    Don't think so, at least not yet. I think there will be one eventually.

    I'm sure there will be stairs/ramps up to some rooftops, but most of the roofs you see you will have to glitch to get up. There will be a glitch or two to get up there for sure. I don't care how good bungie is, when you have a huge number of people playing your game, they will find ways out of the maps.

    As for hit and runs, you better be able to do it. My strategy for some of the harder legendary sections of Halo 3 include sneaky stuff like that. The Halo A.I. is able to "hear" shots and can determine where they come from. In Halo 3, I'm sure they had to turn that down a little, or you would have covies from other sections of the board come running. In ODST I could see them setting the distance pretty far, so silencers would be usefull.

    From what I understand, you can't just kill off a section of the hub world and have it be clear forever. When hitting and running like that, I you might accidentally run into another patrol and get pinched.

    On 360? About as fast as they modded Superman into Halo 3.

    So it seems that we not only work at Epic, but Bungie as well.

    I'll be hopping on in about an hour. Got out of work a bit early since it was completely dead. Guess no one cares for GI Joe.

    G. I. Joe is what you'd expect from a typical action film, except it has Ecclestone in it, which of course automatically makes it brilliant (well, okay, slightly less awful)! However, it's definitely not his best acting, oh, and have any of you lot seen the modernisation of Othello? The one starring Ecclestone.

    Anyways, I haven't been on the Xbox for the past few days, as I've gone down with some God-awful flu (probably swine)! Then, as soon as I'm better, I'll be off to my aunt's farm, there's no screen there, so I won't be on for a couple of weeks after that!

    Is the extra controller the only additional feature of the Limited Edition of ODST? I need a new one, so I'll get it anyway, I'm just curious.

    By the way, in case you didn't know, the Limited Edition is sixty pounds (I'm not sure about the American version).

    They priced it well! Ninety dollars, in the current economic downturn, is roughly sixty pounds (at least the last time I checked the exchange rate).

    Wait, one says ninety, the other says a hundred?

    Ouch.

    It would probably be cheaper to grab it from the UK!

    Ouch.

    I got Halo 3, the limited edition, for thirty pounds the day it came out, from eBay! ODST's limited edition is insanely expensive to pre-order on eBay! I don't see why, any ideas?

    See, I see why the controller would hike the price up, but why would anyone buy it for more than they could get it from the shop? It would take longer to arrive, and you'd be an extra sixty pounds down! Their market strategy just seems a little flawed...

    You appear to have misinterpreted what I was saying (although, of course, what with the 102 degree temperature and all, it's probably my mistake!), I'm fine with the pricing of the limited edition in the shops, but on eBay, where Halo 3 was about half the price, it's around a hundred and twenty-five pounds! Instead of sixty! I don't see why.

    Yes, where things are generally cheaper, trust me on that, Fyre!

    And, as an appropriate example, I bought Halo 3: LE from there for thirty pounds, that was the day of release! So it makes little sense that ODST would be sold for nearly, if not over, double the store price, when Halo 3 was half!

    Oh, by the way, do you know if the Halo PC games are compatible with Windows Seven, they should be, but do any of you run the game on it? I'd just like some confirmation.

    Also here's a nice braintrap. It's like spawntrapping, but with people's minds.


    So I run into a thread on an unnamed forum (not actually MLG or b.net) where people are talking about flag throwing and such. Same people talk about how 'high level play' shouldn't have randomness and whatnot. Okay.

    I point out this: Flag throwing. They think it actually works to nullify the slower running speed.

    Okay. So if that is true, then Bungie should just make the flag runner go normal speed. This eliminates host / latency advantage, controller condition, button layout advantage, and makes the announcer shut the fuck up. Randomness is eliminated.

    If they don't agree with that, then they agree that flag throwing doesn't work.

    Then their brains proceed to short circuit.

    Halo PC needs to be run as administrator to patch correctly

    That's no problem, if I get them I'll be installing them on my own laptop, it was the same with Warhammer Online.

    Welp, I probably pushed myself overboard but-

    Seriously? fuck this game.

    As of this post, I'm resigning from halo 3. I feel that it is only pulling me way from really important things and that I was headed in this direction anyhow.

    I don't blame any of you for this decision. You, all of you have been loads of fun to play with but I need to move on.

    Is it possible for you to keep it to yourself? I honestly don't understand the need to publicly announce that you are quitting a game. You could just quit or say that you're not in the mood if other people are playing. I really just don't get the point of the dramatic post.
