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'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.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By fishnet37222 · Posted

      It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.
