Halo 3 - Good, Bad and the Beta

360 Feature | Halo 3

Team 'Radar has been blasting (or suffering a blasting) in the public Beta for the last few days now, and opinion has been starkly divided on Halo 3's early appeal. But it's important to remember that this isn't anything like the finished product, and in fact it might not even match up to the build that Bungie has running in its development lab right now. Anyway. Here we've attempted to weigh in with a balanced take on what we love and what we hate about this sneak peek. ...

Halo 3 Beta - nine unanswered questions

360 Feature | Halo 3

With the Halo 3 Beta on constant play in the GamesRadar office, we've compiled a list of the questions we've been hearing people ask as they're watching or playing. Some are funny but point out odd things, others are a little more worrying... Why don't the graphics look more next-gen? This is the main one. And we're still confused about the game's visuals. There are some cool physics and ragdoll effects, some pretty(ish) water and higher resolution textures. And... er... anyone? Gears of War ...

What's wrong with Halo 3?

360 Feature | Halo 3

How many people do you think are playing Halo 3 right now? We're guessing it's somewhere between "huh, that's a lot" and "seriously?" Members of the press and several other lucky souls have been playing since last Friday, and that extra week of time has led some of us at GamesRadar to say what everyone else is thinking: Halo 3 ain't that great. Don't get us wrong, it's undeniably fun. We've logged our fair share of hours (including yesterday's 24-hour play session ) and spent several nights ...

Halo 3: The good, the bad and the Beta

360 Feature | Halo 3

Wednesday 16 May 2007 In case you've just arrived on this lush globe we call Earth, we'll explain why everyone's calling in sick this lunchtime. See, the Halo 3 multiplayer Beta went live at 1pm today, triggering so much demand that Bungie has been forced to temporarily stem the flow of new arrivals, just to let the internet recover from sheer shock. Team 'Radar has been blasting (or suffering a blasting) in the public Beta for the last few hours now, and opinion has been starkly divided on ...

Halo Killers

360 Feature | Halo 3

Halo isn't perfect. Oh, there's no denying the series' greatness. Its brilliance, even. Halo and Halo 2 have done more to revolutionize and shape the way we play console shooters than any other game. Where do you think Gears of War learned the strategic economy of the two gun inventory? Where did GRAW and Call of Duty discover the simplicity of regenerating health? Above all, where did the entire genre realize the importance of online multiplayer? The answer is always... Halo. As the years ...

It's a tricky business letting people hammer your unfinished game and we can already see the forums ...

Halo 3 Dissected

360 Feature | Halo 3

So Bungie has finally revealed details on when and what the multiplayer beta will consist of. There's no word on the size of the download yet but we'll be able to play three maps - Valhalla, High Ground and Snowbound - in a "wide variety" of gameplay types, says Bungie. The dev also hints that some of the game modes will be familiar while some will be new. One new game type we know about is called Escort. The three maps that we'll be able to slaughter each other over and over again on are the ...

The A-Z of Halo 3

360 Feature | Halo 3

A is for Ark The Ark is a mysterious Forerunner device from which all the Halos can be activated. At the end of Halo 2, Delta Halo is armed and then unexpectedly shut down, causing it to send a superluminal signal to all other Halos in the galaxy, putting them on standby mode. 343 Guilty Spark informs Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson that the Halos must now be activated from "The Ark." So, where's The Ark? Rumor has it, its location is Earth, buried under the ground near New Mombasa. When ...
