How Bungie is Using the Halo 3 Beta Data

This image is a "heat map" of the Valhalla map. It is an example of data samples taken from games during the beta that show where the choke points and hot zones of a map are.

The more red an area is, the more kills that have happened in that particular point. The heat maps are used to see where changes to the level's layout, spawn points, or weapon locations need to be made.

As the beta winds down, changes will be made based on the 40 million games played so far.

jesus 40m games played so far.....wow

Drew6924d ago

Yeah. The amount of time I sink into this game is ridiculous. Somebody help me when the final game comes out, because I don't know what I'll do. =(

But damn. 40,000,000 played? -Whistles-.

PS360PCROCKS6924d ago

Yeah 40 million is alot. But it's 40 million individually played. So if 8 guys play a 10 match game it counts as like 80 games. but still 40 mil is insane. This is a cool thing also that they can do this...this will make the game even better...complain now so u dont have to complain later.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy27d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
