Can't decide if I make this my new sig.

The noise itself is made by the fan in your system, so it's most probably in response to your processor being more demanding and so requiring the fan to remove more heat. This will happen regardless if you have the cooling tower things or whatnot as it's the machine itself running as it should, and the fact that instead of regular fans, microsoft installed jet engines - to cut down costs. What you can do is open up your machine and clean the fan blades with a damp cloth, and if you're looking for that extra rush, take the fan itself out, strip it, clean it and re-oil it, it'll help for it to run smoother. I'd also reccomend having it lieing down on a hard surface (not carpet) or two thin strips of wood at each end so there's room for air circulation underneath it, this should help the heat sinks to work properly and stop it falling over and scratching your disks. As much as I love my Xbox, I'm dissappointed when I write stuff like this that it could of been so much better if Microsoft used better hardware, and i'd be happy to pay more for it...

I never stated that the things I said were facts. I merely said that I find it pretty sad that people will do stuff like that to get useless digital items. You're putting words in my mouth. But hey, whatever floats your boat. :thumbdown: As much as I don't like boosting I have to disagree with you. Getting digital items is a core part of the game - bragging rights. If you didn't gain ranks for it and credits i'd have no problem with it whatsoever because it's just like powertraining in RS, a faster way of doing something else for the same result. It may not be morally correct but it's not actually against the rules as far as i'm aware.

Well hot damn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-uYGINL3Ag

Well SOMEONE has been boosting. Oh, and Aeon, i'll help you if you want? Need the weekly challenge anyway. GT: Keizer112

^ KDR is on your main service record page on bungie.net, it's next to your spartan armour model, it should say "Matchmaking MP Kills [number] ([KD ratio])" This is probably a terrible explanation so: Also, spot whats wrong with this picture, taken from this week's weekly update:

The 40 kills on Holdout challenge is easy to get in Score Attack. You can just vote 'none of the above' until you get Holdout. Challenges for today (Weekly included) 1) Weekly - Legendary Friends - 2500cR Complete any Campaign mission on Legendary in co-op mode. 2) Daily - i) Light Fare - 400cR Kill 40 enemies in any game mode in Reach. ii) A Friend in Need - 600cR Earn 10 assists in Firefight Matchmaking. iii) Return of the Mack - 1500cR Kill 50 Elites in Campaign today on Normal or harder iv) Headshot Honcho - 700cR Kill 9 enemies with headshots in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. Thats 5700cR with under an hours work.

Tried a bit of forge yesterday, still don't like it if i'm honest. I tried to make a simple cylinder for a "the floor is lava" game (killball in the centre, jetpacks and pistols only, 150% health, 200% gravity) and couldn't do it. Maybe it's just me because i've seen some fairly cool stuff.

Has anyone played the mod of Fire Red called Ash's quest? It follows the manga adventures of Ash in the first series. I got it from a friend the other day and I have to say it is brilliant. Made me nostalgia hard.

I disagree that you say it outright sucks, any multiplayer game is fun in one way or another and i've personally had a lot of fun with it, I can't say more so than H3 yet becuase it's only been out a week but i'm optimistic. I don't disagree with all your points, but I consider you to be unfairly harsh or wrong on most - no offence. #1 - Weapons There are TWO differences between the BR and DMR. 1) The first is 3 burst, and the other is single burst. 2) Recticle bloom That is it. It takes exactly the same amount of clicks on your controller for the DMR and if you want to time it perfectly, you should have no trouble adapting from the BR, I certainly haven't. The granade launcher takes skill, unlike the noob tube from MW2. I'm happy about that. Sucessfully using the EMP is difficult, but if you want to get good, practise the start of "Tip of the spear", once you can consistently and successfully disable both banshees that appear right at the start before they fly off, you should be able to get your eye in for multiplayer. The needle rifle is automatic, that's the only problem I have with it. (Although it is handy) #2 - Grenades Stickies do seem to take more skill now, I agree with you, but i'm still ok with it, because I don't want someone being able to stick me easily. They did nerf frags from the beta, because they went for miles and did too much damage. One effect of the nerf was that they changed the way explosions harmed you. There is now a radius of effect and the damage inflicted gradually decreases, as opose to set areas of damage in H2 and H3. #3 - Sniping I agree. Completely. I was never god's gift to sniping either, but then I had my first game of snipers in Reach yesterday, and well... http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/gamestats.aspx?gameid=76262578&player=Keizer112 (I'm Keizer112) #4 - Upgrades Jet packs have their uses like that, but unless you suck really badly that won't happen all too often. Thats what armor lock is meant to be used for. Do you have any beef with hologram? #5 - Shields/Life I'm happy with the new sheilds+health system. Just if you didn't already know, sheilds now "pop". Meaning having 100% shields, and 10% shields will protect you from the same melee punch. Basicly, damage doesn't travel through shields unless you're using a power weapon. So if your using the AR, watch for that magic pop and then hit them. And if you can get two punches on them without any shield recharge, they should be dead. #6 - Maps I agree, too few maps. If they let any community maps in from forge world, i'd be happier. But they'll want you to buy all their future DLC... Playing Hemmorage (aka Blood Gulch) with no vehicles is very boring, it's just too big. Territories, snipers, elite slayer and headhunter work well though. (The tank in Territories is WAY over powered though - http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/gamestats.aspx?gameid=77107840&player=Keizer112) [Hide]Yes, +95 KD. 85 kills in the tank alone.[/hide] Please accept this constructive criticism, and i'm sorry if i've sounded arrogant.

Got "A monument to all your sins" yesterday, i'm at ~700/1000 right now, but some of the achievements are glitching for me (Assasination and one other not registering as completed but the picture icon is there in the guide) And I can't get the one for killing 7 Moa, even if i kill like 30 of them. Other than that, one badass game. If anyone wants some help with campaign, just ask.

I hate it when people do that. I wish Bungie would have made it where you can only get it from Firefight matchmaking. Oh well. I mean, especially with bottomless clip and 200% damage, you can even rack up killionaire fairly easily. GT is Keizer112 by the way.

Not sure if I like the fact that you can cheat for some otherwise very difficult achievements.

I'm not going to lie, this was an idea I had when I was offering to buy and hollow out the statue if someone here won it from gamestop. Or just commision a costume. Either way.

Aanyone know anything about hidden stuff in the levels? I remember them saying skulls are all available from the start like in ODST, but also there'd be stuff to look for, bigger stuff.

Heroic Map pack was free in Halo 3 as far as I recall, Legendary and Mythic were the ones costing you. And i'm not so sure about these remakes, i'd quite like to see more original stuff.

Damn. That last one almost totalled me. And Kat is surprisingly hot compared to what I previously thought.

Keep me posted, I love firefight. (1000/1000 in ODST)

Bungie Weekly Update: 08/27/2010 http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_082710 Anyone got any info on the hovercraft thing?

Mate, I come back from holiday and you've just made me soil my last set of fully clean clothes. I hope you're happy.

Been away for 2 weeks, come back and I feel like i've missed a year's worth of spoilers. New webfilm promo up Not sure if I like it or not.

You're insane. 133Trillion (133000000000000) essence @ 7exp per nature rune = 1,197,000,000,000,000 experience. (What) With the three pouches thats 54 runes/run At one run in 2.5mins (no idea, just a guess) thats 40 runs an hour. or 4320 Runes/hour (double nats) Meaning that would take you 30787037038 Hours to craft them all. Or 1282793210 Days [hide=Or]3514502 YEARS[/hide] Which is 37317620653 Graahk pouches. Good luck with that.

It's a morphsuit. [hide=Exalmple][/hide] Made of stretchy lycra rather than photoshop. Started digging around my computer and found a more useful picture of me, although I cropped it because some of my friends wern't as dressed as snappily as I was. [hide=Haloween 2009:] The arm cutting across isn't mine btw. [/hide]

How was it failed? Added a whole new tier of clues and a bunch of awesome looking rewards, the god sets help out lots with GWD too. Not to mention it's a (short term) money sink to help with the recent surge in prices.
