Halo 3 - The Final Word 106

Posted by Zonk
from the actually-lots-of-words-mostly-from-parish dept.
In anticipation of Halo 3's release later this month, EGM and the folks at 1up have been creating a veritable altar to the Halo deities over at the website. This edifice has tons of information on the two previous Halo games, commentary from numerous Halo-literate folks on the subject, as well as weightier articles like a preview of the co-op mode (four players, mind), a primer on the story if you've missed something, and a breakdown of the good and bad in Halo 3 . Yes, there are even some things they don't like about the game. From the co-op breakdown: "The Achievements offered tantalizing hints of the game's structure, features and techniques, a welcome morsel of information for the faithful to contemplate and speculate about. The co-op news was greeted with even more warmth, because it put to rest ill-founded rumors that Bungie was planning to deliver a half-completed game. On the contrary; up to four players will be able to take control of the Master Chief, the Arbiter and two Elite warriors, N'tho 'Sraom and Usze 'Taham. (Don't bother trying to pronounce their names; just appreciate the promise of joining up with three friends to conquer the game.) And somewhere in the middle, these two topics are connected by something even more intriguing. Halo's co-op game and its Gamerscore-grinding intersect at a point enigmatically referred to in the game's Achievements as the 'Meta-game.'"

MMORPG Games and Fraud->

Submitted by WWoWW
WWoWW writes "In the world of MMORPGs, also known simply as online games, players can meet other players, become friends, engage in battle, fight shoulder to shoulder against evil, find their virtual destiny... However not all is well in these virtual worlds, where virtual evil can become greedy reality. Online games are played by real people, including thieves and con artists who make real money by stealing other people's virtual property. This article explores how MMORPG passwords and virtual property are stolen and how other malicious acts are committed against MMORPG players."

It's been a long time since I wrote that. Almost a year. How time flies and how things change. I've been hired to a pretty cool job, IT Admin for a small auction company, my gun collection has grown by one gun (Bushmaster AR-15...sweet gun), and I've had and lost a girlfriend. I can't believe I actually used winbloze and was semi serious when I did so (last journal). Please, ignore that and lets move on to bigger and better things. /. is the shit and we all know it. Freed

Howdy all. I've been scanning slashdot for awhile now, and I finally decided to register. Been using the rss feeder to mainly get my headlines. Anyway, today is my birthday. I'm a 27 year old former active duty Marine. I'm currently in school to get my degree in networking technology. I have a vast love for computers and recently started using linux for most everyday computing and winbloze for games. I love guns, and I've got a good collection going.
