Ya, but I doubt anybody would actually be stupid enough to click on it. I mean, I'm on a mac right now anyways, so I'm not really worried at all, but it's pretty sad when you come across people like him.

And what's with the domain renewal and whatnot, who was it again that was possibly taking over?

God alone knows what we shall do with the site or whether it will just cease to exist very shortly as I have no idea when the payments for it's upkeep shall run out.

I'm seeing Ace tomorrow...I'll try to remember to bug him and find out what the heck his plans are for this site. Also to remind him about the spammers. But don't hold your breath anyone. :o)

This is a pretty persistent spammer who has changed names several times. I have also banned the IP and it still keeps rolling back.

If anyone spots this again then PM me and I shall do my utmost to get shot of it.

Needless to say, nobody should follow the link or get involved in a discussion or pointless exchange with said crawler.

Thanks for pointing it out. I too had such a PM.

Ok, so I got a PM from MannInBlackk today. He's obviously some forum creeper going around boards, registering simply to spread his virus through the art of the pm system to every naive member he comes across.

As you can judge from the image below, it's obviously a virus. So I just had a request for the admin here to ban this despiteful member to the highest degree possible (perma/ip):

Thank you.

General Gaming :: NEW! Halo: Reach Details!

Game Informer has published an article about Reach in their February issue, and a couple helpful people have put it online for you to see. Sorry it's too big to embed without altering the tables and all.

- Reach will NOT follow the book, Fall of Reach.
- We play as Spartan IIIs. Jorge is the only Spartan II on the team, and as a result is larger.
- Carter 259 and Kat 320 are the only members of their original squad.
- Jorge is a heavy weapons specialist.
- “Skully” now has a name, Emile 239. He’s the silent type of the game.
- The sniper is called Jun 266. He’s thoughtful and taciturn.
- We can customise the appearance of the Lone Wolf by a small degree. Awesome.
- The game is apparently darker than any of the other Halo games, even more so than ODST.
- Human Insurrectionists are possibly in the game
- Bungie have once again made the Covenant more dangerous and frightening, as they were in Halo 1.
- Covenant soldiers no longer speak English, they speak in their own languages.
- A new enemy like a Jackal has been introduced, named a “Skirmisher.” They are deadly and cunning enemies that attack in packs, and flank secure positions.
- Graphics have been improved drastically, as proven by in-magazine comparisons.
- Elites are back, and are more ferocious than ever.
- Larger scale combat will be in Reach. Where only 20 AI at a time could be on screen in Halo 3, now over 40 AI and 20 vehicles can be present at a time.
- Scenes are more cinematic.
- Noble Team splits up at a point in the story, but it seems they soon get back together.
- Health Bar is back along with energy shield.
- Single shot rifle like the Halo 2 E3 demo is in the game, named the Designated Marksman Rifle (DRM)
- Sniper, AR and Magnum make a return. Gun sounds are more realistic.
- Needler Rifle is in the game, a mid-range headshot capable weapon.
- Spike Grenades and Flame Grenades are out. Only frags and plasma remain.
- Helicopter Transport is called the Falcon.
- Civillian vehicles are now drivable.
- Fully stealthy gameplay is now possible.
- Assassinations are possible with a knife by holding down the melee button.
- Sprinting is now possible through an equipment like mechanic.
- Spirits, the Covenant drop ship in CE, return in Reach, alongside Phantoms.
- Grunts look a lot more menacing.
- Motion Tracker seems compressed, like an oval rather than the Halo 3 circle.
- Hud is yellow rather than blue.
- Marines look vaguely like Halo 1 marines.
- Phantoms now have a flashlight, like the one seen in the ODST announcement trailer.
- Elites seem taller, and are no longer hunched.
- All features from Halo 3 (Forge, Theatre, Co-op) make a comeback along with several new ones.
- We will be shown what Reach looks like before it is destroyed. We will see the levels of destruction progress as we get further through the game, implying the game takes place over a longish period of time.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the beta! Glad to see all the improvements!!

I try to log in here every once in a while. If not to see if anyone has posted; but also so I can tell Ace about it when I see him. Which usually any new postings are spam and when I tell him, he says, eh. He needs to put down the controller and do something else for a change!

You think it's bad now. Just wait until July when they actually get married! I can barely get a hold of the guy on the phone or via email as it is; let alone get him to log on to his site! Some people... ;o)

And since Jan 12th 2009 they've been locked in a loving embrace and forgotten about this website. Where's the justice in that?

One rather lonely Mod 'ere. I honestly rarely even need to mod here these days. Came back to find a few people I had to ban and some spam. That was about it really.

The Janitor.

I deleted some of my threads on here tonight as all of the links to images were broken and without them the posts simply made no sense. I've updated my photobucket account since posting images and thus I inadvertently messed up these posts (which I had forgotten about tbh).

So, I apologise, but it was a case of "move along now, nothing to see!"

Literally!
