[QUOTE=Xionasis;23656898]The old xbox scratch disks the same way, that point is invalid, why people keep bringing it up I don't know. But it also has built in super fast wi-fi, 250 gb HDD, special design, new touch buttons, and custom sounds. It also comes with two controllers.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the backup, Arousing Avatar Man.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;23656836]It scratches disks if you move it, as does the original Xbox. It also comes with two controllers, far more memory, and makes Shield Charging noises when you open the disk tray. It also makes active-camo sounds when you press the power button. You cannot deny that it sounds awesome.[/QUOTE] It should yell WORT WORT WORT when started up and play the Halo CE elite death scream when shut down.

Wow, never knew this many FPers liked Halo. Then again, my sources are typically threads involving "lol over 9000 headshots 1337" videos. So, changing the subject from Reach and X360 Slims, can somebody recommend a custom map for Halo 3? I'm looking for a single player map, just until my friends come online.

Well it does, you can obviously play custom games without anyone else in it, but multiplayer maps are kinda empty even when forged. You should try looking for a mongoose trick map or adventure shit or something. Those are rare but amazing.

Lethal Test seems the best.

How could I forget about this? [url]http://www.bungie.net/online/communityfiles.aspx?tags=&filefilter=4&sort=3[/url]

Jump Maps and Racing Maps are a ton of fun. I've created a few myself, and they're amazing. It makes you feel like you're in a Halo style Mirror's Edge. Halo's Edge?

Maybe you could link a few, then?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;23660006]Maybe you could link a few, then?[/QUOTE] My BNet account is fucked. For some reason I messed up my Xbox Live profile and now it doesn't have an email linked to it, which means I can't recover my gamertag and I can't link my gamertag to profiles. Otherwise I'd gladly link you to them from my fileshare.

reach looks so fucking awesome

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;23661481]Source?[/QUOTE] [url]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Revenant_%28vehicle%29[/url] I really hate how they introduced the spectre and shadow in Halo 2 and then we haven't seen them since.

Halo: Reach comes out on my birthday :v:

New forge looks awesome :buddy: I sort of feel like Reach doesn't have the popularity like Halo 3 did. Everyone bought Halo 3. It doesn't seem like the hype for Reach is as big even though the game looks great.

[QUOTE=nightlord;23661506][url]http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Revenant_%28vehicle%29[/url] I really hate how they introduced the spectre and shadow in Halo 2 and then we haven't seen them since.[/QUOTE] Well the Shadow is a heavy transport vehicle and most encounters in Halo are small skirmishes, so it makes sense that we only see them transorting vehicles in Halo 2. There's no need for them in 1 (the Truth and Reconciliation could drop troops and armour) and 3 (the Covenant already controls the area around New Mombassa, humans use Pelicans for transport and elites prefer to air drop). Also in ODST the city is under Covenant control, their armour is in position. And Reach is mostly orbital bombardment with seige weapons being dropped from space. And the Spectre is a slower, more exposed Warthog.

But it also has built in super fast wi-fi, 250 gb HDD, special design, new touch buttons, and custom sounds. It also comes with two controllers.[/QUOTE] The newer versions don't scratch the xbox. Even with the ridiculous price of a new hard drive and wi-fi, it would still be cheaper just to buy a new hard drive and buy a wi-fi adapter and a new controller than to buy a whole new system. So all those reasons are invalid. The only reason why I can see why anyone would want it would be for the novelty, and I can understand that, but it wouldn't be enough for me. I would just stick with my 120gb that works fine enough, and a long Ethernet cable, and then just buy a ps3 as well, then I have 2 consoles rather than 2 versions of the same one.

That's when you sell your old one. Also, I really wish I had enough money to buy the Legendary Edition and the Reach Xbox 360 together :frown:

All these special bonuses are really getting stupid. I can get 2 of them Recon: I can get that Elite officer: i can get that Flaming helmet: Too expensive Halo 2 flair: No idea if i played Halo 2 online Halo CE: i have it on Pc, but apparantly you had to have played it in the past few months Gamestop pre-order: No chance, i live in the UK. I do like some pre-order/special edition stuff, but this is just too much. What makes it worse is that there was no way to see it coming, i never played halo 2 online because halo 3 was out. And i haven't played CE recently because there was no reason. Other then that, it's going to be awesome.

What are the Halo 2 flair & Halo CE things?

[QUOTE=Cheryl Cole;23664727]What are the Halo 2 flair & Halo CE things?[/QUOTE] They are going to be some sort of effect for your armour for playing Halo CE/Halo 2 but no one knows what they are yet.

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;23655268]in reaches forge editor can you place non player characters into multiplayer[/QUOTE]Well they have firefight so you can add the SPAWN POINTS for such enemies but probably nothing more.

Damn! I just don't have Halo 2 [b]yet[/b].

i hooked my computer up to my HDTV and played some halo 2 [url]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w306/Tuskin38/HALO/halo21080.jpg[/url]
