Subject: Was there a Halo 3 beta?

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

All games go through the same or similar release cycle. Wherever the beta is public or not is up to the developer.

Software release cycle.

Yes I believe the Halo 3 beta went somewhere between May 16th 2006 and June 24th 2006. Through purchasing Crackdown and down loading the Halo 3 Beta from the Crackdown menu, or having been invited by the friends something or other from Bungie. There were connections and down loading issues with the Halo 3 Beta so I believe they increased the run time of the beta by 2 or 3 weeks it was supposed to be a month. A way for Bungie to get rid of bugs in Multyplayer. The BR, Shotgun, Rockets, and Sniper did more damage in the beta. I am pretty sure the carbine shot faster and Frag grenades did more damage. Two people couldn't beat each other down either, it was who ever landed the most damage and beat down first. The maps were Valhalla, High Ground and Snowbound. They later took out the Camo in Snowbound replaced with the over shield and the big shield doors on the bases were removed, they changed the name to Boundless after they released the final game.

Halo 4 did have a beta but it must have been poorly tested since it had a -blam!- load of bugs on release.



The information came from my own knowledge. I only added an image so you would understand. All games have a beta stage of some sort. Don't believe me? Google "Development release cycle".

yes most games do but i truly believe halo 4 had NO beta, it's way to -blam!- up to have had a beta

It did but the testers probably had little time to fix the bugs due to deadlines.

Absolutely. Halo 3 beta was my first public beta. Entering the beta took place in February 2007. Most people got their beta invites through Crackdown. The last date of the beta was June 10th, 2007.

More information here.

I feel this way too. I suppose it must have had some testing, but the testers were clearly thumbless chimpanzees or something, because there are WAY too many problems.
