Halo 3 Preview
Sorry there has been no posts over the last few days, but I have been quite ill and laid up in bed.. I still feel quite bad, but I have my trustly laptop to keep me company...
You may or may not know about the EGM (Electronic Gaming Mag) Exclusive on Halo 3.. Well they have been given some cool info buy Bungie that they are allowed to share on HALO 3...
Here is there story:-
" During our recent trip to Bungie's office, the developer showed us three multiplayer Halo 3 maps. And nestled in these three are similarities, familiarities and surprises that will fundamentally change the way you play in this ridiculously anticipated first-person shooter. Read all about the game in the December issue of EGM, on newsstands now, or continue on for an in-depth look at those maps themselves.
SNOWBOUND:The first is a small outdoor map blanketed in snow. The map's outer edges are guarded sentry-style by large guns, and while they weren't active in the pre-Alpha build we played, the plan is to have them kill players who try to venture outside of Snowbound's borders. Plus, several rock outcroppings cover one half of the perimeter with weapons strategically placed along the edge among the cover.
Two forerunner structures act as bases on either side of the map, with a series of intertwining tunnels beneath connecting them. You'll also find two other entrance points into the underground tunnel system. A shotgun is in the underground tunnel network, placed in the middle of explosive fusion coils (the things behind the Sniper Rifle on Lockout in Halo 2). Up on the surface, a Sniper Rifle sits in a similar room just underneath a snow drift -- and it, too, is guarded by explosive fusion coils.
What's New: Punitive parts of the environment that kill players aren't new to Halo's multiplayer (lifts have squashed players in multiplayer in the past, and Terminal from Halo 2's Multiplayer Map Pack had a train that would send players to respawn as well), but there will be auto-firing gun turrets on this map when it's finished. These guns, when we finally see them online next year (pun unintended), will be an extension of the environment-that-kills mechanic; maybe there will be a way to get them to target you and then use their fire against other players?
The Shield Doors are hands-down the best truly "new" multiplayer aspect found in Snowbound. These relatively transparent doors don't open or close, but they serve as barriers between Snowbound's underground tunnels. You can see through them, but explosions and gunfire don't pass through the doors. When the now-famous beeping of "no shields" tick comes up in multiplayer, those near a tunnel taking gunfire may have a chance to duck through the Shield Door and get just enough of a reprieve for their shield to recharge.
Automatic gun turrets in a Halo game? You better believe it. This is one of two mock-ups you can check out by clicking through to the Halo 3 screens page.
The weapon sets have seen some new additions (read about the new "sandbox" on page two) in addition to the resurrection, retooling and repurposing of one of Halo: Combat Evolved's most memorable weapons: the Assault Rifle. In the Halo 3 announcement teaser, Master Chief is very clearly carrying a weapon that looks very similar to the Assault Rifle in Halo. It is similar aesthetically, but that's about it.
The MA5B Assault Rifle in Halo: Combat Evolved had a 60-round clip, was fully automatic and ineffective at long-range shots (it could be, because the M6D Pistol was so great overpowered at that range). Only one of those three characteristics of the MA5B remain: it's still fully automatic.
With the MA5C Assault Rifle, the clip-size has been drastically reduced from 60 to 32, and as a trade-off, the weapon's accuracy at long-range has been increased. Why the revisions to the Assault Rifle? Well, the starting weapon in Halo 2 -- the SMG -- didn't exactly work out how Bungie wanted it to. Jamie Griesemer, lead designer on Halo 3 (you know, that "30-seconds of fun" guy), points to the two previous starting weapons and their problems. "It shouldn't do headshots... and it shouldn't be dual wieldable," according to Griesemer. The new MA5C Assault Rifle allows neither.
Instead, in the MA5C, Bungie believes it's found the third side of the multiplayer "Golden Tripod" (seriously... Bungie's words, not ours) -- Melee attacks and Grenades need to supplement a versatile, functional (but not too functional) starting weapon.
Ideal # of Players: 4-10. A five-on-five game pushes Snowbound to its claustrophobic limits (not in terms of performance, just in terms of fun). The tunnels beneath the bases get crowded with people (and corpses) pretty quickly.
Best Gametypes: Slayer, Team Slayer, Tank Flag, Ninjaball, Oddball, and King of the Hill. It's an excellent Slayer map because of its size, and we also played a bunch of "ball" games on Snowbound. The underground tunnels make a ball carrier navigating between bases and finding ways to protect him- or herself perfect for Snowbound.
