thats where I'm up to. Man I hated the part leading up to that lol.

spoilers tags people!!!!!

and yeah i just finished it, awesome ending:) and the final level was great, and the second to last level sucked.

SPOILERS COMING!

the one where you are going up the citadel, i agree with IGN on that one. But the game is awesome, for a while i thought cheifie was dead but it made no sense but of course you have to wait until the end of the credits to see what actually happens. I am glad there is hope for more :)

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.

i agree that an xbox is worth this game

I never got a chance to post this since I just got into playing, but my NORMAL edition was scratched.

I put in the disk, Got Disk Unreadable error.

Wiped it off, intro starts and the music is skipping like mad. Menu music is also skipping.

I get out my fiber optic cloth, wipe it really good, noticed it is scratched like mad.

Turns out that little security device never stuck, and the disk itself got loose, so they were playing footsie's with each-other.

I finally got it to work no issues, but I am returning it this weekend for a replacement, as that is unacceptable.

This is in response to this news about MS offering Disk Replacements.

Bunch of threads merged again as well.

I had a great time last night on Halo3 :D it was awesome. My friends spent a lot of time fooling around :| (as in we beat the first mission 4 player online co-op and then in the second mission they just were making humping motions to everyone in the control room :|) never got around to beating the story when ever I'd go to do it myself I'd get a bunch of invites, and everyone wanted to play online not co-op. We had way to many friends on and our party was to big for ranked matches so it kind of sucked that I did not get that far but tonight I'll finish the story on heroic, maybe legendary on co-op if I can find someone who wants to.

Edit: If anyone wants to play Co-Op on Legendary tonight let me know

Damn, Microsoft must be loosing millions on all these failures, I mean how hard can it be to make a case where the disk stays in place.

I hope my one isn't scratched, I ordered the normal edition, and if I had my way it would be flown in by stealth bombers and guarded by Jack Bauer. But Charlie the Postman will probably drop it and go over it on his bicycle a couple of times, before snapping it in half to get it through the letter box.

what time zone are you in? and what time do you plan to play?

I'm in Central. I'll be on tonight at 4:30PM Central with a short break for dinner in there until 8:30PM I got to go pick up my girl and she will probably come over for a bit. 11:30PM Central I'll be back online at the latest, then I'll be on till at least 2AM

Millions? Their replacement plan gives you a disc only, not a new case. Last time I checked, discs cost next to nothing to produce.

I am loving this game ! :cool: Only letdown so far is the music. It's pretty much Halo2 recycle.

Anybody tried capturing screenshots ? :huh: I did a few and don't seem to find them anywhere on my bungie.net account! (It did say uploading to bungie.net when I saved ea of them)

During campaign replay, I couldn't figure out a way to rewind! Is it even possible ?

      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.
