[JC316]

Ah, just beat the original Halo. I must say that I honestly forgot just how much fun that game is and why I loved my original Xbox. Onward to Halo 2 and then Halo 3.

Hehe, I got Halo 3 on friday at 1PM, I started playing with a friend at 2PM, we beat it by 1am. Holy SHIT that game rocks.

Hehe, I got Halo 3 on friday at 1PM, I started playing with a friend at 2PM, we beat it by 1am. Holy SHIT that game rocks.What difficulty? Apparently you don't get the proper ending unless it's on the highest difficulty. Just a fyi.

[bassmasta]

we got ahold of halo 3 today. we just so happened to have half the day off (yesterday was a very stressing day for us). we have it almost finished, but i have to say that i don't really like it. i'm curious as to the ending,but I don't think it's worth playing through the rest so i think i'll wait for the guy who owns it to beat it and then i'll ask him.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

What difficulty? Apparently you don't get the proper ending unless it's on the highest difficulty. Just a fyi.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! I HAVE AN OPINION!! HIGHLIGHT IF YOU WANT TO SEE!!

The Legendary ending is just an extra 10 seconds...it's nice...but very short and leaves you wondering what's going to happen next. I believe it could possibly be a re-make of Marathon since that game took place 200 years after Halo. Bungie did say it was the end of the Halo series, but that doesn't mean Master Chief. The future series (Marathon, possibly Forerunner) could still have John 117 as the main character, but there probably won't be any Halos anymore...a new story line.

I really hope it's Marathon though...it took place in the year 2794, around 200 years after the Halo Series (2500)...200 years seems a long way away from the Halo series, but Cortana does say it could be a while for someone to find their beacon, possibly years. It would be great to play as Master Chief again (John 117) but on a different story that's not about Halo, but something different. On the Legendary ending, there was a planet with lights, that could possibly be Onyx (in the novels) or another planet related to Forerunner. Anyway, I hope the next game is with Master Chief, whether it be Marathon, Forerunner, or another story line...based on the ending, there's a high chance of it happening.

END OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS!! END OF MY OPINION!!

When you finish the game, on any difficulty, wait after the credits for more...

[joinmeindeath417]

i hope the same thing ;)

that would indeed be aswome. the fact the halo series ended well and they just make a new series with him in it. :)

[JC316]

Yeah, thats the exact same thing that my friend and I were talking about. We beat it on Heroic. I had to drive 2 hours after beating it, so I didn't stick around for the credits. Can someone PM me with what happened there?

[Batou1986]

man the campaign in this was almost as bad as halo 2 as far as the multi player they made some things better some worse such as the sword parrying is somewhat cool but if you can parry swords why not melee to as it is complete bs that someone can melee me from a distance outside shotgun instant kill range is retarded. because now all anyone does is shoot till your shields down then melee

and the beta had no auto aim the auto aim in the full game is so apparent it trys to aim through walls at enimes that i haven't seen yet and prevents me from shooting a explosive barrel next to a guy that is moving because it wants to aim at the player not what im pointing at

wtf any one besides me disappointed as i am at this i mean seriously the single player made me say oh wtf thats it ?

[JC316]

Yeah that auto aim does piss me off.

[Batou1986]

well atleast theres cod4 and pgr 4 coming out infact pgr4 comes out tuesday mount up bitches

[Azn Tr14dZ]

I haven't played Halo 3 on my Xbox 360 yet (3 more weeks of waiting till I get it back from MS), but I did beat the whole thing at a friend's house, about 6 hours on Legendary. Online was better than Halo 2 IMO, but yeah, the auto-aim...I liked the Beta a lot, specially when there was no auto-aim because it made the game more challenging, more fun, and people with snipers couldn't just side-snipe and hope to get a kill from auto-aim.

I can't wait to get Halo 3 when I get my Xbox 360 back...my friends think they're soo good at it since they got a 4 week headstart...they don't know how godly I am. On Halo 2, their highest level was 26! I was LMAO when they told me they were a 26 on H2 and they could beat me, when my highest on Halo 2 was 43! They also said that they could easily beat me on Halo 3 because I've never played it, and I told them how I played the Beta for 3 weeks in May/June...and beat it on Legendary with another friend.

I just can't wait to get it and p00p on their faces...

i personally think the 3rd installment's auto aim is not tweaked as high as halo 2 the hitboxes are alot better

How the hell did you manage to beat that thing on legendary in 6 hours? Me and a friend beat it on heroic in 8 hours and we are halo buffs. We constantly owned Halo 1 on legendary, co-op or single player, Halo 2 was impossible for us on legendary due to the damned snipers, but we kicked it's ass on heroic.

I have to admit that single player legendary on halo 3 handed me my ass, ONE freaking plasma pistol shot drops your shields half way!!!! Bruteshot takes them away completely.

It didn't take too long...we just played smart. Both of us had Halo 2 since the first month it came out, and we would always play it everyday. We got better and better and better...at first for Halo 2, the campaign was a little hard. Then we just stuck to online a bit and we got good enough that we would play with some Pro Gamers (MLG), then when we would go back to campaign it would be really simple to play it on Legendary. Also, we played Halo 3 back in May/June during the Beta, and we played it everyday that it was out. So I think we had a lot of experience playing against hard enemies (whether it's Pros or Legendary)

Ah, that certainly explains it. I remember when Godlike was tough on UT2004, till I got tangled up with some pros.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Still 2 1/2 weeks until I get my Xbox 360 back from MS...the worst time for it to break, and next week is fall break too, so no Halo 3...no Xbox 360. This sucks, oh well, good things come to people who wait (right?). At least my repaired 360 will get better cooling and won't have RROD anymore. Never heard of anyone getting a 360 with HDMI back tho...

Anyways, have fun with Halo 3.

Its possible, mine was so fucked that they sent me a brand new (only 1 month old production dated) with a brand new Hitachi 79 DVDROM in it (the drive widely used in the Elite consoles) ;)

PGR4 is out and it is awesome besides the fact that the true game render is not 1080p is only 720 upscaled anyway check dis out

u can upload screens @ pgrnations . com from your 360 thats how i got these on the pc ,like forza 2 and halo 3
you can customize your paint scheme somewhat by choosing from a few designs which each consist of 3 colors and you can scale the design on your car

Just called Microsoft a little earlier, and they said my 360 would get here 3-5 days, so I'll be gettin Halo 3 this weekend, what makes it sweeter is that I just got 10% off on Video Games on BestBuy through the mail, love it!

[Murasame]

Hey just wonder what kind of router would you guys suggest for wireless 360 live play? I already got the MS 360 wireless adapter just need to get a router now. I've been looking at a $65 linksys wireless 802.11b/g router. I've heard that since the MS adapter does 802.11a it would be good to get a router to use that. What routers are you all using?

Also heres some background info:
I have roadrunner broadband 6mbs connection and my 360 will be hooked up to my hdtv in the room behind where the comp is. It'll be about 20 feet away with just a wall separating the 360 and the router.

you should get a wireless N type router it has a fatter pipe in it so the stream is quicker its good and is compatible with the 360's wireless adapter

[freaksavior]

wireless n are a little overpriced.

you have things to consider.

How far apart is it? and how many walls is it going through?

if it's maybe 200ft and 2 walls then a G router will do fine.

if its more like 300ft with 4 or 5 walls then you would need a n router to get a connection.

I have a D-link DI-524 (802.11g 54mps) and i connect my xbox 360 wirelessly to live with the d-link gaming adaprot and it works great no lagging.

so with all that being said i would suggest the following itemD-link 108mps wireless router (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7650455&type=product&id=1134699413343)

True...but i was going towards the approach he might use his system as a media center also and its not really recommended that you use a G type router cause the stream can lag up from your pc to your 360 so if you use a N type it usually has no problems

Granted you are right about the distance and walls, but they arnt that much more money than a good wireless G router

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833162018

80 dollars and i have that one and it works well with 2 of the 3 xbox 360's in my house

maybe so, but N is more than the average user needs. if all he is going to do is xbl, or heck even if he is going to steam a hd video, the G router will do him fine. I work at best buy, selling people routers all day and i advise them not to get a N router unless they need it for the distance. so even if it is like $20, there $20 more money in his pocket.

not trying to argue with you but i just don't see the need in getting N right now. Plus N isn't even finished. yes they have decided on a standard for wi-fi 2.0, but the rest of the N stuff isn't finished.


edit: i stream mkv videos from my external hdd to my modded xbox with xbmc and it hasn't ever lagged on me. so 108mps should suit him fine ;)

My Xbox 360 gets back from Repair on Tuesday!

[Murasame]

My 360 will only be 50 feet max from the router and only 1 wall separating it. Just want to know what would give me best results for that. I'll only be using the wireless for my 360 and ps3. Looking to spend $70 on the router.

This is the router I've decided to get:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124010

Though I'm gonna get it from best buy or fry's instead of newegg.

NO i was at the part whwere Bungie thanked us for playiing the game and helping them towards their future goal of world domination!

I got impatient and hit A before the credits even came up:cry::cry::cry:

I beat it last night actually though. Tomorrow night im gonna play the last level again and this time I will wait VERY Patiently for the credits to actually show up

Yeah after that last mission, your brain is smoking. Some of that makes the old sphincter tighten up just a bit.

Alright, thanks...everything goes by so slow when you're waiting for something...like a 360. I'd be so pissed tho if it broke again.

Btw, was there an Xbox Live Dashboard Update recently?

Almost been a day since anyone's posted here (not really, but I'm used to people posting here more often)

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Should I buy a Nyko Intercooler to help cool my Xbox 360? I know the Original Intercoolers were crap, but the new "Intercooler EX", from what I heard, perform great. They're still loud like the original, but they're much more stable, and they have a metal connector, so the plastic doesn't melt anymore. Also, on the original Intercooler, the voltage can drop from 12v to 10v, but with the new Intercooler there's no voltage drops at all.

Should I pick one up? I heard they're amazing and, I don't want to wait 3 weeks again to send it to MS.

[Murasame]

Ok got my linksys router and have it set up. I can browse the web on my psp now, but I have one problem. On the 9th step of setup from the disk that came with the router it says to configure cable or DHCP settings. Then there is a drop down list consisting of: DHCP, PPPOE, Static IP, PPTP, L2TP and TELSTRA. I have no idea which to choose to configure. Can anyone tell me how to find out which of those choices I have? I have road runner broadband cable 6mb conncetion. I can't check if my xbox connects right now cause its at the service center being repaired. I should be getting it back this week.

For my router (which is D-Link, not Lynksis), I just left everything at automatic/blank. I have Cox, not Roadrunner, but on Cox's website, they said to leave anything at automatic, and if there's any problem, then call Tech Support to get the needed info. But so far no problems with it left at automatic/blank.

If I were you, I would just leave it blank, or automatic, unless you can't access the internet or are having connection problems. Maybe check Roadrunner's Website too.

Anyways, do you know for sure that your Xbox 360 will get here this week? I checked my tracking number...;) I should be getting mine tomorrow, and I'll pick up the Nyko Intercooler EX as well.

[Murasame]

Well stage 9 in setup is right after it checks my systems settings and it does have a warning before proceeding that if I'm confused to leave it as is. So I just left it DHCP. MS got my 360 on the 5th and according to the 515page thread on the xbox.com forums it usually takes 7 days for the repair. So on the 10 my 360 should be on its way back to me. Then I can finally start playing some halo3.

You should call Tech Support and ask for the tracking number...really helpful when you want to know the status w/ out calling a CSR.

I'm so excited for tomorrow...

You don't need to call them to get tracking status. All you have to do is go to UPS website and select track by reference. Use the reference number given to you and it will show the package on its way to you when its shipped back. I learned that from that long ass thread at the xbox.com site.

Well it takes 7 days to fix and ship back and mine got to them on the 3rd. So the 10 or earlier it ships back to me. 3 days to get back and it should be here saturday if it ships back on the 10th.

Well, I'm still waiting for my Xbox 360, but I have an idea if my Xbox 360 breaks again.

If it does break again (which I hope it doesn't), then I'll send it in to MS and hopefully I'll get a working console. When I get the working console back, then I'll just trade it in to GameStop for $170, then I'll add $180 and get another Xbox 360, but this time around it should have a better heatsink/clamp and HDMI. So I should have a working Xbox 360 that shouldn't break anymore.

Anyways, hope it doesn't come through to that, and hopefully the one I receive today will work great...

Im sure your repaired system will be fine. I bet they will fit the new heatsink in it or better still send you a brand new system (like they did to me) with the new heatsink design ;)

Not needed. All 360's sent to repair center get the new heatsink. Thats what they do when repairing it. Also if your 360 was messed up bad enough it will come back with a whole new MB and maybe the hdmi one. Many ppl have sent in there pro's to the repair center and received it back with the hdmi port.

I'm not so sure...on the Xbox Forums there are many people on their 5th/6th Xbox 360 because they kept receiving a faulty one...I just hope mine doesn't break down.

Also Hookey...you have XBL right? I need someone to play Co-op with when my Xbox 360 gets here...

No m8, mine was beyond repair so it seems, so they had to send me a new one lol. It wasnt retail boxed 'sealed', but it was clearly a new system because they gave me a note stating so and the manufacture date on it was from the previous month (August 2007 I think) :rockout:

TBH, I then swapped the new one with a m8 for an old one, as a new model was no good to me ;)

PS: I dont have XBL atm, but Im thinking about getting it as it looks great :)

Why did you swap it?

I was reading on Xbox Forums..and someone just asked the CSR's Supervisor for a new one and they got a new one...as well as accessories.

[HookeyStreet]

Why did you swap it?

I swapped it because it had the new 'Hitachi 79' drive in it :cry:

The Intercoolers arent that good m8. A lot of systems have died due to the intercooler as it 'piggybacks' off your 360's PSU :mad: (and they are really noisey too!)

I heard the intercooler was bad for the PSU.....
EDIT: Hookey beat me to it by a minute lol

[Taz100420]

Thats why I held off buyin one and put a fan on the tall heatsink and applied my own thermal paste as the old stuff ran down the PCB. It was a pain to clean off.

Yeah that was the original Intercooler tho. The Intercooler EX I heard was improved, it is metal now instead of the crappy plastic so it would melt. It also got the clips so it's secure...I heard good stuff about the EX, but bad about the original thats why I was going to buy the EX.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Cool, but does it still piggyback off the 360s PSU or does it actually have its own power supply :confused:

It still goes off of the 360 PSU, but it should be a lot safer now...I haven't heard many complaints about the EX model, at least not about it burning the back.

[Murasame]

You should water cool it. I was searching for the article of that first guy who water cooled his and wow there are so many water cooled 360's out there. Some are even fully internal.

[HookeyStreet]

Well that does sound better to me. But lets look at this another way. If the 360 needed additional cooling, why hasnt Microsoft released an officially licensed product and made some extra cash out of us?

The 360 did have an overheating issue, but that has been addressed (hence the 3 year warranty for 3 red light errors) So any newly manufactured system (or recently repaired system) should be free from the overheating issue :D

Save your cash m8 ;)

PS: apart from watercooling, the best additional cooling method Ive seen is the addition of an internal fan (I will try to find the pics m8)

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Yeah, I guess you're right but I just don't want my Xbox 360 to brick again and me having to wait like 3-4 weeks. It's a pain when everyone is playing Halo 3, and you have the game and all you can do is look at the box.

Yeah it does suck. I called today to check my 360's status and got some chick CSR. I don't think she was even really working. I could hear very loud ppl in the background playing halo3. First time I called the CSR told me call back in a few days and my 360 would be ready. I called today and the chick told me to wait another 5-6day before calling again. I'm not sure if she was just trying to get me off the phone or if she was serious. Its already been 6 days. Its not supposed to take 12 to fix. I'm really hoping she was just bs'ing me to go play halo3.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Wow...oh well...there's a chance that they actually "fixed" yours instead of giving you a refurbished.

Would this be better than an Intercooler:

[Murasame]

I personally don't like pelican at all. All the other crap from them I bought in the past was....well.......crap! Also if it runs off the back ups and covers the entire back part you would not be able to mount the 360 wireless adapter. Not sure if you would, but if so thats something to think about. I'd say read as many user reviews as possible. Better yet see if there are any threads about these coolers on the xbox forums.

I never use a Wireless Adapter because in my room I have a wired connection, but if I play in the living room I have a computer there where I can bridge the connection and play wireless anyway. I guess I'll read more reviews...but the few that I read are good so far tho.

EDIT: There are slots where you can put the Wireless Adapter...so it works with it.

Yeah...Halo 3 is fun! I finished 4 of the 9 chapters so far...really easy (played on Normal first). Then I played a couple chapters on Legendary. It's not too hard, but you have to play smart and not rush. A lot better/easier in Co-op...

For those intercoolers, you could buy one, and mod it to use it's own wall wart.

[Murasame]

My TV doesnt support 1080p, so I dont know, but it looks great in 1080i :)

You should see how it looks in 720p. Since 1080i is just interlaced 540p.

Ok so I called again yesterday about my 360 and a different guy again told me to try calling back in 2 weeks. I just checked ups with my ref # right now and it says billing information received. Which I believe means its shipping soon. So I've come to the conclusion that the CSR's tell you to call back 1 or 2 weeks later in hopes that you receive your console before then. That way it looks like they fixed it ahead of schedule.

Still a higher resolution though...IMO I think 1080i looks better than 720p, but when playing games or watching fast-paced movies, then I would go for 720p. When I play with my 32" or 48" HDTV's, I use 1080i, but when I play on my 50" HDTV, I use 1080p.

When playing Lost planet on my 40" HDTV 720p looked better than 1080i. I need to get a vga cable for my 360 or hope its was broken enough for them to give me the new MB with the hdmi port so I can do 1080p with it. Also my 360 finally shipped out. According to ups its scheduled delivery is the 16th. Finally some halo 3 action.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Is it just me or is Halo 3 a little too easy? I mean there are kids out there that are level 35+, and they're garbage...and I haven't even had the game for a week yet (only 3 days!)...only level 10...and these 35+ kids are getting raped. A lot easier than Halo 2...but still better...

65 Games played, won 56 of them.

Well 35 isn't all that really. Plus you have a very good record. There are only 2 lvl 50's so far in all of halo 3. Atleast according to the bungie.net forums. One of them is already a 2nd grade general. The system now is better than it was during halo 2.

Did any of you guys get all 13 skulls? Or all 7 Terminals?

[effmaster]

NO but those terminals are very weird are they not?
its very secretive about what they say at times:laugh::laugh:

Also im a sergeant after 2 days on xbox live me and cjoice played some Halo 3 multiplayer on xbox live friday night and I kicked his ass.

I swear Halo 3 multiplayer does seem a little easy to me. Though that may have to do with the fact that i was playing COD2 on PC online for a couple of months beforehand and even though I sucked there somewhat ( i blame low framerates:laugh::laugh:) i was decent and I would always let people know I was there. So yeah if you played some online multiplayer on PC this should be real fun for those people on xbox live;);)

I will be back online shortly though got some more issues to work out now that I cant use my 50 ft ethernet cable 9my parents werre gon for a little while so I had the house to myself and I took advantage of that;);))

[Azn Tr14dZ]

It is easy isn't it? I just helped my friend yesterday get his Level 48! 2 away from the highest level possible...

I just wanted to know about the skulls or the terminals...I already have all 13 Skulls/7 Terminals, but I wanted to know if anyone here got it all too.

So far my record is:
109 Matchmaking Games
98 Wins
11 Losses

Woot! My winning percentage is 90%! Yeah...

[Azn Tr14dZ]

What's wrong w/ ur router anyway?

[effmaster]

What's wrong w/ ur router anyway?

The main router we have hooked up to our house wont recognize it it has something to do with the fact that we have a closed network I think, I still need to get with my parents about this

[Murasame]

Man Halo 3 multiplayer is fun. Though I'm saddened the most enjoyable setting of 16player ffa isn't an option. Also holy hell these multiplayer achievements are gonna take a while to get.

On another note my rear usb port does not seem to be working anymore for my wireless adapter. Earlier today power went out for a sec and ever since then my rear usb port doesn't work. I connect my MS adapter and it lights up red, but never goes green. When I test the connection it tells me adapter dissconected.

This weekend I'm gonna try to get my Level 50 in both Team Slayer and Team Doubles...so close at Level 44...

Are you guys getting bored of Halo 3 yet?

[KennyT772]

Hey do you guys know how to transfer mp3's from my pc to my 360? I cant seem to find a way to get them on there.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Hey do you guys know how to transfer mp3's from my pc to my 360? I cant seem to find a way to get them on there.

I don't think you can transfer MP3's from PC to 360, you can only hook them up together with an Ethernet, and stream from PC to 360. The only way to get music on the 360 is to burn from the CD which sucks. But you can still hook up your iPod or any other MP3 by USB and play from the device, just not transfer.

[KennyT772]

Anyone know if it can read mp3 cds?

My original Xbox could. Didnt like to most times, but it did. Im pretty sure the 360 can.

[KieranD]

i would use a cd rw as you can delete the stuff off of it and then use it to transfer more music i think that they should update the console and allow at least pc to 360 music and video transfer as i can see how ipod and mp3 players might require drivers for transfer

also i have found out that my xbox 360 can be recognised by my pc but i cant connect to it because the 360 is plugged directly into the router and the pc is on wireless it says that it wont work if a router is involved

Double check all of your network settings on your PC, router and 360.

