Halo 3 Beta

[Poply 178]

halo 3 beta acceptance emails went out today and i got in =D

[ShadowScourge 61]

Nice... Tell us how it is. :)

[Poply 178]

it'll probably be at least a month before i get to play it. i'm waiting on the next email to come giving more information about the beta (possibly a date, and whether you download it or they send you a disc)

[ShadowScourge 61]

Aww, that's a pretty long time... I just hope nothing is too strong... (Pistols in Halo 1)

i'm really interested in what the "X" button does. they relocated reloading to the bumpers and they said the "X" button does something new which changes the way you play. other than that, i honestly can't see what will make this game any better than halo 2. im still hyped for it never the less.

[ShadowScourge 61]

What about talk and change grenades?

o.o... that's awkward...

[Poply 178]

unsure, but i do know the bumpers reload their corresponding gun (left bumper reloads left gun, right bumper reloads right gun. this is all assuming you are dual wielding).

[ShadowScourge 61]

That's stupid! :P

Waste of buttons...

[Poply 178]

i actually love it. i hated reloading and i get attacked and have nothing to attack back with because i'm busy reloading both my guns.

how do you play do you like dl the game from your xbox 360 or to your comp?

[Poply 178]

i don't know yet. they're supposed to send another email providing more information about the beta. hopefully it will give a date and whether it will be a download or disc. i imagine it would be a download though. the beta is obviously not going to need a pc to play (other than registering for the beta and possibly feedback).

[Senior Airman Vudoo. 40]

k thanx for replying

[ShadowScourge 61]

Download, most likely. They're not gonna waste money on disks when you can download...

Probably gonna take like half a day.

[Poply 178]

lol, nah, the beta probably wouldn't be more than 2 gigs. oblivion only took 4-5 gigs and its a huge game. i'm thinking download due to the fact that the 360 has a hard drive and it would be much easier way of getting it to people.

[ShadowScourge 61]

What about the retards who got core?

o.o You can download full games onto your 360? Or was it the oblivion demo?

[Poply 178]

one of the requirements for the halo3 beta is a hard drive.

the only full games you can dl onto your 360 are the arcade games. other than that you can download free demos from the market place.

[ShadowScourge 61]

Oh, i see. Dang, never knew that.

I NEED an Xbox360 now.
