H3 Beta Date and New ViDoc!

[TIA Gangsta]

Today, Bungie made an announcement which included the Halo 3 Beta release date and end date of May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT until June 6th at 11:59 PM PDT.

But that's not all. New ViDoc!

It's a ViDoc about Halo 3 multiplayer, which is basically the first ever CLEAR video of H3 multiplayer, and damn it's sparked my excitement of Halo 3 back again!
It could be useful to CMT also, since it contains lots of more views and information on weapons. They've also announced the Shield Bubble will be in Halo 3, and it shows it in the ViDoc being used.
NOTE: This is still ALPHA FOOTAGE, so don't get all pissed off if it doesn't look like what you want.

[Limited]

So beta starts May 16th? Damn I thought it was gnna be this month. When they announced it I thought it was gonna be pretty soon after =\

[Xehsin]

Awesome! I just read it on Bungie.net I can't wait, im streaming the video now. Too bad i couldn't go for the H3 Beta.

[JDMFSeanP]

Video = major pwn.

Land mines and shield grenades oh my.

[Pred1ator]

Finally! Awosme! Im Speechless!

[Masterz1337]

I can't stand the BR or Spiker anims. AR has grown on me though.

[Pred1ator]

yeah whoever di the br...really need to get fired but its still a beta

does this mean cmt has to update the ar for the campagin?

[Rob Oplawar]

Brilliant marketing, right there. Got me all excited all over again, and just in time. And they're going to keep releasing these vidocs at just the right times so that nobody can stop being excited. Damn those clever marketeers, but I WANT HALO 3 NOW.

[Limited]

I can't stand the BR or Spiker anims. AR has grown on me though.AR is way better yes.

I hate the BR, the little boxy bit near the end of screen is horrible.

[Stealth]

I bet the BR and Spiker anims will be changed a few times before release, just look at how many animes you've gone through before the releasing of CMT's MP map pack #1 Masterz, I for one can't draft something, look at it and let it be, I'll change a drawing 5 times before I set it down for good.

[TIA Gangsta]

AR is way better yes.

I hate the BR, the little boxy bit near the end of screen is horrible.

I know...
And wtf was up with that texture? It looked as bad as the ripped H2 BR tags in some CE maps.

I really hope that's a placeholder.

[JDMFSeanP]

What I got outa it, a post I made on B.net forums.



Halo 3 Multiplayer Vidoc Analysis, with pictures.

You might as well sit back and relax, because this read my take a little while, enjoy! All by me, please don’t take it and repost on other forums unless I am given credit.

The first thing this vidoc opens up on is a big city like map, something that I know I have been waiting for for a long time in the Halo saga. Below I made a quick image to show it in all its glory.

http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/7314/98615957uy0.jpg

This next point isn’t as important either, but that doesn’t make it less noticeable. The spacing of the needles firing up to the turret show that the needler will have a fairly to very slow ROF, meaning that impacts must do loads of damage, very nice. Also noticed is the deployable gravity lift the guy is using to boost up, a cool feature. Picture taken at :23 seconds.

http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/1476/30683085qi3.jpg


Ok first main point, at :24 there is a new gun that pops up, the minigun, removed from the warthog turret. I am not sure how people will obtain this, because having it spawn is kind of a cheap weapon, making you take it off the back of a warthog would be fair, but then noobs would steal it and make a useless warthog…that’s not fun.

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5264/69277473ty4.jpg

What would be cool though would be to have the warthog turret gun while on the back of the mongoose, which would be total win.

At :34 seconds something I will explain later pops up, but its worth noticing now as something that you do carry like a grenade.

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1205/10181834xg0.jpg

At :42 seconds, a new vehicle pops up. If you were into the Halo CE modding scene, then you would see this as very familiar. The Wasp is what I’m talking about, and this “hoverbike” looks almost identical to it. Finally a human counter for the banshee!

http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/9753/17941301pl2.jpg

This shot was taken at :53 and not only does it show us a good view of the spiker, but also of the HUD. This confirms basically that you can only carry two of each grenade. Another thing we can see in this screenshot is that of this build, the health bar won’t be returning, and only the shields will.

