No need to rip on the guy because he doesn't put the same amount of hours playing Halo as you dude..

Dude, it takes 2 wins to get to level 4. That's not very much effort at all.

[NoLiMiT06]

anyone know?

MY DISK WAS NOT SCARTCHED!!!! YAY! The only thing that was lose was the special edition disk and scratched. :/

[GNRambo]

**** you scarab, where the hell is the core?

Hop on the thing from the back, go up one level, and then head to the back. It should be glowing red. Keep shooting till you're sure its done

Hey, when 2 people are playing on your xbox, i get black bars on the left and right sides (i have a widescreen too)

[Meshuggah86]

That's how it's designed for Halo 3. They didn't want people with widescreen TV's to not have 16:9, so they put black bars to not lose any of the FOV.

Check this screen from halo 3 that i did

Looks like the rubber disc holder might not be good enough to hold the disc in place properly during shipping, causing it to come off and get scratched. :/

I don't know that I've ever posted here, but I've been around for a while. I just wanted to say that I picked up a legendary copy at midnight. When I got home and put the disk in it wouldn't read. I checked the back of my disk and what did I find? Really, really bad scratches! I thought I was the only one! Anyway, I went back to Circuit City and they gave me a disk out of a standard edition. :( Sooo, the image on the front of my disk looks different, but I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, happy hunting to everyone that's playing the game!

I clicked the ad right when I got home last night and I got the theme and pics for free. It's the ad at the bottom.

The theme is great and I could finally get rid of my custom made Halo 3 theme.

[rajputwarrior]

is it just the stuff that comes in the limited edition set?

[Meshuggah86]

No.

[magik]

Wow, even with tripling their server load capacity in anticipation for Halo 3 it looks like they are still having some Xbox Live outages due to the masses playing Halo 3 recently. Matchmaking has been screwy off and on all day today and now I can't even view my Friends List on Xbox.com ;)

[rajputwarrior]

yeah it was weird, i had a matchmaking game about to start and then all of a sudden everyone dropped

[spenser.d]

Well I'd just like to point out that according to the Bungie.net stat tracker, 1.1 million gamers have played Halo 3 online in the last 24 hours, racking up a whopping 4.1 million games. No wonder Xbox.com is freaking out :laugh:

My Legendary is with Parcelforce in their Newcastle dispatch, ready for delivery today :woot:

Time for a sick day.

Man this game is so addictive and so much fun. Co-op is just amazing.

Gravity hammer has become my favorite weapon and Brutes are *actually* afraid of it when you go near them with the hammer. Finishing off 3 brutes in one shot is so much satisfying :D

Someone hook me up with an article or some information about when Halo 3 is gonna come out for PC?

2 took a while to come to windows, I would think they wouldn't wait more than a month or two? I know there's a marketing aspect if you delay the two but microsoft better not be retarded and release this sh*t soon, consoles suck.

yes i searched.

There is no info on when its gonna be released for PC. Year, two, nobody knows. MS is not gonna publish a console mover game to PC soon. Just like Halo 2 took two years to come to PC, Halo 3 might take as long.

Your best bet is a 360 and the game is totally worth the money.

Posted this earlier but thought it was worth mentioning again. Has anyone experienced issues with anti aliasing in the game...and by that I mean a complete lack of it. last night I assumed it just wasn't in the game (and I had no idea why) but after reading this topic regarding the issue I innevitably followed a link to here.

All I can assume is I have the issue relating to AA. I only updated to the spring update recently since for a few months I wasn't networked so Halo 3's the first title I've really played since but boy is it noticeable. I'd take a photo but I just sent my 24" display in to get a firmware update for something unrelated so won't have that back for a day or two and figured I'd get work done rather than hook up a CRT.

In any regard, anyone got any ideas. In particullar Spartan, seeing as you work in the division, is there any word on the AA issue since the reps seemed to trail off in that thread at page two and more or less dismissed it. But yeah, playing it last night it was plainly clear the aliasing was dreadfull but not hearing many other comments I assume not everyones effected otherwise ppl would be criticising the graphics.

I'll have a closer look when the game gets back I guess and see what other games look like. I'd really prefer not to have to call support since I think a concept such as anti aliasing will go right over their head, especially when its not a hardware failure or red light issue.

[Sethos]

Yeah, they have been really sparse on the AA ... That's for damn sure.

[Smigit]

Yeah, they have been really sparse on the AA ... That's for damn sure.

Yeah, need to get my monitor back and make sure it's just halo and not some spring update after effect.

Ultimatly it doesnt matter too much in combat but...slow moments it hurts.

[Huleboeren]

That's how it's designed for Halo 3. They didn't want people with widescreen TV's to not have 16:9, so they put black bars to not lose any of the FOV.

So they shrinked the width NOT to lose any FOV?

wtf? :huh:
