any link as to where this beta may be obtained?

I always wanted to try it.....and it shouldve been out for PC a LONG time ago....

I have played the beta, 1.5 to be exact
it looks really good
feels pretty darn good too only has LAN support for MP, but single player is still hella cool
I'm gonna pipe it to the TV tomorrow morning to see what it looks like there

I have a few screen shots on my geoshities site

you can see there are still some bugs in the beta, but other then some artifacts and some walls that are invisable

it's not too shabby

I have everything cranked as high as it can go in the screens and the game runs pretty smoothly
when this comes out I am SO goin to buy it!!!

later!

My thoughts on it, CRAP. Runs like shit, missing textures, missing solids.

Lets hope they fix this before the release.

It's a BETA, and a leaked one at that, so don't be too critical.

yes...beta... meaning it's not complete lol
and what kind of card/Rig are you running it on BuSHyFr0?
I'm running an AMD XP2600+, 512DDR400mhz and my Radeon 8500/128
smooth as silk

yes there are missing textures/artifacts and the likes
but ah hell, it's only a leaked beta !

it'll do me till the real deal hits the shelf

Well the full version just went Gold apparently, so it should be out in several weeks. I cant say that im very excited, mainly because this game should have been out a long long time ago.

the game is ok
its missing some textures
not worth the 410 meg download
just wait until a better beta is released or the official thing

there you go voodoo, I don't know if anyone else has uploaded or is uploading it to you...
but I started just now

sorry for the lateness, University has been crazy this week
but I am done my test (more then likely failed)

and have time for the comp, which means you get halo!

provided you don't get the blue screen of death again...

I tried it for MP and it has some bugs...
heed my warnings...
your game will suddenly cease in the middle of playing...
your computer may decide to reboot while fragging and things might just freeze up altogether!

cheers!

Yeah it runs like dog crap, has invisible walls and other minor problems, but yeah it's a beta, I'm looking forward to the real thing tho...

Demrok · Post by **Demrok** » Thu Sep 25, 2003 9:57 am

ahhhh
well i think it got to you alright this time

and it runs really well for me, except for where I am now in the game...
seems to hang and not let you play the game anymore....

it's the "silent cortographer" part where you hop into the pelican for extraction...

I get into the jet and that that.... plays the little sceen and as they go into halo's inside and that's it...
stops...music plays, but nothing else goes...

anyone else had this problem, or have you not played that far

Actually the only messed up textures are on the ship. Once on the planet it looks fine.

Looks so good I have to keep myself from playing it any farther and wait for the retail.
