H3 beta custom games unlocked, pistol spotted

Is it a requirement to put shitty background music on all these videos?

lol ya it is a requirement did'nt ya get the memo

O and Richard wheres the fancast this week did you guys not do one?

What's funny about that is of course that the shitty music is the Halo theme...

"O and Richard wheres the fancast this week did you guys not do one?"

Yeah, I'm putting it together today because yesterday was Memorial Day.

k kool

The first video isn't loading for me =\
Not even on YouTube...

Its possible that bungie have done this on purpose, I mean they knew that thousands would be getting this, maybe they put some random chance that you could play the locked game types... I'm not sure why they'd do that mind...

This needs to be labeled NSFW due to the lyrics in the music.

you know what
its time to lay off halo 3
otherwise i'll be burnt out
before halo 3 even comes out
and i don't want that
do you?




of course not

i have been gettin messages saying my video is not working...i think its youtube, it works fine for me, and for other people it takes awhile, but it will work for you guys..all it is, is a video of another birds eye view of this...we are currently in the custom right now, trying to work with this as i speak

Prety crappy music. Might of been able to stand watching, if they had any tase in music.

hey,
nifty, i submitted this.
it's nice to see that the pistol will be a little less powerful now.
As for the music in the first video... Yeah, it's a requirement to put horrible rap/rock-pop over your internet videos.
You can read all about it in "youtube game videos for dummies Vol. II"

Get six people together in a party, then have a party of 2 join the game. One of the players should be booted, and be given a custom game. Then, just have that person invite the other players into the game.

You're all welcome.

Hey Guys,

Game videos has two new videos of custom gameplay in High Definition.

Halo 3 Beta 'Pistol' gameplay HD

Somewhat offtopic but a guy put pictures from a Gamer Pro Magazine that is July's issue with HALO 3 on the cove and the pic show off the brute chopper and 2 or 3 new maps. One of the maps is called shrine and is the biggest halo multiplayer map ever.Also create your own spartan which looks cool.

Quoted from the article:

Weapons

Magnum - The Magnum is much improved since Halo 2, dishing out slower, more punishing shots. But it's still not back to Halo 1 strength, as the clip currently carries just eight rounds and you can't zoom in. Still a nice, precise choice for dual-wield combos.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/Hank101/magnum.jpg

Energy Sword - The infamous Sword gets two tweaks aimed at balancing its overwhelming power. One change is a brief weapon-switch delay. The second adjustment is more controversial: the Energy Sword now has an ammo meter that depletes with each attack, which keeps players from hoarding it indefinitely.

Vehicles

Wraith - The lumbering Covenant Wraith returns with a new player-operated secondary turret. It's helpful for driving off boarding attempts.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a106/Hank101/wraith.jpg

Brute Chopper - This ugly, jagged Brute Chopper looks like something Firefly's Reavers might drive into battle. Its twin cannons nad heavy, blade-like chassis can pulverize lesser vehicles in a nanosecond.

Equipment

Radar Jammer - Hurl this item into a fight and watch as chaos and confusion engulf friend and foe alike. The jammer scrambles the radar of all nearby players and triggers disco-like light flashes to further disorient your prey.

and


Maps

Shrine - A UNSC battle cruiser looms menacingly over Shrine's sprawling sand dunes. Shrine is the largest map ever to appear in a Halo game, so Bungie put a key emphasis on vehicle-on-vehicle combat. Shrine has few ties to older Halo 2 maps, but its massive size recalls Relic.

Epitaph - Epitaph is an arcane Forerunner cathedral-like structure that towers above the surrounding wasteland. The central killing floor is crisscrossed with elevated walkways, exterior hallways, and lifts. It's a spiritual successor to Halo 2 maps like Colossus, Gemini, and Midship.

Last Resort - Zanzibar, one of Halo 2's most beloved maps, has been rebuilt and rechristened Last Resort for Halo 3. This industrial site is almost twice as big, with a less cluttered internal layout and more paths into the flag room.

Secret Map - Bungie sneakily sent us two mysterious concept paintings labeled only as "Work in Progress Map." We see the icey motif and pray for a new Lockout, but only Bungie knows the truth.

Customization

Create a Spartan:

Tired of staring at Master Chief's ugly mug? Halo 3's online mode offers new armor permutations that allow players to customize their personas from head to toe. Will the Covenant Elite player models be eligible for similar upgrades? Only Bungie knows.

Hey i just wanted to let u guys know that u can change the gravity in these games, as well as the speed. its pretty tight.

I got invited into a custom game last night and played Slayer with brute shots, 300% movement speed, and 50% gravity on Valhalla. Whoever is in the lead gets hit with 25% movement speed and 200% gravity. So you basically become a rock as soon as you take the lead. It was a blast. I hope to get into a custom game tonight but since I don't know how to start one, aside from what Haxxxor said I have to wait for another invite.

Yeah, been playing custom games for about 16 hours now. The Wraith get the award for Best Improvement. The pistol gets an honorable mention *cough*it sucks!*cough cough*. The sword is also improved, nifty battery to stop the sword noobs. Oh, and the gametypes are all awesome.
