Sikh Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ^ Your confused. You DONT need halo 3 for this game. This game goes so far to include a Halo 3 Multiplayer disc. So unless you play halo 3 campaign you wont need it anymore.

Ayepecks Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 You want your $60 back? Why is it that whenever someone makes a critique of a popular game (read: Halo) that there's a knee-jerk reaction?

+Mystic MVC Posted September 28, 2009 MVC Share Posted September 28, 2009 My friend and I are a good ways through the campaign. I don't know when we will get to play it next but we just passed the level where you needed to get 15 headshots for an achievement.

Remysaus Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Microsoft stated that all people who: "...use external methods with a PC to unofficially put a SGT Johnson addon to their profiles are trackable. The used code can be read and we are aware of the current codes being exploited. All profiles using these codes will be banned permanently from the Xbox Live service." just a heads up people.

Neztea Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Microsoft stated that all people who:"...use external methods with a PC to unofficially put a SGT Johnson addon to their profiles are trackable. The used code can be read and we are aware of the current codes being exploited. All profiles using these codes will be banned permanently from the Xbox Live service." just a heads up people. Source? Cause I'm googling the hell out of it and can't find anything. Edit, Also, if microsoft can't determine if the xbox's hard drive has been tampered with by now, I don't think they can really read the hard drive while your online. So I think this may be bogus until you provide a source. neztea Edited September 28, 2009 by Nestea_M@n Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/679790-official-halo-3-odst/page/30/#findComment-591634138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ayepecks i don't think V-99 meant it aggressively, it's just that he likes this game and wants to stand up for it. just like talking about MS banning people invariably gets a response from the pro-mod/pro-hack lobby etc. i don't even know what all this Sgt Johnson hoopla's about. What's the big deal with people adding him to their Halo save files anyway?

What's the big deal with people adding him to their Halo save files anyway? Cause it was a pre-order bonus apparently. And you could only get it if you pre-ordered the game from select retailers, which is complete bogus in my opinion cause not all stores would offer this. But Still, without a source, I think that this is just all just made up. I tried searching for an official source from majornelson.com / microsoft.com / xbox.com and still haven't been able to find any tangible leads.

Unrealistic Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I doubt it is made up. If you use a redeem code to get the content, they can easily verify if you didn't use a code to get it. Their system is closed/proprietary for a reason.

So far I think that this may be made up. Also, when the marketplace first opened up online, there were loads of glitches that occurred in which people downloaded bonus materials for games that were not verified for. Yes, Microsoft did do some action towards those members, but others who said that they downloaded it have not had any of their content removed from their hard drives. Once on the hard drive, always on the hard drive. Edit: can say that a friend had done it, and so far he hasn't been banned whatsoever.

I meant to ask a genuine question, "do you feel you got your moneys worth?"Sorry ayepecks. Gotcha -- no problemo! Yeah, I gladly paid $60 for this. I think it's more of a $40-$50 title since I already had the multiplayer with Halo 3, but I don't regret the purchase. But the graphics are still fairly dated. Hopefully Reach will utilize a new engine (or heavily modified/updated).

neoadorable Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 i agree with most of ayepeck's observations, it's a good game that has some very obvious shortcomings - mostly the short game time and rehashed MP. speaking of which, every time i play team slayer ranked it goes to the same map - i always forget what it's called. but it's just that one, not like Halo 3 which cycled through a few of em. nestea, doing all that stuff is pretty juvenile. i mean all that for a skin? i understand the need to defy authority, but it's not like anyone's forcing them to play this particular game to begin with.

Man, if I ever get some spare time I'd love to try for all the online achievements with people, but it doesn't seem like I do. After I get off work I go work out and I never get home until 8 p.m., and I have to get up at 6 a.m. weekdays. Gah. I'll have time one weekend, I just don't know which one.

+Mystic MVC Posted September 29, 2009 MVC Share Posted September 29, 2009 Guys weird question for everybody. Now because I have ODST, do I need to have the old free Halo 3 DLC that I downloaded on my hard drive? I was just clearing things out on my hard drive and realized that DLC might not need to be on there. Now I digress. Who else has installed ODST to their hard drive? I can't believe it only takes up 3.5gb! My 20gb hard drive has over 6.1 gb's free on it. It hasn't been this empty ever. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/679790-official-halo-3-odst/page/30/#findComment-591637622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
