New maps for Halo 2 is pretty cool, and they are only available on the 360 not the old xbox.

Halo Article

With the Xbox 360 already a year old, and Halo 3 promising to be another massive hit for Microsoft and games developer Bungie, some Halo fans are disappointed to discover there’s still quite a wait yet before they can get their hands on the final, full game.

While the consolation prize is a multiplayer demo due early next year, with a 60 second TV commercial appearing once on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” (and predicted to be available for download via the Xbox Marketplace not too long thereafter), what gamers really want is the real deal, especially when they see the commercial which promises “a unique and compelling look at Master Chief and the world of Halo 3.”

But a beta of a multiplayer version is better than nothing, and at least when you are playing the demo, you are playing what is Halo 3, with the final product aiming to eliminate as many bugs from the game as possible before it gets burnt to shiny Xbox 360 discs.

With Halo 2 still an enormously popular game, they’ll also get the surprise of some premium new maps to play in, although this is a far cry from a whole new game. At least it’s something for impatient Halo players to keep them occupied in the meantime – but only if you’re playing it on an Xbox 360, as original Xbox classic owners miss out on this update.

Microsoft’s PR documents say that in Halo 3, \"Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax\".

No doubt Microsoft would like there to be a pounding climax to the next-gen race, with Xbox 360 the clear winner, but especially with the PS3 and Wii nearly here (and in the case of the PS3, already available in limited quantities) there’s no clear winner at all as yet.

According to Microsoft, Halo 1 and Halo 2 have sold over 14.7 million copies worldwide, resulting in nearly $700 million in sales.

Which goes to prove that even if you’re selling your games console at a loss, as long as you can make it up in sales of game software, you might, as a console manufacturer, start enjoying some real profits instead of the massive losses being incurred now in the race to be the undisputed leader in next-generation of personal entertainment technology for the home.

Posted by Morik on 11.14.06 at 12.50.est

yes i heard something about that(19 days before its released)...you think they would have learned from the last game!!!! makes you wonder if its planned this way.... 8 guys in gears would be good...The assination game where you have to protect your president would be a blast....COD3 with 24 players would be crazy :)...wouldnt mind playiong a little Cod2 as well hehehe followed by some Halo2 :)
Posted by Slash on 11.14.06 at 12.44.est

anyone hear is they are going to fix the lobby for COD3?
Posted by Morik on 11.14.06 at 12.38.est

Posted by Slash on 11.14.06 at 12.17.est

Gears seems good, a little different to get used to. the graphics are good, almost too good... i think i had to wipe some off my arm after using the chainsaw
Posted by Thundar on 11.14.06 at 12.29.est

scoobs you better wait for me in the Co-op game...no jumping ahead :)
Posted by Slash on 11.13.06 at 06.54.est

Posted by Slash on 11.13.06 at 06.11.est

i just got both (and the outfit 4 free). i am g2g.
Posted by Thundar on 11.13.06 at 05.34.est

now, Scoobs and the Dogs of War ... maybe 8~)
Posted by Thundar on 11.13.06 at 03.13.est

i definentaly want to figure out the Whos online. lol to the edit posts ... cause i can do it (and have) by ftping the txt file up and down. for users i think i could set it up to allow edit of the last post for the user, that should be do-able.

as to your clan name, good luvk on getting that voted in. hahaha
Posted by Thundar on 11.13.06 at 02.45.est

Love the \"Who\'s online\" ability if you can work that in..... Also any chance of an edit post ability for users?
Posted by Scoobs on 11.13.06 at 02.23.est

LOL
Posted by Scoobs on 11.13.06 at 02.21.est

Clan name suggestion ----> Scoobs and his Dogs
Posted by Scoobs on 11.13.06 at 02.20.est

Yup..got both of them.... Gears of War has some really good graphics, not sure if I like the multiplayer setup or not...it is rounds instead of respawning, but your teamates can revive you which is cool and there is a lobby...I like that....Too bad COD3 doesn\'t have a lobby. Gears is Definately worth getting.
Posted by Scoobs on 11.13.06 at 02.17.est

scoobs did u buy both?

******************************************************
Topic ideas
- Which is better? COD3 vs. Gears. COD3 vs. COD2. Is Halo better than them all?
- Clan name or better name than 360Gang for this site.

Things to come (providing the users thing doesnt break).
- Show who else is logged in.
- User set refresh ON-OFF
- New layout
- MySQL back end. I have just been using my own delimited txt files so far but a db is better for the users and such.
