I think I need to contact Corrine and see what she has to officially say about the engine. Frank may be in a top position for 343i, but Corrine is the principal engine architect for Microsoft, which in turn dictates to 343i what direction their tech uses takes. I'll see if I can get an official response from her and keep you guys updated.

The answer is.... "Absolute Dog Ate Johnny". Or the simple math.... "L" "13"

That reminds me...is the answer... Halo: Combat Evolved North American release date November 15th?

Ughhhh. I'll help you guys out a little...the bread crumbs lead you to the actual question of A+D+8=? Basically it means A Date. but what the date is, is up to you to find out based on the Johnny thread more than likely...since that is where that question leads you to.

Not a problem. Glad I could help out.

Granted CEA for PC would be great for non modders, but with Kornman's Open Sauce post processing for Halo PC it would be kinda pointless. With OS we have a wider range of ccore engine tweaks that we can make plus the ability to post process the older graphics shader system into somethkng that almost rivals Halo Reach shader systems.

yeah u can join. You dont need anything. I think it was someone here who said that Teamspeak is kinda like Ventrillo....only cooler.

Sorry for the late notice on this guys but, until Monday I have taken down my home server for cleaning. It won't be back up till monday when all my parts are dry and factory fresh. Again, sorry for the late notice. For those wondering, this means no PC servers or teamspeak till then. Cheers!

Oh that? That one was simply just forcing the player through the collision via armor lock. Just a simple glitch similar to the ones we used to push ourselves outside of maps in Halo 2. Nothing hack about it.

Well, I'm fairly new to the UDK itself, but the resources on the engine and content they provide out of box so to speak, should make it fairly straight forward to pull off physics and handling wise. The hardest part is gonna be importing all the models for characters, rigging them, and giving them animations. I am proficient enough for basic animations, but what I am hoping for is a way to take raw animation node data, and be able to simply take existing UDK animations and update them with the new animation values. Lot's of stuff to do, but hey...I like a challenge! And don't worry, of coarse it would be free......

Classic multiplayer Jtag mods. Just sad that these two guys in the video have to resort to using it to actually play either to simulate any kind os skill, or just to annoy people. I'll be keeping an eye out for these two guys.

"No other Halo game had" huh? I'm gonna spare you the long listed engine specific and game mechanic flaws each and every Halo game had, and the ones they had in common. Obviously your view is specifically geared towards the MLG side of the gameplay. In that case, I suggest you re-phrase your post ASAP!

I know it's a date, but I can't follow it to figure out what the date is for......arrgghhhhh. And btw, it's not just his posts that help you to figure out the answer. It was his post that led you down the path....

Just to touch base on this before someone else does, Halo reach actually does a good job of matching up players. If you understand the "pairing" settings and what calculations it uses, you will find that 9 times out of 10, the people you are matched up against in MM have about the same commendation % for MM as well as K/D. Next time you go into a match, take a look at their MM stats and you will find they are close enough to your own to provide a good match. Now of coarse some people might not like the map or gametype they get so you can't always guarantee that the players will be the same exact mindset for the match, which in reality, you can never guarantee. I do see from the competitive side, how things are very frustrating for you guys, and I think you guys do do a real good job of putting up with it and persevering. Hopefully in Halo 4, we can get the best of both worlds where casual guys like me can go online for fun, and you guys can go online and destroy, and we both never have to meet up and get pissed off.

Nope, your screwed. Unfortunatly 343i did not include any other means besides using the voice recognition for the "analyze" feature. Also, make sure you have your headset unplugged. For some reason, if you are using a headset, you cannot use analyze mode with it plugged in. Also, analyze mode does not work in split-screen co-op.

Manipulation occurs by the offender being host. Because other Xbox's connect to the host, the host is tasked with syncing and distributing a majority if not all, game data in real time to all clients. All it takes is a network side loading app, to "capture" or "hold" packets of data from the clients, which in turn ends up looking like REAL bad lag on your end. Have you ever seen a guy dash at you like 3 times the lunge distance of a standard melee? Or walk over the bomb in grifball and hit the button to pick it up, then you get about 3 feet away from the bomb, then it magically end up being picked up by you? These are a couple examples of how holding packet data from clients causes lag and the results. Another good example would be what happened to me the other night. I was in a CTF Rockets match, and I ran up behind a guy and held melee for assassination. Instead of an assassination, a melee was thrown. To top it off he kept moving and I whacked him a good more 3 times and his shields never dropped or triggered an animation. Then magically I appeard 10 feet from him and directly into the line of fire from a jetpacking friend with a rocket. I was not too happy about this. Top it off, i then started to pay attention to whom was the first player in the scorebox. The first player and the rest of that members team will appear on top to show who is host. Needless to say, that person was the only one during the whole match who's connection status ws not a single red bar.