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/998/25411346ia2.jpg

At 1:08 its nothing momentus, but it is a good look at the new shield doors and how they will function.

http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/7092/48701065ib7.jpg

Then time goes by and nothing happens, but at 3:02 I saw something interesting. I don’t know if this is a death animation gone wrong or what, but this Spartan looks to be climbing the fence he jumped onto before he dies, can we finally climb!

http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/9273/49794460ww1.jpg

At this point we see a Spartan running to get a flag that is awesomely blowing in the wind, but we also see the remade large fusion cores, a cool little thing to protect the flag.

http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/2901/78126725lm0.jpg

At around 3:35 we get our first look at the man-cannon in action, which also confirms one thing from Halo 1 that is not coming back, fall damage. They are obviously at a height which would kill you in halo 1.

http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4103/10qu8.jpg

Ok now this part is pretty epic. Screenie is from 4:38. Not only does this mean we will obviously go back to another halo, as this bridge was seen in the control room levels of halo 1, but that we can have epic bridge wars!

http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/6886/11at2.jpg

At 4:43 I caught something on the screen. The triped gun seems to me like it would make an awesome portable turret, anyone with me on this one? That would certainly be cool in MP and SP with movable placable turrets that you would or could carry. Certainly seems right with all these other new movable things.

http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1975/12na7.jpg

Ok at 5:12 I saw something weird. Whatever this guy has on his back it doesn’t look familiar and it looks quite large, any ideas? Also you can see ejecting brass, which I remember someone complaining about how they liked to look at it roll on the ground in halo 1, maybe it will return in halo 3!

http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/7562/13vq9.jpg

IGN had a theory last time that the new needler was that old turret that the brute was holding since it wasn’t dual wieldable, but that’s obviously wrong…

http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/1549/14mg6.jpg
This next one is my first glimpse of the new BR, and all I really gotta say is ew, god that’s ugly. I really hope that changes because right now that’s hideous to me. But another thing I noticed is this guy had a different color HUD than before on the spiker guy, this one is green not blue, custom option?

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/7293/15jz5.jpg

Now something that had been really skeptical. The shield thingy is finally here, and actually in the game. To me it seems like this is the feature of the X button, drop mine or drop shield.

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/7611/16rc1.jpg

The next thing to be used with the x button, trip mines. These will really be a cool feature for things like guarding flags and such. You can see the trip mine in the HUD if you watch the vidoc right before he drops it, looks like a star under the grenades.

http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/4383/18mo0.jpg
http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/458/17cb0.jpg

The next part ties in with the minigun, when the warthog is blown up by the mine, the turret does separate from the hog and come off separate, looking pretty much like one piece. Your little reward for taken out a hog :P. The only problem with this is again, people blowing up your own hog just to get it.

http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/6240/19hh3.jpg

The next cool feature doesn’t really need any pictures, I’ll just explain it. It is the video playback feature of that you can watch every match that you play and change camera angles and stop time, this is really like a devcam for halo, awesome for montage footage hehe.

Few things in this next one. The top left screen is obviously the pistol from halo 1, without a doubt. Now the only thing left to wonder about is how they will balance it out. On the sword screen below it there is a definite bar where the ammo for other guns is usually kept, making the think that the sword in MP this time around will have limited energy.

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/8849/20pg9.jpg

This next screen I see some good some bad. The only bad is that the shield grenade is going through the floor, I hope that gets fixed. The good is the new call signs, and one awesome thing about the sniper. It can read elevation, distance away, and finally hell yeah, WIND. Your sniping shots will be affected greatly by the wind most likely, making sniping always different and requiring a TON of skill.

http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/5292/21zr6.jpg

Well this concludes what I see and my hopes and dreams for Halo 3. I’m expecting the power-ups will be a feature that you can turn on and off, as that would affect game play a lot, and MLG might not want that.

Thank you for reading, and please leave comments!

