Yeah thats what i'm looking for. . . I downloaded 2 .torrents for it already and both of them were corrupt. When I extracted the .iso to my xbox it's missing the maps/fonts and media folders altogether so I'm getting dirty disc errors. If anyone in Austin already has this please help me out.

Dude good luck with it. . . I actually think i'm getting a bad extraction on the .rar files and it's messing up everything. If you have any questions on how to do it feel free to AIM me at donk424

After it's done you should have 61 50mb .rar files . . . highlight them all and extract them to one big .iso file . . . you should have another folder that has a smaller zip file, unzip it and then put the .iso file inthere with anything that it unzipped . . . run the dvd5 patch on the .iso (a command prompt should come up, and it takes forever) . . . now it's done, you can either rip the game to a DVD5 or just use qwix to FTP it into your box. I would recommend extracting the final .iso file befor you FTP to make sure everything you have is in there, cuz mine was missing a couple of folders and didn't work.

Get a SFV checker and find out which files are corrupt, then just redownload the ones you need.

Finally got it, don't bother using Qwix or anything to FTP it. . . just burn the dvd5.iso file to a DVD+RW and rip it as slow as possible.

Its terrible . . . I like to think I'm pretty good at halo 1 and the new multiplayer is pretty bad. The sword is pretty fun to screw around with but its not enough to pay $50 for a new game.

Pro's : Graphics, music, campaign is pretty fun, new vehicles, much less lag online, options to create new gametypes

Con's : If you have 4 people playing multiplayer the visible portion of the screen is tiny (I play on a 50" TV and it's terrible), new weapons suck, multiplayer levels are waaaaayyy too big, the storyline in campaign is the worst I've ever seen . . . almost makes me think the PAL version is incomplete.

Overall, I was only interested in this game coming out because of the multiplayer and it's really bad . . . honestly If I didn't have a modded box and I got a chance to play it before it came out, I probably wouldn't buy it, even though I found campaign pretty fun the first time through. The hardest setting is also rediculously hard now, which I liked.
