Well, some of those strings are probably old or for cut content, so don't expect too much from them.

I'm not expecting anything really, its just interesting to see what might be there come final. Besides, half of the strings include the words "Halo 3 Beta".Quote:

I've only played a few games and it's pretty fun, but it may as well be Call of Duty: Future Warfare 1.
Strange Elite death I encountered earlier today (also my first youtube video!):
OKay, this is actually a Halo 3 clip, but I'm new to youtube and film clip rendering so look at it anyway! It's a Hail to the King + Killtacular with only assault rifle melees.
I didnt play it. I heard it sucks. And from the amount of times my brother has thrown his controller while playing confirms my suspicious suspicions.
As usual once the pro fags infested it and exploit the games bugs and weaknesses the fun stops. Especially in Invasion slayer. I hate that gametype so much, it's filled with nothing but people crying for the BR back and saying the DRM sucks.
Oh and the occasional tool complaining that the Magnum is too powerful.
You all must be playing a different game. The beta's awesome. It's got bugs and balance issues and needs tweaks, but it will be super awesome once it finally releases.
Yeah, I haven't heard anyone in any games whine about the BR. I think most people just don't know how to adapt to new things. Which is fine. Makes them easy cannon fodder. l2evolve. Combat evolve :downs:
It's no easy task keeping a grasp on firey balls :snafubar:Quote:

I also don't see what the problem was with Invasion, other than Boneyard being HUGE. (which I actually enjoy). I hated how all the other Halo games had one-size-fits-all gametypes and I enjoy how they're sorta doing away with that.
yay a like minded personQuote:

Too bad stats will reset, since I just had such a sweet match of Oddball. 39 kills, 13 deaths, +26 spread, domination medal-wise, and I still come in 3rd. Why does this game have to go away?!
1 more day left.
The Beta ends on Thursday, May 20th at 10:00am PST.
The final twenty-four hours of the Halo: Reach Beta are now underway. We hope you've been having a blast. The data you've helped us collect will ensure that Halo: Reach's multiplayer experience is the best it can be when it launches in the fall.
We should note that after the Beta officially ends, our test team is planning on jumping into the live environment to simulate a host of horrible conditions in order to better prepare themselves for the retail launch. They'll be unceremoniously pulling plugs, pouring coffee into server banks, and pressing buttons that are clearly marked, "Do Not Press." If you're still playing the Beta after 10:00am tomorrow, you should expect to witness some strange and suspect stuff going down.
Stuff like:
Unpredictable gameplay behavior!
Long and unsuccessful Matchmaking times!
Unceremonious disconnects from the Beta!
Arteen, if you want to keep your stats...

Reach beta is now officially over.
Who's still ingame?
I am.
Found a few interesting images on Bungie.net :

Shouldn't Reach have its own section since it isn't apart of Halo 3, or ODST. It is its own game.
There's not going to be enough discussion about Reach to justify a new section, I'd think. This section might as well be called Halo General Discussion.
We've actually got something pretty much exactly along those lines planned in the near (as soon as HCE and the Release sections get tagged) future.
Halo Reach is fun, but the gameplay is very slow outside of close quarters. You never have a pure 1 vs 1 matchup with another player, rarely do I feel that I outplayed someone. It just takes way to long to kill people in Reach which results in tedious encounters.
I actually prefer the long stalking sessions. I think there is too much emphasis on close-quarters firefights, which is also forced upon players because the melee A.) is super powerful and B.) has a lunge to it making it easy.
I'd probably say Halo 2 and 3 had more close-quarters fighting going on, since the BR could be sprayed close-range and still be decently effective. Halo 2 had a huge lunge, too.. just my opinion though

LOL, I said the battle rifle is a power weapon all round on bungie.net forums and this kid sent me the funniest message ever.
This kid think he is a funny guy! And also his little message in his profile says take out ars.Quote:

I love idiots on the Bungie.net forums. :downs:
I know, he hasn't responded back to my message I sent him back since its so easy to burn those kids. Cause after I sent him the first message I thought to send him a second one so I prnt screened my stats on where my br is and my ar is so told him I wonder where my br kills stand at and my ar kills.
I should get more b.net kids mad.
cool story bro
Eh? Halo 3 is great. Halo 2 is terrible.Quote:

Um what. What you see in the beta is very few. They have a ton more options when the final game comes out (talking about spartans, dunno on elites).Quote:

Since the spartan/elite mp system is not the same as in 1/2 and you can't choose to play as one, I'm not surprised.

