so you mean you're agreeing with him?

Major Williams said:Good catch - it was kind of expected that we would see more.
I hope that they keep it open to add more AA's with DLC (and armor), unlike their inability to with H3. The community can come up with some great things that would be fun to implement.
EazyB said:IIRC Bungie hasn't said anything about there being more AAs but Tom Morello said there was a halogram one and maybe others. I'd be surprised if there were more AAs for MP as they'd probably want them to be tested in the Beta but having campaign exclusive ones is to be expected. Halo 3 had the turret, invincibility, and invisibility equipment that never made it into MP.
Oh yes please I hope they allow ablilties to be DLC, or like throw in a new ability with each map pack to sweeten the deal at the time.Major Williams said:Good catch - it was kind of expected that we would see more.

Bungie has in some of the pre-Beta coverage said there would be more AA in the shipping game. Something to the effect of, the Beta is a subset of the final number, and they're including the ones that they need more user testing data back on.EazyB said:Randoms can't Halo their way out of a wet paper bag. If that's where we're setting our expectations HaloGAF has hit an all-time low.
So watching that Inside Xbox thing, this pops up:

Edit: Jesus, that flaming head permutation is obnoxious. I just might have to t-bag everyone I see who uses that.

NG28 said:OMG I was watching that 35 min Giantbomb vid again for that quest and there was seriously 15 seconds left on the video when I accidentally clicked on a link and left the page. fml.
I was thinking the same thing but working that shit out is what the beta is for right? If my understanding is right the longer you are in the lock the lower your shields will be once coming out of it. I think that is a fair trade off. Say that you can use armor lock 1 or 2 times before you need to recharge. I would think whether you are in lock for 1 or 5 seconds it would use up one of those 2 "charges".Trasher said:Armor lock seems like you can go invulnerable wayyyy too much. And the fact that you can use it for a fraction of a second if you want.
Church RvB said:The Halo 3 Beta only had the Bubble Shield, Trip Mine, Gravlift, and something else(Power Drainer?). In the final retail version Flares, Regenerators, Radar Jammers, and Personal Shields were added. Personally, I feel like most of the ones added sucked(or at least implemented improperly). So hopefully Bungie can come up with some more awesome AAs to add in this time.
I know but I think it is one of those first people to get in get a beta thing, although I was probably too late anyways.Ten-Song said:If you're trying to do the quest over again, it's not like you actually have to watch the video again every time. Just open it up in a new tab/window, turn the sound off, and check back later.
Which is why I'm concerned that there aren't more in the beta to test thoroughly. Look at how popular the Flare, Personal Shield, and Radar Jammers are...lawl.Church RvB said:The Halo 3 Beta only had the Bubble Shield, Trip Mine, Gravlift, and something else(Power Drainer?).

Ten-Song said:Were trip mines in the Halo 3 beta? I honestly can't remember if they were revealed later or not.
Considering the newspost announcing the quest was up quite a bit later than the quest itself, I doubt that's the case.NG28 said:I know but I think it is one of those first people to get in get a beta thing, although I was probably too late anyways.

And they were actually kinda useful in the beta with the way you could stick them on to vehicles and such. After the beta they became absolutely worthless IMO.MagniHarvald said:Yes trip mines were in the beta. They weren't in the full game though.
trip mines? what was different to the mines the retail version had?MagniHarvald said:Yes trip mines were in the beta. They weren't in the full game though.Much like the Carbine was removed =(

Yea but they seemed to kill your own teammates as much if not more often that the other team.Trasher said:And they were actually kinda useful in the beta with the way you could stick them on to vehicles and such. After the beta they became absolutely worthless IMO.
They were awesome in the beta. Not nearly as much so at retail.Diablohead said:trip mines? what was different to the mines the retail version had?
Wish I played the H3 beta more then I did, only had a few hours since it was my friends copy of Crackdown at the time.

That's not the game's fault. That's people just being stupid and not communicating to their teammates.Captain Blood said:Yea but they seemed to kill your own teammates more often that the other team.
Ten-Song said:If you're thinking it's a first come first serve thing with people completing the quest early getting all the codes, they put up a news item to clarify that everyone has till the 29th to finish the quest, at which point there will be a random drawing amongst people that have all the quests completed. No need to rush.

Sure...EazyB said:SMH at people confused about which way to run a flag. If the combination of UI + different bases isn't enough, just stick to grifball for your objective fix.
There were some cool ones posted earlier. I won't be making any this time around since I'm avoiding gameplay videos until I get to play the beta in a week.EuropeOG said:So...
Any new .gifs today?