[Stealth]

What I got outa it, a post I made on B.net forums.
I'm going to post that over at TSL, that'll start alot of talking, TSL has been waiting for this, and talking about what'll happen when the crew gets Halo 3.
Oh, and I know something you guys don't that has to do with TSL, Red vs Blue, and Bungie... I'm not telling.

Remember guys, this is a beta. It's not supposed to be perfect yet :|

[Xehsin]

Remember guys, this is a beta. It's not supposed to be perfect yet :|

I agree, but its wonderful. I love the new types of grenades! This is gonna be an amazing game, i just think that they should spend 1 more year on this game. I want it to take longer and perfect the game, than to rush and kill it.

[Stealth]

now, I know it's a beta, but there is one big fat bug that I've seen in Halo 1, 2 and 3 that bugs the hell out of me! the bullets coming from the MC's eyes in 3rd person, it gets on my nervers, and I do know how to mod Halo 1 so that doesn't happen, and it's not that hard, you can do it in HEK.

[ImSpartacus]

have u guys seen the chain gun? holy shitsiccles batman!

[Hurrvish]

^ unchangeable

if moved, then the bullets wont hit their intended target

also:

it seems as if the spartan laser would have a zoom feature

Friends and families? Doubt it, why would TSL get it?

This isnt beta, this is ALPHA

Thats why alot of the animations are shit, like the nades, they just get spawned no animation ;)

some of the running animations they kinda glide I hope they are only place holders like you guys said.

TSL's crew and Red vs Blue's Crew are buds. and unlike Red vs. Blue which is over with ep. 100, TSL has just released episode 4 module 5, and they'll be moving onto Halo 3, they'll be moving to the next gen of Halo with every Halo xbox gamer that can move from Halo 2, to Halo 3. There is more to TSL then you guys think, never jubge a book by it's cover.:eng101:

This looks awesome for an alpha build. The only real problem I could see was the model of the BR, which looked like a box with a scope on it. Everything else, down to the sound, is sexy.

Remember, this is the alpha version.

The HUD looks curved. :awesome:

[DaneO'Roo]

I think the texture on the AR and BR are kinda low res looking :X Hopefully it's just low res'd down for the alpha or something. But dam, the texture on the bipeds is amazing, I can definately see alot of new graphical features applied to them, like for one, Indascendance.

[Spnkr]

I always liked Halo's medium paced Multiplayer, but the fights in the video just look like utter chaos :/ . Hope it doesn't turn into Quake 4, where you have to run around the map without stopping to survive.

[Xetsuei]

Alpha.

[Hotrod]

I don't think that the game being an Alpha would change how the game is played.

[Con]

The new footage here definitely helps with my Valhalla :)

Why not? They're still tweaking weapons and whatnot. I think a LOT can change between Alpha and final release...

[Pred1ator]

^agreed

[Hurrvish]

^
weapon damages are still being done, turret/ weapon placement still being tweaked, bsp might still be wips, etc

a lot can happen. youll never know

[Teroh]

The turret at 2:31 looks pretty cool to use.

[Stealth]

I don't think that the game being an Alpha would change how the game is played.
that is what you think, a ton of stuff can change between the time the video was made, and the release of Halo 3, you never know, maybe there'll be a new weapon or vehicle, take a look at CMT's work, watch some of the old beta videos, and see how far CMT's maps has come over the past few months.

The new footage here definitely helps with my Valhalla :)
heh, and maybe between now, and when you release your map, they'll release a new ViDoc on Valhalla.:-3

Why not? They're still tweaking weapons and whatnot. I think a LOT can change between Alpha and final release...
Agreed, maybe by the time they release Halo 3, there'll be bigger skins, and more Hi-res models.

^
weapon damages are still being done, turret/ weapon placement still being tweaked, bsp might still be wips, etc

And that is one thing I was pointing out in this post.

[DaneO'Roo]

^ hey Stealth, whyd you quote people saying stuff and then saying again what they allready said :/


+1 tbh

[Stealth]

I have no idea, I'm half asleep, and I mind is gone for the night.
Oh, and I think I meant models with higher ploy count, or something like that.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

Models with higher poly count =/= good.