I personally think bungie just needs one massive purge of the forums, it's all fine and well having a community website but when it's filled with high pitched MLG PRO XxX ITZ 1ONESn1P3 faggots, one has to wonder what useful information bungie obtains from it
none...the answer is noneQuote:

I didn't expect the kid to send me back a message but he did and guess what he called me
Even thou he has no record of any halo 3 games, so I just put umad, blah blah blah and how cute.Quote:

I swear if they make Halo Reach to wear MLG people can fap all over like they did with h3 bleh.
yeah honestly, the amount of "profag" bullshit that went on with halo 3 was disgusting. i cannot play that game anymore because of it
its inevitably going to happen to reach too im sure.
please. At least Halo 2 had style, and good maps. Halo 3 was a game made by BR robots, for BR robots.Quote:

No, since H3 had its fair share of bullshit as well, most of it being encouraged by the game itself. At least some of the more aggravating things in H2 at least had some redeeming qualities in one way or another. Ever played Infection in H2? Played it in H3 as well? Yeah, H3 Infection just sucks due to the weak-ass sword and even weaker shotgun, as well as the inclusion of other bullshit weapons (heh, h3 magnum, what a joke).Quote:

What you view as a glitch or bug will just be someone else's power trip. It works in their advantage so they like it, it makes the game experience shitty for you so you associate the game badly. Games will always have bugs. That's why they have autoupdates, to fix such things.
And can we drop the MLG-is-full-of-fucking-morons? Why must we repeat something that has already been proven fact?
This thread is about Reach. Let's talk about Reach. Yes, it will be different from the other Halo games. Bungie won't make a carbon copy of a previous game. Deal with it. Cry a river, build a bridge and get over it. Leave remakes up to modding teams.
Has anybody else seen videos of the Mongoose? What do you think of it's new design? I like how it looks like an actual ATV now, nut I think I'm going to miss the Halo 3 design.
Sorry if this has been posted before, though I don't believe it has been.

So, for picking up Halo: Reach on Day 1 I'll get that... Well, it's the thought that counts I guess. I just wish they would be done with Recon.Quote:

I love how the article implies amazement at the size of halo reach's beta. Thats the whole reason they sold ODST, so they could capitalize on reach's beta and test out their firefight gametype.
Plus part of their agreement with Microsoft on the split was Microsoft had rights to publish their next 2 games.Quote:

Yep. They made a female spartan model base. It's like a very skinny male spartan but with a few different things, and no the chest isn't different :>Quote:

Note how it's a WIP.
Acutely I hope you know the arms have different models for left and right, I got another screenshot that's just a normal female spartan model by default but it refuses to upload.
Please refrain from speaking unless you know what you are talking about. The chest models are different. Proof posted below, since you don't have the knowledge to extract the models yourself.Quote:

Sir I am sorry, I don't even have the video that had the spartan girl model. I just got it off b.net. Woop thanks for showing some differences since I don't have the video (in a good way).

Base movement speed and jump height were areas that many players were very vocal about. While the design intent is for the Spartan IIIs to move a bit slower and jump a bit lower than the Spartan IIs of Halo 3, the team has been testing some minor tweaks in response to beta feedback.
Quote:
In some cases he could get off upwards of twelve mini usages of Armor Lock before being fully depleted and in each case his attacker would lose their shields and get pummeled in return. This wasn't the design intention for the ability and it's been tweaked a bit now so it uses more energy per burst and someone who hits a locked opponent will no longer have their shields removed.
Quote:
Active Camo also received a minor adjustment based on beta feedback. It was never the intent for the ability to scramble the shields of your friendly teammates while activated – it's only supposed to affect the player using it and nearby enemies.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1092622p1.htmlQuote:
For example, based on feedback and data from the beta, the flag positions for Powerhouse and Swordbase have been relocated, allowing a much better flow and capture opportunity for the attackers.
Awesome.
Looks like there was a ARG, but no one really noticed it.

The only thing I can say with certainty is that this is not related to Bungie or Bungie's projects, past, present or future.
That post was from early last year; it had nothing to do with Reach.
I mean, as far as the female biped goes, its metal plating on top of a form fitting rubber(?) suit, so of course its gonna show the curves, and a woman does have a smaller waist, bigger ass, and chest than a male.
Excellent. These changes are good news, very good news.Quote:

Damn fucking straight. It better stay that way.Quote:
Brian Jarrard: Of the "new" weapons, the Magnum registered the most kills overall with nearly 143 million total kills. Initially though it wasn't being taken advantage of as expected – I think a lot of players initially dismissed it as semi-useless based on their recollection of the Halo 3 pistol. However, as the beta progressed and players started to get familiar with the new gameplay nuances, people began to witness the power of the fully operational Magnum. When used properly it's vicious.
Except it's a major issue when someone can AL right when you melee. You get emped and pummeled when you did nothing wrong.Quote:

The first Halo had staying bullet holes on the walls and bullet casings on the ground lingered for about five seconds. Halo 1 also had copious amounts of blood from dead players. Halo 2 through Halo: Reach have no bullet holes that I can remember and the casings disappear almost as fast as they exit your gun; they also have very little to no blood that I can recall. I would like to see the Halo 1 system return. Not caring so much about bullet holes/blood splatters on characters and vehicles, but it would be a nice touch.
Halo 2 had plenty of blood, not so much on the casings and bullet holes though.Quote:

bullet hole linger time is due to the amount of bullet holes being made at the time. There is a limit, right? The older ones start to disappear when the newer ones are being made.
yeah, they just decreased the amount of decals so they could add more features to halo 2 and 3 (but lets all agree H3 was a letdown)Quote:
