lledslinger — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:39:29 +0000

The 789 Chevy from N2A is a very off the wall Gadget and I love it although I can't afford one.

The 789 Chevy is a combo of the classic cars from 1957, 1958 & 1959 N2A Rolled them all Into One!

The 789 Chevy was built by N2A motors which stands for No Two Alike.
The N2A company has plans for a production run
Of about 100 vehicles. The 769 sits on a Corvette C6 chassis,
Front styled after the 57 Chevy, side like a 58 Chevy, and the rear like a 59 Chevy.
Thus the designation "789."

Halo 3 Screenshots

lledslinger — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 11:45:50 +0000

People love to make and post screenshots of the games they play, so it's no wonder there are a lot of screenshots to be found for Halo 3. Find out where to find, and what are, some strange and wild Halo 3 screenshots.

It takes a lot of people to generate so many Halo 3 screenshots. Halo 3 has sold over 8.1 million copies. So if each of those games generates just ten hours of play there are 81 million hours of play to generate screenshots. A lot of strange things can happen over the course of 81 million hours, and it's easy for people to document it online.

Some Halo 3 screenshots try to be an expose on the true look of the Master Chief. If you use Google to look up top 10 weirdest Halo 3 screen shots, or inside a helmet, you'll find a picture of Master Chief laying dead on the ground, clearly showing no face inside his helmet. This explains why we never see his face, say many commenter s, because he actually has none.

Someone thought an interesting one of these Halo 3 screenshots is a marine hammered. He looks a lot like Han Solo when he was frozen in carbonite.

The makers of Halo 3 decided to make it much easier for people to take Halo 3 screenshots, and to share them all over the Internet. To accomplish this they created a saved films feature right inside the game. This feature allows players to slow down the action, or even freeze it, then change camera angles and move the camera around to get exactly the screenshot they would like to see. Everything that happens in the game becomes Halo 3 screenshots fodder.

Another feature that has a little bit to do with Halo 3 screenshots of the save films feature is a game viewing of saved films. The saved file includes all the data from the game. Halo 3 becomes a replay machine with small files easily transferred from person to person. People use it to study games, as well as to find things they may have missed while playing. That's a lot better than simple Halo 3 screenshots.

Halo 3 Costumes

lledslinger — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:45:37 +0000

Many people like the game Halo 3 and choose to express that by wearing Halo 3 costumes. This article discusses not only where to find some Halo 3 costumes but how to make your own.

Most Halo 3 costumes are Master Chief costumes as he is the main character of the Halo series. Gamers who have been Master Chief in the game often can't wait for the opportunity to become him outside of the game. Halo 3 costumes become an extension of the game.

What elements do Master Chief Halo 3 costumes have? Fans of the game don't really have to ask. Master Chief wears green futuristic armor and Halo helmet with a shielded faceplate. Of course the costume could also be red or blue, as depending on which side you play in the game that would be your color.

Some Halo 3 costumes are under $100 including the helmet. Some high end costumes which look exactly like the game character sell for $1000. Such costumes, however, are generally worn by professional actors when they play the part of the Halo character, possibly Master Chief, at public events.

Halo 3 costumes are home made by many people. They generally consist of various pieces of body armor painted into the colors of the desired Halo character – often green, red, or blue. They will also often include ammunition pouches as well as hand detailing to make sure the armor looks like it does in the game. Some people make costumes that look better than the very expensive ones. Halo teams like the 405th infantry division proudly display their Halo 3 costumes on their web sites.

Halo 3 costumes are often as much fun as the game. It's a sign of the game's popularity. You may not want to wear the Halo 3 costumes, but if you haven't already done so, give Halo 3 and the entire Halo series a try.

Halo 3 Glitches

lledslinger — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:58:53 +0000

Like any video game Halo has its share of glitches. Here are some of the Halo 3 glitches.

Even with Halo 3 glitches the game has been one of the best sellers of all time. The first week it was available it grossed over 300 million dollars. The game has sold over 8 million copies. Many people come in contact with Halo 3 glitches.

There are many Halo 3 glitches detailed online. Every glitch is posted, analyzed and even explained in detail in videos. The video posting is excellent because not only can you read about the glitch, you can also see it in action and learn exactly what must be done to execute it. There are even websites dedicated to Halo 3 glitches – this include the halo section of video tutorials, Halo 3 glitches, and a host of others.

Do you want to learn about specific Halo 3 glitches? One of them is called auto float, it was posted on YouTube by an organization called twisted glitches. Non game hosts can speed float or float objects more quickly near the end of games.

A related member of the Halo 3 glitches is called the ban hammer, which involves being able to kill anyone anywhere on the map instantly with a hammer. Both the host and a non host standing on the hammer pick it up at the same time. The non host then presses right trigger which makes his arms disappear. Now the non host can kill anyone, anywhere with one blow. Look it up on Youtube.

Many of the Halo 3 glitches are really cheats that shouldn't be used for playing a fair game of Halo 3. It may be fun to have extra powers for a little while, but in the long run the challenge of the game is destroyed and it's not much fun being able to beat everyone when they really have no chance to compete. Use Halo 3 glitches a little bit, but not a lot. They can be fun, but they can also ruin a fantastic game.

Halo 3 Trial Download

lledslinger — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:19:14 +0000

As the last game in a trilogy, Halo 3 was wildly anticipated. That led to the Halo 3 trial download becoming the most downloaded game demo in Xbox 360 history. The Halo 3 trial download also helped another game, Crackdown, become successful.

What does the Halo 3 trial download have to do with another game? Crackdown was originally planned for the Xbox, and so needed an extraordinary marketing effort for the 360. People became worried that a delay and new system would result in failure. So they used a marketing gimmick – bundle Crackdown with an access code to the Halo 3 trial download. It worked to the tune of Crackdown selling 1.5 million copies in the first six months of release. Halo 3 did much better, selling over 8 million copies in a year, but it was a huge success for Crackdown.

Microsoft had turned to the Halo 3 trial download because of poor opinions given to the game by the playtesters. They found the nonlinear nature of the game to be confusing, often leaving them wondering what it was they were supposed to do next. That led Microsoft into coming up with a clever marketing plan. Some people may think it's underhanded to trick people into buying a game, but Crackdown was a good game that needed a little push.

In crackdown, including the version bundled with the Halo 3 trial download, people play as an agent who are assigned to defeat the kingpins, or leaders, of various gangs. Like superheroes, the agents have powers such as super sight and speed. They accumulate these powers by building experience by taking orbs from defeated enemies. The orb released depended on the manner in which the enemy had been killed. Kill an enemy with a gun to gain a firearms orb.

So because it was bundled with the Halo 3 trial download, Crackdown became a game many people liked.

Halo 3 Trailer Testament

lledslinger — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:26:27 +0000

The Halo 3 trailer was one of the most anticipated video game trailers in the history of the industry. Actually there were multiple trailers available for download all over the Internet with a total of over 100 million views. Networks spend tens of millions of dollars to achieve viewer numbers far smaller than that. It's a testament to the popularity of the series, and the expectations of fans as they waited for the final installment of the original trilogy.

Expectations grew a lot prior to the Halo 3 trailer. Halo 3 would end the original trilogy, so people were very interested as to how the series story line would resolve. There could be spoilers or information as to the Halo rings or the Founders' ultimate plans for them. People watched it as they might watch an episode of popular television mystery series like Lost, or CSI. This crossover, people who wanted a video game watching trailers to give them information about the game, might represent a future trend in the entertainment world.

The Halo 3 trailer proved to be accurate as far as what people could expect with the game. Fans were happy to see the continuation of the story, the golden triangle of Halo retained for combat, and also some new wrinkles unique to this game. One of these was that for the first time a player maps could actually be edited and then made available to the public to play on a server via Xbox Live. This turned out to be a wildly popular feature of Halo 3.

Where are some of the places where the Halo 3 trailer can still be found? When dealing with videos online it's always a good bet to check YouTube – that's a place where one of the trailers, the Gamedaily trailer shown on Monday night football on December 4, 2006, can be seen. For some who still may not have the game this is an excellent way to take a look at what the action will be like when you play. Someday you may see Master Chief doing his thing on the big screen.

Hello 3 skulls locations can be obtained by completing levels from the beginning on normal or higher difficulty level, although resume game can be used from the point a game was saved. Skulls are not saved with the game, but rather with the player. Players turn on Halo 3 skulls in the campaign lobby. Once activated the skull effect is maintained throughout the game.

Gold Halo 3 skulls and silver Halo 3 skulls each do different things. Gold skulls are achievements which add multipliers to campaign meta game scores, they affect difficulty of gameplay, making it more of a challenge for people who have more skills.

