Frankie over at Bungie reports in that the Bungie crew are playing regular Halo 3 multiplayer sessions nearly every day now. The Bungie folks have also gotten there hands on a single player mission.

Paul Bertone, one of our lead designers, let us play something that blew our minds. That was single player, and from a mission very early in the game. And one that takes place before the events seen in the E3 trailer, but 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 placeholder 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.

Damn Bungie and their internal play-testing. Just friggin put that beta out on Marketplace, we'll help them out with a few run throughs. —Brian Crecente
