Halo 3 Information

Halo 3 confirms 4 player co op over xbox live. Go to the previous link to see what else they have found.

Scrolling through the list of on-screen text for party menus, one sentence revealed the following:

The game cannot start because all players are set to observer. Too many players for splitscreen. Only 2 players may play splitscreen coop on the same Xbox 360 console. The party size is too large to start the game. Up to 4 players may play coop on Xbox Live or System Link. Loading information from Xbox Live…

Sweet. I love co op. Nothing else does 4 player now, halo does it first again.

I Can't Believe I missed this.

The best fast food mascot, and my hero, The Burger King, graced Microsoft with his presence at the Halo 3 beta launch party. You can read all about it here.

I put my claws away and found myself a new spot to shoot from. I recognized a lot of people but it wasn't until after I'd uploaded a bunch of pictures that I realized exactly who they were. For example, it didn't help that Ryan Cabrera had newly flowing brown locks. I knew the face but the hair completely threw me off. Others who walked the asphalt carpet were Dane Cook and stunning girlfriend Raquel Houghton, John Salley (who, thankfully, avoided being asked if he liked playing with balls by an unnamed reporter), Jon Heder, John Hensley, Stephan Bender, Channing Tatum, Jesse Metcalfe, Shawn Maguire, Victoria Pratt, Matt Leinart, Evan Ross, Geoffrey Rush!? and The King from Burger King. It was scary how good looking all these people were - well, except the King...He was a little creepy.

Yes, a spot the king deserves, with Napoleon Dynamite and some NFL QB.

Halo 3 Beta: First Impressions

After downloading the Beta, I was ready to send Crackdown back to Gameznflix and I realized I couldn't. The beta requires the player to launch from Crackdown. Dumb. Anyway...


The limited time I spent with the beta was fun. I tried out the noob combo, and that didn't work as well as it did in halo2, but it did work sort of. The map I played on was High Ground. It consisted of a valley with enclosures on each side for easy ambushes.

The control was great, the responsiveness was awesome, but the only thing I didn't like about it was the jumping. Everyone, when they had a 1 on 1 would jump up and down while shooting at you. I am not used to this, I am used to just circle strafing my way to victory. In the Halo universe, everyone is a high jumping Olympian, you can jump like 10 feet into the air.

All in all a fun time. I can't wait til we get to try out the party system.

Halo 3 Beta Ready for download

Fire up your crackdowns, and DL away.

BTW does anyone know if you HAVE to launch halo from crackdown? I was hoping to send my rental copy back.

Halo 3 Beta delayed

I feel sorry for the poor SOBs that called in sick for work or faked a tummy ache so their mom would call in for them. The Halo 3 beta is delayed by just a little bit.

Rule of thumb with these things: They never go according to plan or launch on time. You would be better off taking the friday off, instead of the day of the launch. Goobers.

I bet newbcakes had his mom make Smiles and call the Canadian School for him,

1 More week til Halo 3 Beta

Here is a video of some spectacular kills.

Halo 3 public beta info

The folks over at Team Xbox have some juicy info for all of you looking forward to Halo3. There is a diagram of the button mapping, and a few details on split screen.

You’ll also be pleased to hear that split-screen will be an option, although limited to two people in the Public Beta. We’ve also done something cool with the splitscreen display for HD monitors – instead of stretching the horizontal or vertical axes into big, scary too wide or too tall horrors, we’ve sensibly windowed the action, maintaining lots of screen real estate, but preserving a proper, playable aspect ratio.

I love when Bungie innovates. This is also good for ian0375 he loves to play split screen online Gears Of War after school with one of his buddies.

This is also a good feature. You can same game videos. Great for catching that butthump or teabag on film.

This feature we’re testing is for the moment, just a fun addition, that’s planned to grow into something pretty amazing by launch, and that feature is Saved Films. The version you’ll try in the Beta, is very, very, very limited. We just want you to play around with the general concept. You’ll be reading more about this in the gaming press in the next month or two, and of course you can try it out for yourselves in less than a month.
