[Official] Halo 3: ODST


Recommended Posts

Ah yeah true.

I guess Neowin should get ready to stop people posting impressions till nearer the time, there's been no reports of UK/English speaking EU countries selling copies in large enough numbers it's obvious if anyone here is posting spoilers they've downloaded. Unless they're French :p

I remember someone spoiled MGS4 for Sethos was it? And that was just a few days before release :/ I guess those weren't copies but so Neowin couldn't delete spoilers/impressions.

It wouldn't make sense to segregate ODST players from Halo 3 players. The multiplayer is IDENTICAL (aside from firefight, which is on the ODST disk anyway), the only difference is you get the extra maps on the disk instead of DLC. Its the same with Left 4 Dead and the GOTY edition - they are both compatible with each other, despite the content on each disk being slightly different.

Like I said, there probably isn't a playlist for the "new" maps that ship with ODST but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to play with the existing playlists since they're controlled server side anyway.

Yeah, thankfully the member was banned. He PMd me all the games major spoilers throughout the game.

We won't be seeing spoilers from me till closer to wed/thurs when we get our copies in the shop. ;D

oops wrong grayfox, there was an almost identical named member who was banned.

But MGS3_Grayfox Popisdead the 5th is banned anyway, or at least as good as :)

Popisdead the 5th, LOL.

If you're gonna play illegitimate games then at least make them yourself, so much cheaper! Actually it depends if you know the person selling :rofl:

heh

Fortunately my mate opened an Indy store so as long as I'm doing part time work there he's happy to let me take games out the back till release. :)

Unlike the guys at GAME & co I keep my mucky paws off the disc and box! ;D

Ah yeah my brother works there as well! :D

Just pulling your leg spookie, but if you do start posting impressions in like 2 days people will be suspicious without proof, just saying!

Well ******** to em, I'm not going out my way to take photos of a disc! :p

Well to be fair Spookie it takes like 2 minutes to take a picture, it's the first thing most people do when they get a game early to brag :p

I done it with MGS4 and LBP, you get all excited getting it early and take pictures! Then get abused by jealous people and those worried bout spoilers ;)

nahh just finished it, that was 7.5/10

but really Halo 3 was 9.2/10

And you're 0/10

:woot:

lol @ the very thought Halo is only worth 1.3 more than Wolf :laugh:

Maybe you should buy a game once in a while Draken. You might appreciate it more!

can someone enlighten me with more details on the firefight mode? is it similar to horde on gears of war where you just fight AI enemies over and over? me and my friend gave it a go on split screen and just had no idea what the hell was going on.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
