Microsoft hit London a few days back to let gamers frolic with the latest Beta of Halo 3, which goes into a bigger public beta test real soon.
The result, according to the trigger-happy crew at Gamespot is: ‘wow’. Unlike many betas which display clunky frame rates, unfinished backgrounds and slow loading, Halo 3 played almost like the finished article in glorious high-def and with solid frame rates.
The three levels on offer were Snowbound, High Ground, and Valhalla – the same as the forthcoming public beta - with new weapons adding long awaited variety while existing weapons, like the Needler, getting a power boost.
The matchmaking facility is easier and one of the best bits – apart from the gorgeous new HD eye candy – is that you can film your games and replay them later, or upload them for friends. When it arrives later this year, Halo 3 will the ‘big’ Xbox 360 event of 2007 and keep the pressure on the troubled PS3.-Martin Lynch

Another great article Martin. Yes the needler is now more powerful but you can't dual wield it anymore.
