My view: Call me selfish but I've got Halo 3 on my hard drive and it's not coming off. My 360's a Halo edition I bought second hand from a local shop minus hard drive, so I bought a 120GB HDD. The original owner must have been a complete muppet from the condition of the component cable and I want the 'Haylite' to stay alive as long as possible. A session online last night didn't seem to present longer loading times and while the console's not down to PS3 levels of sound, it's definitely a big improvement. Even so, I'm glad I came to check this out because the in-game message comes across as being a bit tongue in cheek because of the bit about friends laughing at you. Make it serious please Bungie or it's just going to cause more confusion for people who wouldn't normally come here (this is my first post so yes, stupids like me). Unless Bungie present a fix this problem's here to stay because there's probably a high percentage of (casual) players that have never visited this site before and just as many who want a quieter Xbox. At the same time though, don't pin the blame on Bungie for the issue. it's their forward-thinking approach that was caught out by a system software feature that probably wasn't even being considered during Halo's development. Halo 3 to me has always been a must-have title for 360, a quick match on it made me want one and a game collection without it is incomplete. When all's said and done it's still the same game. To sum up: If you can fix it Bungie please do, if not then it's not exactly the end of the world is it?
