The Halo 3 multiplayer beta has already undergone one update, Bungie this morning making some small changes that bring with them both good and bad news.
The good news is that the appearance of Team Slayer games in Team Skirmish mode has been significantly decreased. "This means more High Ground CTF for Beta gamers," explains Bungie.
Unfortunately, the update, which you must install to continue playing, will invalidate your current saved films and empty your file share. Admittedly, this will only effect those lucky enough to have got on the beta test ahead of the public launch, which goes live at 1pm today.
The purpose of the update was "to ensure that we are able to make subtle or dramatic changes to the game on the fly, in order to react to problems we could encounter going forward.
"Don't worry, we will try to keep these updates to a minimum throughout the course of the Beta," promises Bungie, "and naturally we don't plan to wreck your films everytime a change is made to the game."
Bungie this morning confirmed that the full and complete Halo 3 will launch on September 26. Excite!
