Bungie was kind enough to write up a nice guide for all of us that are new to the beta. The guide is split into easy to digest sections so that you can find the answers to your questions quickly and efficiently. To that end, it broken it up into several sections that you can get to quickly by clicking the links below.

Bungie’s Halo 3 Map Guide:
Maybe you’ve heard of him, maybe you haven’t… but around Microsoft, Mr. Jukes has established a name for himself as a tireless, hardcore and fanatical player of Halo who isn’t too shabby in the video production department either.
Over the last few months, Jukes’ logged an incredible (bordering on inhuman) amount of games through the internal Alpha and Beta tests for Halo 3 and he was just as involved in the first ever Halo 2 online tests as well. In addition to playing the games, Mr. Jukes also became known for his entertaining videos – most of which focused on jumping. Yes, jumping. It doesn’t sound like much but some of the jumps and tricks he pulls in the games had to be seen to be believed.
Before you check out Mr. Jukes’ Halo 3 video debut, please keep in mind that this video was produced using the internal beta version of Halo 3. This means it’s a bit older than what the rest of the world will start playing in the next few days. It also means that it has all sorts of debug text all over it – this won’t be in the version you get your hands on. And, this was fully sanctioned and approved by Bungie – unlike some of those other “leaked” videos that have ended up online.
A high quality version of the video can be downloaded here.
Irrational Games’ Creative Director Ken Levine talks Bioshock in this G4 X-Play preview.
Produced by Shaolin Productions the movie features many unseen effects, camera angles, and features not seen in RTCW gaming movies before. Four Kings, show tight team work and even tighter individual player skill as they set about destroying their opponents on popular competition maps mp_beach, and mp_village. The block busting music enhances the visual action, which in turn is synched and flows with the music as one. Onscreen action is woven together into an elaborate story which encompasses the nightmarish intro, full on constructed dual rounds of stopwatch clan war action, comprising of many demos from actual clan wars, and games from popular competitions such as quakecon2003, and a shockingly appropriate ending.
