|OFFICIAL| Halo 3 Beta Blowout


Recommended Posts

Sorry Munky for leaving earlier without explanation i had guests round the house...

Ohh man how i love Valahalla it is the best map evar :p seriously though next time you playing on Valahalla take a moment and just look at the backdrop its amazing :|

So I just played a Team Slayer match on Snowbound (which is by far my least favorite map, and I can never do very well on it)... There was this annoying little idiot that I've played with before but he was on the other team this time and he would not get off the damn Ghost. Needless to say, I hopped on it, punched his ass off, turned it around and shot him dead. Twice. It was very satisfying :devil:

Sorry I had to run so quickly last night guys, but the client I was delaying doing work for called while we were in the last match.

So I had my surround sound blasting, and he called for a different number than usual, so when I picked it up he was like "is now a bad time" and I am all like "No, No of course not," while I am trying to mute my controller, turn down my surround system, and still play.

He then said "it sounds like something major is going down there" and I was like "No, No, everythings cool," and then he was like "you sure everything's okay?" and I was like "Yes, everything is fine," meanwhile I am still trying to play this entire time. Finally he says "Larry, are you playing a Video Game while we are talking about my project?" and I was like "No, never, I would never do that, so I put my phone on mute and signed off real quick. :rofl: Sucks as I was having a good time. LOL

Oh man, busted :rofl:

I wondered where you went so fast, not like you to sign off without saying.

And yeah Green_eye, thanks for ditching me yesterday :p That game was crazy, the whole thing froze on everybody but me. All the spartans were just walking into walls and I just melee'd everyone to death :laugh: You better be on tonight! :p

Kinda a stupid question but what happens when the beta ends?

the core of the earth collapses and the world implodes sucking us all into its newly formed black hole never to say daylight again...

beta stops working/locked out of it

There was actually a glitch a little while ago that kind of revealed what happens. You press "A" to start the Beta, but if it's over instead of bringing you to the main menu it just gives you a notice saying that the beta is over.

Oh man, busted :rofl:

Yeh sorry again mate the freezing and a million guests coming over and the fact that i had to take care of 11 kids who had the stamina of a pack of brutes well that kinda worked against playing the beta :laugh:

And sorry i wasn't on tonight because i took my 360 round my mates house and i got this Game Over message :cry: i think it was his internet connection and i have yet to confirm that so wish me luck :|

the core of the earth collapses and the world implodes sucking us all into its newly formed black hole never to say daylight again...

And yeh that will pretty much happen....

That or all our balls fall off you decide :p :laugh:

Anyone who questions my warthog driving on Valhalla should be slapped lol.

Talking about Valhalla, Netrack induced one of those "This is why I love Halo" moments. I was near the middle, just crosing over to their half of the map, when I noticed a warthog in the air, spinning side over side. I had to run towards it so it would miss me. It flew over my head, off the cliff in the middle and exploded on impact. All of this because it ran over Netrack's trip mine. It was a classic moment.

:rofl: i wish i could have seen it from your view, i dropped the mine right as i got splattered and saw it go flying.....triple kill btw :devil:

Lol, trust me man, at the risk of hyperbole, it was one of the best moments I've ever experienced in a game. It seemed to stay in the air for so long.

I havent had time for the beta :/ I miss the nW games....

Same here man. it truly sucks. besides the one hour I snuck in thursday night, I have not played at all. Even worse, I have been working my regular 9-5 job, with 3 longer than usual days out of the 5, and then coming home and working on side freelance projects for 6 straight days now.

Then today, I actually had to wake up earlier than I would wake up for work during and go see a client today in NYC. 8:30 AM on a stinky sweltering subway train. Pretty much a ****ty Saturday no matter what, but what really makes it sting is this weekend I would have loved nothing more than to kick back and start the holiday weekend on a good note and do nothing but relax, chill, and kill by controller. Instead I am just completely wiped out and brain dead for all practical purposes.

So without question I am just taking it easy all day tomorrow, and I will definitely be playing at some point in the afternoon. So tomorrow is my day to relax, and if people are around lets definitely play. (Y)

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
