Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

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 ?

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
