Out of Vallhalla

There is a way to get out of Vallhalla.. You may have seen the Video on You Tube...But that exit point has now been stopped...
There is another route out so i'll write my T.U.T now whilst it's fresh and i will create a video later and post on YOU Tube... I dont want the nice people at Bungie.net to block this on....

1: Go to the blue base
2: Get the Mongoose
3: Grab a passenger
4: On the left side is a group of two rocks, (the same one's you use to jump on for the other exit)
5: Reverse the mongoose between the small rock in front of the two rocks and stop when the rear starts to lift.
5: Get your passenger to jump off and face the sea.
6: Then they Crouch walk foward and there through...

**I think this is best for V.I.P becasue if you get the V.I.P out of the map, they are behind a Invisible wall and protected**

If you want the banshee,Warthog or Mongoose out with them, then dump that into the water next to the rocks and throw a grenade at it so it bounces out...
Im working on a video... I will be released soon... But only when the Beta has EXPIRED!!!

O00 whats it Mean?

Have you heard the Latest rubbish on Halo 3...

"Did you know that the Service Tag I.D (o00) is reserved for use by UNSC Command... I.e Bungie Staff... So if you are playing a game with a player who has the service tag o00 it's a good chance you can input your thoughts direct to the powers that be"

Yeah Right... I have heard far too much of this on Halo 3.....
The real answer is it's reserved for GUEST'S....

Next time you play a game and you see a GUEST... Look at there service I.D... (o00)...

Beta Custom Lobby Glitch

Here are the instructions on how to create a custom lobby, so you can play you games your way!!

1. Have 3-6 people in matchmaking (It works best with 6)
2. Have another friend create another party by himself
3. Have the leader join your friends party and bring the party with him.
4. Most of the time, some one will have been booted and put into custom game lobby.
5. Tell the person in custom games to switch the Network: to xbox live and then invite everyone else.

Halo 3 Beta Play Review

Being one of the lucky one's to get an invite from Bungie.net to review the Beta before general release, I feel compounded to share my views on the most antasipated games ever...!!!

I will break them down into 5 area's for ease...

DASHBOARD...

On loading the game you enter an unfamilar zone.. It is a very well thought out area to be.. I only took my a few minutes to know my way around and felt as if i had used it for years....

Rating 10/10

MAPS...

You get to play 3 maps... High Ground, Snow Bound & Vanhalier..

High Ground gives the impression of an deserted Army Fort... it has lots of area to hide and surprise the opponent.. It has lots of trees that are easy to find routes to the top of... & with the addition of portable lift the are ledges that you get get some real height on...

Snow Bound is a Alien base plonked in the middle of a snow covered abyiss.. It is surrounded by parimiter guns, which auto lock on a shoot the merry hell out of you if you leave the area.. The are to bases, linked by several tunnels... Not to keen on this one due to the sniper spawns on one side and the devisator on the other.. two very diffrent weapons.. If you are blue then you will get the snipe and usually win!!

Vanhalier is my favirote map.. It is a vaste forest area with a stream link to bases together.. Both bases have man cannons which shoot you high in the air for instant battle and routes at the side to sneak around into battle.. the best thing on this map is the portable chain cannon.. it rocks.. even if it does make you move slow.. but if you have some cover you will own..

Rating 8/10

GRAPHIC'S....

These are still in Beta mode but the overall feels it not bad.. the colours are rich and you can feel the depth and scale of the map.. Im a little disapointed on the physic engine.. there is not damage to the surrounding areas for you battles and if you see someone when you have the sniper and you target goes red and they are behind a leaf or a wall but you can see are part of the body, when you shoot them it will not hit them.. Does need some work. But general very well worked...

Rating 8/10

PLAYABILITY....

Well i could go on about the for hours, but i'll keep it short... I could and have played this for hours and note got bored and thats only with 3 maps.. So the full release could last and last...

Rating 10/10

SOUND....

This is probably the best improvement.. the gun fire sounds like a battle in Saving private ryan.. The shoots echo around the maps and give a real sence of direction.. Vehicles sound rich and powerful and explosions sound like a WMD...

Rating 10/10

OVERALL...

This is a very good game dont get me wrong but there are several bugs that need to be fixed.

1: To use your radio you need to press the D-pad.. This is very annoying when you are in the heat of battle and need to give out instructions or to repsond..

2: Again with the radio.. Every time you press the D-pad you get a strange metal spring noise in you ear when you click and when you finnish talking... Damn it's annoying and loud..

3:There are several grenades for you to use, why not swap the left bumper for comms and the D-pad directions to throw diffrent type grenades.

Other than that i am enjoying every last minute of this game and look forward to the full release with the Campaign side included..

Halo 3 Beta Release Date...

Halo 3, 13 month xbox live gold card goes on sale on the 20th april 2007.. Sources tell that it will also contain a Beta invite and this will be the Beta day Launch!!!

All we can say is.. Watch www.bungie.net daily and them & only them, will release the info on the public Beta release date!!!

Problem sorted...

Relating to my rant below on xbox saves... i have found the answer.. Shipping from Amazon on the 6th April..... click here to pre-order!! £29.99

Xbox & Xbox 360 Game saves

It was announced over the past week that the list of Xbox 360 Backwards compatible games from the old Xbox has been expanded... Most of the games on the list i won.. However you maybe aware that there is no way that you can transfer game saves from the Xbox to the 360, Unless you use either a datel action reply memory pack for both machines or you have a U.S.B hd hack pod..

Well i find this a stupid state of afairs. I can understand that microdoft have done this to stop the transfer of modified files but surely the answer is simple.. We all more or less use live!! Why cant there be your own gamertag data bank on live. I'll explain.. If we all had a online xbox storage bank we could upload our game saves to a central server (which all the large ISP provided anyway) and then draw our save directly from that bank. Microsoft have the ability to trace any modified file types anyway.. so if any file types that were modified were use, they could issue bans as they currently do with modified systems of game disks. Come on microsoft i dont want to spend another week getting my car profile up in Forza 1 just so i can have a quick race against my mates.. nor do i want to fiddle around plugging in my old dust ridden Xbox and playing with the brick controler, which we all know causes RSI.. So i emplore you.. please create so form of game save transfer from console.. It's not hard, Sony & Nintendo have been doing it for years!!!

XBL Down!!! Halo 3 BETA??

Pulled this from xbox.com
"
Newsflash:
Xbox Live, Xbox.com Offline March 27, 2007
We've got some scheduled maintenance coming up and want to let all of you know that both the Xbox Live service and Xbox.com will be offline and unavailable starting at midnight Pacific Daylight Time on Tuesday March 27, 2007 for approximately fourteen hours."

They say for scheduled maintenance, but 14 hours that one long shift!!!

All this talk about Halo 3 Beta on April Fools Day!! mmm... Who know's what to belive.. maybe it will happen.. Especially now seeing XBL is going down...All i can say is April 1st is such a clever day to release a BETA on.. Everybody wants to belive it's true.. but has a small amount of doubt that is all a trick. But rest-assured we will all put our copies of crackdown in on April 1st and either get the Holy Grail of all BETA downloads or the guys a Bungie will be laughing there Pink socks off111