[Stealth]

I'll take that as a good thing, and that shows how much, I know about modeling. >.> Turbo CAD doesn't show me Poly counts.

[Limited]

^ hey Stealth, whyd you quote people saying stuff and then saying again what they allready said :/


+1 tbh
Yeah I hate when people quote other people and say the same thing really annoys me.

Ha jk quote.

Although its alpha some things will be the same. Question is, how long ago was the videos filmed?

[Stealth]

ya, maybe a month or two ago, only bungie knows how long ago this video was made.

[Xetsuei]

Before all the alpha pics and videos were leaked.

[ThatCrazyFox]

I guess I'm just strange but I actually like the boxy look to the BR.

EDIT: I dunno if it's just me but I am a real stickler for realistic reload animations. After Halo 1s reloads it seemed to me that Halo 2 took a step back. I don't care if you had to pull back to bolt on the sniper to cycle in a fresh clip, it was realistic and sort of a small punishment for using up all your rounds. Besides if you needed to, you always had the melee glitch to make it quicker. Don't even get me started on the Halo 2 shotgun's.

Now in Halo 3 with the realistic-ness be back? There's no telling at the moment the only reload that I remember seeing in first-person was the AR but it still had one round left in the clip so there was no need to pull back the bolt.

Oh, you have no idea how much I smiled when I heard and saw that Spartan's bones breaking, cracking on the floor and landing in the water...:)

Oh, one thing I noticed is that they haven't got the "amazing" water physics Bungie has been talking about.

Now, let me tell you this. Bungie have been talking about their water physics and the way they're improving the look and physics of it in every update now. They've been editing and tweaking it for MONTHS now.
Look in the Vidoc, there's no water physics in there like Bungie have been tlaking about for ages now. Like it moving with the player and reacting to the environment (etc, etc).
Now if you see they've been tweaking it for months now, and this Alpha footage doesn't have any of the water physics, it just shows how old this footage really is.

And I have good reason to know that Bungie can do A LOT in a few months...

So you're not telling something that has already being told by Bungie themselves?

For those who are still wondering what it is: Friends and Family Program.

There's really no point in flailing "information" like that around if you're not going to tell us what it is.

[Rosco]

no, they're doing the same thing as Red vs Blue, but I'm still not telling.
and this is why I'm not telling, and I don't post about TSL very much, you guys hate them because you think that TSL is made up of people like me. >.>

I used to watch it a while back, but i lost interest after a while.

I don't see why you've told the forums they're doing something if you think we dont like TSL.

You're joking right?
The Xbox was the waste of space. The only games that were ever worth buying on the console were Halo 1 and 2, and the controller sucked ass.

Xbox 360 is almost as powerful as a PS3, yet it's nearly £200 cheaper. Not to mention that the £260 Premium Pack comes with all the useful extras like the headset and HD AV cable. Sure it has it's reason, like PS3 has blue-ray, but in the end, you want to buy a GAMES CONSOLE, and the 360 gives you that. Screw the extra shit trying to juice more cash out of you.

Then there's the games. As well has having many great games on the system, it also has many excelent exclusives. Halo, Gears of War, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, I can go on for a while...and they're still getting more.
This is Microsoft we're talking about here, they're throwing out as much cash as they like for the console, and they've got a pretty high budget. Last year they got the rights to having GTA4 launching on 360 at the same time as PS3 AND got exclusive content for it.
And now they're looking to get PS3 exclusives like MGS and Devil May Cry.

Then there's Xbox Live...well sure you have to pay, but once you've used it for a good month or so, you'll see that paying £40 a year isn't that much.

Xbox 360 is the one console that isn't a waste of cash...

I just wish I could -rep you more...

[DaneO'Roo]

no, that's not it, and no bungie hasn't released any thing about it, only the Crew of Red vs Blue, and the TSL crew, Admins (some of the crew), and the mods (I love being a mod).


Sorry, Stealth, but I realy fail to see how you could be a good moderator.

