Full Analysis of the Halo 3 Beta

[@gamecheat13]

Awesome analysis. Quite a few things in here I didn't even notice.

[@shulva.7644]

Gamecheat13 dude you are amazing If I were a bungie employee I would ban slim shady modz he's dumb. My life would be complete if you replied

[@Reinboa]

Gamecheat13 Nice dude! I can't to see Halo Reachs beta analysis :)

[@GTEmeraldRepublic]

Gamecheat13 dang I see you

[@ThatGuyNamedBender]

Oh shit GC be here boissss

[@xDinomanx]

They also cut some of the animations they were going to give to Brutes and Elites. Examples include which we saw in the 'Et Tu Brute' documentary: -Brutes pushing over vehicles. -Brute smashing a marine over the head with a hammer. -Brute ripping off the arms of a marine. -Elites being able to duel-wield energy swords and using them to "execute" a Brute by slicing off their legs before stabbing them in the chest. A shame these never saw the light of day.

[@Dan-hu7fi]

Luke Mitchell marine arms getting ripped off by a brute? sorry but Im glad they didnt implement it

[@Model_BT-7274]

ModernIdiots why not? bungie kept saying they wanted us to feel like the brutes were something you didnt want to mess with and they wanted them to feel intimidating but we never really got that feel until halo wars 2.

[@tiernanstevens117]

ModernIdiots Well nobody actually pays attention to ratings but it's not a pg game. If you don't like gore- stick to pg or m. not ma and/or R

[@friskthehuman7398]

These are really brutal. It'd be really cool actually.

[@MrBioniclefan1]

Luke Mitchell I know right

[@Zeddikins]

The compass is mostly a debug thing only seen in internal builds. It's drawn exclusively via code which is how they can easily toggle it for release/public builds.

[@TheVengefulVadam]

+Lord Zedd I see, and I just learned it was also used in older Reach builds as well.

[@tiernanmccarthy]

Lord Zedd Nice that they cared enough about the small details like that.

[@FBWalshyFTW]

Holy crap, this brings me back.

[@dashiejinxx100]

Oh shit its Walshy!

[@johnspears9254]

This brings me 4 years even further back

[@GigaFluxx]

No one ever talks about how dead Spartans would float down the river in Valhalla. It was kinda funny

[@RoachCatJr]

do they still not do tht?

[@GigaFluxx]

@@RoachCatJr Not nearly as much. Initially when they hit the water, they might flow a bit but their weight makes them sink almost immediately. in the beta they were literally like Spartan shaped floatation devices that would bob up and down and get carried off to sea

[@Mr.Skits94]

The Mark VI helmet looks so much better in the beta, the golden visor makes it pop.

[@BillyCobbOfficial]

Is it just me, or did the rusty look of the spartans in the beta look better than the finished clean look?

[@marranin007]

The visor looks more reallistic

[@SockEater4293]

I think the multiplayer spartans are reusing chief's worn down armor as his suit in the final is worn down as well.

[@Omega4Productions]

They probably scrapped it for the same reasons they removed the real-time reflections that Spartan visors were going to have. FPS hiccups coupled with server load.

[@Omega4Productions]

@Thunder Life Not to the extent they did in the beta or previous builds.

[@ghosttoast8610]

@Thunder Life it’s a still image

[@XradicalD]

15:50 Every time I start hearing the slide theme of Mario 64, I always get PTSD of the flintstones theme. Lo and behold....

[@spartanq201dexterbrother]

[@TheVengefulVadam]

There are numerous things I forgot to mention in this video, so what I'm gonna plan to do in the near future is make a follow up video for each Halo beta I cover to go over anything I missed. Not sure if I want to make them separate videos or have all of the Halo betas be revisited in one video. It'll depend on how much content I forgot to cover.

[@xxtrousasnakexx5362]

The Vengeful 'Vadam I would prefer seperat videos because if your talking about every Halo Beta that will take a while but if you only go over Halo Combate evolved Halo2 Halo3 and Halo reach (Optional Halo3 Odst Halo wars1)

[@skillest231]

One thing I noticed about the beta was that the colors or textures of the Spartans looked a bit different. Maybe a bit shinier? I don't know exactly what it is, but I preferred the beta Spartans look back then.

