Halo 2 Internal Beta, Photos and Videos!
Posted By: Trunks <thatsmytrunks@gmail.com>Date: 3/22/12 10:07 a.m.


So I was clued in that an Microsoft Employee internal Beta of Halo 2 was let loose on the internet, and me being a fan of Halo and all things incomplete, rushed to find and document it. There's SO much in here, and I don't have a lot of time before I have to get to work to share it all.

So, let's start here:

[video]


This is poor quality footage taken with my iPhone 4S off a portable TV I got from walgreens playing on a softmodded original XBox.

Things worth noting:
-Different Hud
-Battle rifle shoots faster, and when you zoom in, only fires one shot at a time.
-Mongoose! Has similar physics to the Warthog, but handles like a half stick of melted butter, and tends to not actually start once you've driven it once.
-Flamethrower! Well, it shoots fire at least, but it doesn't have an in game name. Also uses batteries according to the hud.
-Vehicle explosions are insanely volatile. The warthog seems to be made out of exploding paper.

Things not shown:
-The ghost handling like shit and almost exploding every time I go up a hill
-The "invasion" gametype
-The sniper rifle with incomplete display
-Earlier versions of Waterworks, Midship, and Ivory Tower, with not too many differences, mostly just Skybox stuff.

I'll try to get some better shots later, but for now, here's what I got. I'll also try to do some decent comparison vids too. Will edit this thread when I have more to share.

Sure to be Ban'D
