|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

I'm on PST, but I'll stay up late if I have to to play with you guys. I can't tell you how much more fun it is to play with people you know versus a bunch of strangers. Not to mention we seem to kick everybody's ass when we are on the same team :)

Fixed my name for you. :p

Haha, but yea, I was pretty annoyed because we had a really good group going and that last game on Valhalla was a lot of fun, so I definitely didn't want to leave. But, alas, I had to get it done before it got dark and since the pick-up was the next morning. Ah well...

BTW, I think we should set up some consistent time that the majority of Neowin players are available and can go online. That way we can have some Neowin matches every night, if possible. What do you guys think and what times are good for everyone? I'm usually able to go on anytime after 6pm EST.

im usually on by 730 or so

My God i just realised how annoying the kids/morons are on xbox live i mean id encountered these beasts before on Call of Duty 2 but here theyre just pure morons i had a kid say he was gonna jack off in my face :s one kid who could no controll the volume of his voice :blink: and another who thought the game was a kareoke session :angry: so i beg thee fellow neowinians let os unite and have some games together because the rest of the halo comunity bar some really SUCK....

im on from 7pm GMT ill be on around the time Munky is...

Green_Eye I know I should not laugh at that, but when the kid joined the game, trash talk from the begining and then he comes out saying he wants to jack off in your face, it was amusing, but that game was full of kids screaming, shouting abuse. But that aside most of the games, have been quite good, most people wanting to Co-ordinate attacks, and those couple of Territories games went well for us.

I will be around again tonight, and I suggest if there is not 6 of us Neowians, then we should play the smaller team games, so its only us on our team.

See ya later.

Unfortunately not sure I am going to get to play at all the next few days. Besides work, I took on two freelance jobs and both clients want their designs before the Holiday weekend coming up, so I am basically working the next few days and nights nearly 24/7. I hate money, but need it.

:o Shouldn't that be "I hate work, but I need the money" :p

Lol Greeneye, I know you were getting really p***ed at that kid last night, but I couldn't but laugh a little just because it was such a strange thing for him to say. Thank god I don't hear these morons during the matches :laugh:

I'm on usually after 7 or 8 GMT, I'll stay on late to play with you guys over the pond if there you're online before 3am GMT

This is when the Reputation ratings come in handy. I just had a jackass singing the last round I paid. I told him to be quiet and he replies "Why? Because my score is better than yours?" to which I foolishly replied "No, because you sound like a 9 year old who's testicles haven't dropped yet".

The point of my rambling is, I submitted feedback on him and said he was abusing communications. Conversely, if i come across anyone who does nothing but make my experience more enjoyable, I make sure to jump on and give them positive feedback.

It takes about five seconds to mute somebody. And believe me, that's a whole lot more effective than asking them to stop.

Heh. I was playing BTB the other day. One of the guy who ended up on my team was blasting some undiscernible music. Annoying as hell. I took the 3 seconds it takes to mute him. Unfortunately I had another idiot on my team who, despite me telling him about the mute function, proceded to keep telling the guy to stop it and calling him a f****t the whole game. Surprisingly, I think my team won that game.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
