I'm pretty sure it was common knowledge for awhile that the PC version has redone textures.
[QUOTE=certified;37992382]I'm pretty sure it was common knowledge for awhile that the PC version has redone textures.[/QUOTE]
Gearbox didn't state that they remade any textures, and this appears to be the only one. In fact the PC version is missing textures that defined reflection masks, shading masks, and plasma masks because they couldn't reproduce the technology. What redone textures are you talking about?
Also both these textures are the same resolution, neither is higher definition than the other, what's the point of remaking it?

Decades from now, when historians evaluate the war, what will they say about us? Will they claim that our victory was ultimately fruitless? That it failed to secure a lasting peace, or worse, that it was only a prelude to far greater horrors that now lay ahead?
My hope – OUR HOPE – is that history would instead view this war as a catalyst. That the last thirty years were a crucible, a threshing floor for our species, sifting out our fears and frailties. And that ultimately it made us stronger and more vigilant in the end, fully prepared for whatever will come next. After all, what good is struggle if there is no change? What good is a fire if the sword is not made stronger?
Attached are four reports accounting the major contingency structures our species currently faces in the wake of the war. Please evaluate them closely. Their outcomes will dictate how history views us, or if history even views us at all.

As Machiavelli once said: “the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and, even to avoid a war, would not let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only put off to the advantage of others.”
Likewise, we must deal with these issues head-on, without fear and without hesitation. We can afford no other stance.

Halo CEA for the 360 uses that Keyes texture in 'Classic Mode'.
I think CEA was based off the PC version of the engine, Gearbox is credited in the CEA for the PC version.

That Bulletin has Juicy info on the Progression system. Looks like you can progress your Spartan in any mode that uses your Spartan including forge. Except Custom Games, unless that is classified as War Games.

One thing that bothered me in Halo CEA is how they used Captain Keyes's full navy uniform in 343 Guilty Spark instead of the Marine fatigues he wore in the original game.
After watching the CEA terminals... I actually quite like/feel sorry for 343 now.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;37986140]i got an xbox with like a 10gb harddrive or something and BF3 took up literally all of that. so i had to go get myself a 300gb one. I CAN INSTALL EVERYTHING NOW
look at it this way, would they rather have extra discs which THEY pay for, or would they rather basically force you to buy a bigger hard drive by making lots of things downloadable / install. in the point of view of a business they're going to make more money by doing it this way[/QUOTE]
I solved the issue, my brother have a 300GB wich is basically empty after he moved his stuff onto our Slim. (I play on a regular 360)
Alot of space...

4 MACs, holy shit.
A ship that size they could fit Super MACs onto it.
I wonder what Rapier and Howler missles are?
Weve seen it with Paris class frigate escorts, do you think it could carry them in some sort of hanger bay like the Shadow of Intent did with the FUD?
I have so many questions about this ship, its just so badass.
I really want to see the Infinity in action, maybe get into a fight with that Storm fleet.

Well, isn't humanity supposed to be vastly more powerful now since they're using engineers to start to utilize and understand a lot of forerunner tech, with this ship at the bleeding edge of this new tech?

So you're saying they made this in between halo 3 and halo 4? really?
[QUOTE=Banshee FrieNd;37996408]So you're saying they made this in between halo 3 and halo 4? really?[/QUOTE]
They finished it in between the games, I think construction had begun during the Human/Covenant War. As they began to cooperate with engineers and start working with forerunner devices they funneled it into the Infinity.

It's already been proven that it is. The PC version was more detailed and easier to work with than the Xbox version.
Interesting that the Spanish leaker has only decided to show the opening and Haven gameplay so far. Hopefully the ending isn't posted like Halo 3's was.

Achievements, hes already completed challenges and ranked up to level 5.
When they get wind of this, I'm assuming he'll either be banned or have his stats reset at launch.
The real question is how did he even get the leaked copy? Did he rob a truck or something?

It's a possibility, but seeing as how that goes against their rules you would think that they'd have told their friend "Hey don't play it online and don't let anyone know you have it.". Because if that's the case, whoever gave him the copy could face some kind of punishment such as being fired.
lol what lots of retailers have accidentally sold games early. a fucking 711 down the street from my place sold MW2 like 2 weeks early and i just walked over and put it on the counter paid for it and walked out. could've easily happened for that guy
