I get custom games by joining someone else's custom games(there's almost always someone in a custom) and then leaving. For some reason after you leave you end up in the custom games lobby.
Custom games are fun as hell. Now if I could just get a full party to join. The custom options are vast, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I played Zombies last night. It was funny because with H3's new customization options we actually made the zombie[s] slower with a lot of endurance and the humans faster but weak. It was awesome. I was the last human standing thanks to the gravity lift hehe.
I also played Ninja Flag and Tank flag. Awesomeness. The other VIP games are fun. Much more fun, entertaining and actually made more sense than the version we get to play in matchmaking.
Love@Bungie.
If anyone wants to join my custom games I'll be on at 7pm. GT's Blue Idiot.

I haven't seen Zombies, what is it?
Its when you have one team full of 15 people (assuming its a full game) and the other team with just one person, who is the zombie. The one person is armed only with a sword and the 15 people on the other team have smgs. Once one person with an smg is killed he switches over to the zombie team. The object is to be the last one standing or turn the entire team into zombies

Weapons always took skill, just more so now,
no recoil + auto aim + 4 chances to get a head shot = no skill
and unfortunately.. more than the sniper had this nonsense (such as the sword and rocket launcher)
but I believe you said you're a console gamer in the clan thread.. so its really no big deal
now if only they had 'rounds' like counterstrike.. we wouldn't have all that spawn kill nonsense
I am more of a console gamer.
Now, once again, I brought this up earlier too, about the possibility of more than one Spartan, well, I was going through some Halo 3 pictures on Bungie.net and found something intriguing, it is the first and so far only campaign picture that has been released by Bungie, and I decided to zoom in for a closer look. So I obiously went to the helmet, and look:
Maybe it is just me again, but I swear, there is a Spartan being reflected in his helmet! It is hard to see, but I am so sure it is there!

The SMGs recoil was over the top though. It made no sense to have a Spartan with superior strength be unable to hold the SMGs recoil in Halo 2 when a human female(Miranda Keyes) is able to dual wield them and fire without having the recoil **** her up.
In Halo 3's beta the auto-aim has been severely toned down and there's a slight delay in between shots, which might not sound like much but in the multiplayer haloverse it means everything.

The sword has been severely toned down. It pretty much sucks now. Rockets are rockets. It would make no sense to make a rocket weak, unless you're just talking about the auto-aim and that is already out.

...Halo always had rounds. Just play elimination?

The beta does feel much more balanced than Halo 2, and that is a step forward.

The lunge is shorter and it looks a lot different on the HUD, and the sword itself looks different even while on the ground. That is all I have noticed.
You forgot to add the in the beta the sword has limited energy/ammo/whatever. And also you can't lunge at an opponent inmediately after you switch to your sword; the reticule doesn't turn red until the energy blade is out. It also has terrible hit detection.
Oh yeah, forgot about those. About the terrible hit detection thing, I remember I was in a custom game with some friends and it was just swords on High Ground, and I honest to God lunged at the same person three times in a row, I heard the sound that it hit...but he didn't die, then he turns around and slashes me in the back!
