I've got Sennheiser HD555's. They're just headphones(no mic and about 100$) but I can't play Halo without them now. I can't speak to the Tritton's you're looking at but generally I think headphones are the way to go. I hear people walking behind me, people dropping near by. I can hear exactly where shots are coming from.
And of course, hearing, "Flag dropped, flag taken, flag dropped, flag taken" while I'm running flags in Halo 3 never sounded so damn good

I have the AX 720s and they are very nice. Only thing I don't like are all the wires. My friend has the 180s and says they work well.

Action Sack's biggest problem is that it's limited to 4v4 and is frequently less than that. But yes, that plus the new veto system should be pretty decent.Rowsdower said:

Thanks for the heads up. Its worth a shot, slim chances or not.
And I can vouch for the A30s as well. The MixAmp is where it's at too. Can't believe I played with such crappy sound for so long. Really makes the gaming experience so much better. Just make sure you use the right mic on the A30s. Right Domino?Devin Olsen said:
Also, just upgraded to Bungie Pro. Now I can upload some hot Reach beta footage.

In general AA is more important than Jumps so default is perfect IMO and I'm a bumper jumper user.
Bumper Jumper staying the same and just switching equipment to AA is probably so purist or MLG types can keep the same controls and not care about AA since they likely won't use them. I can see them doing sprint though. If they do, then everyone will switch to default.

IAWTP. I have the luxury of being able to choose between HD595's or a Klipsch 5.1 set-up. For actually getting your competitive, holy-shit-I-just-heard-that-guy-reload-and-knew-exactly-where-he-was Halo on, the Sennheisers are my preference. I would liken the Senns to being "inside the helmet" since they make it much easier to focus on important aural cues.Tashi0106 said:I've got Sennheiser HD555's.

Same, absolutely love them, can't beat headphones. I have to switch to speakers so I can use my XBL mic though, glasses+headphones+XBL headset isn't very comfortable.Tashi0106 said:I've got Sennheiser HD555's.

Any ideas on how I can possibly repair a ridiculously scratched ODST disk? I've no idea how it got so bad, I didn't move the xbox when it was in, and I always put disks back into boxes carefully. It's got rings of scratches on the bottom, so I blame the xbox. I'm a student so I don't have money for a new or used one. Ideas?

Can you install it to HDD? Might not solve the problem but should let you play and use it in the mean time.

I used Twitter for more than ten seconds for the first time yesterday and was shocked the stupid thing doesn't auto-update like gmail does. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE FUCKING THING?wwm0nkey said:

Physically removed the router and put it in my room to stop my housemates pirating and getting our connection throttled again.
I will not let them ruin this for me.

Nice, whilst at Uni I used to blacklist my pirating friend's IP after he went to sleep when I needed to play.Zeouterlimits said:Physically removed the router and put it in my room to stop my housemates pirating and getting our connection throttled again.

Is there a rank lower than Steel?
Even if there isn't, I'm sure my suckiness will force the creation of it.
Rust.
Also, wow at 12 players still left in Halo 2.

Wonder how Urk will be giving codes away here... and when.

Just tried toothpaste the other day on a copy of Dead Space. Never works for me... Maybe I don't have the right kind of toothpaste.