[@laurenanderson911]

skillest with halo beta colors always look better

[@MatchBoy117]

skillest that's because the colors and visor were using the campaign lighting and shading. if you notice the beta multi-player spartan model uses the campaign master chief armor with damage on the chest. the final model in multi-player is new and clean and not as detailed

[@generalofg3377]

I kind of wish there was a way to make your Spartan look battle damaged like in the beta as an armor customization option.

[@MstrMegaGuy]

H3Beta armor has more details but texture resolution is lower then the retail.Lighting is actually same but its more toned down in the retail.But VISR's definitely look better in the beta.But overrall differences is not noticable like halo5.

[@Wuunderboy]

That actually makes sense why it's called Valhalla now!!!

[@HaloFollower-Ron]

Fantastic video. Subscribed and looking forward to more videos like this.

[@EnjoyGames_]

:D

[@TheRealDuddus]

Crazy how out of a million seconds I found this old comment and decided to comment , I can’t believe the universe is this different I bet if you open your mind you can see the nexus. Don’t be shy listen you know if you want to get me off my phone I’m not working on it I’m just trying not work you want me to do it I’m tetó you just got home 🏡 I’m bout to go grab a bite to eat before I go get my

[@brycevo]

I really would have loved the two passenger hogs. Thank you for the amazing video

[@ChaplinONLINE]

WAAAaaay better than those Top-10 Halo videos. Great analysis.

[@4thechivostreamsarchive586]

Yoooo didn't expect to get "Grandad"ed in a Halo 3 Beta analysis video. GG man 😂

[@brandontrimble8307]

Awesome vid!!! Halo 3 was my favorite game and I played the beta for hours on end. So cool seeing it brought back up all these years later

[@stevenvgs]

4:01 5 Years Ago: We don't have much footage of the Pimps at Sea Alpha build. 5 Years Later: The entire Pimps at Sea Alpha Build is now out in the wild AND we have an entire hour long footage of us playing multiplayer in the Halo 3 Alpha Build!

[@CAL1MBO]

Thank you for your in depth analysis! Very interesting!

[@iRosss.]

The amount of detail in this video is outstanding

[@Ghostly-00]

Nostalgia overload. I want to go back to 2008 and play some Halo 3

[@ilexcorp]

Good job Spartan

[@justyashi42]

He is an elite

[@SkyNinja759]

20:15 You can still pickup a vehicle with another person in it. It's a bug, you have to enter the vehicle at the same time the person picks it up. I used to fly my friends around sandbox and have gausshog wars in the air.

[@yolsil775]

16:00 am I crazy, or is that a Mario Kart version of the Flintstones theme?

[@spartanq201dexterbrother]

mario 64

[@neveraaron1119]

read the description

[@Saitam305]

16:00 GRAND DAD?! Fleenstones?!

[@notnever7452]

this was a legit analysis because of how in depth you went. nice work subscribed

[@mode2967]

dude, massive props on the study work required for this vid. thoroughly enjoy and appreciate it

[@IamNOVAone]

You forgot to mention they changed the name for the medal "Cheneymania" (killing 10 opponents in a row without dying with a shotgun) to "open season" in the final release.

[@CaptainResident]

Cheneymania was gonna be for shooting teammates, not shotgun sprees.

[@DanielCollinsBachata]

I remember that. Sad they changed it haha

[@iSpiteful]

Really nice analysis. Definitely hitting that sub button :)

[@videte7345]

Goes to show how much bungie payed attention to detail for this game. And in the end it worked out for the best

[@SanativeSparrow]

Here because of Infinite gameplay trailer and the similar issue with lesser lighting than what should be at release.

[@ThommyofThenn]

Also been loving your content. Subscribed yesterday!

[@eddierios831]

Ahhh HALO 3 the most expensive beta I bought.

[@gnarllama1355]

heh heh..

[@ex0ticfr3quency33]

That menu screen though! Brings back insane memories of the good old days lol. I was still in high school and I remember buying crackdown just so I could get the Halo 3 beta. Turns out crackdown wasn’t a bad game either but the Halo 3 beta was what I really wanted to get my hands onto. The beta was a fun experience and a great way to introduce the legendary and unforgettable Halo 3. Great vid! 👍

[@danielbob2628]

I almost want to email a link to this video to some of the Halo 3 developers and ask if they can believe someone went into this much detail. You really worked hard!

