This week's regularly scheduled Bungie update features some interesting info about the upcoming public beta of Halo 3. In addition to detailing some of the maps for the third Master Chief blast-a-thon—that may or may not make it in time for the beta—Bungie's Frankie teases the beta set with fancy-shmancy split-screen play and a feature he refers to as "Saved Films."

Simply describing the Saved Films feature as "very, very, very limited" in the beta, the name would imply a game recording feature that would (we hope) allow players to record, save, and upload multiplayer matches for posterity. Recording is already a fairly common feature in a number of first-person shooters and will surely be a welcome addition to the world of Halo deathmatches.

There's a lot more to read and some intense Spartan eye-candy to take in in the form of the above pic, suitable for wallpapering at 4008x2258 resolution. Michael McWhertor