Year and month mass effect 3 comes out. Answer to question...=123

For those who want to read more about the bill specifically, there are numerous links at the bottom of the webiste link I posted up in the beginning. There are also numerous links from various organizations about the bill from different perspectives. The most interesting of them all, is the one that talks about how seven different top law professors around the US, all agreeed that the bill is a hinderance to our first amendment right, and will serve as no purpose to stop piracy, but only extend the arm of the government to a place it has no right being in. I am going to illistrate now, a very explicit example of how this bill is going to effect everyone. Time to role play a little.... Absolute Dog has aquired, out of his love for all things Halo, roughly 50 shares of MacFarlane Toy Company. The said toy company produces high quality action figures of characters and vehicles from the halo Universe. Microsoft explicitly owns the rights to halo, but as a toycompany good provider, MacFarlane Toys and share holders hold what is called "Intelectual property", meaning that financially, they have a stake in the toys and any other copyrighted or patened toy they produce wether it be by third, second or first party concent. One day Twam purchases some MacFarlane Halo toys and decides he wants to produce a series of short stop motion halo films to share with the community. This series of short films is completely free and only spread and posted to sites like Facebook and Youtube for the pure enjoyment of others. Twam produces these things for several months. One day Absolute Dog is in a real bad mood. people around the community have been ******** him off left and right. he decides to check out what is new on his Facebook, and sees a link to Youtube for the newest film short by Twam. He watches the new short on Youtube and decides that because Twam is using MacFarlane property to produce film shorts, he may be on the side making a profit from this. Absolute calls or e-mails the US Attorney's office and within minutes, without a court order or official notice from any judiciary sub-branch, both Facebook (They linked to the Youtube), and Youtube (contains the actual video) have their sites blocked and shutdown. Furthermore they also have any payment office or financial income provider frozen and can no longer collect payments for their services. Because of Dog's actions and the violation of representation by a court for breaking the laws, Youtube and Facebook have their income hindered which results in the loss of hundreds of jobs they cannot afford to support. Or even worse, both companies go bankrupt and are forced to increase the unemployment rate by the thousands if not hundred of thousands. Upon this closeure of 2 of the biggest US based websites, the person, Twam, is also suquestered with a fine without a court order or court descision and or court appearance. All he can do is pay the fines and any legal fees on the governments end, or go to jail possibly. Again a sentence without any court appearance or legal representation. Now yes this is an extreme case, but it also showcases how this new bill can be abused by anyone who owns a likeness or stake in any company. It also showcases how this bill circumvents basic Constitutional Rights that we are absolutely guaranteed under any circumstance. Imagine if this bill was passed down to states for everyday laws. You could receive fines and jail time and never have to be officially notified you broke the law, or have any type of legal counteraction to defend yourself. Bills like this are dangerous, and have no place in our society. I am not for piracy, I am strongly against it. But creating bills like this is not the answer. What is also troubling, is that their was no media or official documented warning about this bill circulated to the public. Correct me if I am wrong, but usually any bill or amendment that is in congress must be devulged to the public, so the public can react accordingly. Furthermore if our democratic process works so greatly, how come bills and laws that over 50% of the american public are against, get pushed through anyway? I thought our elected officials were in washington to fully represent the people they are elected by. Sounds a little one sided to me, and sounds like the people we elect don't really care about representing the views and feelings of the public. Makes me real glad I am not a born American.

The scariest part of this bill, is that no court hearing, no court order or any other governmental law office is needein any way for people who violate or are subject to the bill.....be cut off finalcially and and prosecuted. according to it specifically, anyone who is used to finance or support an offender is legally obligated to choke the violator dry without the need of court orders or notice.

If anyone is interested, I will be attempting to use the Unreal engine to try and get a close as possible handling system, that they used in ODST, in my attempt to make another ODST game. I am already in the process of picking out notable ODST's throughout the novels to center the game around. Possibly, it will include various missions across the team of ODST's i choose. One such level would be Delta Halo. You would play thru a portion of it thru the eyes of ODST, and be centered around the other sections of that ring. Another section might be Harvest during our first contact. If anyone is interested in helping me start this up.....post something up here, or shoot me a pm.

Hello fellow 343i members. Today I am posting this, so that we can help join in the fight against Internet Censoring via the SOPA and Block IP bill. For those of you who do not know, COngress is trying to pass a bill that will give the government, companies and anyone who holds a copyright or royalty, the power to censor, shutdown and bankrupt websites. Even websites such as 343i can and will be effected by this. The bill charges the website owner with the task of filtering out any links, posts or content that could be harmful to a business, likeness, enitity or property. To put it into perspective......members making a post about how CoD sucks after this bill, could have the site shutdown because posts such as that could be viewed as harmful to the CoD franchise. What is even scarier, is that NO COURT ORDER is required for penalties, fines or lawsuits to be carried out. CLick the link below to help us help you keep the internet free and uncensored! Protect our first amendment!!! http://americancensorship.org/
