Halo 3: Multiplayer Beta

I entered the Beta through my copy of Crackdown, Agent. I played two matches on the evening of Wednesday May 16th before the service became unavailable and recommended me to play Shadowrun. :P

The service was back up and running on Thursday May 17th and I played about a half dozen Rumble Slayer games.

Initial impressions:

• Matchmaking options seem even more thorough
• Looks a lot like Halo 2. Update: A pretty detailed comparison of both games' graphics.
• Use of the shoulder buttons on the Xbox 360 controller is welcome
• I didn't expect to enjoy using the re-introduced assault rifle but I do :-)
