Recommended Posts

Hey,

Well i figured we kinda need this thread, now more and more information keeps surfacing every day,

we're closing in on the release ... So i thought we needed a proper General Discussion thread :)

Gonna start the thread off, with an Ingame Forge showing! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/98889.html

So far, all I have to say is that my doubts about the graphics being better than gears (not them being bad) have been thrown out the window with the flood of "leaked" content. I am pretty sure I will be content when I pick this up on the 25th.

Well, gears of war seemed a lot more shiny.

I think GOW was too shiny. Halo 3 has a more realistic feel to the environment in my opinion. But then again, 7 foot spartains are kinda unrealistic to begin with.

Lol, the Gears Of War characters weren't exactly small either. :p

But I get your point. I think it looks ridiculously awesome! I never really expected much from the graphics, I always thought it looked okay. But what I've seen from the single player footage so far, absolutely rocked my socks off.

It really looks a whole lot better than I had ever dreamed of. :p

Now to get enough money to buy myself an Xbox360 in the next month. And Halo 3 ofcourse. :p

Forge imo looks a bit poor, it's looks like it's going to boil down to who can spawn the most weapons and tanks then roll over the opposition.

I'll be more interested in custom games with friends. Still an epic wait till it's released though! :(

looks like you could have some fun custom games on forge though... 2v2, one person is a monitor and one a player. as long as you can trust the other people there could be some really fun rulesets there.

Speaking of the Flood..... I wonder what Bungie has up its sleeves with the parasite of doom death and destruction. I can just picture it now, the entire earth taken over by the Flood and only the MC is left to fend for himself. Btw, he still has a gun.

Well I think Halo 3 looks awsome! Then only thing is that the game play has alot to do with it! I know alot of people say its awsome but we will have to wait and see! The halo3 beta wasn't that diff. then halo2 but like I said we need to wait till i comes in and we all play it!

Anyways I found this cool video of a phantom being shot down in game. Watch here

wow, thats interesting. i hope they make destroyable phantoms in single player, although it could ruin some of the gameplay if you destroy the phantoms (especially if you're glitching off map where they just sit often) before they put down all their troops...

that map also looks quite cool, anyone got any idea which one it is? i haven't kept too up to date on all the halo news recently and evidently missed that one.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
    • >Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. The story behind that bug would be an interesting one.
