Come on Halvie, you've been moaning about 'jaggies' for days now.

Have you not seen the new ViDoc? Are you really going to take a bunch of terrible screen captures and let that ruin your experience of Halo 3.

Sounds to me like you're going to turn the game on, and immediately look for jaggies. If you find them (which you will) and the game is not up to your standard, you'll be disappointed and upset right from the start.

Don't be that guy. Don't be a graphics whore. I don't say this for my sake, but for your enjoyment of the game. It has so much more to offer.

so whats the word on the jaggies some people are saying there are a lot, some arent?
Some people are using older plasmas which tend to heat up the light source more than other TVs and when HD stuff has a preponderance of blues in it, like Halo 3 apparantly it seems, you get jaggies.
 
City is Woodbridge.

By the way, I can't verify any of this... it's just coming from a guy on my list who I noticed had the game. I asked him where he got it and he said Toys 'R' Us. I asked for a location and he said New Jersey. Asked for a city and he said Woodbridge.

I have no reason to disbelieve him (and clearly he has the game) but who knows.

And as is the case with all of these leaks, YMMV.

Good luck. Hope it helps someone.

and you guys respond faster :)

Does the armor have to be unlocked in multiplayer? Actually...can you unlock anything in multiplayer?

From what I'm hearing, it seems to look the same as the Beta in the jaggy department. If they didn't keep you from having fun then (they didn't), you're all set for a rollicking good time come Monday night.
 
Damn, my local shop gets their shipment in tomorrow. So close.

(I loved how the clerk believes the release date for Halo 3 to be tomorrow despite a huge row of display cases out of his line of sight with "26 September" marked on them.)

Anybody else see "rickrolling" instead of "rollicking?"

From what I understand, armor permutations are unlocked based on Achievement Points.

I'm pretty sure if he takes a picture of his receipt, we can print it out and bring it in to force other Toys R Us's to sell it. ASK HIM!

I can't fathom a national chain not locking the sale out at the register until the 25th, seems odd.

I didnt really notice any jaggies when playing ( i have a hd tv) but I just got to complain about something. Gs better not give it a bad score cuz of this :lol
 
WTF

I called a Toys r us, and I ask

Me : "Do you have Halo 3"
Him : "Yes" ( says it in a quiet voice like he doesn't want people to know or something...)
Me : "YOU have Halo 3"
Him : "Yes"

About a 5 second pause.

Me : So if I come there right now, I can buy it.
Him : No.
Me: Why not?
Him: It doesn't come out till next week.
Me : Is there any way I can get it today?
Him : No


Why the fuck would he say he has it? I think I might go with a friend there and try and get it...

I just called, he said its not out until Tuesday, but then he said "Who told you you can buy it today?"

I said "I know someone who bought it there today."

He said "I highly doubt that, we JUST got it in, I'm holding it in my hand."

I said "I'll drive there and kill you."

He said "Yeah right."

I wept.

That poster just gave an update: http://forum.teamxbox.com/showpost.php?p=9963351&postcount=9371

Pookgai:

Thank You Exadon, I followed your advice and tested out a VGA cable at 1360x768. The change made a HUGE difference. Although there are still some jaggies, there are not as pronounce as they once were when I was using 720p

My point and shoot camera sucks but if I had a DSLR, you would be as surprised as me. The Jaggies is still there but now they are MUCH smaller.

Lesson learned... run at native resolution.

I'm gonna bump up the gfx grade to 8.5/10.
 
Sorry guys.

I definitely didn't want to mislead anyone, but if it was a legit tip I wanted you guys to know. I don't even have a TRU near me so it wouldn't have done me any good either way.

Because he probably does have it. He just can't sell it. Ever think of that, genius?

Just because they have a game in stock, don't mean they are allowed to or can sell it early. In the UK, Argos messed up, according to a manager, they have suspicions someone working on the database put it up so their friend could buy it early.

Shops will be getting Halo in this week but unless they want to get in trouble with MS and whoever, they can't sell it.

He was right to tell you he has it in the shop, but he's a bit of an asshole for leading you on. Must have not been the only one calling.

Have you missed this whole week? :lol

Retailers commonly get big games ahead of their street date. The street date is the date that EVERY store should have it and, thus, the day that, in the fairness of competition, they are allowed to sell it. (This is all the day all the marketing is focused on.)
