Belated Happy Birthday To Aquaduct
Aquaduct, the Xbox tunneling app for Mac OS X that lets people play Xbox Halo on the Internet using their Macs, turned one year old awhile ago (August 30, to be exact), but it seems that we all-- including the program's creator, PfhorSlayer, missed it. Word has it he's hard at work on something new for the program's next version, but we've all been warned not to bug him about it; however, there's always the Aquaduct forum.
Pelican Wheels!!!!!!!
HEY ! i was just wondering before the HALO 2 E3 DEMO.....HAS THE PELICAN GOT WHEELS because of that lump underneath the pelican.
i stood under the pelican just as it was about to land, then i went into the pelican like a glitch and i saw the gun inside the lump but another time i done it the lump looked like a wheel..... CAN SOMONE PLZ TELL ME WHAT IT IS !!!
plzzz reply to this.
JUMP DOWN AND SURRVICE ON MAW LEVEL !!!!
When you first start off on the maw level, turn around
then jump out aim for the smooth big like a hill and you should slide down. It only takes a bit of health
off if not any and it may take a few trys but i can gaurentiee it WORKS !!
OH and another cool thing to try is wait at the start of the level for the sentinels to come and blobk them from getting through, they dont shoot you because they are still in travel mode I KNOW I KNOW this is point less but its just something to try.
NEW HALO CHEAT !!!!!!!!
hey this cheat allows you to be invinceable.
when you collect an over-shield it takes about 4 seconds for it to go up, at that very moment in time you are invinceable YES !!!!!!
you can try grinage jumping with it and get really high and try it with a warthog, just park it next to a over shield do the grinage jump to the warthog and then grab the over shield and jump in the warthog you have to time it just right.
i will be makeing a movie on it soon so stick around for it !!!!!!!!!!
OHHHH yer one more thing.
Xbox 2 GPU: No Comments All Around
Xbox2 News, a site dedicated to the as-yet-unannounced successor to Microsoft's first foray into console gaming, the Xbox, recently interviewed ATI's Public Relations Manager for Consumer Products regarding the announcement earlier this summer that ATI wouild produce "future Xbox technologies" for Microsoft, fueling speculation that Nvidia, which made the GPU for the first iteration of the Xbox, was being handed its hat.
ATI's rep basically declined to comment on rumors, and simply repeated the announcement that ATI would provide "future Xbox technologies" and provided no further information.
TeamXbox followed up early in September, noting that reps from all three companies were being tight-lipped, but cited a "highly placed source" who said that the Xbox 2's GPU would be an ATI R500 derivative, and that Microsoft chose them because of superior pixel shader performance.
Halo Still On The Charts
Not really big news, but Halo is still in the top ten in the UK. Sadly, it's no. 8, and somehow StarWars, Colin McRae Rally, Mace Griffin, The Italian Job, and The Great Escape made it on the list. Crazy Brits.
Xbox Live Now Price Changes
Microsoft has changed the pricing structure for Xbox Live Now; prices now range from $5.99 per month for subscriptions, $49.99 per year for subscriptions, $29.99 for the Voice Communicator, $69.99 for the Starter Kit, which includes the voice communicator and MechAssault. Thanks GamesDomain.
Halo hater
I have a freind(not really) who likes school better than halo, and thinks that eternal darkness can be compared to halo, he likes max payne more than halo, hates the xbox, likes hitman 2 better than halo, didn't care to much about the in-game footage of halo 2 that I showed him, thinks that a game called Killer 7 wich wont be out for another year is better than halo and halo 2 and any game alive, he's a gamecube junkie that thinks max payne sold 1 million copies in 4 days, he hates all first person shooters, except timesplitter 2, and theres more gayness about him that i can't think of at t
We've Won ANOTHER Xbox?
As if to confirm our original suspicions, we got another copy of the "you've won an Xbox" mail from another domain, this time prizebounty.com. IANAL, but this one spells S-C-A-M to me.
