So, has anybody compared the retail to the release version?

I'm still paranoid that Microsoft has pulled a fast one on the modding community. "Region-free" seems to be too convenient for such a hot release, too.

I'm sure microsoft is publishing it all over the world, so there is no need for region codes.
Region locks are only there so you can have a game published by publisher X in the US, and by publisher Y in europe for example.
That way publisher Y can be sure that european people will only buy his halo 3 and not import it from the US from publisher X and thus reduce their profits.

Microsoft doesnt have that problem. No matter where on the world you buy it, it's microsoft that gets the cash.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game, for what it is, a decent FPS with solid play mechanics. Does need to be played at the highest difficulty though so you're always thinking about survival.

I guess my problem with the game is the whole marketing machine that goes with it tbh, spending $20 million on celebrity parties to convince the mainstream that a good game is the best game ever
I think insults peoples intelligence and sticks in my throat a bit; at least Bioshock was judged on it's own merits.

Like, I was watching this videogame TV show, and it claimed to have tracked down a user that had managed to get an early copy of the game, the guy was a stereotypical clean cut catalogue model, and he told his story which concluded in him swapping all 17 of his current 360 games bar Halo 2 of course for 1 copy of Halo 3, and he was overjoyed.

Seriously insulting for them to think we're stupid enough to swallow this shit Very Happy

GoW is much better then this - and out 1 year earlier ! (Single/multi-player, graphics, sound, story, tension, the list goes on).
I would say that H3 is really 6.5/10 at best.

Hmmm wrong forum. That should be in technical. Not too busy to burn an iso but too busy to search?

Open notepad
Type this in it

Layerbreak=1913760
ccclx-halo3.iso

Save and rename to .dvd


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Check out the last part of the Halo 3 live action videos at http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/last-one-standing/halo-sweeps/halo-sweeps.html
It actually shows events just seconds before Halo 3 starts.

I hope well get the halo movie before 2010 or something.
good sci-fi movies are pretty rare these days.

I think CCCLX also released a rar fix containing the missing .dvd file.

What firmware do you have? Also to play coop multiplayer i think you need to go to the campaign screen and go to network. Change it from local to xbox live and your set.

You can 'join' any co op games you have to invite friends to one or join an open session via a friend or recent player via xbox live.

I've been trying to get together a legendary co-op session for at least a day... Sad If anyone wants to try legendary out with some skulls on Very Happy (mythic for one) add me to your friends.

Finished it yesterday, enjoyed it but would rate it 7.5/10. but i'm comparing to the PC's fps i have played.

Played Halo1 on the pc and enjoyed it aswell years ago, downloaded Halo2 yesterday and sofar i am enjoying thit more than halo3 !! and to be honest i'm suprised how well it looks for a xbox1 game compared to Halo3 for the 360!

just got done playing a marathon (for me) online session. Social Matchmaking ftw! But damn, I suck. I wish I could say I'd do better with a mouse/keyboard but after playing some CS a few weeks back I've really lost my touch. Ah well, as long as it's still fun I'll keep playing Smile

I wouldn't mind getting into some co-op though. I can't stand to play the single player solo.


i can has computar?!

Dont understand why split screen on H3 stuffs up the widescreen.

Basically horizontal split (fine) but cuts off a good 5" on either side of the screen! I'm GUESSING it's to keep the fps up, but damn does it suck!

Shame really.

Would love to try this online, might need to get another xbox lol Sad

I noticed that. Vertical splitscreen would have been better.

Lol go and buy a LCD screen WITH HD function. i can tell you that halo 3 is a lot better graphic wise then halo 2 if you think otherwise you are an idiot. period.

They did that to keep the 16:9 aspect ratio. This way people won't see a wider view then other people they play against (in MP ofc)

Vertical split could've been an option but I'd think panoramic view is better for shooters then a vertical view.
