I seem to be having a minor inconvenience. My Xbox isn't reading any discs at the moment. So playing games at all is a problem for me. I'll get it fixed, but I won't be on for a while.


On my third box now, so I feel your pain. Maybe we can expect better hardware with the 720? ;-)

I'm on my second but strangely my dad knew a guy at work who reckoned he could fix the 1st one. 3 days later it's working good as new and we have a backup 360. Apparently if you remove all the plating once every 6 months and use a gentle vacuum to remove all the dust you can severely reduce the chance of the RRoD.
Anyway hopefully jew man man will get it fixed soon.
Oh and is the 720 confirmed?

There are additional fixes to help with the hardware issues of the box & shipped 360, but I would never publicly encourage people to void there 360 warranties at this point. Of course if it's already expired...

Yep, mine broke three days after the warranty expired so there was no risk.

Have you tried hitting it? That happened to mine, and I found the most technical solution was to teach it who was boss. It hasn't given me any lip since.

I think the going rate is that £1=$1.32 if I'm not mistaken.



Gazas-

the internetz are fail. i tried to email them to you, and it said something along the lines of "we are having problems, try again later." and i tried it soooo many ways. compressing them into one file, sending them seperately, etc. so, after some extensive research, i found a site that will host them. it'll b about half an hour till they finish uploading, and then I'll give you a link.

So, Tyrant, is there any specific reason you placed Misanthrope as Ultra class instead of Commando? It's only slightly below the Armed Conformist in terms of difficulty.

$1 = About 6 Swedish Kronor
£1 = About 9 Swedish Kronor

Someone else do the math =)




And yeah, great. I just got off from our latest match in Matchmaking, please send me the link tomorrow.

Armed Conformist was placed with Commando (for that particular challenge) to compliment the other ones. Medals really aren't always class-specific, but in conjunction with others, make the game far more complicated. I wanted to easy up just a tad on the Commando grade this time around, and felt like the ones put into play were more than enough to challenge Pahat.

  • 01.21.2009 4:24 PM PDT

Remember the Storm run I mentioned for Misanthrope? The one where I got stuck before the level ended and survived it? Well in addition to scoping out my Misanthrope Ark run for screenshots, I went through it as well. Viewing them in high-res is recommended.

Well you won't be getting the maps before me, I've got the LE pre-ordered and I live in the UK so the release date is the 27th of February. :-)

I live in Aus so I get them on the 26th :p

I decided to take a bit of a break from Crow's Nest, so I randomly tried a speedrun of Halo. (If you can call it a speedrun) I managed a time of 20:30 or somewhere about that. I can get the second grenade jump 4 times out of 5 easily and the infinite laser is awesome.

And for no real reason aside from wanting to go nuts with vehicles I'm thinking of attempting The Ark. Not for real, just practice and a general idea of how things will play out. But for the most part, I want a tank :)

Yeah, Aus FTW! Now taking bets on how long it'll take people to find the skulls. Personally I have a theory for each skull, but those theories are my theories ;)

Halo Wars will be tied into the March competition.

I will say nothing more on the matter until the time comes.

Er...do you mean the Mythic map pack will be tied to the March competition, or do you mean that Halo Wars will?

Hmm.... interesting.
Anyway I was asking Shadowstrike last night if when fighting the Scarab on the Storm the Sniper Rifle's rounds can penetrate the energy shield covering the core seeing as the Tilt Skull is active. He thinks they can but didn't sound too sure, can anyone who's done it recently confirm what he said please?
Oh and Shadowstrike I'm sorry about our bad timing for leaving last night, hopefully you guys should still have managed that Squad Battle game with ease despite being two down.

Yeah but that could technically be with the energy shield already down. But if it's been said before I guess it works so thanks for the extra input.

Gazas is correct. Using the Sniper Rifle to kill the Scarab is my favorite tactic and I did so on my re-work and Armed Conformist run of the Storm. If I recall correctly, it takes two shots to take out the shielding.

I'd recommend watching either video in my file share for it. The Scarab's behavior is rather predictable, hence how I get in to position for the finishing shots after the shield and light armor is removed. Just keep in mind that you should bring the Sniper Rifle from the first lakebed with. It has exactly six shots, as does the Sniper in the second lakebed. Having a few spare rounds is good, in the event you miss.
