Well, After reading about it. This would give mod chip makers the ammunition they need to make an undetectable mod chip. Cheaters would be able to modify in game files and gain unfair advantages on Live with the downloaded maps.
I dont care about people modding Xbox, just the cheates on live who will use this information to ruin a game I enjoy playing. It happened to AA early in its career, a game I enjoyed playing, and, after the cheating became widespread, I hated. Hope that clears things up.
Sorry, I didnt clarify in my post. In the Halo 2 community, a slang word for Cheater, is Modder. Someone who is modifying their console in a way to give them an advantage in the game. I dont mind modifying your Xbox to make it a cheap PC, put in a big HD to store your legally purchased games, or, a media center. I just dont like people who use it for chating a service you pay for. The next iteration of Halo will have built-in modding, I assume. Already Pariah, and a few others have map building software on this generation.
I just like to lose fairly, the way the game was designed to play without having to resort to modding my Xbox to get that edge. Its a moral question that has been debated before, and, will probably be debated into oblivion. I dont want to get into it now.
Just when Bungie managed to kick the majority of the cheaters off Halo 2, this comes around and makes it almost impossible to catch them using a modded Xbox.
I give it about a month before the modders ruin it for everyone again.
Not only are you NOT discussing what the article is about, all your post is is a childish attack on Halo 2. Why doesnt a good seller like that deserve a sequel? Pushing an episode? Its called marketing, stupid. I dont pretend to know the inner workings of MS, but, you seem to think you do.
Ever hear of a cliffhanger? You know, continuing story? something to make you WANT to play the game again. I can imagine your reaction to a lot of movies. Do you ask for your money back often if the movie leaves openings for a sequel?
Speaking of disappointments, Gran Turismo 4. Delayed...delayed...wont ship with online, will have to pay for it later...Now we arent making the online part. IMO, it was just GT3 with a few more cars and slightly prettier graphics. Thats the reason Sony WONT be getting my console dollars ever again. FUCK SONY and FUCK thier PS3
Why the HELL do people think that the Japanese Shit dont stink?
Most good video games were made here first. Remember Atari? Remember Commodore? Some of the most memorable moments in gaming took place on those two systems, yet your collective heads are so far up the Japanese ass that you cant smell the shit they produce. I can think of one innovative title off the top of my head that came from the far eastern shores last year. Katamari...Thats it. The rest was Ratchet and Clank, Sly cooper, and Mario rebranded crap.
Ooh, look, another Resident Evil title...wonder if I kill zombies in THIS ONE TOO! It was eye candy, face it. Paper Mario 2? BWAHAHAHAAH. My kids are still playing a near launch title, Animal crossing. Mario party 6! its innovative! Wait, this one has a Microphone! where are you going?
A camera! lets put a camera so you can see how goofy you look. We sold a total of 10 of those things since they have been out. Another reincarnation of GTA, in which you do the same damn things you did in the other 2, except, in a city so large, you get lost if you leave your neighborhood!
Sure, Big N "Supposedly" brought back the console, but, if for some reaon it didnt sell, and, Atari had competent management, we would all be playing the Atari X system. Im not predicting the fall of Nintendo, Just sick of the MS bias around here. They arent going to take over your living room if you dont want them to.
On a closing note, I like Nintendo. I wish they made more games for me, and had a better controller. Until then, I will let my kids enjoy my Nintendo, and, I will be playing the X-Box.
Not really, in my neck of the woods. PS2's were being traded in for Xboxes left and right. We had about 30 PS2's traded in one week alone for Xbox.
When we ran out, people began trade it in for cash so they could go buy an Xbox where there was some in stock.
Same people who subscribe to 50-60 dolar a month digital cable service and get banner ads on the guide system.
I hate those damn things, in fact, my cable company used to have them right in the show info banner itself! Unfortunately, looks like they are here to stay. I wish it wasnt so.
You want people to boycott a company for not wanting people to screw around with their game. A game they legally own all the code and rights to.
Sorry, it is their right to do this. boycotting them isnt going to make them change their mind. In fact, I hear Tomonobu considers his characters his "Children". You just dont fark with someones kids. I respect him, and, his work. Why cant people do the same?
I am a former N-Gage owner. I liked it alot. I had to give it up due to being downsized.
I own a DS now, and consider that my handheld of choice for now, though, when my wallet permist it, Im gonna get an old N-gage, taco talkin didnt bother me.
DS may be a seperate "Pillar" of Nintendo. Its still Nintendo. I think everyone will agree with me here, having one company have no competition in a marketplace will get you Pokemon colors til the cows come home.
Time for all the people who dont own an Ngage, never used one, or, used one shortly in a demo display to come forth and spew bile, FUD, and uninformed opinions.
Because having ONE handheld game console would be just so swell and make innovation a MUST.
The gaming industry isnt filled with the "beautiful people" of the Film Industry. Plus they dont get political like the Hollywood elite do. Politicians and law makers can sqaush them at will with no repercussions.
Slashdot Mirror
From what I heard, there are going to be sponsored events by the game makers so that everyone can play, regardless of package, for a little bit.
Maybe a whole weekend for all games. Maybe for the sponsored game. Just something I recall overhearing.
I guess you never worked retail in your life.
You lucky bastard.

Because Apple is full of Artiste's
And Microsoft is full of engineers.
Stupidity isnt contaigous. These people would be so infected with the disease, they would have to be quarantined.
Once again, conservatives arent at the forefront of this. Its Liberal wanna be Hillary and Joe Leiberman.
make me wish I had mod points.

Sky is Blue, water is wet, and, Parents arent parenting properly.
After all, they try to buy the presidency with each election.

for enough money, people will say the damndest things.
Same people who subscribe to 50-60 dolar a month digital cable service and get banner ads on the guide system.
I hate those damn things, in fact, my cable company used to have them right in the show info banner itself! Unfortunately, looks like they are here to stay. I wish it wasnt so.
So, let me get this straight.
You want people to boycott a company for not wanting people to screw around with their game. A game they legally own all the code and rights to.
Sorry, it is their right to do this. boycotting them isnt going to make them change their mind. In fact, I hear Tomonobu considers his characters his "Children". You just dont fark with someones kids. I respect him, and, his work. Why cant people do the same?
So, you must be one of those people who use an emulator to emulate old TI calcs?
Right?
Moron.
I am a former N-Gage owner. I liked it alot. I had to give it up due to being downsized.
I own a DS now, and consider that my handheld of choice for now, though, when my wallet permist it, Im gonna get an old N-gage, taco talkin didnt bother me.
So, using an Emulator isnt pirating?
I know that if you own it, but, who owns the thousands of NES games there are?
Not many.
DS may be a seperate "Pillar" of Nintendo. Its still Nintendo. I think everyone will agree with me here, having one company have no competition in a marketplace will get you Pokemon colors til the cows come home.
