Halo 3 Beta Closes Up Shop [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

"Don't get attached to anything" is the message conveyed by Bungie, concerning the end of the public Halo 3 Beta. The event, which concluded yesterday, was the proving ground for multiplayer portion of the highly anticipated title. Halo 3 is due out this September. "The Beta has been a great success for us in terms of the sheer amount of data it allowed us to gather, for matchmaking, networking, general bug-bashing and of course some gameplay elements. As the Beta heads to the great software graveyard in the sky, it's vital to remember that things you got used to during these short few weeks, are almost certain to change. Some of those changes will be subtle, nuanced, perhaps even invisible. Others will be less subtle - with shifts in game types, weapon functionality, spawn points and map details."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

I liked the beta. The return of the AR was great. I too, went back to Halo 2 and it is not the same. I like all types of games, but I have to say that I am a huge Halo fanboy.

I had people still playing on today apparently if you keep your 360 on you can keep playing. I played about 10 games and got tired of it personally.

I definitely played those 3 levels for all they were worth.

It was nice to see Bungie finally fix the infamous "lagging out" cheat.

...oh wait, they didn't.

Thanks again, Bungie...Halo 3 is destined to be ruled by cheaters and glitchers yet again. Woohoo!