Don't even mention TSL and RvB in the same sentence, TSL is like a crappy cover band. RvB did it first, and they're trying to do it too, but they're not even making an admirable effort. I mean, family guy is in ways ripping off the cartoon family the simpsons have done, but at least they do it well, and bring something new to the plate. I've seen all the eps of TSL, and it never made me laugh once. But hey, maybe after seeing RvB I have high standards.

Uh...no. The were plenty of games worth buying for the Xbox (Unreal Championship 2, Chronicles of Riddick, Ninja Gaiden, etc). And the controller was great, it was much better than the PS2's.

Also, Devil May Cry is not a PS3 exclusive, it's going to be released for the 360 and PC as well.

[Rosco]

Halo 2 was not worth buying, to be honest.

why? it looks better than the XBOX version, it has Pixel Shader 3.0 - 4.0, that's good, DX9c an DX10, that's like Geforce 8800 GTX playing H2V, i think.:eyesroll:

As much as I prefer 360 over PS3, I try to be as unbiased as I can, and last time I checked, the PS3 is actually more powerful than the 360, but only slightly.

And Halo 2 was worth buying. Like IGN said in the review, if you don't have Halo 2 (and/or 1), you don't deserve to own an Xbox.

[[MT]Slayer]

i prefer Xbox 360 though, it looks nice.

the Play Stations look like crap. Black, lumpy, cold, not shiny white or pearly white, the controllers are crap too made for little hands, i could nearly wrap my whole hand around the controller and only leave out a little part of the controller. The Play stations look all nearly the same anyways, Microsoft, Windows, and the Xbox's rock! May i remind you, the Halos which are created by Bungie is associated with Microsoft that made Windows NT all the way up to Vista and other games and operating applications.

Verdict: my opinion, one statement, Playstation PWNED...Playstation = shit not worth buying for my precious green Franklins and Jacksons.

Yeah because a reviewer's review is law.

No...I was just using that as an example of what I meant.

I'm not talking about graphics, I'm talking about an epic earth game that never happened.

No. H2X can only support standard def. Otherwise it's stretched out, also H2X doesn't support DX10.

While that's not necessarily true, I didn't find much else on the Xbox appealing.

As soon as I play my first game of Halo3 , I'm going to roll the biggest damn blunt anyone has ever seen.

[Teroh]

Oh, you have no idea how much I smiled when I heard and saw that Spartan's bones breaking, cracking on the floor and landing in the water...:)

Oh, one thing I noticed is that they haven't got the "amazing" water physics Bungie has been talking about.

Now, let me tell you this. Bungie have been talking about their water physics and the way they're improving the look and physics of it in every update now. They've been editing and tweaking it for MONTHS now.
Look in the Vidoc, there's no water physics in there like Bungie have been tlaking about for ages now. Like it moving with the player and reacting to the environment (etc, etc).
Now if you see they've been tweaking it for months now, and this Alpha footage doesn't have any of the water physics, it just shows how old this footage really is.

And I have good reason to know that Bungie can do A LOT in a few months...
Alpha.
Maybe they didn't implement it yet?

I thank Timo for it. :)
I love it too.

Mind inviting me?

Alpha.

Read my post properly
My point was to realise just how old the footage is. Bungie have been talking about their tweaks and changes to their water physics for months now, but this footage DOES NOT have it.
That just shows just HOW OLD the footage is, it's from a time where they haven't developed the water physics yet, and Bungie has been talking about it since the beginning of 2007.
That shows that the footage is from 2006...which comes to my poiint that Bungie can do ALOT in a few months.


By the way, one thing that's confused me is that even up to right now, Bungie are still showing us footage and screenshots of the alpha game. Surely by now they're up to Beta stage.
Maybe they're saving a little graphical surprise for us when the Beta kicks off next month?

duh, makes the impact better. :)

Yeah, but you have bad taste in video games, so no one cares.

And Neuro, 14 year olds shouldn't be smoking blunts.

PS: Did I ever tell you that cancer is funny than you, Neuro?

yo champ.. that's not funny man.. that's not funny at all :(