How's that Elite going btw? You happy you got it over the Premium?

Hard drive space is so nice. Within the first week I had over 30gb of demo's and videos. Also it does run quieter than the premiums I've played, even after extended periods of gaming the fans are never as loud at the premiums, and it kicks out the same amount of heat. I did buy the intercooler for it, and a play and charge NiMH battery pack.

So far I have the intercooler (rev2 with a better mounting system, power socket, and wifi adapter compatability) play and charge batt pack, Armored Core 4 (amazing game).

The rest of the games I've been playing are my buddy's as both of his premiums are out for repair. Chrome Hounds and Halo3 mainly. Also my neighbor's (who im really close with) just got a new sharp 46" lcd with 3x hdmi ports. Halo3 at 1080p looks so nice.

By the way my gamertag is KennyT772

[freaksavior]

Halo3 at 1080p looks so nice.


:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

bungie cut corners and they game only runs at 1138x640

A person on the Beyond3D forums tested various games, and found that some 360 games don't even run at 720p, and are instead upscaled to it. Halo 3 and Perfect Dark Zero, for example, run at 640p, while PGR3 and Tomb Raider run at a measly 600p.

It has also been noted that it runs at 1138x640 with only Bilinear filtering, no Anti Aliasing, and gets roughly 30 frames per second average.

To quote gamerwar who explains the math behind the calculations:

quote
Each “step” in a jaggy alias line equals one vertical pixel at the images native resolution (for angles beneath 45 degrees). In this example there are 16 steps in the jagged line. This means in the native rendering, there in a 16 pixel height difference between step 1, and step 16. This picture was taken on a 720p native LCD, running Halo 3 at “720p.” So when you have an alias line with 16 steps, there should be a physical height difference of 16 pixels. But instead here, there is an 18 pixel height difference!

What this means is the native image is only 16/18, or 88.88% (repeating), of the 720p outputted image. That means Halo 3 is only internally rendered at 640p, and the image is upscaled by the 360 to 1280×720.

Running at only 1138×640, that means there are 728,320 pixels. That’s a full 193,280 pixels LESS than 720p. In fact, it is even less pixels than your very average 1024×768! Hardly what anyone would consider “high-def.”

I tested approximately sixty X360 games (and lot of PS3 games too ), all are 720p except two 1080p (VT3 and NBA street), two 600p (PGR3 and Tomb Raider) and Two 640p (Perfect Dark and Halo3).

[HookeyStreet]

I'll probably play Call of Duty 2 again since I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan! Amazing Movie!

[HookeyStreet]

Eh you just have to take it very slow, and mostly snipe. The flood parts are the hardest by far, and you get no where without being able to grenade stick 90% of the time and headshot with every gun. Otherwise brutes take 3 clips to kill.

except ebay.co.uk where i check all the time for a wireless adapter any ideas where to find one for cheap?

When you play Call of Duty 4, you'll know how much better it is than Halo 3. Halo 3 is all hype, it's too easy and not much of a step further than Halo 2...

Assassins Creed is one of my favourites atm, along with COD4 (I completed it on the PC) :rockout:

PS: is that your dog in your avatar? If yes, wow, he is an amazing looking dog (American Pitbull?)

[RaZrShRp]

Thank you, yes that is my dog and he is a Boxer. I will play COD4 later after i finish this game.

Hes a boxer! :eek: LOL, my eyes must be going :roll: ( I used to have a boxer aswell....female, brindle colour. She died a long time ago :( Lovely dogs...so friendly & playful)

That is one great looking dog :)

I have a pure bred Jack Russell Terrier now called Bowser (lol)

EDIT: actually, looking at the pic better (Im a bit tired atm lol) I can clearly see its a boxer....I should have noticed the folds at the sides of the mouth :)

[RaZrShRp]

Sorry about that. Boxers are such a awesome breed.
I was going to get one of those before I got Rosco(my dog)
And I do have a American Pit bull Terrier(she is a big baby).

[HookeyStreet]

Sorry about that. Boxers are such a awesome breed.

Thanks and I agree 110%


I was going to get one of those before I got Rosco(my dog)

Cool name! I have a friend called Rosco lol. They are funny little animals (Jack Russells) They are small in frame but big in heart m8. My one is soft as hell, but he tried to stand up against a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Bullmastiff cross the other day lol :roll: If you ever feel the need to get another dog, you should get one (JRT), they are great[/QUOTE]


And I do have a American Pit bull Terrier(she is a big baby).

