I GOT HALO 3.

i'll use spoilers since the game isn't release yet.

so far the game is just like Halo 2... Some stages even remind me of it (they look exactly like stages in Halo 2. I'm enjoying the game so far, and i played Local 4 player multiplayer, which was cool, a lot of stages to play on, and tuns of cool weapons.

It's a good game, i recommend all Halo fans to get it, but don't over-hype it!

does anyone know if it's possible to do 2 player local co-op? i've only been able to do it with Live...

P.S. can you actually do 16-player co-op lol, i seen "Max 16" but im not sure if that applies to campaign.

Parce que je parle francais. It's my native language :cool: (That isn't true, lol)

You must have looked forever to find an error in something, just so you can make a quick witted reply. Such a shame that you have that much spare time. Ignored!

Combining the best of both worlds and giving Masterchief a great view of your girl's upskirt, this Do it Yourself project is cheap and easy, and will let you show how manly DDR can be.

I finished My Hard Wood DDR Pad this weekend, I'll shoot video of it in action tonight... have to wait for the sun to go down to get it to be fully Black light enabled. Halo 3 Dance Dance Revolution Hard Wood Dance Surface for Xbox 360 Let me know what you think.

Fixed Link Sorry

oh, come on... be realistic, im not the biggest fan of halo but 10/10 for well.. halo their is alot better games out there for PC and some of the older games

Note: im not trying to flamebait here it just annoys me that people are overhyping certain games recently

BTW anyone who played the game before 9/25 wouln't get any achievements?.

LOL, thats not true.. i have unlocked 6 achievements so far, and already have 150 experience point from it :p

what would prevent the game from unlocking achievements? the internet connection to tell you it's not september 25th yet? lol..

O get over it!! It's a fantastic game, simple as. I feel some people just hate the game because it's Halo, I mean, what is it not doing that you'd expect it to??

Overhyped?? Of course!! Everything that's anything is overhyped.

i feel its going to be a good game but not as good as people think, its just disappointing, the fancy graphics is clawing people in and im not sure what the story will be like but i didn't like the 1st story too much and the second was worse

Once again... not looking for arguement, simply displaying my thoughts the way i do

I'm sorry but you really need to go back to the Playstation area of the site. This game is no way overhyped. Playing the beta made me more excited then ever and now here we are only hours from release and my mind is about to explode, because it's all I can think about. Really if though, what "certain" games have been overhyped recently?

Some of the previews I've read (and watched, in the form of video reviews), lead me to be cautiously optimistic about this. Some of them are almost certainly made by hardcore Halo fans, given some of the wording and the statements made.

Taking everything with a grain of salt, but definitely appears good to me. I'll be picking it up at midnight tomorrow anyway, as a Walmart is literally right by my dorm.

we'll, i beat the game (and it's not even out yet)

Extreme SPOILER!!

I finished the game the same day i purchased it, like i did with Halo 2. I didn't quiet understand the ending, why did he die? or did he? it showed 117 on the memorial, meaning Spartan-117, aka Master Chief, but did he seriously get killed off just like that?

READING WILL RUIN THE ENDING

^ Agreed.

Game looks like Halo 2.5, very polished with higher resolution graphics. Didn't get to play the beta so I have no idea how much they really tweaked the game as far as overall mechanics.

Think I'm going to cancel my pre-order for the Legendary and go with the basic version; its not worth it. Halo 2 killed the hype machine for me :p

SPOILER SO IF YOU DONT WANT IT SPOILT DO NOT READ AS IT HAS REFERENCES TO ENDING, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! :p

was wondering that aswell i mean its was a bit wtf but all good things must come to an end, even tho i didnt want it to happen in the end and wanted a halo4, it wasnt going to happen, i think bungie made the right decision in doing so. Compared to the rest of the games you could say it was more "dark" (due to the amount of deaths) at the same time it was an EPIC!

I didnt get the 117 engraved part, few questions in my mind about that such as

- Did he engrave that before dying?

- Is he still alive and that was engraved for the sake of it so he faked his own death and lived happily ever after with cortana?

- Could the arbiter have something to do with his death, last we see of him is pretty "safeish" on the frigate. But then you get the end cutscene.

Feels like an open ending, maybe there is room left for another sequel which could possibly answer these quesitons, or then again maybe not as there might not be any more halo rings. But yeah beat the game in 4 hours(on easy, pretty sure legendary would take longer) and it did seem awfully short :(

Theres only 1 thing i did not realise, Master chief is of the Spartan Race soo why the hell in halo is there only 1 spartan how come you do not see more?

^Hehe, when I bought H2, I didn't know wth everyone was going on about the campaign in the Halo games. I thought, "This is boring" but the MP kept me playing for a good 3 years.

I might be a hugh Halo fan but even I don't think the Legendary edition is worth it.

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
