Halo 3 Beta


Evangelion

Recommended Posts

Naahaha. I signed up back in October and got accepted. I'd been playing the Beta with only 5000 other people for about 16 hours before the Crackdown thing started working.

BTW, Crackdown is a blast. It, even without the Beta, is worth $60.

Although the actual AMOUNT of content of the beta is disappointing (IE- no cinematic sequences, demo campaign play, etc.), the content that it DOES contain is not disappointing in the least.

New things include:

Splinter Rifle (I think that's what it's called), which is akin to the SMG.

Spartan Laser, a charged-up instant-death laser with scope.

Missile Pod, a non-renewable rocket launcher that decreases your movement speed but fires rapidly.

Spike Grenade, similar to plasma grenade.

Mongoose, human vehicle, has room for a driver and gunner on the back.

Trip mines, have sensors and explode when someone enters their proximity (be it friend or foe).

Bubble shield, creates a small, portable field that prevents explosions/bullets from getting in and out.

Power drainer, the opposite of the bubble shield, creates a small field that instantly drains the shield of anyone that enters.

Portable gravity lift, pretty self explanatory.

Detachable turrets, yes, that's right. Turrets can now be lifted off their bases, and carried around.

Old things that have been changed:

Magnum/pistol removed.

Assault rifle brought back.

Needler power boosted.

Grenade accuracy increase (namely, it actually goes where you throw it, not below where you throw it.
