That particular SPARTAN is Nicole-458 (Master Chief = John-117). So thats why its a girl..and when that electrical thingy happens near the private part, guess what? *keep guessing

No...shhhh...don't use the double-yew oh double-yew word...oh it's too late...I can hear them coming! WE'RE ALL DOOMED! Who? What? Where? When?

I played the First Ace Combat when it first came out...and now looking at this all I can say is "Wow."

Our beloved aim lab is coming back though correct?

haha...nice...sorry I wasn't around much this weekend...the online in Crackdown is by far the most fun I've had over xbox live since playing gears co-op. The moment I kicked my friend off the top of a building I knew I was in love! Agreed x10!!!! Crackdown online is super fun!

InfiNitZ

I cleared Los Muertos, Killed 2 Volk Gang Leaders. Put my "Strenght" skill all the way up to 4 stars. Got my "Marksmanship" level to 3 stars. Got my "Agility" level to 3 stars. Got my "Driving" skills up to 2 stars. Got my "Explosives" skills up to 3 stars. Also, I only need 2 more Supply Points to get the "Unlock all Supply Points" achievement.

Yeah, I picked mine up today as well!! The game is awesome guys!! Its so worth it even if it didn't come with the Beta, but still I'm glad it did. I've only got to play for a little while but its great! Btw Can't wait till the H3Beta is activated from that little downloads section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...do you really suck that badly with thumb sticks? Not everyone has the ability I guess... Agreed.

No more Coffin? Wierd.

Halo3betaawesome!!!1!!111!1!! werd.

hahahahahahhahahahaha

Awww man that sucks. 3 Red Rings of Doom is what they're called

Indeed. Only time will tell. I'm so impatient though! I want to play now lol

Pretty much That video was up just before Christmas I think (or just after...) I'm assuming I didn't make it into the first round as I haven't been contacted yet, however I'm definitely buying crackdown so I'll get in on that (every copy will have an invite, incase people are thinking it's limited)...the only difference now is that i'm no longer buying crackdown for the halo3 beta There have been some interesting interviews recently with people from Bungie, where Halo 2 is being described as a huge mistake (I know...) and that Halo 3's mp is years beyond anything out there atm. They even mentioned that the took a lot of cues from the CS world when designing Halo3's mp, that because CS is the most successful online FPS, it would have been silly of them to ignore its influence. Halo 3 will be utterly ridiculous. Thank the stars we'll get the beta in the spring and don't have to wait until next november to get a taste of the multiplayer! Did they really think Halo 2 as a huge mistake? huh...wierd. So they decided to look up to CS for MP help eh. Sweet! Sadly, Imma have to wait till November to get a taste of Halo 3

So, our boys over in Iraq got to play the ALPHA version of Halo 3. Here's the link fellas: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12501/US-Sol...Footage-Leaked/ Not sure if anyone has seen this yet so I decided to post it up here. Side note: Did anyone sign up or is planning on signing up for the Halo 3 BETA? I've heard normal sign-ups are done and now you either have to get Crackdown or do the "Rule of Three" thing to get it.

I was thinking that before playing the demo...now I'm buying it for Crackdown! 2 player online co-op? WHhhhhhhhaat! Yeah dood that's awesome! I'm actually unsure of getting it as of right now. The only thing holding me back is moneys Sell blood...you have more than enough time lol!!!

hmmm. Thats strange. Ah well, Thanks for the info

Did someone upload a bad file to the server's FTP? I ask this because the server is so "choppy" like. At times the FPS drops below 50 for me..which is weird because on every other server I stay at 100. Please, someone check on this.

The only reason I would buy this game is because of the Halo 3 Beta, but the Gameplay is indeed awesome!

Yep. Same here. Haven't noticed any Issues with the Campaign mode at all.

Hello all, before I begin let me just say that my XBOX live gamertag is Pistolero7 if you wish to add me. Now, about General RAAM on insane mode, heres a very very good video showing how to beat him easily by yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU86g2n5pXM note: The guy doing this video uses language not sutiable for children (lol) anyways, yea. I've already beaten insane and gotten all the COG tags

For Mouse: I use CPL's Mouse Fix and turn my Razer Copperhead's sensitivity all the way up (sens = 10 in razer config) and have it at 2000 DPI and 1000 Hz. In game I have mouse filter OFF and sensitivity to 1.9 For X-Hair: I use cl_crosshairscale 700 For Commands: This is my current config that I'm running.