How Bungie Played It: Bungie might or might not have told us that the fuel canisters guarding the Sniper Rifle and Shotgun were explosive, and since the canisters were retouched visually from the Halo 2 versions, we might not have noticed that they functioned the same -- until one of us strolled in to pick up the Sniper Rifle or a Shotgun, that is. Boom!
Additionally, guys like multiplayer designer Lars Bakken turned the Shield Doors into cat and mouse fiascos, popping their heads in and out tempting us to chase after them into, well, traps. In Ninjaball -- a mode where the ball carrier runs and jumps 150% faster and higher than the other players, we saw Bungie guys (who were at this time intermixed with us to show us the ropes) use the elaborate tunnel system to prolong the ball carrier's life and, well, set more traps. "
"HIGH GROUND:High Ground is a medium-sized map that revisits some familiar ground tread in Halo 2's Zanzibar. There's a beach and a compound, and the map is built with objective gametypes (One Flag CTF, Assault) in mind. Instead having of a giant spinning wheel and a huge distance to cover from beach to base, High Ground is a much more compact assault map.
Like Zanzibar, there are several entrance points to the compound and both teams have a vehicle and weapons of their own. Both teams have access to shotguns and the squad coming from the beach gets a Warthog and a Sniper Rifle. The base's garage houses a Ghost and a turret sits atop the gate, acting as the anti-vehicle weapon.
Also like Zanzibar, there are multiple ways to infiltrate High Ground's base. Along the left side of the map (approaching from the beach) is a small half-blown-apart bunker. Players can enter the bunker through the side and into a small tunnel system leading into the base, or they can use a Spike Grenade or a Plasma Grenade to blow apart the hatch on top of the bunker and drop into the tunnel system that way.
Along the right side of the base, players can jump up a group of rocks and onto the walkway where the turret sits. Also on the right side players can access a small pipe system that requires them to crouch (still with a click on the left analog stick) and infiltrate the base that way.
The beach team's Sniper Rifle is supposed to keep the turret in check -- it's no shield door, but it definitely provides another game of cat and mouse.
What's New: Destructible environments (OK, hatches covering bunkers) aren't entirely new, as much as they are neat, and alternate routes into a base aren't new -- that's just good map design. But High Ground is the map where Bungie let us mess with the first of Halo 3's new toys.
Griesemer calls one of the major changes to Halo 3 "the Brute Sandbox." The Brute Shot and Brute Plasma Rifle (a red plasma rifle with a higher rate of fire and as a result a faster overheat) were introduced in Halo 2, and in this installment fans will get the Spike Rifle and Spike Grenade.
The Spike Grenade has a spot in the HUD, just like plasma and frag grenades, and it combines the technology of both grenades. Visually, the grenade looks a bit like the Nail Bat weapon from Final Fantasy VII, with a ton of spikes sticking out of it. Those spikes are for grabbing onto a surface before the destructive, conical blast follows.
Here's a mock-up of what High Ground looks like, with various callouts that you can read much more clearly in the full size version linked on the screens page. Click the image above to check out all Halo 3 screens.
Halo players know the familiar "tink, tink" of a frag grenade bouncing at their feet, and they know the static hiss that comes just moments before the plasma grenade stuck to their helmet blows up. In Halo 3, they are going to get used to a new sound. When players throw the Spike Grenades, there's a noticeable "whoosh" -- the sound of the spikes cutting through the air before grabbing a wall like an explosive sea urchin.
Instead of a splash-y blast of damage, Spike Grenades blow a thin cone of energy, perfect for throwing one at your feet when you are being chased. If timed right, the blast will blow straight up into the air and your chaser will be counting backwards from 10 waiting to respawn.
Ideal # of Players: 6-16. While eight-on-eight on High Ground could definitely get a bit crampy, there's enough cover to hide behind to turn the map into a series of strategic strongholds if zergging the base for the flag fails.
Best Gametypes: One Flag CTF, Assault, Slayer, Team Slayer, and Eliminatio. With the break-in-steal-the-flag-and-flee-to-the-beach nature of High Ground, One Flag CTF is a natural choice. Inside the base at the very back is a huge SAMSITE missile station, something Bungie indicated could be a potential target for an Assault game.
Eliminatio is a brand-new gametype Bungie ran us through. In this multiplayer mode, the round ends when a team logs five kills. Players still respawn after they die (although the respawn timer is 15 seconds) and once a team has five kills the round ends. In order to win the gametype, you must win three of the five rounds. Eliminatio presents a completely different pace for a Halo game; the quick five-kill round is offset by the careful, meticulous set-ups, strategic trapping, and kill-swapping.
How Bungie Played It: "Do your job, Joe."
That's Luke Timmins (he's Abe Froman, -- the guy who had the Froman tower in Zanzibar named after him for his relentless abuse of Bungie employees with the Sniper Rifle from that post) chiding Bungie producer Joe Tung. The result of the "Do your job" is Tung racing to grab a Sniper Rifle and Timmins camping at the turret at the beginning of a round on High Ground.
Each round, for the most part, started like chess, with Bungie moving the same pawns into place -- the Sniper Rifle is the judicial system to the Turret's executive order. Occasionally, Bungie guys would rush down from the base and forcefully remove the sniper rifle from our hands, flooding toward the beach through the caves on the map's right side (if you're looking at the base from the beach). When they weren't rabidly defending the console that opens the gate on defense, they were whoring the Ghost. When they'd assault the base, typically two of their players would head in through the hatch on the left side, while a sniper (damn, Joe Tung, damn him) shut down the right side of the map entirely. "
"VALHALLA:In Norse mythology, Valhalla is Odin's Hall. In Halo 3, Valhalla is sacred in its own way. As the spiritual successor to Blood Gulch, Valhalla shares several similarities (and even more differences) with its symmetry-filled cousin. Bases are tucked on both sides of the map, and a river runs angularly through the terrain. Two elevated plateaus in the map's center hold weapons of their own -- on one sits a new shoulder mounted weapon, the Spartan laser, and on the other, a turret.
What's New: By the point in the day we saw this map, Bungie had rolled out a new starting weapon, a new grenade, a new one-handed weapon, and declared the Brutes would finally have a series of guns all their own. What's left -- a new vehicle? That's exactly it. Remember that whole "old is the new newness" business from the intro? Aside from the return of a new iteration of the Assault Rifle, Bungie has dusted off one of its long-shelved ideas from the Halo-verse for Halo 3's multiplayer: the Mongoose ATV.
"Press RB to ride Brokeback." The message flashed on the screen as Bungie demoed the four-wheeler. After announcing that the passenger in a Mongoose was "riding Brokeback" (and the Microsoft PR team pulling its heads out of its hands), the developers let us toy around with the new vehicle. Quick and agile, the Mongoose is pretty much designed for racing someone from point A to point B. The fastest ship in the fleet would require a new way to counter it -- the team admitted it's still thinking about how the rocket launcher might work in Halo 3 (it's lock-on system was a bit overpowered for blowing apart vehicles on the ground in Halo 2). Until the rocket launcher situation is sorted out, Bungie has another way to counter vehicles in Halo 3.
Enter the Spartan Laser.
A shoulder mounted rocket-launcher in appearance (see the EGM cover image in here), the Spartan Laser functions like no weapon currently in the Master Chief's arsenal. When using the Spartan Laser, there's a three-second delay while the weapon charges. A thin red sighting-laser shoots out of the gun, while in true Death Star fashion, the laser cannon charges. At the tip of the shoulder-mounted cannon, a sphere of energy boils before exploding into a single beam of light that completely obliterates whatever it hits during the shot. The laser does not persist; rather, it fires the burst of energy and dissipates.
How to use the Spartan Laser, then? Well, as an anti-vehicle weapon, its use is obvious: the sight laser lets you track the target while the pulse charges before completely eradicating everything in its path (including multiple Spartans if the ducks are all in a row), but the weapon ends up functioning equally well as an anti-personnel weapon.
Note the weaponry his back and the all new weapons in his hands. Halo multiplayer will never be the same again. Click the image above to check out all Halo 3 screens.
Kills made with the Spartan Laser are attributed as "Snipe kills" on the medal-log in the Post-Game Carnage Report (it's safe to assume those will be back, as well). However, the ease of use, despite the three second charge time, has Bungie concerned -- it is being extremely careful with Halo 3 to make sure one weapon doesn't become too useful (see: the Human Pistol in Combat Evolved).
By now, you've probably heard the term "Man Cannon," and you know it's real. In addition to vaulting Spartans half-way across Valhalla's terrain, the Man Cannons will also launch projectiles and some strategically placed boxes. Players can drop grenades onto them, launch the Mongoose (with guys riding Brokeback) off the lift, or even shoot the Warthog (though it's a pretty weak limp off of the lift instead of an airborne exploration).
While only the main center-launching Man Cannons have been discussed, there are actually two lifts on each base. The second lift launches Spartans to the side, either into the treeline or near a narrow path through some rocks (depending on the base).
Ideal # of Players: 6-16. Anything less than six will feel a bit empty, and with 16-player high jinks, the map will fill up quick. How do you feel about eight-on-eight Warthog/Mongoose only? Yeah, same here.
Best Gametypes: CTF Classic, CTF, and Team Slayer. This is the optimal flag-at-home-to-score map. The flags aren't underground in the bases (but some weapons are), and two ramps lead up the back of the Forerunner structures to the flags for an easy grab and eject off the Man Cannon to a waiting Mongoose.
How Bungie Played It: In addition to a handful of Bungie staffers being able to execute the shooting gallery-style duck hunt slaying of inbound Man Cannon'd Spartans, being able to drive the Mongoose much better than we could and just generally having played the game for, uh, six months longer than we had allowed them to attack with strategy. Attacks on bases unfolded in stages, with infantry arriving to start the murder and Mongoose vehicles arriving to escape. Several times, our own Mongoose guys were ganked for the ease of their escape.
As certain members of the Bungie team (Joe Tung) redefined the term "weapon whoring" with their constant grabbing of the Spartan Laser, we reminded them we should probably get to use it, since we had to write about it. They (he) begrudgingly allowed us to use it... once in awhile."
WOW!!!! After all that babbling from Like Smith of EGM i'm lost for words... Come on we want a DEMO..DEMO....DEMO...DEMO....

Halo 3 Latest Release News
There will be a new way to buy Halo 3 other than a boring box that sits in the pile collecting dust, there will be a "legendary edition" this is sort of a "special-special-edition" that consists of a Full-size replica of the Master Chiefs helmet that contains 4 DVDs with material.
1= The Game
2=Various documentaries and audio commentary
3=Spinoffs such as "Red vs Blue" and "Spark of Life"
4= ALL the cutscenes from all three games in Hi-def
what we know will be added to Halo 3
2 New Weapons:
Spiker: the weapon of choice for brutes.
Spartan Laser: An anti-veichle weapon, fires a red laser that pretty much destroys any veichle that is hit.
A New Vehicle: Moongoose: The ATV that was supposed to be in Halo 2. It carries 2 people and it doesn't have any weapons so it's mainly a means of getting from point A to point B as fast as possible.
There are 3 levels which are revealed, Valhalla = blood gulch, High Ground = Zanzibar, Snowbound = Frost bite.
I will try to find out more info for you on the maps as i know thats what you all want to see, maybe a picture or two soon!!!

Now thats a Modded Xbox 360!!
Is ther any room left in side?????
Nice Job my son!!!!Ben Heckendorn’s Xbox 360 laptop is his latest mod. He is well known for previous portable projects like the nPod, PPS2, and N64p, Ben was commissioned by a generous benefactor to somehow make a 360 for the next Gen and since this is the great Mr. Heckendorn we’re talking about, slapping a hinged LCD onto an out-of-the-box console simply wouldn’t do. Instead, Ben spent three months designing and building the so-called Xbox 360p, machining a custom aluminum laptop enclosure by hand into which he stuffed a keyboard, 1,280 x 720 Westinghouse LCD, and get this — even a custom-built water cooling system to replace the 360’s stock, bulky heat sinks. The end result is a polished, professional looking (albeit heavy — this machine weighs in at about 14 pounds) laptop complete with WiFi, USB ports, obligatory glowing green ring, and converged power supply so that the monitor and gaming system only require a single cable snaking out the back. Well done, Ben, well done; but as you yourself note, there’s no such thing as resting on one’s laurels, so we can’t wait to see what you have in store for the PS3 and, most especially, the swing-your-arms-like-a-maniac Nintendo Wii. Hit the jump to check out the 360p’s guts, and then head over the Ben’s site for a ton of photos and one of the more thorough build walkthroughs that we’ve come across…

An Idiots Guide to Bridging Halo 2
Bridging in Halo 2 on XBOX Live is the act of giving a friend host by manipulating the system. It can be hard to learn, but with a proper tutorial, it will become easy. There are two ways to bridge. The one I will discuss here is bridging through a router. You can also bridge through a crossover cable, but this is harder, and takes more equiptment. When I learned how to bridge, I didn’t understand the technical terms, so this tutorial is all in layman’s terms. Here it goes:
Is Your Setup Right?:Internet comes out of a hole in the wall. From the hole in the wall, a wire goes into a box. From the box, more wires go out. One wire goes to your computer. Another wire goes to your XBOX. This is the proper setup. If you don’t have this setup, you can’t bridge through a router. But if you do, you can proceed to the next step.
Acquiring & Installing Software:Bridging requires two pieces of software. They are called Cain & Abel and Zone Alarm Pro. Cain is free, but Zone Alarm Pro (or ZAP, for short) costs money, assuming you obtain it legally(but if you look hard enough you can find it free..If not spend the £20.. is a cool firewall anyway..i have used it for ages now on several P.C’s no problem.) First uninstall and existing firewall I.e crappy Norton..(you dont need that crap on yor P.c), Then install ZAP. Follow on-screen instructions, and it’s self explanatory. You will have to restart your computer. Next, install Cain & Abel. If it asks, you DO need to install the packet driver. Now you have all the software. Proceed to the next step.
Setting Up Software:ZAP is self-explanatory, but Cain is harder. To set up Cain, for our purposes, is a detailed proccess. I will guide you through the steps:1) Sign into XBOX Live.2) Open up Cain.3) Press the “Sniffer” tab at the top.4) Press the “Enable Sniffer” button. It is the button directly to the left of the yellow “Poison” button.5) Press the blue cross button.6) A box should appear. Check “All hosts in my subnet” and push “OK”.7) Press the “APR” subtab at the bottom of the screen.8) Click anywhere in the top white box. This will cause the blue plus button to be available.9) Click the blue plus button. A box will pop up.10) Select the top IP address on the left side. More IP addresses will pop up on the right side.11) Highlight all IP addresses on the right side, then click “OK.”12) IP addresses should appear, and they should be “Idle.”13) Highlight all IP addresses that appear, and click the yellow “Poison” button in the top left corner.14) Status shoud change from “Idle” to “Poisoning.” Then, IP addresses should slowly start popping up in the bottom window.15) If all you followed the above steps, you are ready to start bridging.
Bridging Host:1) Find the person who you want to bridge host. Have him go create a party by himself. This is VERY IMPORTANT.2) Join his party.3) Go to Zone Alarm Pro and click the “Firewall” tab on the left.4) Click the “Zones” tab at the top right.5) Click the “Add” button at the bottom right, and select “IP address.”6) Add Bungie’s IP address. It should show up in Cain, and it is currently 65.59.234.161. Put it in your trusted zone and name it “Bungie”. Always keep this in your trusted zone, and you will only have to do this step once.7) Now find the IP address of the person you are giving host. Use Cain, and ask him to go to www.ipmonkey.com if you are not sure which IP is his. When you find out his IP, add it to your trusted zone the same way you added Bungie’s IP in step 6.8) Click “Apply” in the bottom right hand corner.9) Go to the “Main” tab at the top right, and then set your “Internet” firewall to “High” and your “Trusted” to “Medium.”10) Have your friend start the game. He will get host, automatically! If you did everything right, you will get empty boxes in the MatchMaking screen at Step 2, and you will never join someone else’s game, you will create your own and wait for other “NOOBS” to join it.
If you cant get this right give up and take up Knitting……

Get yourself a cool looking Gamer Card
For those of you who have linked a xbox live gamercard to your website or blog spot, you may have tried to edit the HTML to make it look cool… why do all that hard work goto http://my.livecard.net/ and all you need to do is to enter your gamertag and choose your style and BAM!!! cool gamercard…. As you can see i have quite a cool Gamercard……
There are many options to choose from not just halo…. but i love halo so ovbious choice… If you are of a arty mind you can use there design tool and create a cool one yourself with uploading pic’s and editing… i found this a bit slow and hard to use and after hours of fiddling the Gamercard never lined up correctly… but its worth a play…..
My recommendation of the week……. check it out… even if you haven’t got a website or blogspot email me at halo360@btinternet and i will add it to my site….. http://www.halo360.co.uk/ to show it to the world…. and if i get enough of you sending the gamercards i might give out a 2month free trial code to the best one…. remember do not add anything rude as i will just delete it and block you…..

The day Bungie.net banned me
Today i managed to get banned from accessing bungie.net for 7 days... It was all down to expressing my right to share other halo websites with other members.. they sent me this message by P.M...
"Because everything has a place that's why. You wanting to mention those two sites goes in The Classified. The topic about MLG goes in New Mombasa. Stuff about the Halo Graphic Novel goes in The Underground. It's to keep order and some sense of cleanliness to the forums. Even if you don't think that your topic will be seen in The Classified, it doesn't justify posting it in the wrong forums. The reason that there aren't many replies to the posts in The Classified is because it's against the rules. The Classified is like a newspaper section. You don't reply to an add in the newspaper with another add, you call the number provided. That's what the PM system is for. Speaking of the PM system, that's where you're causing a problem right now. Making threads directed at other users is against the rules. You're breaking the rules right now. If you want to talk to me specifically, send me a PM. I like you Lplate and I understand that you're just having a chat, but please start following the rules of the site. What you're doing is becoming spam, and I can't allow it anymore. I'm going to lock that last thread. Anymore of those things and I'm going to have to blacklist you for a week. Please, knock it off. "posted by Senor Leche on bungie.net forum
The funny thing was i was only saying that most people read the main forum and not the classifieds and that how are we ment to now what section is what when you name them silly names like "New Mombasa" isn't that in Africa not bloody Halo.. And then i asked if bill gates was there ready to slap him if he stepped out of line...
Then my screen showed this message....
"Yes, Bill Gates and I are having a party as we moderate the Bungie forums together. He says "Hi" by the way.Please stop this insanity, I've been more than patient. Last warning. "Posted by Senor Leche on bungie.net forum
And then i was banned... How sweet... if you want to contact Senor Leche email him @ senor_leche@microsoft.com
I had great fun doing this and would not recommed pissing off people at bungie.net unless you are like me and have several accounts in diffrent names and can get access straight back... hahaha dam you Bungie.net

Halo 2 Playlist update soon.. Create your own Playlist's!!
To the point, the next playlist update is currently in the works, testing will begin next week and we have a bit of information to share with you regarding what changes will take place. First and foremost, I'll cover the removal of Rumble Hardcore. For the vast majority of players this will not make you crawl into a corner and cry a thousand tears. While Rumble Hardcore does provide some intense gameplay which is popular amongst a small group of our fans, it's simply not popular enough to hold its weight as a matchmaking playlist. Perhaps you're asking 'Why do you remove playlists, why not just leave them all and add more?' which is a question we find ourselves answering on a fairly regular basis, so here's the short and sweet version.
Matchmaking is all about numbers. Who is playing in which playlists and how often they play. The purpose of matchmaking in Halo 2 is to enable users to find matches quickly and easily in a variety of popular categories of gameplay. The primary reason that matchmaking is reserved for popular categories of gameplay, is that for the service to function correctly there has to be a significant number of users active in each playlist at any given time. When a playlist drops in usage and users have a hard time finding a match, matchmaking isn't really serving its intended purpose any longer. That is the point in which we examine usage and start considering changing or removing playlists. We love our fans and we're excited about the fact that matchmaking has remained a very successful method of assisting players in enjoying the game even more than they can by only playing with their close friends, but the times do come when we have to remove something that people enjoy, it's unfortunate but it is necessary.
Now on to the happy stuff, new hotness! We'll be adding a new playlist in the next update which is the first iteration of a new program we're trying, in which we allow organizations from the fan community to design their own short term playlist. The lifetime of these playlists will vary depending on popularity, so if people really enjoy them we'll keep them around a little longer. The playlist we're adding was designed by a well known and established organization within the Halo fan community, we're not going to announce who they are quite yet, but we hope you'll enjoy the 'eccentric' twist that it adds to matchmaking playlists.
In addition to this new playlist, we'll be revising a few of our pre-existing lists. Double Team will undergo a much desired revision in which we're addressing some starting weapon and weapon set concerns. Notably, we're removing the sole 2v2 Pistols game on Lockout and we're also removing Gemini from the playlist entirely. SMG starts are being added to Midship games in Double Team and we're changing the weapon set to Human for Midship and Warlock on slayer gametypes only. There are a few other changes to Double Team that we'll address when we're closer to releasing the playlist, so keep an eye on the Optimatch forum for more information.
The Team SWAT playlist is holding strong at #2 just below Team Slayer. There has been a lot of discussion regarding the rank status of Team SWAT, many good points have been made to change the playlist to be ranked but just as many have been made to keep it unranked. We're still considering the future of this playlist and we're not making any changes to the rank status of it at this time, if you wish to discuss this issue you may do so in the Optimatch forum where there is a dedicated discussion thread for that specific topic. As for changes to the Team SWAT lineup, we're removing objective games from Lockout to address some negative gameplay issues; we're also removing Gemini from the Team SWAT playlist entirely. Gemini is an enjoyable map, but with the absence of grenades and the excess of teleporter camping on the map, gameplay is shifted from what SWAT is meant to be about, accuracy and awareness, not camping teleporters.
Not many other playlists are being affected in this update, as we're working on various other things at this time. It's also worth mentioning that Team SWAT gametypes in the Team Training playlist will now use SWAT Classic settings from the Team SWAT playlist, which means no more grenades in those gametypes. As always, since we're not yet finished with testing this is all subject to change, so we'll keep you informed of our progress when testing is completed!

Master Chief to kick DOA4's Butt.....
Bungie's confirmed that the Halo character set to appear in Dead Or Alive 4 is Spartan 458, effectively a girl in a Master Chief outfit. "Those shots are real," says Bungie's weekly update. "They are taken from an early iteration of the character by [DOA4 developer] Team Ninja."
Bungie reckons she looks "totally natural" even without a gun, and has an "awesome" fighting style. "And wait until you see her special moves and counters. And yes, we know what her back-story is, because we created it. We'll tell you about it soon."
As you can see Spartan 458's DOA stage will be as familiar to Halo fans' eyes as her iconic armour - in fact, it's probably the closest you'll come to seeing next-gen Halo on Xbox 360 in the coming months.
The American and European Xbox 360 launch line-ups have yet to be revealed, but during its pre-TGS briefing Microsoft Japan said that DOA4 would be among seven games available at the Japanese launch on December 10th. That said, it had also claimed that Ghost Recon would be among them - and that's since slipped.
In other words, we're not quite sure when DOA and Halo fans will be able to wrap their thumbs around Spartan - or even how and where she's made available in the game - but as soon as we hear something we'll let you know.

Halo 3 360 Faceplate
Halo 3 can be on your Xbox 360 sooner than you think. Online retailers have begun showing listings for a Halo-themed Xbox 360 faceplate, a detachable plastic covering for Microsoft's next-gen console skinned with art from Bungie's popular shooter.
If the art seen as accurate, the faceplate will be blue and feature Master Chief's visage right near the console's "ring of light." Retailers list the faceplate as on sale from the October 24 for $19.99. In the U.S but no U.K date yet. Microsoft was not available to confirm the item as of press time.

I have heard alot of people talking trash about which clan is best is it the H3P oris it KSI is it XGC, the list goes on.. I ask these people if they even know what these Clans actually stand for and none of those idiots even knew... Most clans try to keep it a big secret, so i thought i would break the mould and tell everyone what they actually stand for.....
I might be a bit biased because i run H3P (Halo360-Pro) But i Still Keep mys KSI name... its a comfort thing... anyway all the below clans deserve respect in there own right.. They all shook the gaming world by storm and create a unity....
H3P=Halo360 Pro
KSI= Knowledge, Superiority, Integrity.. Origanally (Killing Service Inc.)
XGC= Xiled Gaming Clan
FSI= Free Standing Insert (Gay Germans)
MLG= Major League Gaming
PMS= Psychotic Men Slayerz (Or Girlz who ar ON!!)

Halo 3 Launch Date 16th November 2006
Halo 3 is it Set to be A November Release Date
According to several leading USA Retailers - (Best Buy being the one getting the most media attention.) the release date is the 16th Nov 2006 for Halo 3 on the Xbox 360. What's most interesting is the year they specify (2006). (if you check Best Buy.com now it will show 1st Mar 07....
Damm that four eyed git....He Reuins everything....MS Dos Noob)
Anyway if this is true, this is a strategic ATTACK and would make sense in order to combat the hype surrounding the launch of the PS3 in November.
As you may remember earlier this year Bill(I OWN THE WORLD)Gates said "We have a PLAN for the PS3... and it is called HALO 3"
This may or may not be a true date, but the hype and millions of pre-orders have begun... My answer.......BELIVE THE HYPE AND MAKE A PRE ORDER JUST INCASE.... what have you got to loose.. you will buy the game anyway might as well be near the top of the list...
