At least with consoles the hardware is all pretty much the same. There are different generations of the same console but little changes on the gaming performance aspects. They may offer higher resolution connections and more storage space but fundamentally the game plays pretty much the same from console to console. I like that aspect as from a hardware perspective as no one is disadvantaged.

It's down too connection for me. The difference in scoring between a good one and a bad one is profound. If I am host it gets ridiculously easy to the extent people will simply quit unless they are an extremely proficient player. In fact I would say the disadvantages of being up here in Canada and suffering from less than ideal connections most of the time has made many of us better players on a whole.

Other than glitching which is readily picked up the only other cheats guys use are modded controllers which also is pretty easy to spot a player of having. Some glitches are just fun though like weapons slide on GOW and hard to pass up on doing for the fun factor.

I never took tinyrodent as a gamer - wow!

The best online gaming can be found with Catan for the 360. Don't need to worry about lag and modded controllers there!

I can just imagine him, mowing us down at an FPS, with those damn gloves of his!

If you can believe it, I actually use the keyboard and mouse with bare hands. As for the mowing... join me in a game and we'll see.

Quoted from tinyrodent

Yep all you need is the game and the patch (2.60b). Custom maps etc. will auto-download from the game server.

Got it, but how the hell do I install that patch?

In the zip file go to the win32 folder and extract ET.EXE - use it to replace the one in your installation folder.

I found a .exe patch that did it for me

We will have to play soon!

Halo 3: ODST = Guys, if you play the campaign, make sure you watch after the credits. There is an epilogue video, just as in Halo 3.

Have you seen the FULL epilogue in Halo 3?


you get a extra 5 or 10 seconds for beating it on the hardest difficulty

Nah, I never played it on legendary, too many other games to play!  If that's the case, maybe it's the same here. Don't have time to try it though, I need a game to trade in for Forza 3 and ODST has won that election.  It's a good game, but not a keeper for me as I'm not big on the "versus" type online games and that is surely its forté.
