thanks!
i'm new to using higher display resolutions on the xbox. do you have to set the display resolution in the dashboard before each game you play or will it ask if you want to display in progressive mode (like on the gcn) once the game boots?

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I was actually really good at Splinter Cell: Chaos theory but i was shit at the the other. The faster camera probably helped me a lot in Slinter cell 3.

You set it in the Dashboard once, and all games that support it will use it. No need to hold anything everytime like on GCN.

i have a 16:9 widescreen hdtv. i should set the dash to widescreen and 480p then is what you're saying? what about games that don't support 16:9 and progressive scan?

If you have a HDTV, set the dashboard to 1080i and Widescreen. Games will always use the highest resolution they support. Games that don't support 16:9 and progressive scan will just revert to normal 480i 4:3 display automatically.
I'm playing through SC 3 right now, I liked SC 1 it was new back then.. I didn't even try SC2, I just didn't feel the need + stupid ideas like 3x alarm = mission failed
SC3 well, it has some nice ideas like using a knife, tho.. it's just boring going through the SP. (all imho of course)

I own at all the Splinter Cells. One of my favorite series of all time.
Oh, and the people who say Sam can't hit the broad side of a barn firing his weapon are wrong - they can't hit the broad side of a barn. The game isn't Halo.
Patience is key in this series, and flagrantly running and gunning will get you killed damn near every time.

SC:CT is the first Splinter Cell I actually managed to play for a few levels (until the drones). Considering the stealth part of Zelda: TWW was a problem for me I'd say I'm about as bas as anyone can be at this type of game.Blackace said:
Something I hate in a stealth game is when you can't go back to some place you already visited without having again to be careful about what you are doing. The first few levels of SC:CT allow you to kill everyone and break every camera so you can then go anywhere freely. I liked that a lot

alright, i couldn't find the microsoft hi-def a/v pack at any retailer in my area, so i ended up buying a $60 monster component cable for the xbox. the thing that is strange is that the monster cables are not tight in the component inputs on the back of my tv. they just kind of sit there. i've never bought monster cables before. is this normal?

to be more specific, the cable is the monster xlink component cable. each end is sitting so loosely in the tv's input that if you simply bump the tv they come loose. is there something i'm missing here? i noticed that the heads of the cables can be "unscrewed", but that seemed to make no difference for my problem. anybody have these cables?

i was just in the dashboard... wouldn't it be better to set 480p, 720p, and 1080i all to yes since my tv accepts all of these? is there a reason it's better to just set it to 1080i?

hmm... halo 2 looks pretty nice on my tv at 480p. the cutscenes look especially nice, but the actual gameplay parts look good as well. it's getting hard to tell though, as i'm getting used to viewing everything at 480p or higher so i'm not as easily impressed as i was when i initially bought the tv last month. sdtv's look like shit now though...
Sp3ed said:
yeah, i already went ahead and set all three to 'yes', but i just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some kind of reason that i should set it to 1080i only. thanks!

Nothing. The update breaks the emulation and causes lockups.

I decided to double check the problem, to see if they released an update but now it doesn't load up for me anymore. What the hell, I downloaded all the new maps and played online a couple of days ago.
