Probably because a lot of people (myself included) enjoy watching movies in a non-garbage resolution and quality. You're more than welcome to just not watch them. I honestly don't understand how it's that inconvenient. I downloaded the TS one, downloaded the King of the Hill one in the background while I was watching the TS one, and it was finished before it was even over. And the customization one is only like 20MB.

+1. I'd rather download a high quality video than watch the degraded crap on youtube. Hopefully Silverlight will take off, then we might not have to worry about horrible streaming quality anymore.

My buddy pwning on the new Halo 3 Beta. 14-0 - yo!

Haha, nice to see Halo veterans transitioning over well. His grenades seem real well placed though his accuracy needs some work. (im sure you just have to have to find the right sensitivity ;) )

I don't like what they done to the battle rifle.

They didn't change much other than some cosmetic ones.

Sorry, I'm a bit uninformed.

But has the Beta started since all this "Information" pops up?

Beta doesn't start till the 16th but Friends and Family started yesterday. (basically the press and bungie picked people)

Bungie sent out the Friends and Family codes yestereday with the press blowout. Anyone who was chosen (most were randomly chosen out of all b.net users) is able to download the beta right now. You can look on b.net, they're already starting up stats about how many are playing halo 3 at a point in time and such.

The rest of the beta (contest winners + Crackdown owners) starts on Wednesday.

Are these graphics final? Or is there still allot of implementation to do since it's a beta?

Don't get me wrong they look fantastic from their current standing.. I'm just curious..

It's a beta--work in progress basically. Anything can change.

But of course, it's multiplayer. (which is known to look worse than SP from the past games ;) )

Really? From what I can remember, Halo 1 and Halo 2 multiplayer graphics are pretty much equivalent to single player.

      Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
