Favorite Halo 3 Beta Moment

Submitted by Mintz on Tue, 06/12/2007 - 11:01pm.

So I spent a good half-hour submitting (what I thought was) a concise, well-written story of my favorite experience during the beta for a contest. It was only after I submitted it (of course) that I realized the stories would be chosen at random.

Because of the possibility that nobody will ever see it, I thought I might as well share it with you guys. Midnight will recognize it. Enjoy:

It started out like any other game. Valhalla faded into view, and I set out to begin my path of destruction. My teammates ventured to capture a territory, but my journey of mayhem began with man's best friend: the M12-LRV Warthog.

I eased into the comfy leather seat, gunned the engine, and began touring the beautiful canyon. Reckless driving is a great passion to indulge in, and the Warthog is the perfect vehicle to satiate that thirst. I spun donuts, rolled over hills, and even let a man gun the turret.

It was at this moment I realized I wanted to do something great. Wouldn't it be remarkable if I could splatter an enemy? The vehicle seemed to steer itself to the enemy base. Hey, there's a little hill right in front of their base! Who needs to run over enemies if you could land a sweet jump? I just need to align the 'hog a little, get some speed... Hey, is that a man going off their man-cannon? Is he flying right in front of me? *WHAM* Whoa! I have a new hood ornament!

Did anybody else see that!? Save your replay! Man, multiple perspectives never get old...

What was your favorite Halo 3 beta moment?
