I believe they just decreased the range of the auto aim, which IMO was brilliant. More skill, less computer aid.

No, I'm not talking about the auto-aim. The rate of the auto-aim now is really good, I like it as it's not too much but seems to be just enough. I'm talking about the acceleration of the aim. When you push your stick all the way to one direction it seems to accelerate really rapidly to that direction and you can't really slow it down by going in the middle because when you nudge it towards a direction it goes too slowly, but doing it a little more and it goes full speed. In Halo 2, it seemed more 'analog' in it's motion in that you can really control the speed of the turning much more than you could in the beta. Hopefully this gets tweaked for the final.

I'm having a problem saving videos. I could do it an hour ago, but now I can't. I tried deleting a couple just to see if I had hit some limit or something, but it's still not working. Has anybody had any issues saving films lately? I REALLY want to save this one too. I did really well :(

Well when people were having issues near the beginning of the beta, where it said that the beta was over, it still allowed them to watch films IIRC. It happened to me once.

woah... thats some freaky face... maybe we'll get to see his face in campaign then if they've actually got it in the model. whats happened under his left eye (its on the right in the video, but for him its his left), thats some nasty scar that you wouldn't get if you're in one of those suits 24/7 :p

For some reason I still can't see any face in that. I just see some spots and thats it. :s

Check your brightness and contrast, and/or for example on my powerbook I had tilt my screen a little. It is there, the eyes, cheeks, and some nose, it is just buried among the black.

May be the scar is from the flood form that gets inside his suite in Halo ? Or did it get through his neck ?

magik you read the books, remember ?

Yea, IIRC, I believe it latched on to the back of his neck where his suit isn't really plated. But I don't think this would create that scar under his eye like that. Maybe the scar is from one of the earlier training missions or something like that? I'm really not sure where it could be from...

The upcoming comics might shed some light ;)

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
