Beta: We're Taking Your Questions
Are some things about the Halo 3 Public Beta confusing you? Do you want to know more about a feature or why you keep getting owned in Oddball on Snowbound? Here's where to ask.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Vampin Is there a way to send a video to multiple people? Also, on Vallhalla, it seems that the team who controls the vehicles, controls the game. Since plasma grenades don't destroy the warthog, other than a missile pod, what gun takes out a warthog with one shot? Thanks and this game ROCKS![/quote] I think vehicles seem easier to take out then before once you get used to all the weapons and equipment. The trip mine, plasma pistol, shield disrupter (cant remember real name off hand it spawns by the downed pelican), sniper rifle, laser, missile pod, and the newly portable chain gun are all good options for taking down the vehicle or it's operators. Bungie: did you add the function of disabling vehicles to the plasma pistol to give it some worth now that it doesn't chase opponents?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ChiefofWar117 I am not very pleased with the vehicles. The warthog seems almost invincible, the ghost just seems weak, about the only vehicle [b]i really like is the mongoose. i wish it could splatter though. [/b]and the banshee. i must say i absolutely love its new design and also the banshee bomb addition. i hope it stays in the final game. but the banshee just isn't what it used to be. i hate not being able to hover either. please balance the vehicles a little better. i also feel like we dont have much weapons to choose from. if you want to know what we think about the feel of the game, we will need to see how all the weapons do against each other. a lot of them don't feel all that balanced either. other than that the whole feel of the beta is great. BTW i suck at using the grav lif, love the man cannon, the bubble shield could do better and so could the graphics. parts of master chief looks good. others look like halo 2. Love, Chief[/quote] [b]Well I can answer that. The Mongoose [i]CAN[/i] Splatter!!!! It's just hard because it's so small. [/b]But it can happen. My bro did it...he's also the one who got an over kill before me....grrrr [Edited on 05.24.2007 6:42 AM PDT]

i played a few dozen team slayer games the other night & at times it will show you killed someone but won't reflect it in your amount of kills, why is this? Also on the other hand, a member of my party had a significantly lesser amount of kills but his score seemed to be about double the actual amount of kills, why is that?

How does the radar detect people [be extremely specific] and could you implement somthing to signify elevation?

it is 1 win=1 RP. There is something about actual and apparent RP, so I quote from another post: [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Saint OK. There are two RP values: Your "Actual" RP (which you can see on your Service Record) and your "Apparent" RP (which you find by pressing A on your name). When you win or tie a game, both go up by 1 point. When you lose a game, nothing happens. Here's where it gets confusing. When you [i]quit[/i] a game, or lag out, your [b]Actual[/b] RP goes down a point (or two, can't recall). Your [b]Apparent[/b] RP stays where it is. But it won't go up until your [b]Actual[/b] RP has "caught up". Your Actual RP is what governs the rank shown on Bungie.net. So you may havee 100 Apparent RP and see yourself as a Lieutenant rank in MM and when you press A on your name, but your Actual RP may be a couple of points lower... So in your Service record it'll be at 98 or 99, and Bungie.net will show you as still being a Gunnery Sergeant Grade 2. Hope this helps![/quote]

Another Question 1. What happend to "Gain the lead" "Tied the leader" "lost the lead" ????
-
Thanks for making such a kickass game! Will our stats transfer over for multiplayer once the final game is released?
-
Why does the banshees manueverability suck?
-
How many Unique ID's have hit the beta? When the beta ends will Bungie release stats about it such as total hours logged, different medals acquired , highest rank etc.? [Edited on 05.24.2007 6:13 AM PDT]

What is with the melee lunge? Is there one? I find at time that I do lunge and at times I don't lunge. -RelientCaleb

Well the Beta is fun and September 25th could not come any sooner. Here are my questions: 1. What's with the long load times?? Is it because it's comming off my HDD??? Will it be like this in the fianl game? 2. And what about when someone quits...and it goes to the stats menue and stays there for so long?...and if I am lucky, I won't get booted to the main lobby and be able to continue the game. This happens with territories a lot...if I do make it back to the game the round will be over and the enemy will have captured like 2 more territores. 3. Riding a mongoose or a warthog on Valhala in BTB Training will cause some lagg, it's jumpy. It's not horrible lagg but it can annoying. If your turret guy, you can't aim properly. Is it just me? Thanks Bungie. The Beta is soooooo much fun!!!! You've done it again. Multiplayer will never be the same. -Golden Greek117-

Is the feedback you get as positive as you expected it to be? Will the graphics in the final game look very different from what they do now or shouldn't we expect too much? Which Player (with no friends) spent the most hours playing the Beta yet? Are you adding additional game modes before the Beta ends? Will the Sword or the Pistol possibly make it into the Beta? Is it true that there's a hidden sword on Snowbound. Will there be a big improvement regarding the netcode until the final game ships comparing to the Beta? How many people are playing the Beta daily? Are you already working on some bugs that have been discovered so far and will you bring and update for the Beta to fix these issues? Are there any surprises planned regarding the Beta? Why is Frankie so cute?

Is there a way to send a video to multiple people? Also, on Vallhalla, it seems that the team who controls the vehicles, controls the game. Since plasma grenades don't destroy the warthog, other than a missle pod, what gun takes out a warthog with one shot? Thanks and this game ROCKS!

Why were some weapons left out of the beta? Wasn't one of the purposes for the beta to also get some more data on balancing? Are they completed? Why were Highground, Snowbound and Valhalla the maps that were completed first and then put into the beta? Were they simply conceptualized and created first? Are there any changes that Bungie has decided to look into or change because of the beta? What kind of music does Frankie listen to while at work (we know he doesn't really do much), or does he just sing Jitterbug to himself?
-
so whats up with the no sword actiion i want sword and more wepons please
-
So this might have been asked already but can you explain how the saved films work. I know that it saves the data not a video but does that mean that what i see on my screen and what is saved in the vid should be diff in cases of lag, cheat, ect. Oh and in the beta its just the one camera right? no seeing what everyone else did or anything?

1.Where is my gauss cannon?is it in halo 3? 2.Can you make a custom symbol in the final version of halo 3?
-
WOW, the water effects are making me excitedly proudce my own water products, from my eyes and the other places...So my question to you is this: Does the final game hold anything new in store, in terms of the liquidy substance? Will it look even better, will we be able to swim in it, is it used in any interesting game mechanics? I'd love to get my Moljoina (sp?) armour even wetter come Septemeber...

When the beta is played on a non-widescreen monitor (4:3/5:4) using the VGA cable with dashboard set to 1280x1024 standard, why does the beta overide this setting and force the screen to 800x600 full screen? Why doesn't the beta run letterboxed at 720p on non-widescreen monitors like most other 360 games do? As it is, non-widescreen monitor users are not getting a high-def image, please can you confirm that this will be fixed for the full release? [Edited on 05.24.2007 5:44 AM PDT]

MVP??? What's the formula for this 'award'? Should one Flag Cap overlook your -18 K/D spread? Thanks! Great Beta!! Really enjoying it!!
-
I dont understand sticking Warthogs with stickys or spikes neither seem to hurt it very much... i stuck a warthog twice with three guys in it and none of them died and the warthog didnt even blow up... just dont understand why you stick it and it doesnt blow up...
-
Are there going to be any different matchmaking playlists from the huge variety over the past couple years of H2? There were so many playlists experimented with in H2 maybe there is something out there you'd still like to see. There are plenty of stupid ideas people in the community are trying to get on, but is there an idea internally you guys/gals have passed around?
-
Will we be able to play as elites in the final version of multiplayer? Will the brutes make it in to multiplayer?
