  1. Why Halo7, if you don't mind me asking? And nobody said silly. Someone did say random, but no sillies.
  2. eng stands for English, as in what language the game is being shipped in. As it was said in a previous post, the two Halo 4's shown were Halo 4 Limited Edition English and Halo 4 English. The other two (FR) stands for French, meaning that they are being shipped in French as well. So what we have gathered from this post so far is that 1. There is an English Halo 4 Limited Edition 2. There is an English Halo 4 3. There is a French Halo 4 Limited Edition 4. There is a French Halo 4 5. There may be two different cases for the games (box art)
  3. That didn't happen either. There were some things that they didn't want to say, but it wasn't about Spartan strength and endurance. It was more about their mental health (Kurt made the new SIII class have their minds slightly damaged in the hopes of increasing their survival rate. The end result was that they had to take medication to remain normal, as it were). They couldn't make them stronger than the SII's anyway because the enhancements would kill nearly all of them. They had to "water down" (NOT the correct term, but it gets the point across) the enhancements to make it to where they could be accepted by those that weren't "genetically superior". It would be a waste of valuable resources to give them more enhancements than the SII's as well, as the SIII's were literally meant for suicide missions. Disposable infantry does not get the big guns. Also note that SPI armor is a fair amount cheaper and easier to mass produce than MJOLNIR Assault Armor. There was a joke told by one of the Spartan II's (if I recall) just after but that's all it was. A joke.
  4. Insightful posts, length of time in the forum, what you do for the community, etc.
  5. How to find Slime in Minecraft X-Box 360 What you will need: 1. Mining materials. 2. Your world seed. 3. A map. The first thing you will need is your world seed. Go to "Play Game", select the world you want to spawn slime in, and look for the seed just underneath the world name. Then, go here: http://extension.ws/minecraft/slimes.html Enter your world seed. Now, you will see a grid with a bunch of green on it. These green squares are where slime spawns. Slime spawns at bedrock and 40 levels above bedrock, so you are going to have to dig. The way you do this is up to you. The coordinates listed on the website (put your mouse over the square to see the coords) are the corners of a square. The coordinates are also listed on your map, in the X and Z. X is east and west, Z is north and south. Y altitude. Usually, bedrock is located between Y1 and Y5. It is suggested that you make your cave at least 4 squares high. The higher the better, in this particular case. Another suggestion is that you check out the location of your coordinates first. Check your map when you get there. If you are at Y90, you should check out another location, because that will mean you have farther to dig down. Another suggestion is that you play on Peaceful while you do this, as mobs can make life suck during this phase. After you have your cave dug out, save and exit and put it on easy. You will get a load of mobs spawning if you don't put torches in the cave, but occasionally you will get some slime spawning.

  6. I am going to point out some of the issues that were with the Halo 3 1-50 ranking system really quick. This is mainly for your own information, rather than trying to debunk your opinion. 1. Level 1's could be paired with up to lv 18's. Theoretically, they could be paired with lv 50's if there weren't enough people online. 2. It is physically possible to get to lv50 in less than two hours with a little help from a friend (getting to that). 3. It is possible to purposefully drop your rank by quitting matches and throwing games, so that you can be a lv 50 in skill paired against a lv 20. This is called "Deranking". 4. It is notoriously easy to create booster accounts (accounts that gain other accounts skill levels really quickly). 5. It was estimated by the bnet community during the time of Halo 3 that over 1/3 of the population of lv 30 and above were not really at that level, but had boosted to get there. Overall, the Halo 3 ranking system was one of the most broken of all time. It was easy to manipulate, difficult to catch players doing it, and did not accomplish it's goal of putting similarly skilled players against each other. Now let's take a look at the Halo Reach ranking system and it's problems. 1. You do not have to play multiplayer to rank up. You can rank up from playing campaign, and single player firefight (score attack). This allows you to rank up without experiencing even one second of multiplayer. 2. Credits are easy to farm, which makes ranking up faster easier. 3. The credit cap limits the amount of gameplay you can play per day while still ranking up. 4. The truskill system that Halo Reach claims to employ is quite obviously broken. (I have been in a game where all three of my teammates were recruits [not partied up either] against 2 Inheritors, a Nova, and a Forerunner [also not partied up]. At the time I was a Mythic.) 5. You do not have to win games, or even do well to rank up in Halo Reach. As you can see, though Reach's ranking system has it's faults, they are not game-breaking faults. Any game-breakers are in actual game play. While I don't like Reach's ranking system (I prefer H2's myself), it is less broken than H3's (not as easy to manipulate). This means that they improved upon their ranking system (albeit barely) from H3 to HR, which means that they (hopefully) will improve upon it yet again. **note: The reason custom challenges isn't included in the above list is because there is only one way to manipulate the challenges, and even then it requires some work. The credit cap in place makes this a moot point, as well.
  7. It's funny because I don't remember that quote (AT ALL) and seem to remember a SIII getting his butt handed to him by Kelly in Ghost's of Onyx. And the oldest of the SIII's is Tom and Lucy. Tom was born in 2533, which in 2552 would make him 19 years old. Lucy was also born in 2533. Tom and Lucy were part of the SIII Beta Company, and were the only survivors of it. Alpha company (the previous SIII company) had no survivors after Operation Prometheus and the Fall of Reach, (except MAYBE Jun, but that's doubtful), which makes them the oldest SIII's.
