Well folks, it looks like the Joke is on the pirates - apparently the "leaked" ODST is actually the French version. Complete with french voices!

Yeah but ... that's because it was a French store that accidentally sold the game early ... so yeah it makes sense the leaked version is in French.

French is pretty easy though. :p

after playing Halo 3 online again.. I begin to realize that I won't be buying this full price. I'll probably get it when it when the price goes down in a few years, because I want to save for MW2.

The game would look much better if they didn't decide to go with a film grain effect that you can't turn off, quite frankly the only reason I could think for them doing this was as a cover up for the fact that at this stage the graphics should have significantly improved...and they haven't or to make it look more gears of wars'ish

If game makers want to skimp atleast do what 2K did with Bioshock and give me the option of turning of the bull**** film grain, if prefer to deal with overly shiny textures over making everything look like it was rendered with the dirty camera lens filter on.

Well, I played it today. You play for 10 minutes and can choose what difficulty you want to play. The highest score achieved for just one player so far was 20,000 in Seattle by a game tester. I got 11,945 or something like that and my team had a total of 17,845 or close to it. I played at Johnson and it was pretty sweet. I noticed the grenade lobs are no where close to how they have been in Halo 2 and 3. You have more life then you actually think. Melee is a little weaker and the pistol can shoot very very quickly. You can choose from 3 maps but I just stayed on whatever the people before me had. I used a sensitivity of 8 and used Bumper Jumper. The graphics look a lot better. I couldn't record or take pictures of the game because it would hurt the games "image" because of camera quality if you were seen taking a picture you got booted out of the car. Overall, the game is worth it...any questions and I will answer. Also, if you got first place on your team you got a license plate cover saying: "My other car is a warthog."

Here are some pictures:

what are the boxes?

You can't take pictures inside the vehicle because it would ruin "the graphics of the game." If I was to take pictures I would have been booted out of the vehicle and couldn't play so of course, I kept my iPhone to myself.

I assume he means the boxes outside of the truck on the ground ;)

I'm not exactly sure what those boxes were on the ground for, I believe they were for something for the event obviously but no idea exactly to what. I'll give a more thorough wrap-up of the experience at a later date, I was in a rush to post that to let you guys know what happen and all that. Anyways, I won't be back until late Monday night so with that being said...I'll figure out a way to give you who are interested a better outlook of the game..

My first impression to be honest was: This is not "Halo 3.5 or Halo" at all. It is in it's own little world.

@Lex: Yeah I wish they didnt just hire any teenager for a Game store and Fusion if you go back say your talking about the "Sgt Johnson pre order that you get WHEN YOU PICK UP THE GAME."

Tell them it literally says "Available at time of purchase, limited supplies". Thats the same thing it says to us(GameStop) and we didnt get ANY in yet. As far as i know thats the only REAL bonus that every company is getting. Other is Reach but that is gonna come inside the game. I dont think there is any other bonus but walmarts own special bonuses(like the lanyards for gow2, only they had those).

As far as I know, target and bestbuy are getting the same "pre order and get SGT Johnson" bonus. Thats it. If anyone else knows different let me know.

@Drown: I will be playing it the 14th I hope. Cant wait, ill be driving 100 miles there and 100 back just to play this game when it comes to chicago. Cant wait. Hopefully I dont work lol.

Hopefully 10 minutes of game play is worth it depending on the line.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
