A beta is a full version of the game that isn't the release version. It's the version where all code testing, compiling, alpha testing, and the like have already been completed and are being tested for bugs. It would completely negate the purpose of beta testing were the game not fully complete already, because then if huge content was added then you'd just have to retest the game with that content as well. Halo 3 right now seems more like the alpha phase from what you guys are saying about what is still missing. It seems like the engine is there, and it's a compiled version with a few maps, weapons, and vehicles.
I'm sure they have a larger version with a rough single player campaign already worked up and all sorts of maps that they will definitely test separtely from this publicity stunt.
A Halo modding community has accidentally made various hidden game files public, found by retrieving hidden data in the Halo 3 Beta code. They reveal new weapons, vehicles and equipment and also suggest new modes and rankings for the full single and multiplayer game.
Before we go any further, a warning: the following are in no way official or confirmed features of Halo 3, but they do appear in the Halo 3 Beta code in some form too complicated for us to comprehend or explain. We're just the messenger.
New equipment:
Instacover
Smoke (suggested this might be a smoke grenade?)
Jammer
New vehicles:
Chopper
Pelican
Shadow
New weapons:
Flamethrower
Claymore Grenade
New mode:
Infection (described as "Destroy the Flood or become infected. Score points for killing flood or big points for infecting a human. The player with the most points wins."
New rankings:
The highest rankings are now Killpocalypse and Killionaire, instead of Double Kill and Triple Kill.
A reference to a map editor has also been found, a returning feature from Halo 2.
The information has since been removed from the forum in question.
True dat sniga! That was fun playing last night, good stuff. I heard you say you had a train early this morning though, does that mean you are out of town and not going to be able to get on Halo the rest of the week?

I work in the city a few days out of the week, but i should be able to get on most nights. I cant get on tonight but ill be on tomorrow
Alright, gotcha. I'm getting on tonight as well. Petey has gotten pretty damn good, BTW, and we did decent last night, especially when I wasn't shitting the bed.
well i dont know if this was posted yet but you can make custom games on the beta now and u can use the sword and magnum the sword has a percent to it now when u kill someone it goes down 10% the magnum has no scope has a slow fire rate but u can kill someone in 5 shots but the way they made it for custom games u can make it to where u can run 400% faster and turn the gravity down it is really nice for like made up games but i guess they are adding there own kind of zombies game to custom games for us where someone one is a flood and all they have to do is touch someone or something like that its just what i have heard
Isn't it hard typing without punctuation or capitalizing letters? I mean, it should be like basic stuff by this point in your life. Almost like hitting the space bar.
Why don't you dickbutts call me or IM me when you are logging on so I can get on? Jesus, how many babies do I have to eat to get some respect around here!?
I cannot be on XBOX live and AIM at the same time. I have only one comnnection in my room and it would take me awhile to get another. Just know that I basically get on every night (weekends is 50-50) and play for an hour or two. Just get on,
Linear Mode