  8. BF3 gets my vote because it is ridiculously fun. It has vehicles, super large maps, so many weapons it'll make your mind boggle, and decent game physics. That plus the fact that they have bullet drop (which makes sniping more realistic), no hit-scan weapons (so if you are far from your target you actually have to lead them a bit), and vehicles that are actually small arms resistant (like they are in real life, seriously, try taking out an Abrams with a magnum. Even with armor piercing rounds, you are going to have a bad time) makes the game a whole lot more skillful than MW3 in my book. From a distance you actually have to think about where you are shooting and take into account bullet drop, just as you have to do in real life. That and the fact that the fall damage is realistic (if you jump out of the second floor of a building, it's going to hurt) makes the game a whole lot more fun to me at least. And apparently to at least 37 other people.
  9. It depends on how they do it. You probably will have to start a new world to get the NPC villages and everything else included in the new update. I would play the old world for a bit to see if you actually have to though. If you see differences, then just start a new world. If not, then no worries.
  10. Time travel isn't possible in the Third Dimension, unfortunately. The hypothesis that if you go fast enough you can make the universe around you slow down is a bit... eccentric to say the least. There is very little evidence to back up this hypothesis, and the only evidence that comes close to backing it up are certain particles which seem to move between dimensions. Then again, they can't even prove that these particles actually do move between dimensions. The only way that one would be able to travel time effectively (i.e. go into the past or future) would be to go from the 3rd dimension to a "higher" dimension. The 10th dimension would be the most effective way, and the fourth would be the least. The 10th dimension includes all of everything, from different universes to different galaxies, while the 4th dimension is a more personal timeline. The problem with this, however, is that it is theoretically impossible to travel from the 3rd dimension to a different dimension. It actually theoretically impossible to travel from one dimension to the next (i.e. from the 10th to the 9th). What we see on a piece of paper is how the creatures in the 10th dimension would view us. Actually, probably far less than a drawing on a piece of paper, considering that we live in the 3rd and a drawing is 2 dimensional, so we are technically only 1 dimension away.
  11. Ruining your hopes and dreams. My guess is Ryu.
  12. It would be cooler if the co-op players were Fred, Linda, Kelly, and maybe Tom (S-III who was with those three). But then, the levels where MC has to get from the FUD to the Infinity. lol Also,
  13. Level 9. The last levels are ALWAYS the hardest, and with Halo it's usually the second to last that's the pain lol
  14. It is Arthur, King of the Britons. To seek the Holy Grail. What do you mean? And African or European Swallow? First question: Etruscan? lol And it was either Servius Tullius or Lucius Tarquinius Superbus. Lucius was the last "king" of Rome. Question two: Obviously not. The King and his family were deposed and expelled from Rome. Question three: It was a revolution incited by Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus, Publius Valerius Poplicola, and Spurius Lucretius Tricipitinus. The "populace" was the citizens of Rome. Epilogue: Bring it.
  15. It wasn't just onesies or twosies spamming in OB. There were people literally getting to dedicated in under a week just from OB. That's why it was removed from the post count. The posts in OB don't really contribute anything to the forum except for fun, and fun shouldn't be ranked. And I'm saying this as someone who spammed along with Azaxx, not as someone who never posts in OB. I would really rather the temptation not even be there, so that my posts assist in contributing to the site rather than contribute to a thread that should have died ages ago, but is still alive and well because people used it to boost their member rank up.
  16. It keeps track of k/d, your movements, and whether or not you are in a party and how large that party is. If it raises a red flag in two or more of these areas, then you will most likely get credit banned, rank reset, or banned from playing Matchmaking all together.
  17. Hello and welcome to the 343i Community Forum We hope you enjoy your time here in the friendliest corner of the Haloverse If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the shoutbox or PM a moderator/senior member.
  18. There is a system in place that catches people doing this and bans them. I am willing to bet that the ones you met in Griffball can either no longer earn credits, or can no longer connect to matchmaking. Probably the same in Swat as well. While this stops people from boosting, it doesn't PREVENT them from boosting. However, if people reported players that boosted, then there would be far fewer boosters around.
  19. He told me before he died. It was armor plating. Q.Q
  20. 1. The rocks in the Acasta region are considered the oldest on the planet at this moment. 2. The Chicxulub Meteor is the largest meteor thought to have impacted on the planet. It led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, according to popular theorems. 3. Between 5 and 7 thousand. 4. Up to 4000 years. 5. Technically, the Chicxulub Meteor, which killed almost everything on Earth (including plants) was the world's largest loss of life due to a natural disaster. Quite a few people, considering that it's the motto of 4th battalion, 9th infantry regiment (US Army) lol but it was originally quoted by the Gaul leader Brennus.
  21. Congratulations on finally surpassing Jester! He'll probably catch up by tomorrow though. lmao
  22. Actually, he's not. A prior version of him is, however he had a "back-up".
  23. It's possible. We don't have all of the information as of yet.
  24. Actually, the only Spartan II on Noble team was Jorge lol the rest were Spartan III's. The Spartan III's Enhancements weren't "finalized", they made some trade-offs for safety so that they could mass produce the Spartans III's. The Spartan IV's Enhancements are finalized, and thought to be completely safe. While the efficacy of these treatments is unknown as of yet, it is theorized that they will have the same level of enhancements (and perhaps more) of Spartan III's. The Spartan II's wore MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor of varying marks (from Mk III to Mk VI I believe, but it could be from Mk II to Mk VI), the Spartan III's wore SPI armor, as well as MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor mixed with other types of Assault Armor.
