HALO 3 BETA UNLOCKER===========================
By Xenon.7(DeToX)H3B Unlocker, an internal version of the Halo 3 Beta Map Loader by Xenon.7 and Anthony, for non-dev use.
This tool takes a clean, retail "default.xex" from Halo 3 Beta and will output 3 modified XEXs.
-h3b-highground.xex
-h3b-snowbound.xex
-h3b-valhalla.xexLaunching one of these XEX's will force a map to load when you go to the main menu and click "Quit to Dashboard", allowing you to improperly play the beta again. Note, since it forces a map to load, you are playing local, on a temporary profile, on the gametype Assault, until the timer runs out, then you can restart the XEX.. This patch is mainly for testing purposes and some modification testing.

-Tool will auto detect if the XEX you opened is not a clean
one, and will not proceed if it isn't, unless specified.

expire and unlocked custom games menu to select any map,
gametype, etc.
