Or beg someone for one of their 2-month-free things.

There's probably a patch and/or mod somewhere to add bots if you can be bothered finding it and/or hooking you Xbox upto your router.

they need a grinder mode like mechassault has...

Was great... Frustrating ending, but blah.
I'm just wondering about one thing: where has that level shown in the E3 video gone? Was cool, had plot and all, so why have they scrapped it?

Taristin · **Reply #163 on:** November 28, 2004, 10:56:44 am

It was a smokescreen mission? (I thought they only showed off the Zanzibar level in E3... but I didn't pay attention)

Jetmech Jr. · **Reply #164 on:** November 28, 2004, 10:59:34 am

They didn't scrap it per say, but they did change it. A lot. The New Mombassa mission (the second one, I think) is it. There are

of similar scenes and points where they used the dialogue from that mission.

Go play Metropolis. Go see the E3 demo mission in its final form.

That was E3 2004, we're talkin E3 2003.

Metropolis is my favorite, followed closely by Delta Halo...

He's also unemployed......either a 'free agent' or he has nothing left to 'live' for.

The Arbiter is my favorite mission so far.

Spoiler:

Ok... the alien AI Cortana speaks of. I'm thinking it's the Grave mind (again) but this time, after playing the last Chief level, I realized cortana saying that a particular section of High Charity was under higher security. It also happened to be the part where there was flood warts on all of the walls, and the lights were out.

Jetmech Jr. · **Reply #171 on:** November 28, 2004, 09:49:22 pm

Spoiler:

I think the A.I. is just, well, a covenant A.I.

. Not everything has a double meaning, you know

Taristin · **Reply #172 on:** November 28, 2004, 10:19:00 pm

Spoiler:

It's not a double meaning... that doesn't even make sense. If it was Covenant AI They would have made it clear. Instead, they alluded as much as possible that it was different than any other AI encounterred by Cortana in the past.

uhhh, dude, forerunner ship, forerunner AI, since the forerunner were adept at making autonomous systems, it stands to reason that that ship would have one helluva potent AI on it.

Taristin · **Reply #174 on:** November 28, 2004, 10:50:22 pm

Spoiler:

Are we certain that she was talking about that, though? I'm willing to accept that over covenant AI. But to be honest, when I was playing through that level, I was a little preoccupied fighting off brutes and flood to be hanging off her every word...

And on an unrelated note... seems HotMail just upped my account from 2 Mb to 250 Mb... Joy.

Spoiler:

well, the "heart" of high charity was a forerunner ship, the covenant are aparrently adept at retasking forerunner systems, I.e: the single ship was powering all of high charity, the reason the lights were going out, there's two of 'em, one is the flood (duh) and the fact that the prophet of truth was "disengaging" the forerunner ship from high charity, which means disconnecting whatever power conduits there would be present.

Taristin · **Reply #176 on:** November 28, 2004, 10:59:37 pm

You know... I really need to start thinking further into these things... That makes so much sense. I just never bothered to think about it...

IceFire · **Reply #177 on:** November 28, 2004, 11:42:11 pm

Anyone have any experience with this (http://www.gamespyarcade.com/support/tunnel_xbox.shtml) as an X-Box Live alternative? Looks pretty nifty...a bit more of a hassle but I'm a cheapie and I'd do it if it works ok.

Taristin · **Reply #178 on:** November 29, 2004, 12:09:35 am

That's just like XBconnect. Only it's through gamespy... XBC is free, or you can opt to pay a one time fee and have some useless features unlocked... I didn't read enough into the GS one, but I've had excellent experience with XBC.

Also, apparently, only the first Halo is supported. However, with XBC, all games that support the system link are supported. Check them out... XBConnect.com

Deepblue · **Reply #179 on:** November 29, 2004, 12:21:42 am

Damn it. I really wish XB Live would start working for me.
