Pimps At Sea (Halo 3 Alpha)

Ok where to start on this since I know that a lot of people still have no idea what was in the Alpha Halo 3 that’s not in the Beta. Well the thing is that the Beta has been stripped of many things and Bungie is greatly holding them back. What you have seen now and played wont be what you get in the final since there is still new vehicles, weapons, maps and game types that are still yet to be seen.



What I’m going to talk about is the Pimps At Sea version of the Halo 3 Alpha which was a lot different from the beta because oddly the assault rifle looked a lot smaller and some what different but they decided to switch back to the more of a Halo one like style which kind of looks better but I still like the alpha look. Also other stuff has been changed in the Alpha>Beta because mainly the beta is meant for the public unlike the alpha which was meant for Bungie and Microsoft Employees which had more content like in the internal Beta there was two extra maps Zanzibar and Epitiah. For some reason these maps were removed from the public oddly because there was no bugs in the maps and all was finished.



Also the alpha that many live regulars saw Bungie employees and some trusted Microsoft employees playing last year was tested quite a lot and only a least 500 people had it at the time. This version for some reason came with custom games, which can be seen below unlike the beta.



Also there was an odd option to turn everything in to line mode, which can be seen here



There’s still more hidden things hiding in the Alpha/early Beta version and I can say that the Halo 3 beta that is been played at the moment is just a taste of what’s to come in next few months. If anyone has or knows someone with information images or and the Alpha or early Beta it self feel free to Pm me on here and maybe we can talk more on msn.

One last thing here’s the pimps at sea article on wikipedia which also mentions Halo 3 alpha



Not sure where to put this so feel free to move it and i'm sorry if you have to :thumbsup:

The line mode shows the geometry culling in an interesting way. Not many polygons on screen eh?

 

Interesting info, thanks for sharing

 

Np a lot of the information i have found out my self. Yeah the line mode is kind of odd but could be quite good for laugh. I have heard it's going to unlocked after single player is completed.

 

i really realllly love that line mode.

 

Whoa, trippy, like a Rez FPS:nod:

 

Turok had a line mode, too, I think.

 

Yes, and Goldeneye had one too

 

Thank you for all the people that posted in the thread and if you have anything to add or know someone with more information feel free to pm me because now i'm also interested in getting a hold of any Halo 3 pre alpha, alpha and early beta builds (like the internal beta). Please pm me if you can offer help

 

Just a quick bump. I'm still looking for people with it or knows someone with more info

Thanks

 

The line mode looks very similar to the scope on the sniper

 

Yeah it does look like scope :thumbsup: Still I think the line mode will be one of a few unlockables in the full halo 3. Still looking for more info/versions of the game and I don't give up that easy :110:

 

I dont want to sound mean or anything in the least bit, but I highly doubt that "Line Mode" will be an unlockable feature. It just seems like a Debug Menu option to me. :thumbsup:

 

I haven't lost hope just yet since Bungie is known for the weird yet sweet unlockables :thumbsup:

 

Like what?

For the life of me, I can't think of any amazing unlockable in the halo series outside of the skulls - and those didn't do much. And things like the scarb gun are an entirely different story.

On another note, one of the things about goldeneye and perfect dark that still stick out to me is how cool the unloackable modes were. Oh rare....

 

There was random easter eggs and if your not counting the skulls or the scarb gun then that leaves nada left :lol:

If you weren't to keen on the skulls you won't be happy to know there back in Halo 3 :thumbsup:

Goldeneye is a classic game and it seemed to had countless unlockables. To bad rare don't make the games like used to but I wouldn't count them out just yet :thumbsup:

 

With the amazing development in the Halo 2 beta thread I thought it would be good to see if any one could help me with my thread. Always looking out for new info or even the Alpha it self

 

Do you think theres any chance that one of the microsoft employees who did alpha testing could have made a copy of the alpha and possibly leak or sell it?

 

We could maybe come to some agreement but the problem is really finding someone who has it to start with because I would imagine its one of the rarest Halo alphas/betas to find.
