I remember, a while back, Google had a link allowing you to submit a website to its search engine. Is that possible now? I can't find it. Maybe now Google only relys on its spider.

Yeah. Just use remember password, and just hit enter everytime you log on. You get used to it after a while. When it asks me for my password, I know that my wireless connection is functional, so it is pretty useful.

Halo was one of the best games ever made, and Halo 2 won huge amounts of awards for best graphics, best gameplay, best multiplayer, best original soundtrack, and others at the Gphoria game awards and others. Don't tell me Halo or Halo 2 was a flop. After Halo 2 was released, half a million people bought Xbox Live, and a million bought Xbox. I don't know how you got internet in your underground bunker you've been living in for the past couple of years...

I used to play quite frequently, now, I only play on the weekends, because the level system is so flawed. I'll have a montage up on my site at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ soon If I could play CS or BF without my system crashing, I would. My parents wont let me play on their custom made computer, so I'm stuck with xbox.

If I go on vacation and fail to post, will you take away my site? I didn't activiate my site yet, so will I lose credits if I don't post?

Well, GIFs don't need to be small. It's just the number of colors really. If its a black and white sketch, he should by all means use a gif, not a jpg, regardless of the size. And by the way, I think he knew that gifs had to be low in quality, but he was asking how to create high-resolution gifs that he's seen. Oh, and by the way, for post number 3, you can find the original picture at http://halo.bungie.net/images/games/Halo2/s_mp_warlock.jpg Its much larger, because photobucket.com resized my image.

These are some tips I picked up. Some may be old hat, some may be new. I'm not sure who reads this, so I put some important things I use all the time.1. Jump punch. Always remember that a melee in midair does more damage than a melee when you are stationary.2. Fast melee. To melee faster than normal: punch, switch weapons, then punch, etc. It punches much faster. You can also punch, tap x, punch.3. Block PP shot. To block a plasma pistol shot, dual wield. When a plasma shot nears you, punch. The shot will hit the gun that you throw away, not you. Practice this.4. Evade sword. Strafe to the right right when the enemy lunges, you can backwhack him.5. Sweep sniping. To sweep snipe, fire, then immediately swing your reticule over the target's head. HEADSHOT.6. Explosions. Frag grenades explode when other things near it explode (ie, plasma grenades, fusion cores, etc.)7. Jumping. When jumping, be in the habit of tapping crouch rapidly in mid air. Not only will you make it hard for snipers to hit you, (your bobs up and down, too), you will also have the added help of jumping an inch higher (because you are crouched).8. Slide jumping. When you jump onto a slanted surface, crouch (before you land), then jump after you land, and you are sliding (because of your momenteum). You will not only jump, but you will go much higher than normal.

Yeah, photoshop is more powerful and more worthy of my work. I tried both trials, and I can't say paintshoppro impressed me that much. I view it as a Photoshop wannabe.

Look at . Its a gif, and if photobucket.com didn't resize it, it would be much higher quality. I'm assuming you have Windows. Hit Ctrl+Shift+S to Save-As. Save as a CompuServe gif. Hit save. to the right of "Palette," choose Local ..., whichever. Or Master... whichever. The colors should be 256. I find it best to have forced: black and white. Interlaced or not, it doesn't really matter. Reply when you read this, because i need to take that picture down soon.

Xbox 360 owns all.\Xbox 360 has a better graphics card, although it has a slower processor. Then again, wouldn't 3 3.2 GHz processors be enough? I think its just how you use the game. If you compare James Bond: Agent Under Fire's graphics to Halo 2's graphics, you can tell that its not really the hardware, but the software that applies it. I personally think that the PS3's processor was overdoing it. The AI and physics is fine in Xbox, so there's really is no need for an excess. Plus, now everyone has to buy surround sound and component video cable for their Xbox 360's and PS3's.

