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.

WilliamRLBaker6595d ago

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

Drew6595d 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-.

PS360PCROCKS6595d 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.

PS360PCROCKS6595d ago

gta_cb6595d ago

ps3gogetitt6595d ago

warhawk is not considered an FPS like Halo3 so if you enjoy flight games go for warhawk, serious FPS action then i believe halo 3 is the on eu want, i enjoyed halo 2 on my xbox and warhawk beta is fun to

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX7d ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

GamerRN6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I've been waiting for 60 to finish the game myself

OtterX6d ago

hopefully we'll know by the end of tomorrow! *crosses fingers*

dmonee7d ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard7d ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.
