[QUOTE="proteKYFM"]Graphics were alright, a little less than I expected. Kind of in between Halo 2 and what I thought would've been Halo 3. Gameplay looks awesome though and that's what the Halo franchise is all about.helium_flash

I thought that the environments in each map were pretty bland (i almost watched the entire marathon).  I with GS would have told us if they thought the maps were balanced or not.

And the gameplay seemed repetitive

if there is a microplay near u they wil fix for 5 $ CAN  and gold is for online , i bet u knocked over xbox 360 and the reader scrached it happend to my carbon and call of duty 3pooladden

i would love to know what the % is on returned consoles is now.. I know it ain't no 3 to 5%.. Thats a bunch of crap..  Everyone I know that owns one is on they're second or third console now..Recon13

[QUOTE="Alidude3"]Go to a video shop rent the game out swap it with their copy lol. It does work.gellis1981

Yeah, if you want to be a thief...stealing isn't the answer. Here's your answer....man up and send in your copy with $20 to xbox...and for god sakes don't move your xbox while the disc is spinning and make sure the xbox is horizontal while playing and not vertical!!

mine did the same thing omG!!! cept mine has 4 rings around it and still works (i have no idea how if you see the scratches), just buy gears at walmart switch the discs and take it back.

anyways the reason the 360 scratches discs is because it doesnt have 4 pads around the lens that reads the discs. The kind of dvd player the 360 uses is supposed to cuz if you buy an actual dvd player by that brand it has 4 plastic pads around the lens to prevent scratches. M$ is just too cheap to spend an extra 1$ a console for them.

I just bought a used Xbox recently. Signed up for Xbox Live and I've been having a blast. Lot's of people still playing Halo 2, Crimson skies, Star Wars Battlefront, Tetris, Mech Assault, Unreal, etc. -But not so much on some other games I've bought cheap or rented. (Racing games like Rallisport 2, Powerdrome, Project Gothem 2 or other games Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Godzilla, Poker, etc.) 

I'd like to get a 360 but I'm gonna wait until they integrate the HD-DVD player (which may be never) or until I can get a 360 used for what I just paid for my orignial Xbox ($100 @ gamecrazy)  I've bought too many old games that are not backward compatible to get rid of it when I do get a 360 anyway.

But my cheap ass is seriously thinking of buying a Nintendo Wii at full price even. Especially since it's fully backward compatible with the old gamecube games and if they keep expanding their virtual console downloads (waiting for an updated/online Pod racer and the original Turok)
