Halo 3 Beta
It is shit hot. They got the weapons balanced right for the most part, nothing is way overpowered. But they do need to increase the damage done by the grenades, Brute Shot, and shotgun desperately. They are all weak sauce. I'm sorry, if I hit you in the ass point blank with the shotgun and it drains your shields, that's BS. Only way to insta-kill someone with a shotgun is to literally hit them center mass at point blank range. Point blank range to the ass or legs, nope. Also, increase clip count in assault rifle from 32 to 40. This way you can actually miss 1 or 2 bullets and still kill someone in one clip without having be close enough to melee.
They've also either made you faster or the levels slightly smaller, feels pretty much spot on to Halo 1. Running across Valhalla is pretty easy to do.
You've actually got to have some skill at sniping in this one. No general vicinity of the northern half of the body is going to result in one hit head shots. This is a good thing.
Good way to judge how good this is, my little bro, a devout Halo 1 addict, hated Halo 2. Swore he'd never get Halo 3. I convinced him to play the beta today, he's reserving his copy tonight probably. Said it was just as good as the first.