You only put down James Bond and Star Wars. My list is 1. Halo 2 2. Half-Life 2 3. CS 4. Americas Army 5. Desert Storm James Bond is too bland. The graphics are horrible, and hes such a pervert. Star Wars (in my opinion) is too childish and obviously fake. There is no blood in either game and both are too unrealistic. A FPS that is rated T or E should not be called a FPS. To Jeigh's post: So what would the so called Third Person Shooters be called? TPS? Are there Second person Shooters, also? Just because the view is in 3rd person doesn't mean that you are not doing the shooting. What about when you can toggle the views in Battlefield: 1942? Does it suddenly become TPS just because you like to see in third person while your in a plane?

Dude. I can make something up and call it a glitch too. Here, I'll show you. Push the X button, then the J button, then the R trigger, then tap in the right toggle, and Master Chief will become huge and Coagulation will appear and you will die. Also, once you respawn during a multiplayer match, look right 83 and a half times. Now look down. tap L twice. You should be Master Chief blow up. What a great glitch!

1. Practice. I know this is soo cliched, but it wont kill you to play a couple of custom sniping matches on weird places, such as ivory tower, lockout, midship (Oh, God!), Beaver Creek, and any other small map.2. Try getting more headshots.3. Sweep sniping. With a sniper, put your reticule near your target. Fire, then quickly snap the reticule over the target's head (or body). Practice it, and try to get it smoothly and faster. Sometimes, you may feel more comfortable snapping the reticule from right to left and vice versa. It doesn't matter. This will allow you to pull off those crazy no scopes as well as some nice long range shots.4. When sniping, use your whole body to aim. Strafe left and right to make minute changes to your aim and where you will fire. If you have your look sensitivity high, (like 8, for me), strafing is a must.5. Change your look sensitivity from the default (which is 3? i think). Work at it gradually, until you can get it to at least five. (i prefer 8, but sometimes even thats not sensitive enough). When you get good enough, you should to be able to snipe a person right out a ghost.6. Be patient. When being attacked by an enemy and you have a sniper, try to snipe them. Either sweep snipe them (I can't do this under pressure), or put your reticule near them and strafe until the target is in your sights.7. Watch sniping montages. Good sniping is not so much being able to put the reticule over the opponents head fast as it is knowing when you can snipe and get a kill. I watch my friends play, and there are about 5 times per game when they are sniping and I just think, "They could have sniped them right there." They had at least half a second of that guy's head being in his reticule. I'm talking about just pulling the trigger, not sweep sniping or anything complicated.8. DO NOT PANIC! This is very important. If you panic, you will definitely not get the kill. Just remember that its just a game.9. Dont overdo yourself. If you cant get headshots, dont (unless you are practicing). So you waste one extra round. Its better than missing 3 times before and getting one headshot.This is tried and true. This is all I remember doing to go from not being able to snipe a stationary target, to being able to no-scope efficiently and being able to snipe people out of a boosting ghost.--Sneamia

PP+Magnum is the best. It requires more skill than PP+BR, but it is faster, more versatile (you don't have to switch back to PP if you miss the PP shot). Yeah, I agree that the Magnum+Magnum sucks, especially how they screwed it up with the AutoUpdate. The sniper, br combo isnt dual wielding. But if it is, the best combo would have to be sniper. Thats it. Best for long range and short range. And yes, it can beat the pp+br combo. It is one shot, while the pp+br is 2 shots. The pp goes too slowly to be effective against a skilled sniper, and the pp cant be fired at close range.

Yeah, but it wont solve the main problem--the flood. Also, the flood must be very important, as the forerunners built structure to destroy all sentinent life except the flood. Couldn't they just make some sort of special weapon against the flood? Also, the Halos' weapons and the signals must travel at faster-than-light speeds to fire instantaneously and without delay, and the question arises as how that is acheived. And, doesn't this sound like the story of Noah's Ark? The Flood causes all life to be destroyed except some people and animals on the Ark (the Earth). Then, after the Flood recedes, there is a rainbow (maybe the Halos? I'm not sure what the rainbow is referring to), and the Covenant is formed. Notice that I said "recede" for the flood--not disappeared or died or is gone without a trace. I heard Halo 3 was to be release with PS3, in Q2 of 2006. Anyone to confirm this?
