Halo 3’s Multiplayer is Being Tested

Multiplayer mode looks to be testing already as Frankie from Bungie.net tells us in Bungie’s Weekly Update.

Lars, one of the new(er) multiplayer designers, has a regular multiplayer test in session now – that happens every day – and with surprisingly polished-looking graphics, although I’m told a lot of the textures and decorator objects are just placeholders at the moment. Could have fooled me.

The multiplayer test lab is still packed full of old-school 4:3 480i NTSC TV sets, which tells you two things. One is that we’re making sure this game looks awesome on non HD sets, and two, that there is always a crazy rush to get to the sets that are HD during those sessions.

It would be pretty bad if multiplayer wasn’t being worked on already, but since they’ve been working on this “secret” project for over a year now (which turned out to be guess what? Halo 3) multiplayer seems to be alive and kicking. Hopefully we will get some screenshots or movies in the upcoming months because I’ve been waiting to see this game in action and what the 360 will bring to Halo. This is great news for those waiting to see if Halo 3 is actually coming together as it’s supposed to be coming out in 2007.

We’ll be sure to keep you informed as more news about Halo 3 becomes available.
