i just started playing it, pretty cool.

but i think MS can read firmware with the last update, i have NEVER played anything early and use ABGX on level 3 and i still got banned the other day.

IIRC, ABGX using level 3 attempts to correct bad rips...or at least if it doesn't pass on level 1 verification, it's a bad rip.

[jagojon3]

Supposedly it's called iXtreme Lite Touch. It will be released for the Lite-On first so maybe that's just a drive specific version name.

[jagojon3]

btw L4D2 just recently leaked and it's a new Wave 5 release... not really bad news.

[Jorsher]

Yeah.

According to C4EVA the LT firmware will be as close to the original firmware as possible and won't care about the different waves.  It's believed the modded consoles are being detected by how the firmware acts, not by reading the actual firmware, so he's redoing it without a lot of the hacks/patches and making it as similar to the original firmware as possible while still allowing it to play back-ups.

I guess I'll keep mine offline until the new firmware.

Jago - did you get axed from live?

[bryantaylor]

of course C4 is going to say MS can't read the firmware.  but the fact remains that as of right now over a million consoles have been banned in the last couple of weeks and people that have flashed and have NEVER even played a burned game have been banned.  so if people that haven't even played anything yet have been banned its very obvious that MS can read the firmware.

and you can check to see if you have been banned online.  register your box if you havent done it yet on xbox.com.  then try and request a repair, if it says:

Error

This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try back again later.

then that console is banned.

[Jorsher]

You don't need to read the firmware to detect it's modified.

You send the drive a challenge, and it responds in a way that an original firmware wouldn't.

You don't need to read a firmware to detect it's modified...they've banned countless times before.

Fact is, nobody knows, and I choose to believe the opinion of the person who has created all the firmwares over someone on an auto forum.

If they could read the firmware, he wouldn't be working on a new firmware.  Changing a single byte will cause a hashcheck to fail, and if they were reading the firmwares they'd be able to detect any change, and thus it'd be pointless for him to make a new one.

What do you mean about c4?  He's always told where he fucked up or how they caught people using his firmwares.  You using his firmware is your own risk, why should he care if you get upset?

[jagojon3]

Yea I got banned, no biggie.

I am going to come out with my own taco firmware, it will always win a taco challenge

[jagojon3]

DAMMIT

[d112crzy]

I'm gonna go to taco hell and buy me some burritos.

was playing online earlier and holy shit every 15 mins the server was crashing.
i really hope they change their minds about dedicated servers.

one round there was about 15 players and all but one player on one team was dropped leaving it like 7 on 1.

[Corey]

they have some serious issues with party invites on ps3, to the tune of not being able to even accept invites nd join peoples party. any issues with xbox?

When I was a kid I watched a friend load a grilled cheese into a VCR.  You always heard of kids doing that, sort of an urban myth of the time, I guess he decided to try it.

what an awesome ending. when is mw3:soap and price against mankind coming out?

[bigwig]

I finally got this game on Friday.  Man am I terrible.  I won't even bother playing online yet.

[jagojon3]

I loved the ending too. Playing through campaign again for no reason today.

I wouldn't bother playing online until you at least beat the campaign. You'll naturally be way better by then.

[Avistar23]

you guys are making me want to buy an x box.

Yeah, I'm working through the campaign now.  I think I'm about half way.  I'm playing on recruit or regular.  I forget which.  I'll probably play it again at the next higher level and beat some more of the special ops stuff before I go on XBL.

I started the special ops last night.  Jesus christ, how is it possible someone goes through the training facility in 35 seconds without killing a civilian and killing all of the enemies?  My best was 50 seconds.  I know in a week, I'll be able to do it in 45 seconds, but 35 seconds seems impossible.

I would keep it offline if I were you. If it gets banned then your HDD profile data gets corrupt so switching to a unbanned 360 to play online or what not is annoying as hell. Mine got hit with the wave, but found a guy online on CL that wanted to swap his unmodded 360 for a banned/modded one.

Met up with him some older dude, said he didn't play enough to justify $70 on a game haha. Swapped with him and his is the Hitachi (which I was hoping BenQ, but oh well). Hopefully will have this one modded here soon and then will have a permanent offline console without the annoying HDD corruption or inability to save games to HDD.

Pistols its really not that hard wait until you try the Echo spec ops on veteran the last one even says "this isn't even possible".

It's more possible than you making a correct n00b post, retard.

Ive already went through it in 30 seconds you have to be moving forward the whole time.

Easiest thing to do is just memorize the targets. They are always in the same spot. I got like 43 seconds on the third try and said enough of this.

You get bonus points for stabbing all the civilians
