Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

I canceled mine when I first heard of this, but it had already been posted.

Its crazy that no QA was done on these boxes in the first place, at least there's no way they could have done anything worthwhile with them considering such a large amount are damaged. I have mine behind me but I can't play it as I have to send it back unopened :( I know its nackered as I can hear the disks smacking against the bottom when its moved.

I think most people will get it changed by the retailer or complete the game and then send it off.

At least I have my standard edition arriving tomorrow :p

In recognition of the release of Halo 3, a highly anticipated video game by Microsoft and Bungie, MIT hackers adorned the John P. Harvard statue, in Harvard Yard, with a Spartan helmet. The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the game, Master Chief, was labeled with ?Master Chief in Training.? The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder.

I love this game. Picked my pre-ordered copy up this morning, and beat it about an hour ago. Been playing co-op non-stop all day with my brother. For me this is easily the best of the Halo series. I seriously can`t wait to get online. (Y) :)

Well I just went to Costco and they were selling the Halo 3 XBOX 360 with Limited Edition pack. I bought it. $500...I hope my disk is not scratched.

Well my disc was scratched :( GameStop just gave me a new disk from the regular edition and MS is replacing the bonus disc if it's scratched. I got mine at midnight launch and I check before I drove off and I walked back up there like "I did not pay for this!" and everyone was like what!?!? No biggy though :p

So let me get this straight if I do what Spartan_X said I will have the ads on my current account as well? I will be 20 in Feb. but I still dont have ads. What the hell!?!?! Please help me.

i went to marketplace, clicked the ad, and it was charging people points.

so i went to new arrivals, and went to "33 days of Halo 3" and the blue, white, and red gamer pics were FREE (it's just a white, red or blue background with "33" in it).

the theme however, is NOT free.

You have to be clicking on the wrong ad then.

I clicked on the ad right on the main XBox Live page (ad at the bottom) and I grabbed the free theme, gamer pic, etc.

I get the list but only the pic and theme would dload. the other 2 dont respond to me seleting them.

Read those last 2 very carefully.

They state that they won't be available until 9/27 & 9/28.

No kidding. They can't seem to release anything without problems.

ya its not rocket science to test out the box either, put a few disks in and have it drove around in a car, walked around with or just generally abused. Its like 3/4 hours work at most and could have been done MONTHS ago before the game went gold.

Even if its a third party doing it, its still MS's fault for not ensuring correct QA or testing the finished product themselves. They can't say they didn't know about either because unless the box's magically appeared out of nowhere in stores someone would have handled them.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Saluton, Paŭlo. Dankon pro la ĉefartikolo. Ĝi estis interesa. Mi esploros pli pri la aplikaĵo kaj ĝia koncepto. Kompreneble, se vi konas min entute, vi scias, ke mi dirus, ke viaj artikoloj bezonas iom da redaktado! Mi ĉiam faras tion, ĉu ne? Ekzemple, la artikolo foje mencias koncepton antaŭ ol difini ĝin, ekzemple, relajsoj.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
