And the aim is much more sensitive at level 3 than on halo2.
Ahh, i remember when my xbox 1 was still alive. Good times in halo2 with xlink kai and owning everybody. I hope my old clan gets halo3 soon.. Then i can join up again.
I suck though, since it's many months since i played halo2.
Bungie ruined Halo 2 matchmaking with the last update so I may never play it again.
From the most highly anticipated game of 2007. they don't have to be the greatest. but at least on par with whats currently out.Zitat:

they are far from awful. but the way people kept boasting about it. i expected better.
yeah i'm sure they can make it jaw dropping between now and the day they start mass production. [/sarcasm]Zitat:
This is a BETA. I'm sure the graphics will get polished. For the beta I'm sure they were more focused on the actual gameplay, not the graphics.
i enjoyed the beta (and i'm not a halo fan) gameplay wise it's good.
I never used xbox live for halo2.Zitat:

I'm not saying they are going to make the graphics the best in the world, but I'm sure they will still make some improvements on the visual side.Zitat:

How did they ruin it? Resetting the levels..or..?Zitat:

I'm not buying the new maps, so I won't be able to find out until July(I think that's what was announced) when they become available for free.
The beat is fun. I will most likely get the game.
It was too over-hyped.
They made Big Team and Rumble Team unranked.
Only thing I played was big team.
I tried to play a couple of matches of unranked big team but in both games over 10 people quit within the first 3 minutes.
I finally got to play it, it was cool but I wasn't blown away. (But I'm not a very big fan of the series.)
I think I killed three people with one of those big laser blasts though, so that was cool. I also used that stationary gun on High Ground in a king of the hill-ish match (not sure what it was called) when the capture point was right below it and crushed every one going for it.
Whoa, since when is there big team battle in the beta?
This is way different than Halo 2.
First off the BR isn't unstoppable against closer combat weapons, like the smg.
The sniper has more of a time duration in between shots.
The plasma pistol doesn't have no lock on crap(which made the combo way too powerful in halo 2)
The starting weapon actually has some range and doesn't suck.
The maps are designed much more different than halo 2. It gives much more flexibility.
No auto aim which I love because nobody really gets cheap head shots with the sniper and BR anymore.
The nades don't have as great as throwing distance, but they seem to be more effective somehow, haven't quite put my finger on it yet.
Not to mention all of the equipment you can pick up.
Dual wielding is actually a threat to someone now.
And there are a lot of other little things I won't go into here.
The main thing I see is that the game is much more balanced and that it is superior to halo 2 in almost every way.
The only thing that annoys me is how you have to push up on the d-pad to talk, but I am glad that nobody is doing any bxrs, or bxbs or any of that crap. It makes it much more enjoyable for everybody.
Now after that long post does anybody want to play halo 3. I'll be on in a little bit, and will be playing team slayer which I am a 9. Just send me an invite and we'll play.
is it juts me or do you die a lot quicker than in halo 2, seems like the shield is weaker than halo 2
Opposite way around my friend. And one other thing I forgot to mention. It seems that it is slower paced, not by much but it is recognizable.
I thought that but even with that considered I still seem better at Halo 3 Beta than I ever was at Halo 2.Zitat:

@psp11: What's bxr and bxb?
It is a button combination that allowed you to take advantage of the reload animation. You would press be to melee, then x to reload (but your clip is full so it resets itself to the regular position so you wouldn't have to go through the recovery time after you melee), then hit r to shoot them if you hit them in the head they are dead. Bxb is the same thing except with the melee two times, and your clip can't be full. It just take advantage of the game mechanics allowing for cheap kills.Zitat:

Does it remind you of the hammer of dawn? lolZitat:

Ya I havent played Halo 2 since Gears was released and I can tell Halo 3 is alot different than Halo 2. They really balanced the weapons more which is cool. I just hope they allow us to transfer our films we record to our pcs my friends already know I own at Halo I want the world to know...Zitat:
Zitat von psp11
Ya, and it would make it much easier for people that like to make montages and stuff like that. They don't have to go out and buy a video capture card.Zitat:

Ah ok thanks.Zitat:
Zitat von psp11
I guess that doesn't work because X is now use equipment.
Yeah, but it's a good thing to me...Zitat:

That's one thing I hated about Halo 2... I'm sneaky, but my Aim isn't the best, so everytime I'd sneak up on someone, they'd still kill me because it's took forever to take down someone's sheild. Now, It's no problem :D
This beta is kind of like Perfect Dark Zero without good graphics, environments, and weapons.
spartan lazer is good but the spider needs more power
The spider?
spiker :)
my bad
You do know how the spiker works right?
The spikes it shoots out are the things that hurt you.
Not a explosion.
I think it's more difficult to kill someone in halo3 than halo2 :/Zitat:
Zitat von DFS
But i haven't played halo2 for many months now.
yeah I know what the spiker does, I think its damage needs to be increased, its weak
Yeah it is pretty weak.
Sometimes it can take someones shield off other times it does like nothing.
Tips:
Restart the Halo 3 Beta if you're having problems waiting forever in the lobby to start the matchmaking process.
Throw a grenade below a stationary turret to unlock it from it's base, and carry it around.
Power drainer doesn't throw very far, so i suggest running backwards after setting it.
More to come?
I like the beta, never played halo 2 for more than 2 minutes. Never was a fan of the series, but I like playing this alot. My senstivity is one 1. I wish it could be less.
The spiker dual weilded is lethal....
It doesnt need more power as I can rip people apart with it.
The spiker is a grenade. Im pretty sure you cant dual weild grenades lolZitat:
