

The beta was amazing, aside from the paper vehicles. I had a crap load of fun playing it. The end game was a disappointment since they didn't fix most beta issues.

  • 12.21.2012 12:31 PM PDT

Breaking barriers.

I couldn't stand the Beta. That was just awful. I was somehow too optimistic and bought the game anyway and proceeded to play it for a year afterward before deciding i just couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Memories I'd rather not have.

It had to do with how in the final game, you switched teams between rounds.

  • 12.21.2012 12:34 PM PDT

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I did, and grenades on Beta were horrible.

It's just not the same, Generator Defense was awesome when it was just 3 players vs. 3 players. The Covies are just an annoyance.

Dat Generator Defense.
Out of all the times I played it, I only had one game where there wasn't massive input lag.

Yes I was one of them. I loved the beta, and I loved the game!

Fixed. No thought was required for me. It's an awesome game.

The grenades in Reach followed you. And yes, I've actually tested that.


I -blam!- knew it!

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I made a Halo 3 booster account named "DA BETA BLEW."

Yeah, I tested the damn thing.

That's because they used the Firefight pairing for it, it was a network test. On a Multiplayer server it would've been amazing.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Hello.

Deal with it.

I loved it, first time I played a Halo beta. Felt really awesome.

I only wished they had done the same with Halo 4.
