Halo 3 online mutiplayer beta.

It actually tells you how many people are online and how many there are in each playlist...For some reason it just takes ages with partys though, espically mixed ranged ones.

I'm sure random people will be playing Halo 3 forever. Playing with randoms is more the reason to get rid of the game for me. I can be doing without the stress of either getting my ass kicked, or the opposite:- having 80% of the other team quit.

Eh alright I'm just saying that for people in partys take abit longer to find another game, and if you're ranked and you've wide variations of ranks (someone is rank 20, someone is 10 and the other is 3) it will take even longer to find someone of equal skill. It's still a beta, this is the stuff being tested but if ya wanna quit thats fair enough. If ya don't wanna play with randoms thats cool, can be a bit gay.

I'll humbly eat some of my words and I can understand better why some people better get into multiplayer Halo on a regular basis.

Been playing a bit more on Snowbound rumble pit, and experienced a game at my skill level. Generally just much more satisfying - I got 17 skills and was using the ghost for the first time. Also the ease of functionality of the muting is indeed genius (I didn't expect it to be so easy).

Anyway, off for Liverpool's match.

These sessions are keeping me up waaaaay too late

I'm convinced those lagfests at 12:30ish last night were caused by peeps trying to standby it - And I'm sure the subsequent lengthy "uploading" followed by being kicked to a lobby ourselves was part of Bungies capturing of this behaviour.

At least I hope so !

Finally managed to get some time with this yesterday with the NTSC crew and had a bloody good laugh. The full version can't come soon enough!

This game is killing me. too many late nights. i couldn't bare trying to play any more last night as I was doing crap due to tiredness

God I love this game.... I loved Gears when it was 8 of my mates playing 4v4 but now we can go on the same team, work together, have a laugh and shoot americans in the face

[MJ]

I'll be on with a guest tonight who shouldn't be too bad once he adjusts to the new controls.

[eastyy]

I've been away the last week and missed Halo. I hope they'll be some good sessions over the weekend.

We're all finished with it now but there's plenty of yanks you can play with

I know it's already been mentioned but its really irritating when people leave because they are losing. Completely ruins the match, particularly as you cannot swap sides.

Had a game yesterday of Team Slayer (BTB), the other team got pounded for a few minutes and they started dropping one by one. In the end only two were left, which made the game last forever. Bah.

I'm worried about the balance of the new weapons also - the heavy weapons are so powerful they completely change the whole dynamic of the game. The focus for a team is either grabbing the super weapons or killing whoever has the superweapon.

[EvilBoris]

I too hope they sort something out with the sniper and Laser, they are way too versatile and overpowered, as soon as you get into a game with 1 person who is good at whoring either weapon, you are screwed.
