Halo

Isn't the switch just 2001's graphics to 2011's?

Yeah, but I think (at least in my opinion) you will have more of an appreciation for the 2011 graphics if you've already played through the 2001 graphics.

[Space Sweeper]

Yeah, but that's more of a thing for long time fans who played it like that when there was no other option. With the option to switch back and forth, I'd be surprised if any newcomers play through without hitting the 'Back' button for much prettier graphics.

"Halo, it's finished."

And tonight, with the conclusion of Halo 3, my six game Halo marathon is over. It's been a great experience, from the moment I retook Harvest, to watching Reach fall, discovering the Halo rings, and finally finishing the fight and watching the Chief journey into the unknown.

Now, all that's left to do is wait for Anniversary and the new trilogy. It's been fun, and the wait should be just as exciting. Who knows what the future has in store?

"No, I think we're just getting started."

We need to.finish Wars!

We need to.finish Wars!

That's right! You want to give it a go now?

[DoomRulz]

Yeah, but that's more of a thing for long time fans who played it like that when there was no other option. With the option to switch back and forth, I'd be surprised if any newcomers play through without hitting the 'Back' button for much prettier graphics.

That's not surprising when you consider that this game is being released to what seems like the older generation of Halo fans. The newer group is already playing Reach and this would just be a bonus to them. I played the first Halo and I'm getting this because I want to see the new game in the newer engine.

Exactly the reason I'm getting it (Although I didn't play CE until after Halo 3 came out).

But this is probably just as cool for the new fans of Reach, because this literally picks up right where Reach ends. Once they play this, they'll probably want to try the rest of the games in the series.

What's wrong with your Live? Are you just unsure how to set everything up?

[TheMonolith]

Sadly, yes.
hat and I have been putting it off to do yard work, but I am taking a few days rest.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Here is how to do it, right off of Microsoft's XBox website, if that's any help

Yeah, the newer XBoxes from 2010+ have built in WiFi. Mine has it, but I still use wired, because I tihnk it runs a bit better.
