Stephen Totilo and N'Gai Croal finished their series of debates on the Halo 3 Beta last week, and since a lot of what they covered intersects some of the pieces I've written on this site in response to complaints from hardcore gamers to the effect that Halo is unfair and unsuitable for serious competetive play, I thought I'd remark on some of the points they raised.
Logon to the beta now and you'll see that Big Team Battle has moved from training to ranked, and Double Team Training has taken its place in the social playlists. Check Bungie.net for the list of currently active playlists.
Lukems has a new top story up at Bungie.net; this one is about the exceptional audio in the Halo 3 beta. Sound and music have always been strong points of the series, but I have to say that I think so far Halo 3 is taking it to a whole new level; possibly as high as eleven.
Sorahn has set up a sort of halo mini-site at halo.sorahn.net; within that there's a Halo 3 beta subsection where he's laid out all the ranks, weapons, and medals.
I'm going to start with a really, really tiny detail and try to use it to come to a sweeping statement about what makes a game fun. The detail we'll start with is weapon spawns in the Halo games: why timers are fair, but not fun, and why slightly random spawns may be unfair, but more fun.
Okay, so not everybody is in love with Halo 3. Over at the Hushed Casket, Midnight calls it "fun" and details the changes. Rapture calls it a bigger, prettier Halo 2, and it's most decidedly not a compliment. Of course you can't please everybody, and some things (like Halo) become so popular that the only way for anybody to make themselves cooler is to not like it. The guys at the Hushed Casket aren't like that, though, so if they've got a beef with the game, there's probably something to it.
Bungie has swapped out the Team Training list for a Big Team Training playlist. This features Banshees when played on Valhalla.
More articles about the Halo 3 Beta around the web:
GamingExcellence likes what they see but think Bungie has taken a "safe approach" to changes in Halo 3.
Hushed Casket has impressions of Halo 3 by Midnight and rapture; they're not nearly as impressed as many others are, and their comments deserve some examination which I'll get to shortly.
More ramblings on the Internet over the past few days about the Halo 3 beta.
Haven't played Wideload Games' debut effort, Stubbs the Zombie? Maybe you've never seen it in stores. Well, that's no longer an excuse; for $19.95 you can get a digital delivery of Stubbs via Steam.
