Well they should at least limit midseason team changes. I can see the need for changes to take place, but players get swapped around like VD.

Obviously changes between seasons are necessary and fine. Just look at Final Boss. Picking up StrongSide was the best thing they could've done.

People care about pro gaming? *scratches head*
 
Not sure if somebody asked this, but does the resolution you are playing at determine the quality of the screenshot output? I never played GT4 but I think that created hi-res shots even if you were playing at a lower resolution.

All screens are output at 1920x1080.

Nope.
 
I've played the game for about 3 hours :D Only on normal but is it me or do the levels seem short? The graphics are a mixed bag, awesome at times and "Halo 2 HD"-ish on others. But heck I had the most fun ever trying to destroy the
scarab
.


Edit: How do I pan the camera away to watch the action in different angles? Do I have to save a film first to be able to do that?

Where do you find this on the Bungie site. I looked under clips, films and favorites but dont see it.

Go to my gamertag and File Share and you'll see it there, then you can prop the download to your Xbox360 (assuming you own Halo) and then next time you log in to Halo 3 on Live, bam the clip will download for you.

Where do the graphics look Halo 2ish? I'm trying to find fault in the screenshots and leaked videos, but they blow anything Halo 2 had. I'm finding the comments about graphics really odd.

Thanks. Was wondering how to do that. Nice how we can que up downloads for the future via the website; I really should have been paying more attention to the "tertiary" features like this.

Hmm. Vyse or Cocop: If you guys have capture cards, could you download this ^ clip and record it, then upload to YouTube ?
If I had a capture card I would, man. Sorry! But it's only 14 seconds long, so it's not like you're missing an epic battle.

What was your GT again? I know it was posted some pages back but I cant find it.

Yes you can only detach the camera in saved films. If the levels seem to short, why not play on Heroic?

I don't want to spoil anything but I'd just say wait until you play the game. It has a very inconsistent look. But at least the spartan models + lighting are perfection. Marine models + Miranda, however........yuck.

Definately will give Heroic and Legendary a try once I get through Normal to have an "overview" experience of the game.

It will officially be the first saved film I watch Monday at approximately 1:07 AM.

Oh, god. Incoming waves of Frankie owning Luke saved films.


The combined File Share of every bnet member couldn't fit that number of Saved Films. The only plus is that the matches are mercifully short.
 
Stinkles said:
Me. Always. Luke has never beaten me. Ever.


We must be talking about driving.....Cuz we all know you can drive Frankie....but killing Luke....hum not so much.
 
BenjaminBirdie said:
How come there ain't no cool stuff in your profile yet? I figured you'd have like the best saved films around...


I have only played one level of Retail build. been on the road the entire time (MX, now NYC) and I won't get to play 'til Thursday.

I REALLY want to get a 360, but I live in the university dorms and have a 4 gig bandwidth limit per week.

On average, does anyone know how much bandwidth xbox live uses per hour of playtime? I googled it and I got 500 mb for 30 hours of playtime. That seems abnormally low. Anyone have any idea? I realize it depends on the game, but I'm just asking for an average.

I played lots of Halo 2 multipalyer in the dorms and always had problems with the bandwidth cap (can't remember what it was though). Thing is that with Halo matchmaking it will probably choose you to host games since university networks are usually really fast and that increases your bandwidth use dramatically.

After I posted the link to that weird armor permutation with the Katana, I started poking around their playermodel generator thing.


Where is this generator thing you speak of?
 
The whole thing is a generator.

Copy the image location when you view someone's profile. The last 11 characters change different things. I'm compiling a list of what changes what, and what letters represent what right now.

I've found a new helmet, a new chestplate, and a new set of shoulder armor. :D

EDIT: There. New helmet, new chestplate, new shoulders.

Still trying to figure out COLOR for everything. I can get the primary color for EVERYTHING to change, but the secondary, and individual colors are kind of...weird.

If I'm playing just with friends in an unranked match, is there any way to choose who hosts and who doesn't?
