So...yeah, seeing as I have Crackdown, I get access to the Halo multiplayer beta. I finally got around to updating my subscription to Live today, so I downloaded it and played all day. IT ROCKS. New weapons, cool graphics, and that same addictiveness that came from Halo 2 multiplayer. Although...those Team Skirmish matches really annoy me. ESPECIALLY TERRITORIES. I die every 5 seconds Doesn't seem to me that anyone else here can play, don't know who has a 360...but heck I'll ask - anyone else got it?

Man, I'd love to have the chance to play beta. The video of it looked fun! ;D But no, me and Mello don't have a 360. Gotta save for 2 PS3s and 2 PSPs for some good multiplayer fun.

Why would you want 2 PSPs nothing good is on them. I'll try and enter as many PS3 winning contests as possible for you two.

hehe... I'd enter PS3 contest too, but they're void in this state for some reason. 2 PSPs because.... some of the games out for it (the good ones) are worth it, and us twins can't be fighting over one. We'll need our own.... cause mine is gonna have skulls and bones on it. (much like the new look I'm planning for my pc) ;D

Woah, just finished a night of beta playing...it's so much fun! The graphics are really starting to awe me, although I've always thought that some of the maps could look better on the 360 than they do here...then again, it's the beta for a reason! And as for PSP...ew. I have no real interest in purchasing Sony's sleek black mistake (harsh I know), but I might get it for the other benefits, internet and stuff. And Daxter.

I still don't understand why people bash on the PSP. Yeah it may not have the greatest of games as compared to the DS but it is still a lot of what I'd like to have on a portable device, for instance the use of internet in case I don't have my laptop on me. Granted that the amount of memory is an issue, I still like it, I wouldn't necessarily call it a mistake

It's nice to be able to get plenty of downloads in from the Playstation Store without having to sit in my room for two hours.

The new assault rifle rocks. Less ammo, but more accurate and more powerful. Just wanna yell... DUAL WEILDED SPIKERS!!!

Didn't they just bring the assault rifle back because in Halo 2 all you had to do is grab another duel weapon and you could kill too fast for them to put up a defence that early in the match and thats all people would do.

Dual wielding wasnt really a dominant thing.... more or less they are bringing back the assault rifle is because people disliked the battle rifle which was the halo 2 replacement I wonder if there's any new vehicles because that would make it even better IMO

Oh, thats kinda weird cause my friend worships the battle rifle. As for vehicles there is supposedly a ATV called the mongoose.

My friend said beta sucks. He mentioned the only thing being different was around 3 or 4 guns, the bubble grenade, and the mongoose...and that the graphics weren't much different from Halo 2. He basically talked me out of wanting it period, describing all the stuff and saying how much beta wasn't even worth playing.

What really erks me is you can't dual weild needlers. WHAT GIVES MAN??? Yeah, i was hoping there'd be more guns...new stuff is the Spiker, the Assault Rilfe (not new, but brought back from Halo 1), the missle pod, detatchable machine gun turret, and the Spiker grenade. The equipment is the bubble shield, the power drainer, the protable grav lift, and the proximity mine. I LOVE being able to detatch the turrets. Only problem is - limited mobility. It actually takes you into 3rd person when you have the turret or missile pod. As for the graphics...come on, it's called a beta for a reason. It looks good to me, but I definitely know and believe it can be better than this. I might not be playing much anyway...I just got Gears of War, and it owns my soul

Halo 3 sounds and looks awesome! (even the beta) ;D Heh... it would be one of the only reasons I'd ever get an xbox.