[@lelouchthecoffeeguy4112]

wait WAIT IS THAT FUCKI G GRAND DAD

[@scottishbeverage6269]

FLEENTSTONES?!?!?!

[@WithRespectToX]

I remember in the Epsilon's Forge mode you could spawn Shade turrets and the sniper platforms (at least on Snowbound).

[@AeonzAgaze]

The most fun i had in any halo game was in the halo 3 beta where when you glitched into custom games you could make your character run so fast you could splatter other players as well as ramp off geometry and fly across maps. This might not be a thing that happened in other peoples short beta experience but i can assure you it did, and it was amazing

[@Cryosphered]

The shot of the TVs in Quisnam Protero Damno running an earlier build is probably due to them recording the live action segments separate from the direct-feed gameplay, and in between those times they had a later build to record which was more representitive of what the final game would eventually be, hence why everything apart from the tree trunks on Valhalla are all in the final game.

[@StrombergSchalke04]

2007, ich was 32 there already working fulltime. me and my buddy would set the alarm clock 3 hours earlier for the whole beta and played every day before work and if we could late in the night. glorious memories and thanks for that video.

[@medicyukisuna]

7:04 Melee attacks also used to do either slightly less damage than now, or shields were stronger than in the final product.

[@donovandelaney3171]

I love that we can play all the Halo Betas. Moders should be taking notes.

[@R3c0n]

What is the method for play this beta?

[@a3leggedpuppy]

i cant wait for this to come out

[@UberPanzerhund]

I thought you only did funny machinima, but your analysis and commentary are pretty on-point. Nice work :^)

[@space_artist_4real138]

That is a well informed and well thought analysis! Thumbs up!

[@kerplunk10788]

this is actually really cool. I was absolutely glued to this video. I forgot I was at work haha

[@ART1E057]

came for the halo, stayed for the high quality mario rip

[@CipherFiveZero]

I remember the Halo 3 Beta, good times playing it.

[@Mote.]

Woh @9:44 the armor texture and visor looks so cool. I kinda like that secondary color scheme in beta but im glad they didnt keep it like that so it didnt look too much like wearing pants and a shirt. But maybe they could have kept that as an option? Also i played a halo 3 el derado or whatever its called and they let you keep your secondary color in team games even when youre red or blue. I think that would have been cool but its probably for the best so there wasnt any confusion or too many colors

[@samuelarthurs4458]

That EOD is sick lol I'd like to see that actually come out

[@hiiammoot]

The RL at 6:44 is probably the G4h-Dush, which there is Halo 3 concept art for.

[@TheOutsider69]

Jesus, this makes me feel old as hell.

[@DanielCollinsBachata]

The beta trip mine was the best part lol. I used to spawn in Valhalla, grab the trip mine, mongoose to the enemy base and boobytrap their warthog. Then it was just a matter of time til I got 1-3 kills 😂 Also anyone notice how rocks were very slightly see through in the beta? I could kinda see the outlines of enemies sometimes through the rocks. Obviously they fixed it for the actual game

[@MajorityFFA]

Nice job on this. I used to study this stuff back in 07-09 too lol

[@GreatfulGert]

Excellent video! I never got to play the Halo 3 beta so this is cool!

[@dantelias9530]

10 Entire Years.

[@theguyof360]

u should make a pre halo ce video and the beta version with the jetpack

[@forteprotze]

Just discovered your channel, really great videos, especially this one + your Halo 2 beta ones. I really hope someday we get a Halo CE beta build put online for download...

[@codygreene9067]

The Halo 3 Beta was the most hyped multiplayer I’ve ever played. People were super competitive and filled with anticipation for Halo 3’s release. They were the good old days.

[@borttheattorney6012]

Pretty surreal that the pimps at sea bulid is now availabe to the public now.

[@godmachine8207]

I have been in every beta since halo 2, my favorite was Reach.

