Halo Hackers Go Wild, Unleash Flamethrower
Thanks to Halo.Bungie.Org for info on a new Halo Xbox hacking movie revealing some spectacular new tricks, including the ability to use the previously unavailable flamethrower and gravity rifle weapons in-game, plus much more outlandish stunts. As the site says, "...even if you're not excited by the hacking scene, it's a hoot to see how much damage you can do when you're standing in a tower of 3 dozen Master Chiefs and your assault rifle fires frag grenades." These hacks were accomplished by hex-editing a cache file on a modified Xbox, and coincidentally, Gearbox Software have just posted the a new screenshot of the PC-exclusive flamethrower weapon, which probably works a sight better than the unfinished Xbox one.
...like so many on /. proclaim why are there so many articles on it? It is a superior game to most FPS around. Have any of you played the coop mode on it? It's the best coop around, adds so much more gameplay, and demands strategy when you crank the skill level all the way up. The game also has quite a good sense of humor about itself.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
