That Halo Reach 360 controller looks pretty sweet. I like the silver, and the design is quite nice as well. The console itself doesn't really do it for me, though. I just prefer the black system with none of that weird text across the front. If they had a black console instead of the silver one, I would be awfully tempted to buy the package for $400 USD (system, Halo Reach, 2 controllers).

I miss the Halo 3 green though. :p

My second X360 before it died and I returned it. :wub:

I sadly traded that in for the new slim. Couldn't pass up the deal and 250GB drive, just too awesome. The Reach one almost hits the spot, but honestly by the time it came out the amazing deals would have disappeared. Not to mention what is the point of getting the limited edition if the console comes with the game, too?

So pumped for this game.

Pre-ordered legendary a month or so back, the wait is killing me :D. Always been a big Halo fan, but this game looks to be the greatest of them all, even above the epic experience that was CE.

I'll be brutally honest here. I'm not sold on Halo: Reach. I did play the Beta. I do intend on buying the game. After being an owner of all the Halo's...Reach (yes I know it's a lot different) just didn't feel so accurate. I felt lag almost a bad as Gears of War 2 during launch and the game modes, I'm not sold on them. I was thinking about getting the higher edition that's not Standard but I'm not sure about that.

Does anyone feel this way about the game? I'm looking for some hours of dedication insight.

I mean no disrespect to the Halo fans, but I really wouldn't worry too much if you're expecting it to be drastically different to the previous Halo games. Bungie has kept the gameplay and mechanics roughly the same throughout the franchise, and I don't think they'll take a step backwards with netcode or anything that they have already laid the groundwork for this generation.

true, I don't think there will be any groundbreaking new gameplay changes. They mentioned that the netcode is improved a lot in comicon panel.

The music was a little underwhelming in that trailer but the footage was epic! Cannot wait for this game :cry:

seriously! It looks epic and beautiful! (even if you take off a few points for any PP that they did on it)

You missed that thing?!

I can't wait to replace mine with a Slim once I finally have more disposable income.

It looks like a childs toy IMO.

I was talking about the musical score? I agree that the graphics are epic and beautiful just that the musical score for the trailer didn't fit the pace of the action going on in the trailer.

Looks alright, shame I never got to test the Beta to make up my mind.

Will there be a demo of sorts? Else I'll have to skip it.

Nah theres never a demo for halos but I honestly urge you to at least rent the game when it comes out because

you will not regret its pretty intesnse and the new forge is going to give me at least 4 years worth if not more!

We unfortunately have no places to rent games from around here - I rely heavily on demos.

And every Halo game is minor upgrade of the last when it comes to the 'feel' of playing the game ( Not talking features ) and it's the feel

of the gameplay that matters to me. So I'd like to see if they hit the sweet spot or not, I refuse to shell out ?30-40 to crash test it.

So hopefully I'll find a way to give it a try before I buy.

Well if you do, understand that It feels different from past Halo's (talking from the beta) however still keeps the same core gameplay

Armour Abilities change the game a ton and give so much more strategy as if you play with a team you get the most out of them working

together with seperate AA's =)

It really is quite fun and its got much more gameplay changes than Halo 3 Had

To put it short, its not just a graphical upgrade

But thats just my Point of View =D

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