[@butterflyknifexxxx2]

Middle of the night, sitting in my room half watching this while I talk to a friend and try not to fall asleep. Get to the part with the anti air wraiths, hear the mario 64 slide music and am mildly surprised by it. It happens. Laughed so hard I wake up the whole fucking house. I'm blaming you, The Vengeful 'Vadam

[@Tesseradical17]

19:21 That preview image is not a bad idea, there are so many pieces in Halo 5 Forge that I have trouble finding and remembering the names of them. But I can see why it was cut, it would have needed a ton of image files when the player can just do trial and error.

[@colebear2874]

This video is pure gold.

[@BearOfTheDead]

You did NOT just include a GRAND DAD rip. I refuse to believe it (OK, I actually liked that little nod to SiIva).

[@BungieStudios]

The platform backseat is also lowered on the Mongoose in the Beta despite no passenger.

[@spartanforce7]

FLEENTSTONES!?

[@roflBeck]

GRAND DAD! GRAND DAD?

[@Alcatraz-pf2te]

Love your videos man!

[@TheGreatHsilgne]

Most of the video: Elaborated and described. 21:12: "Jumping looks weird."

[@Saiyan_Goku]

6:54 "Quisnam Protero Damno" means "he who tramples the condemned"

[@bro52086]

Oh man I remember this, I was just a kid when this came out now I'm 19, time flies

[@MrDylan1997-Official]

awesome video. i remember when crackdown came out i wanted to play the beta so bad and when id ownload it and played so much fun but was sad when the beta ended. anywas great videos you make and keep up the good work and i hope you do an analysis video on the halo reach beta

[@darthslushie6028]

seeing all this makes me want to cry from nostalgia, back in 2008 when I was... well 8 years old my friend invited me to his house to play with his new "X-BOX" he got for his birthday. by young mind wondered what the hell that was because all I had at the time was a ps2 and a n64. when I got there he introduced me to halo 3... my god halo 3, the game that got me into modern gaming and truly changed me and how I viewed the world. this game isn't just A GAME it's a god damn MASTERPIECE. it's a damn shame Bungie thought it was a good idea to sell the halo IP 343 because now the franchise is essentially ruined. sure halo 5 was fun and the multiplayer was okay but the the problem is is that halo shouldn't just be okay it should be your GOTY every year it comes out and for me halo barely made it to my top 5 of 2015. they better get their heads out of their asses and fix their MAJOR problems with halo 6 otherwise they are going to be the ones that are blamed for halo's mistakes. GODDAMMIT BUNGIE WHY? WHY SELL THE HALO IP!? -true halo fan that misses the old days

[@楽楽-v6z]

Can't wait until this game is released!

[@T0mBr1dg3]

Will you be doing a video on the Delta build? Or the alpha build you saw on Twitter? (Whenever lander release it to the public, ofc)

It was so fun to start playing halo 3 and just play snowbound as the beginner mode.

yeah, probably. turns out that crackdown was actually a really good game.... but lets not talk about crackdown 2....EVER

[@Dennis19901]

@@darkjusticex8117 And meanwhile we have Crackdown 3, which is a real shitfest. The Crackdown franchise got a free golden ticket via the Halo 3 hype train, but they fucking blew it. What a waste of a title that has become.

Where did you get that footage starting at 0:34? I remember seeing all of it years ago but I cant find it now.

[@Blank137]

Hi 'Vadam. I hope you read comments. Have you ever considered doing the same thing for Destiny? It had an alpha, beta, and is made by Bungie. Destiny and Halo while not quite twin siblings, are very similar to each other and I think you could have a lot of fun looking into it. There's some interesting facts I've found myself, for example in the pre-release videos you could have handcannons as a secondary. Please let me know what you think, I'd love to be able to expect a Destiny analysis from you. :)

[@TheVengefulVadam]

+Blank Thanks for the suggestion! However, I'm exclusively upload Halo videos, so other games like Destiny won't show up on this channel, unfortunately. Apologies :c

Awesome! When does Xbox Live come out?

[@MstrMegaGuy]

Same day as Halo 3 beta.CANT WAIT!!

[@jonnyc212121]

So the HUD changed each game, and we know that the original trilogy took place over the course of about 3 months. So the master chief's heads up display was constantly changing. Constantly getting updates. Therefore we can deduce that mjolinir runs on windows.