A Halo 3 Mod

lledslinger — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:54:59 +0000

A Halo 3 mod is generally considered to be any software modification that changes the gameplay in the super popular video game for the Xbox 360, Halo 3. But the term also encompasses many other modifications, such as physical changes made to the Xbox 360 console to show the world that you're hard-core Halo fanatic.

To create a Halo 3 mod a person requires certain tool sets and know how. Halo 3 consists of a number of file types to view, edit and save. As well, hardware is needed to let a PC communicate with the Xbox 360 drive. The Xbox 360 isn't used to make the modifications. Developers who have paid receive a set of tools for development. But the Halo 3 community bucked that system by developing their own tools.

A Halo 3 mod also encompass, as stated earlier, physical changes to Xbox 360 console. The word Halo 3 might be carved right into the console case by some people. The console could also be painted red, blue or green to match character colors. It's a pretty extreme way to say to the world - I love Halo 3 – in that sometimes it could result in actual damage that renders an Xbox 360 unplayable. Many images of modded Xbox 360s can be found online.

One of the things that people who are interested in the world of the Halo 3 mod try to focus on is that these should not be used for cheating. Modifications are fun to get a new twist on Halo 3 play, or a new look or feel for certain levels. The mods are powerful things that could be abused to ruin the game.

Halo 3 Mods For Gamers

lledslinger — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 11:03:21 +0000

Halo 3 mods are in demand because so many people own the popular video game. People make the mods and make them available on web sites and file servers. Almost every element of the game has been featured in one or more Halo 3 mods. Halo 3 can become many different games.

Before one can make Halo 3 mods one needs the proper tools in order to hack into the files, and modify them. The Halo 3 toolbox is a popular tool set. With this set of PC applications and an Xbox 360 hard drive, almost any needed change can be made. In the beginning Microsoft was very stingy with giving up tools to mod the game. However, many people in the community found ways around them and now many people can mod the game.

ModHalo is a popular web site for Halo 3 mods. Not only does the site review mods, but it shows people where to find the tools needed to make the mods. It's really just a message board where posts contain the information. The site lists the good and the bad like a map made to look like a McDonald's restaurant which received very low ratings.

There are other types of Halo 3 mods besides the mods that change the game. Sometimes people make changes to their hardware to reflect the fact they play Halo. Images of modified hardware are often posted on image sites like Flickr. Some of these include cutting out part of the case to write the word halo or a number three in the case. People go to great extremes to express their love for Halo.

People also like to post videos of them playing a game with Halo 3 mods. It's something of an element of showing off for people not only to give a glimpse of what they have created, but to show how well they can play within the universe of their own design.

Halo 3 Weapon Cheat Not

lledslinger — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:57:33 +0000

While researching an article for a Halo 3 weapon cheat I stumbled on a make believe scenario – who would win a battle between Halo's Master Chief and various famous characters? Read about these epic battles.

Robocop may have the best Halo 3 weapon cheat of all, but he earned it through near death and now he's facing the Master Chief. According to the information on the Internet both have some similarities – they're human, they've been enhanced, they have amazing armor, and they are both veteran combatants. Most respondents thought that Master Chief would defeat the Robocop. Let's face facts, Master chief can be defeated with a pistol, whereas Robocop kept on going after being blown up at a gas station. The nod has to go to Robocop.

The next fight might not even be worthwhile unless Master Chief has a Halo 3 weapon cheat. It's time for a fight with Macgyver. Master Chief is tough. He is proficient with a number of weapons, he has that amazing armor, he has some incredible vehicles at his disposal, he's a Clint Eastwood type loner, and he can regenerate himself. Macgyver has that amazing brain. This battle is similar to Superman facing Batman. Closed arena physical fighting goes to Master Chief. But open arena with access to even household items means a landslide win for Macgyver.

A Halo 3 weapon cheat looks pretty good to Master Chief from his position at 0-2. Let's see how he does this time when he faces the Terminator. We already know Master Chief's strengths, the terminator's consist of an ability to master every weapon, relentless willpower, doesn't get tired, amazing focus to kill his target, and the skill with systematic elimination. Two words win this – Spartan Laser. In the Terminator TV series we've seen what an energy weapon can do to a Terminator.

Forget the Halo 3 weapon cheat, Master Chief has one more fight on his hands. What can he do against Boba Fett from Star Wars? The only differences between Master Chief and Boba Fett are that Boba has no shields, owns his own ship, and has a jet pack. Some people give the nod to the bounty hunter, but Master Chief simply has too many weapons. The final tally is Master Chief 2, opponents 2 – a draw.
