That is a really good deal. I remember buying Halo 1, Halo 2 and the mulitplayer Disc for £20. Seen as though we're both noobs at the game it'd be fun to play sometime.

 

Yeah sure. I've not even played a bit of Halo yet so, I'll be mega n00b but I'm well up for a game of any of the games I've got.

Gears of War PATCH OUT

I went on and firstly the patch on the dashboard..whats that for anyway?

I wasnt expecting a Gears update, do you think this is for those glitches?

It wont be the new maps, it was really quick.

 

 

Why don't we ever get anything in the big box on the right when you go in the marketplace? I see pics of Americans setups and they have adverts for games etc.

Its loads of stuff, mainly grenade tagging, voice glitch, removed camers from ranked matches, no host names (so people dnt join their friends or join the hosts side), better cheating software, fixed glitches, bugs etc...

I saw that gun when me and my bro were playing and my bro tried to get to it and died cos of the Kryll bid things. I didnt know that you didnt get teh achievement

* Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance

Yes! I do hate it when poeple just run up to you and stick it in you when they're like a metre away.

Dear lord, just reminded how crap driving that vehicle in Halo is. I want to cry.

 

You're a tool man...

Halo 1/2 have fantastic control once you get used to it.

Controlling the camera along with the warthog is a great idea.

1, it allows you to drift at high speed

2, it makes sure the camera is always directly where you need it

3, gives great over all sense of speed.

As much as I hate to agree with Jordan, he's right on this one. I don't see why the controls are terrible.

 

Besides, it's not like you're using it for precision racing (unless you're dicking around on Zanzibar). You use it for a quick getaway and/or part of a co-ordinated assault.

There is a point to that control scheme though. There's so many buttons for Halo that there isn't any room for one to be the accelerator of the warthog, so using up and angles on the stick to turn was the best option. Rather have the button, but like I say, there wasn't any space to map it out.

I don't see the point in lim.ed bonus maps. Those mapps will probably seldom be played online.

 

"Wanna play lost planet online on dark harvest?

No. I didn't buy the lim.ed...."

 

Meh.

 

It'll probably end up as DLC, otherwise it is pretty pointless.

Didn't reckon too much on the multiplayer from the demo anyway, seemed a bit clunky.

My copy was posted today anyway.
