Comments on: Halo 3 Public Beta http://www.unscripted360.com/2006/11/21/halo-3-public-beta/ - an Xbox 360 Community Show Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:30:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Unscripted 360 » Halo 3 Public Beta - Sign up http://www.unscripted360.com/2006/11/21/halo-3-public-beta/#comment-10489 Unscripted 360 » Halo 3 Public Beta - Sign up Mon, 04 Dec 2006 13:59:37 +0000 http://www.unscripted360.com/2006/11/21/halo-3-public-beta/#comment-10489 [...] Today marks the day that gamers in North America can register for a chance to participate in the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta being released exclusively for the Xbox 360 this coming spring 2007.  Did you say chance?  Well don’t you remember me eluding to the fact that you’d have to be selected in order to play?  You have to pay more attention the next time.  Bungie has already stated there would be several chances for those stateside and abroad to enjoy the beta, but I suggest you plan ahead now to not be so disappointed if you don’t get the chance to play.

One I can think of is with Mac OS X's pre-10.0 build, which was available for a fee for programmers, developers, and users. With any luck, H3 will be available for everyone. If not, I predict the new H2 maps will bump GOW out of the top spot and return H2 to domination XBL again.

Mostly autoaimers and standbys though. I forgot the names of the maps but there was one where we kept reswawning in front of a stationary gun and getting blown to bits.

Maybe it was too hard to control and cheat the game when there were so many people involved. I remembered two instances actually, once was Team Snipers, once was BTB. On Relic in Snipers, it was 4 on 4 and the other team was modding, and each time me and my teammates would spawn, it would be from way up in the sky, and then as we fell, this one guy on their team would snipe us in the had from 50 stories below. After about a minute of this, I was able to pull off a headshot on him as I fell, but we still lost by like 50-1. The other time I encountered modding was on Turf, and the modders ended up on my team. Somehow they had Scarabs all over them place, and I was able to fly I think. I remember jumping around on the rooftops and jumping on top of all the Scarabs that were all over the city, it was awesome. The Warthog could fly too, I was in the passenger seat.

Thats a good bonus. As for standby'ers and modders...back when I played Halo2 it was at least once every 3rd game I'd see a cheater.

I only experienced being modded once, so I'm not too up to date on that kind of stuff. The Xbox 360-only Halo 2 maps are a good idea, since they won’t be hackable or whatever.
