Bungie-Activision relations will probably be similar to Blizzard-Activision. Nothing to worry about here. Bungie owns all IP they create anyways.
Uh oh! Even with my unenhanced eyeballs, I could detect framerate drops when the camera moved through the scene quickly.
But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the weather effects.
It's actually not a big deal. Activision is only publishing, and doesn't own Bungie.
Bungie will still own all IP they create. Unlike IW's COD.
Well, this just bums me out.
Of course, the beta length is subject to change, but to know that this is their planned schedule...
Hmph. This beta is nothing more than a tease for the full game.
two days for the lucky few who get codes.
*crosses fingers
Edit required on your comment sir.
BFBC3 over Battlefield 3? Hmmm...
Some parts of the list are more than believable, but some are just nuts.
Mass Effect 3 for PS3? Where's Mass Effect 1 and 2? Will the entire trilogy come out at once for PS3? In that case, wouldn't they competing against each other? (Because there's no way all three will be released on one disk for $60)
Where's Fable 3? Where's Halo Reach? Where's all the Natal stuff?
Something is fishy here. This list is a Sony fanboys wet dream come true, but Microsoft...
Bungie stated that the final build will have stronger Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, which is quite subtle in the beta build.
So... better graphics, pretty much. Finer shadowing underneath objects etc.
Please don't feed the troll.
All the previous Gears used motion capture in cutscenes. Durr... You can tell what animations are mo-capped and what's hand-keyframed.

Open Zone is that way you scumbag. God, people like you drive me crazy on this site. Stricter enforcement is needed.
Resolution honestly does not matter that much. With the limited console hardware this generation, developers need to find a balance between anti-aliasing, native resolution, and the amount of stuff and detail they can have on screen at once. A game running at low resolution can have great details on screen. Just look at Call of Duty Modern Warfa...
The armor abilities are ridiculous - they'll really change up how the battlefield plays out. Oh, all the crazy moments that will be created through this game...
Dear Microsoft:
I would like a Friends and Family beta early access code. NAO!
I can't believe the beta's only 7 days off now! I remember being pumped for it several months back. Ah, how time flies...
Microsoft does NOT generate money from RRODed consoles.
From people re-buying consoles? They're obviously a minority, when broken consoles can be replaced by Microsoft for free as long as it's within the 3-year warranty, which is re-newed every time.
Microsoft loses money every time someone sends their box in. Of course, by now they made the process streamlined and efficient in order to prevent significant losses.
Alpha:
You can rent it for a week? It's more than possible to get the full beta experience in a week. After all, it's only four maps and a couple of modes.
You can expect a Red vs Blue Halo Reach beta edition soon. :D
Are action figures better than a 'life size' helmet you can't put on?
Hell yes!
Take a bubble (both of you). Wish you luck soldiers. N4G is a tough battleground.
For now. More will unlock later.
