There was also a "Killjoy" announcement...I wonder what that's all about.

I think that was a part of ending the killing spree, not positive though.

Topic may be a couple days old, but I highly doubt this qualifies as a bad bump.

Anyways, if you look up MrJukes on bungie.net's player profiles thing, you can see all the beta games he's played. Not only that, but the medals earned in each match, and I know everyone wanted to see some new ones.

As far as I could tell, there's been some changes to killing sprees and their names.

Killing Spree- Still the same medal.
Running Riot- Now called a "Killing Frenzy," not "Kill Frenzy" as in the multikill.
Sniping Spree- Yes, you now get a medal for killing 5 opponents in a row with a sniper-type weapon.
Shotgun Spree- Kind of lame, but you get the same type of medal for killing 5 opponents in a row with the shotgun.
Death from the Grave- This medal is awarded when you kill an opponent after you have been killed yourself. (After effect grenades and the like)
Killjoy- Halomods theorists were correct in saying that this medal is awarded for ending an opponent's killing spree (of any kind).

Those are the new ones I saw... excluding the Spartan Laser kill medal, which we've seen in the actual video itself. If you wanna check it out, just enter in "MrJukes" under Bungie.net's "Find a Player" section. He's already a captain, grade 2. Not positive on how the ranks work out, however, you guys can come up with your own ideas.

Whats a VIP game?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon May 14, 2007 5:57 pm

One person has an overshield and is flagged as the VIP. The other team must kill the VIP. Each VIP kill is one kill for the team who kills the VIP. Standard VIP games go to 10 kills.

Is halo 3's FOV even larger than halo 1's? (90 degrees)

Not sure, you can see more then in Halo 2, however.

How long is the Beta gonna be available for?

Jbregi · Post by **Jbregi** » Tue May 15, 2007 5:13 pm

Until June 6th (heh my birthday...) and then i guess they'll just deactivate the servers. I'm sure the saved films will still be available though.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue May 15, 2007 5:18 pm

Found this in a map:

The Halo 3 Public Beta is either currently unavailable, or has expired. Look out for the official retail release of Halo 3 this fall! If you want to shoot stuff and blast your buddies right now, why not try Shadowrun for Xbox 360 and Windows Vista? Find out more at www.shadowrun.com.

That's likely what you'll see when you try to play it after June 6th.

xXxCocoFangxXx · Post by **xXxCocoFangxXx** » Tue May 15, 2007 7:10 pm

Awww, I thought you would be able to keep playing it, until the real Halo 3 comes out.

Is that not gonna happen?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Tue May 15, 2007 7:12 pm

You can't play past June 6th.

Damn! That sucks!

Eh, I guess I'll live, lol

Thanks for the help. =]

Cheneymania...
That should've been "kill a team mate with the shotgun", or something to that effect... (Kill 10 teammates in a row with a shotgun without dying)
