the game feels very smooth but after playing the game for sometime i feel that it was over hyped like anything. I guess that was needed to sell the console so that Xbox360 would get an edge over other consoles.

Quick question: I know there are 8 "missions," but how many levels (read: new titles at the bottom right of the screen) are there?

I'll post my thoughts after I've beat the game, which may be a while due to track and exams.

umm, there isn't anymore levels then 10, if that. there may only be 8 to tell you the truth..

it was just like halo 2, you go down into the cave, set something, and run all the way back up the way you came.. thats 1 mission.

Sorry, I meant 9:

And I'm not sure what you call them, but there are parts to each mission. There are labels on the bottom right that break up segments... that's what I meant. How many are in each mission?

Depends on the mission. I'm too tired to check right now, but I'd guess it's between two and four. And some are shorter than others. They're called "insertion points" or something.

Halo 3's levels overall are small compared to the past two games. Not all of them, but quite a few. They're "padded" by having this repeated backtracking, up to four times through a level.

It was an excellent game, I thought, but the first half is a nonstop rockathon and the second is pretty standard Halo fare.

I got lucky with the whole Limited Edition being scratched thing, my game disc was perfectly fine (did not fall out of the slot) but the Essentials bonus DVD was a bit scratched but played just fine.

I think I'm gonna hop on multiplayer for a bit now, or maybe co-op. If anyone wants to co-op, send me an invite/FR!

Don't worry, you won't get banned. That was a rumor.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
