Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL


Recommended Posts

Threads Merged.

It really is not a matter of picking and choosing what news deserves it's own thread and what does not.

If you really feel it is important news, submit it to the Main News section. :yes:

Otherwise, please continue to post here, people do actually read it.

The community voted to do it all in on thread. If you have changed your minds, I will close this thread, and let the chaos ensue with 30 threads a day.

Your choice.

So I know some of you know about the disc problem that plagues some of the DVD's that were shipped with Halo 3. I was unlucky enough to be one of them (even though it was working before!).

In any case ... after reading a lot on the 'net about what to do, I received some strange instructions:

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  • Place DVD, label side down in the pan.
  • Use a wooden ladel to push the DVD below the water.
  • Wait about 10 seconds. If you notice smoke from the DVD, this is normal (I was scared when that happened, I thought it was melting).
  • Take saucepan off heat and carefully remove DVD.
  • Place DVD, label side down, on some paper towel.
  • Take a lint free cloth and gently clean the data side.
  • Your DVD should now look like new!

The funny thing is ... it actually worked for me. No longer am I getting the "Players failed to load content" error, or "Failed to load game". I can actually play Halo 3, once again! :)

I'd be way too scared to try that. My disc also got scratched, I just used some Braso, and washed it under warm water and now it works! Though you have to make sure you whipe the disc in strokes from the inside out.

I find it easy to get use to. But after playing shooters on the PC for 9 years (gah has it really been that long?! :() it's really hard to get it to a proficent level.

Don't worry, I played Pc FPS' for a good 5 if not more and I can vouch that a 360 pad is just as good. Yeah of course it'll take a little bit of time to adjust, but so it did when you first started playing on the PC.

I have to disagree. I have a MX510 mouse, the DPI is insane, it is unbelievably accurate on team fortress 2. But the pad is sluggish and is no where as quick and dead on as my mouse.

It feels almost like I'm having to un learn in a way to be accurate with a pad. :/

Hell just froze over?

Looks quite sunny in Liverpool from here unfortunately.

p.s. Mods merge this if you want to. But I believe this is something *really* special.

Again with what you consider Big News, submit it to the Main News Desk. Seriously, it only helps the community on a whole as well, so truly feel free to submit it.

Just curious as well, where is the source for those Japan numbers, all I see is another Forum being linked to with a post? I cannot find the Source there.

I am sure it exists, just would help for anyone looking to submit it, which I will if you guys do not want to.

And please guys (and gals) understand, I really am not trying to be a dick by enforcing all of this.

It is just we have had a system so far, it has worked brilliantly, so I am just enforcing the system that has proven to work.

It is nothing personal, it is not I do not think certain things are big news items, nothing along those lines at all.

Just wanted to put it out there, all I am trying to do is mantain the organization we have had for the past two weeks. That is all.

I know people want the news they post to be read, but I can pretty much guarantee and tell you since I moderate this section, people are reading this thread more than any other thread.

Especially with 23,775 VIEWS!!!!

Cool. Not sure what it says, but it is clear Halo 03 is #1 from what I see, unless they start at 10 and count down (j/k)

Before the sun sets, you will have driven Larry mad with all this merging.

Tell me about it!! :laugh:

See above, I added to my post.

It is not mad at all, just trying to keep some organization that I feel has worked quite well since we implemented it. Thats all.

Numbers will be on this link tommorow:

It was a slow software week though, so it's not a big surprise that Halo sold the most (even if it wasn't that much). Halo 2 did okay in Japan too. 59,000 is approx 14% of the 360's userbase in Japan.

Before the sun sets, you will have driven Larry mad with all this merging.

Tonight he will take out his vengeance on everyone (including me) who started a separate thread. :| Look the Demon is here :o

ok ive finally got xbox live working at uni, but it does have trouble searching for games, it found 30 earlier and 0 possible, but did well on Slayer and capture the flag. got a triple kill, and also a double with a laser, that was pretty awesome. But yeh add me on Sharpy2k4 ill try get on and i should be able to connect to the game if i get invited.

That's pretty awesome man, thanks for that. I think I'll use one of those :)

I think I'll try to make my own as well, sort of combine the overall Gamercard info with Halo 3 Bungie.net info. Should be interesting... I've never done one of these before, but could be a good learning experience ;)

You might want to check out my old gamercard script i made way back as well, might help you some, though the code isnt nearly as clean as what I'm using on the halo stuff

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
