Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Estimate on the Mythic map pack?

Why the hell do all the screenshots for Halo 3 look like they were taken with a super computer running the game at 10x the resolution it actually runs at? Seriously, even the Assembly pictures from PAX. The game does not look like that. It isn't even remotely that clean.
Apart from that extra AA, it looks the same on my hdtv.
2) there's an article on bungie.net about it, but the game does render screenshots at like 5x the real resolution, and applies better AA and Anisotropic filtering, and does it tile based etc
it does look that clean though. .to me. screenshots just look smoother.
You need to be running a HDTV to look that nice. But ya, they add a bit too much on the screen caps.
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

I'm happy with it, though. 8-)
I'll be on early afternoon for some Halo if anyone's down.

I am, I'm running the game at 1080p.
I'm not saying it looks bad but there are a lot of jaggies (a lot), and as firewulff said, the screenshots apply a lot of anti-aliasing and are of a higher resolution.
I can't find this article. I found an old interview saying the screenshots were about 1.5x the resolution of the game when you take them though.
I'm going to try to get a good picture with my camera and post it. Right after i got my 1080p monitor and HDMI I think I posted in the last Halo3 thread asking about this same thing and I ended up just assuming that what I see is what it's supposed to look like even though it's not nearly as nice as the screenshots.
Just linking them because ZOMG HEUG! (both size and filesize).

Actually apparently looks like flickr cut down on the filesize and image size. But you can still see what I'm saying. I think.
That's at 1080p.
However with the official screenshots it seems they use a higher level of dynamic lighting. They do look crisper
Well, to be fair I'm not much of a photographer. The game doesn't look that saturated on my screen, its just the lighting and my inability to take a good picture. I was mainly referring to jaggies/unclean texture lines that you just don't see in the "official" screenshots.
Oh yeah I have the same problem. It's gotten to where now though I just remember to switch to the magnum and THEN pick up another weapon. But it was confusing at first.
I have a question for those who know more about the Trueskill system. Do all those losses that acquired in Team Slayer make it more difficult for me to level up in other playlists (such as Doubles or Squad) as well?
It's just that when you take screenshots from a film it anti-aliases them, whereas it normally doesn't do that as it'd slow the game down.

Succesful help here should mean I'll be able to play with a wired 2mps(well two something) connction. Not ideal but vastly better then wireless connection to a router half a campus away.
Also is it more or less that nerdy that the first thing MAC reminds me of is the weapon?
Maybe this will help?

@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
When I hit start I don't get a run option, possibly because I'm using vista. Also does that mean a computers IP address is the same as its MAC address?
also i can take picture that are
I don't believe an IP address is the same as a MAC address. Try this one:

Okay that worked and I've got my physcial address (five sets of two letters/numbers). What should be the final question. How do I give this to my xbox?
Thanks in advance.
If you are using your computer as a bridge to get internet to your xbox then you go to the system blade in the xbox, then go network settings, then go to edit settings, then go right and go to additonal settings then go to the second option that says advanced settings
"Xbox Live is allowed on the network but to get this working you will need to assign your Xbox the same MAC (aka physical) address as your PC which you have signed up with. To get your MAC address on the screen please follow these steps:
XP users: Start > Run > type CMD > type IPCONFIG/ALL > your physical address is listed"
It's an internet service provided by my Uni.
Edit: Alright found testing.
Hopefully it works
Seeing as I caved in and bought the Legendary pack yesterday...
They'll announce the Mythic pack will be released next month and that the Legendary Pack will be free then as well.
Cause thats how it goes.
I'm not actually using my computer as a bridge. What I'm attempting to do is hook my xbox straight up to a socket in the wall. My computer works fine doing this (I can browse the web etc). My 360, not so much. At the moment it's fallng down at the MTU stage, now I'm 99% sure that's not because the connection isn't fast enough.
All the advice cablecom has for getting on live is that part I've quoted. Well I've done that, still no luck.
I bet the school has limited the MTU amount I believe it has to be around the 14920 mark, maybe a bit under. This is a change that has to be made to the router though that is controlling the network. However I find it hard it hard to believe that no one else in the building has an xbox. Maybe talk to other people that are having a similiar problem.
Maybe you should try using the computer as a bridge
I'm pretty sure it isn't that. I had a similar fault last year when I was attempting to set it up on a different network, suffice to say I wasn't the one who fixed it in the end. I can't use my pc as a bridge as it only has one network port. Unfortunalty I appear to have screwed up the original network I had so can no longer access live. So I won't be on tonight, tommorow I'll call their support services and see if they can help me.
