Yep, a friend has the full Halo 3 game on his XBox. . He brought it over and we played on my 60" on deathmatch. It is freakin awesome! I'm a FPS guy mainly coming from the PC world mostly CS and Half Life so I've never played the first 2 Halos. But this game's graphics and physics are amazing. I bought an Elite a couple weeks ago in anticipation of this game and I'll definitely be at Circuit City on Tuesday to buy it. O0 We'll have to get some screen names up so we can play in Co-op mode. Some of the stuff you can drive around can have like 2 other people using the guns while you drive, some stuff can have like 10 people all doing stuff. This is going to keep me occupied for a couple months lol.

How did you're friend get it?


Something to do with Turret sites or something. I don't know, he tried to explain it lol. I do know that he had to send his XBox to somebody that moded it somehow so it would play burnt and ripped games. But it's the full retail version. I might send my Elite if to get the mod.

i assume he said torrent sites. Â*it has been out for the past week for download. and yes you need a modded xbox. Â* unless they came out with new flashers you need a hitachi or samsung dvd drive to do the mod. Â*i dont believe they have mods for the elite yet but i could be wrong. Â*a few people including my friend got their xbox banned from live for playing with burned games/ modded xboxes. Â*i was going to do mine but havnt bothered taking it apart and trying. with the current flashes though i hear they are currently unable to detect the mods. but there is always a risk of them figuring it out like they did with the first set of mods. you dont get your live account banned just the xbox.

I paid for my halo 3 in full yesterday. Then went home and played moto gp 07 for about 10 min. Then my 360 had a heart attack and died. Have to send it to microsoft due to a hardware failure. Who knows when i will get it back. I am pissed.

lol my xbox died about 6 weeks ago when i decided to play halo2. after the call i got the box in 3 days, and got another xbox back 2 weeks later total of about 3 weeks down. i was thinking of selling mine and picking up an elite too.

Can you toon them to play roms and mpegs? Maybe i will have that done to my 360 i am getting back.

LiquidLife

that's software, I'm talking about fixing the hardware when you get the dreded red lights flashing.

You are talking about modding, I don't like doing that, if you screw it up, say goodbye to your Xbox...

I can fix that too though, it's such a pain...

sidewaysevo
09-24-2007, 01:11 PM
I hope the new 360's don't have this problem.

LiquidLife
09-24-2007, 01:25 PM
they will until Microsoft uses a better cooling system.Â* In some countries Microsoft has done this, but not here.... hmmmm...Â* That's why MS has a 3 year warranty now for the red lights flashing.

Anyway, this is OT!!!!

Screen name: I LiquidLife I , PM me and lets play Halo 3 Tuesday night / Wednesday morning!!!

sorry still off topic:

it wasnt so much a cooling problem as a crappy production problem. from what ive read its a problem with the solder on certain components coming loose and the connections becoming bad. Â*even if it had no cooling that should not happen. Â*the reason for the 3 years extention was because it was a problem with the first couple batches of xboxes so it was to protect the early adopters. Â*they supposedly fixed the problem with the newer xboxes. especialy now that all the new ones use the elite mb. or so i have heard.

and the 360 doesnt have the same mod capability to play roms and vids that the old xbox had. Â*however the psp is good for playin roms thats all i use mine for lol.

LiquidLife
09-24-2007, 01:40 PM
^^ The root problem is cooling, the xbox gets really hot and makes the soldering expand, and then shutting off the xbox 360 cools it down and makes the soldering contract and after a while the soldering cracks and breaks and become disconnected

So either keep your xbox 360 on forever / never turn it on / or get a good cooling system

A cheap way is to take the casing off the xbox 360, and point a huge fan at it.Â* :)

EVOL EDO
09-24-2007, 01:48 PM
yes the root problem is cooling but like i said it shouldnt happen in the first place if it wasnt for crappy production, one way they fix it is to take it apart and heat gun it and resecure the solder points. and i still know people with the cooling systems that have gotten the rrod. even with great cooling a lot of core components will still get way hot just like any computer component but they shouldnt start disconnecting.

LiquidLife
09-24-2007, 01:53 PM
They won't get hot at all with a big ass fan pointed at the internals, and production includes the cooling system.

It's a lot easier and cheaper to add better cooling than screw with the processor!

EVOL EDO
09-24-2007, 02:12 PM
true but cooling is still a quick fix that wont solve all the problems unless they added liquid cooling lol. like my vid card had 2 fans and a huge heat sink. but the heatsink can still get hot to the touch and i dont even have the side on my comp case. but it is cheaper than messing with components. but im im sure they used better components when they redesigned the board for the elite as well as added better cooling. but we will still have to wait and see if any of the new batch have the same problem. even still if cooling was really a problem id expect the component to fail before becoming detached from where its mounted if its put together correctly. but thats just me.

back on topic. who is picking up their halo at midnight.im tempted to but ill just pick mine up tomorrow

LiquidLife
09-24-2007, 02:14 PM
Not quite, my xbox 360 heatsink was nice and cool with my fan pointed at it.

And it's not a quick fix, it's as permanant as you want it to be...

The Elite does not have better cooling.

Now you can go back on topic.

EVOL EDO
09-24-2007, 02:16 PM
i still say its crappy manufacturing. because i know people with no cooling that have not had their xboxes fail and i know people that bought the cooling systems that have still failed. maybe they were just unlucky.

lol yeah when i got the 12 plasma kills it was on beaver creek. but across beaver creek is crazy lol, that reminds me of grenade launchers in golden eye on n64 i bounced it off 3 walls into another room and landed on my buddies feet.Â* i usually just run up and throw the plasmas at peoples faces.

maybe ill pick up a wireless adapter too.Â* i hate unplugging the cable from my comp just to sign into live.

09-24-2007, 03:19 PM
well what's crazy about it is I was standing on one of the buildings, and blindly threw it across the entire level behind the other building, and it stuck someone, little did I know it would actually stick someone over there, hahaha.

I'm the orange icon with the #8, I recently changed my icon to just flat steel, haha.

This is the closest recording that Bungie did for Halo 2, I've been waiting for an option to record FPS games sinse Duke Nukem 3D!!!!!

I can't wait to record multiplayer on Halo 3, it's gonna be funny, and tight!
