Reminder: Bungie to reveal Halo 3 Assembly map

Aug 29th 2008 10:08AM on Joystiq Xbox

Yeah I find it funny that it's "in no way affiliated with Midship" yet in last weeks Bungie Update they specifically stated (in addition to the above:) It's medium size, about the same size as Midship. It's symmetrical, it's purple, it's covenant themed.....

We'll see, I just hope that there's a true moshpit in this one too (their levels with a defined pit are more fun hill games in my opinion.)

X3F TV: Denis Dyack, "Too Human" interview

Aug 27th 2008 3:13PM on Joystiq Xbox

Why does he spell his name Denis instead of Dennis? Did his parents actually do that to him? There's only one other word I know similar: ?enis and for whatever reason I always seem to say his name as "Dee-niss" in my head...

CoD4 takes back Xbox Live top spot

Nah, it's because the dubXP this weekend was grifball. Next week: Team Snipers. Can't wait!

Dyack claims Epic 'defrauded' them and the industry

Aug 19th 2008 1:59PM on Joystiq Xbox

It's 99 nights meets Mass Effect meets...um...Dynasty Warriors. With coop play, crazy upgrades and badass graphics (as in AMAZING graphics, especially in some of the bosses.)

Also, my favorite games are Halo, Blitz and Wik: Fable of Souls, none of which are ANYTHING like this game. That says a lot for it.

Grifball is back for the Halo 3 Double EXP Weekend

Aug 14th 2008 5:38PM on Joystiq Xbox

GRR I hate grifball. I liked it for about 2 minutes until I started getting hit with d-bag 9 year olds that betray for fun. Actually, no, I didn't even really like it to begin with. I prefer to kill people :-P Same goes for Rocket Tag (why is this a permanent playlist?!?!?!)

At least Infection is next week.

Way too expensive Dark Knight 360s flood eBay

Aug 12th 2008 5:24PM on Joystiq Xbox

May I ask why? You're still buying what amounts to an advertisement. Why is it worth more money, outside of maybe re-sale or sentimental value?

Halo 3: Earn double EXP and some achievements

Aug 7th 2008 5:56PM on Joystiq Xbox

Same here, I need the overkill one and a few of the meta-game cheevo's. That's it! Problem is my disk is scratched and it won't let me play campaign! GRR!

Seriously, nice shiny ring right around the middle of the disk. Though, it's my cat's fault for knocking my 360 over from being vertical to horizontal...dumb cat preventing me from getting my achievements...

Halo 3 title update to switch up ranking system

Aug 4th 2008 9:55AM on Joystiq Xbox

It's now an occasional double XP playlist, same with living dead.

There are sniper variants in Lone Wolves, Rumble Pit, Double Team, Team Slayer... (sniper shotty, team snipers)

You can always start up a custom game too...

Team up for a Halo 3 meleeing weekend

Aug 1st 2008 5:44PM on Joystiq Xbox

Do you know if you get ExP for being on the 2nd place team?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
