Que Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

There's no way in hell you could get the code right, unless you're on a screen the size of your wall. The in-game slant it puts on the menu doesn't help either.

0/D and 8/B look exactly the same, not just similar (unless I managed to have every single 0/D or 8/B be just one of the two, and don't have both in the entire string of numbers). Unless the only difference was a line being 1 pixel thicker, and it's just smushing them because my HD tv is 4:3 and not 16:9.

Like I said, on my screen there is no difference between 0/D and 8/B. Your screen probably isn't crushing your aspect ratio though, where as mine is squeezing a 16:9 image onto a 4:3 screen. They should have just used a font where 0's are slashed, and B's have perfectly straight backs and a significantly smaller top section (unless I just had all 8's, every b/8 was rounded on both sides).

Judging by the amount of 8's and 0's in my code, and doing some quick math, I have 32768 possible outcomes of my 'sneakernet' code. Assuming it updates exactly every 5 mins (which I know it doesn't), the maximum time it would take me to find the correct code out of what I see on my screen would be 113 days straight. Not gonna happen.

I say the whole thing is bs, as from where I see it there is almost no way to get your code right without excruciating trial and error, and downloading the 'avi' downloads a 'png' image with the wrong extension.

So what happens when we figure out the decryption? In theory, we would be able to generate any armor we wanted to. That makes me think that there's a lot more to it than just your gamertag, callout, armors and colors.

Already happened.

My Halo 3 service record has several things that are incorrect. My KD is above 1.0 in both ranked and social, and I am a much higher rank. Also I have several perfections and my "player since" date is wrong because I have had Halo 3 since the launch date in 2007 (september 25 I think).

I really hate bungie right now, because the code is so -blam!- tiny that I can't even see it on my -blam!- TV that's a 50 inch! D:<

Cosmism is the name. Halo and shooters are my games. Live in Miami ,Florida. Been playing halo since the start. If you want to play hit me up through Xbox and message me, I play to win though, although I adore Custom Games.

Positive vibes.

I tried adjusting my display, but it still does not seem to be working. The bad thing is, it doesn't tell me if the code is write, or wrong. So long as it's 64 characters, it seems to be 'working,' in the sense that it submits successfully.

Edit: Never mind, I got it to work. I either typed one of the letters wrong, or just had to update my Service Tag again.

Also note that using a magnifying glass does not work.

...That only works on standard definition, not HD. My tv will not display a picture in standard, it is distorted and you can pretty much only see shades of color. Hell, when it starts on HD (1080i) the screen is all wavy and distorted, and you can't see crap. I have to go by memory to the display settings, change it to 720p to make it go black screen, cancel changing it to 720p by hitting 'B', and then it finally displays (I believe I already mentioned that the xbox does not like an HDTV being 4:3, but maybe not).

I just don't see why they had such a bad typesetter. Hex code displayed with a very small size, text is faded on the background, and a font was used that leaves 2 pairs of characters with no distinguishable differences. That's an annoying oversight, I can only assume they added it at the last second and only ever tested it with a screen shot from a development kit that they could blow up in size on their computer.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

quick question: does it update your regular spartan as well? (the one by your reach stats)

It's not updating again. Well, it's updating my 'Last Played Date,' but nothing else. :)