Nice, do you have any pics? I would love one of those, but they are banned in the UK, sadly :( (due to ignorant bastards breeding them to be vicious and giving them a bad reputation!)

[RaZrShRp]

Sorry about that, are Staffordshire Bull Terriers banned there? I think they are like cousins to a American Pit Bull Terrier(I hate people that misuse a dog for fighting).
I have pictures of her. I'll get some up sometime.

When you play Call of Duty 4, you'll know how much better it is than Halo 3. Halo 3 is all hype, it's too easy and not much of a step further than Halo 2...

I know how good the single player is but the online really sucks to me since the multiplayer maps are all exact clones from the maps on campaign. That's what I had put myself on the line saying to myself if this is just like COD2 with single player map rip offs then Im not buying it. I like how Halo 3 has maps that are not rip outs from campaign thats why I love its multiplayer

[HookeyStreet]

No, Staffs are very popular :)

I think they are like cousins to a American Pit Bull Terrier(I hate people that misuse a dog for fighting).

Yeah they are very much alike :)

Cool. I will have to get some of my JR lol :)

Hi, Ive just added you :)

[HookeyStreet]

Whats best on an HDTV (max 1080i), Component or VGA :confused:

Im using Component, but I was thinking about giving VGA a try (I have a m8s Cooler King sat here doing nothing and if VGA was better I would purchase a proper XBOX360 VGA cable)

What are your views on this?

[RaZrShRp]

has anyone used this? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/4287/ex-wat-102/Koolance_Xbox_360_Liquid_Cooling_Complete_Kit_-_Black_KIT-XB360BK-SYS.html?tl=g30c83s404&id=dh5atUPy#blank

I'm going to get the vga cables just for the fact to see how it goes. I believe it all depends on the type of LCD screen that you have.

EDIT: I got the VGA cables and I'm loving it. just have my Xbox on my desk and start playing it. the screen looks great and since my LCD has both VGA and DVI I don't have a problem keeping it going.

I've never had a problem with my x box getting hot because of the fact its one of the new versions. But, if they had it back in the day when my friend had his... I'd go for it...

Mine looked better thru VGA. I have a 32" 720p Samsung.

Depends on your TV. From the posts here and at [H], if your tv is older but does have HDMI VGA or Component will look better. VGA always beats component. Only newer tvs looks better with HDMI vs VGA.

Only newer tvs looks better with HDMI vs VGA.Yeah, once I replaced my dead 360 with an Elite, I started using HDMI, and it looks even better than the VGA. So it's like this for me. HDMI>VGA>Component

[KennyT772]

HDMI is technically the best interface, but the interface is only as good as whats on either end. Anything based on the HDMI 1.3 spec should be superior to VGA due to protocol improvements, but the jury is still out yet. Anything based on 1.0-1.1 will probably look better on VGA.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned "for me". It all come down to your specific hardware.

[KennyT772]

I just can't wait to get my VGA cable in the mail ($15 from [H]ardocp FS forum) and try it out on my 19" trinitron...hehe.

[RaZrShRp]

what about DVI? Can xbox be hooked up threw DVI.

[KieranD]

i got cod 4 on pc its a good game but i hate how every enemy is coming for me seriously feels like i was doing all the work, i also hated how when i got close to a guy he would just stand and fire for ever untill i either died or moved away or killed him. Now i think about it its ultra annoying how guys keep coming spawning in a building or place untill i move on so if i just tried to shoot them all fight my way to the building i cant because theres more guys appearing i just kill one and more come along untill i move on then that area just magically nobody comes.

only vga cables for xbox 360 or hdmi

anyone getting the TNA iMPACT game next year?

[HookeyStreet]

Well Ive got a 32" Waltham LCD TV (its a fairly budget model) but it does have HDMI and runs my 360 great in 1080i via Component.

Should I test a VGA cable as I dont have an HDMI port on my 360 :cry:

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Yes they can, but you have to use an HDMI cable, then use HDMI-DVI Adapter. They're both digital so there shouldn't be a loss in quality, but you will lose sound so you have to use optical or some other audio output.

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Just wondering, does anyone know how much a game store (like GameStop or EBGames) will take for trading in Halo 3? I'm bored of it...really bored of it. Yesterday was the first time I played it in a long time and it's nothing anymore...and I'm considering trading it in.
