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.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By sagum · Posted

      A gatekeeper is basically a company that is used by so many other (businesses) that sudden changes could impact the other business might fail. Like for example, say a car show room uses AWS to it's database, as gatekeepers amazon wouldn't really be expected to just change it's terms of conditions that would rug pull the database from the car show's business leaving them in the dark.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.

    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
