I was about to suggest just that same thing for those who don't have broadband. I mean most everyone knows SOMEONE or SOMEWHERE where they can go for broadband. I mean, even an internet cafe or work or something. Sign up, download the patch, and then CANCEL RIGHT AWAY. If you do not, and just...

Just give me an example of one that has a center on yours, Tino, and I'll check out my copy! Try to stay mainstream, my collection probably tops 500 but a lot are TV on DVD. Carlo

For Tino, I checked my system with concert DVDs that had 5.1 and stereo tracks, and sure enough, on the stereo tracks only sound comes from my L & R speakers, no center channel activity.

Well, in all fairness, the color thing is a bit dicey unless they are relatively close [and also if you play enough matches in a row, you start having trouble remembering "are we red or blue?"]. Often I find myself relying on the flag/arrow-method if I have a rocket launcher or other...

No arguments here Tino, you have a valid, legitimate complaint. The game is advertised as 5.1 and it very clearly isn't 5.1. More like 4.1. I just wanted to make sure that when you play, you weren't missing out on the sound in front of you. Because although my center channel is dead (I...

Tino, I do get you. I understand there is zero sound coming out of your center, and yes, advertising this as 5.1 is misleading (and incorrect). But you say it's a problem, and I'm trying to understand why. So I have to ask: when you play a movie that is just stereo, hence no center channel...

Tino, I hear what you're saying, but what I'm saying is that from my normal sitting position, with the volume up at normal levels, I do not get the feeling that anything is missing, sound-wise. I haven't put my ear up to my center, but I'll trust your judgment on that. But my only point was...

I haven't noticed the lack of center channel. I'm not saying that there is a CC, but if mine isn't activated, they've imaged the left/right channels so that it seems there is a center channel. So in my mind, there isn't a problem as I'm hearing what I think I should be hearing, as far as...

Just realized I did a big After Hours no-no...posting about the girl w/o providing the pic!

Steven, I did with the original Halo as well. I never owned it, but I played splitscreen w/ my friends and would get sick. The few times I play splitscreen on Halo2 I get a bit of dizziness but not as much as on Halo. When I play single-player (campaign or online) I do not get vertigo. My...

Okay, my quick update based on 3 hours of playing last night: First off I tried to sign onto Live and immediately got a note that I had to download something. It didn't say what the download was. It had been a couple of months since I signed onto Live, maybe it was a routine download. But...

A fair question, and the more we read, the more we find out that the normal game is NOT 16:9 enhanced (unlike DOA3 and DOA Ultimate). Only co-op mode is (if that statement is to be believed). And looking at Scott's new shots of co-op mode, the HUD is close to the edge, but if you're at 5%...

Apparently (and again I'll clarify tonight when I have my copy in hand) this is ***not*** a widescreen game ***EXCEPT*** in the case of splitscreen cooperative mode. It is in this mode that the HUD (part of them) is off the screen. Keep in mind, I'm just interpreting that one line: "In...

Now that issue is more cloudy, maybe we can get a little bit of clarification (which I'll attempt tonight after buying the game): The problem of losing parts of the HUD happen in splitscreen mode, correct? What we see with Scott's screencaps are that the single player / online mode is 4:3...

Well Jay, in all fairness, if the problem is for WS users in some modes that the HUD is cut off (even partially) that does affect gameplay. I'm one of those who is also saying to hell with it and buying it anyway. Now that I'm live enabled I hardly ever do splitscreen anyway, and my best...

Just out of curiousity, I wonder if the LE version of the game exhibits the same problem. I'm 90% sure it would (as I doubt it was a separate pressing or mastering of that disc) but if it was a different master, maybe that version has the proper widescreen display? Can anyone with an LE...

The answer is "we don't know until MS/Bungie says something officially." If we were all confident that a patch download would address this, we would just pick the game up pronto (I had planned on buying it during my lunch break). Unfortunately, if this isn't addressable via download and we...
