Not even close, though Halo 2 tank flipping was a blast, the Halo 1 physics that allowed your hog when you smashed into someone to blast off like a rocket into the sky was so much fun.
Nope everything in Halo 2 was better :lol

trolling right now :)

Except I based my "press release" off of actual press releases, so yeah.

Also someone actually had went and posted my press release on /v/ shortly after I posted it here.

They have some content planned for the fall. Might be a Halo remake, might be a big map pack of remakes, who knows. But I'm guessing we'll be playing something new on the anniversary.

Tip for the 40k Firefight Challenge today: 2X Score Attack on Beachhead. Rock the DMR, get a lot of multikills, you'll get one or two Wraiths at the end, and if you're lucky a four pack of Elite Ultras, who are practically bursting with points. (I came very close on Corvette, as well - if a Wraith had shown up at the end that would have done it.) I went and looked back on my scores in Firefight and found the modes where I'd cleared 40,000, and that was the easiest one.

Fun challenge.

I've gone to PAX every year for the past six, and you can bet I'll be there this year. :D
I've never come close to that score in 2x. You're a beast.

Also got extremely pissed off last night trying to get the vehicle challenge. I assploded 6 Banshees on Holdout yesterday in one game, but none of it counted towards the challenge. I could have sworn that I've used that in the past to get the challenge, what the hell happened?

It all makes sense now! Huzzah!

More fuel for the fire: David Ellis says "PAX prime should be a lot of fun this year." Che Chou replies "10 years!". #Randomtwittercomment

I might eat these words later, but I'm going to go ahead and say the celebration isn't a new Halo game announcement.

Wouldn't Microsoft want to do that at E3? PAX is awesome, but it doesn't get the same attention that E3 does.

It might be a good place for a remake announcement/hands-on demo, though.

Edit: Ellis, there's going to be a Final Cut Pro X? Awesome. I'm so glad I didn't buy the current version.

Week 4 montage might be late tonight. It should be a good one though. I'm confident in the clips and the music choice.

You know what it's been awhile since we had a moment like this. So I'm gonna do it. After a nice long break I got back to playing the other week and finally he is complete. LOL

Hearing bad news from fellow HaloGAFer Hydranockz.

Apartment broken into, only thing taken was 360, kinect and controllers...
Didn't take wallets, laptops etc... Apparently even flicked off extension lead before plugging it out.

Terrible (and bizarre). :(

Is he from the US? We should pool together and get him a replacement. I can chip in.

Edit: nuts. What's the best way to help raise funds for someone overseas?
 
Isn't he from New Zealand? That sucks, man. :-/

I would pay good spacebux if that little fella turned my avatar into The Flood.

edit: forgive my ignorance; once outside of the US all you guys are from the same magical place as LOTR. :)

Eh, probably someone he knew and pissed off.
I'd agree, but for the fact he only recently moved there on a 7th month work placement.
Doesn't really know anyone in the complex afaik. Still, he doesn't feel safe there tonight, so he probably agrees with you in that sense.

In that case someone probably saw him bring it in when he was moving, or he plays with the volume loud enough that his neighbors know he has it.
 
Maybe a stupid question but wouldn't there be a possibility to track the xbox once it gets connected to internet?

I do know that you can get your account back easily by calling the xbox help line(It's not a new xbox but it's something). My account got hacked last year and I directly called the help line. They blocked the credit card, linked to the account and I got my new pasword in 3 days.

I don't think bungie should give up their stats, I think it will turn out to be a very large mistake for them in the end.
I'm sure they'll keep their own stats up until their next games comes out at least.

Also get on reach broseph.

Sweet. I can't wait. I'm sure it's going to be every bit as great as HBO is.



You can check them from HERE too.

So you won't just have to go and load up waypoint to see them.

Those don't even begin to hold a candle to bnet's stats. Not even close to the same league.

I really don't see any reason that Bungie would just rip stats from their site. Seems like it would be more of a burden to Bungie to take it all down then just leave them up.

Yeah this is possible. I once read some little kids Xbox was stolen thief connected to LIVE, MS tracked the serial number traced IP and cops caught the thief. Granted this was in the US, not sure if UK cops would take it this far they're usually lazy as fuck. Fight somewhere next day they'll come for CCTV lol.

No it makes perfect sense. It requires people to maintain the servers for hosting of stats. Also that infrastructure can and will be used for their new game probably. Also Microsoft is taking control of all of that because Microsoft wants to bring it in house under their control.

Anyone? Help?

I updated live via the reach disc but on connect.micorosoft.com it says i'm in the 'live' update group, but I never received the update via live >.<

Anyone else having problems connecting to xbl?

Bungie still has Halo 2 stats on their website, and you can't even play the game anymore. I don't they are overly considered with server usage for stats.
