Halo 3's Closed beta, given the nickname Epsilon, went live a few days ago, and is only for a limited audience.

"Bungie's Halo 3 multiplayer beta may have shut up shop but the fun continues today with no less then 30 - yes, that's 30 - new screenshots from the multiplayer bit of the hotly anticipated Xbox 360 shooter.

New screens for Halo 3 beta, showing some of the new weapons and levels that are in the game. There seems to be a lot more heavy artillery in the game's arsenal of weapons. Also, the Mongoose is looking pretty nice, which can seat two people, shown in another screen at Gamespot.

Some new screens from the beta test og Halo 3 have been put up. No news on who took these but they obviously want to be kept anonymous (blacking out of names on screen). More screenshots on the source for your viewing pleasure. Looks a lot like Halo and Halo 2 doesn't it? just different maps.
