Not to mention it isn't a full-cost game, so a demo isn't as "necessary." They're probably hoping the lower cost will help decide for those who are on the fence about it.

I know that's already decided it for me :p

I don't have Halo 3, so I might well buy this one for the online (as long as it's cheaper than the original)

I think you need Halo 3 in order to play the online multi player [not sure about this though]. Halo 3: ODST would probably ask you to install the maps onto your HDD which can then be accessed by Halo 3. But, you don't need Halo 3 to play Halo 3: ODST itself.

i think this series will live on for a long time. everyone loves halo and until they come out with a retarded halo game, it will continue to thrive.

At this point they could release a Halo game that would suck the chrome off an 18 wheeler truck and it would still have an abnormal amount of people playing it, loving it and defending it - Halo is now a household brand :p

Preordered my copy and can't wait for this to come out. Once I saw the recent information bungie posted about firefight I was sold firefight looks to add hours upon hours of fun after the campaign.

Pre-ordered mine two days ago. Hopefully all those goodies carry me until late October.

Who here has already done all the vidmaster achievments that you can at the moment so they can get recon when they get odst? I just did the annual one last week and already have the rest done. Although recon will probably become like hayabusa once odst has been out for a while.

You do recognise that there are Vidmasters to get in ODST as well as in Halo 3 don't you? It's not like you can unlock it as soon as you put the disc in your console.

I hope it leaks early from "P2P" and like the Halo 3 leak the CRCs are off which = massive damage :rofl:

Hasn't the scene stepped up the amount of scanning on CRC's though? I thought they were getting extremely detailed on certain releases. I can't even remember when the last big ban wave was.

:p I have it on preorder, but i'm still getting it when I have the chance :p

Ditto, preorder from Shopto with Halo Reach Beta & Sgt Johnson code :woot:

I think every Halo game since Halo 2 has been leaked by the french now lol

@Mystic, yeah there is a lot of checks and "regulations" now for game rips. Last big ban wave was November last year with the release of NXE. The next one will be in November again.

By leaked by "P2P" I mean one of those 16 year olds in his study uploading an ISO through a torrent/usenet which is probably incorrectly ripped. I'm sure that happened with Halo 3, the first leak wasn't by the scene and people got banned from it :p

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By zikalify · Posted

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

      You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
