Xbox DVD Game scratched/damaged with no money to buy cleaner. What would you do?

please read: I think my Xbox 360 game, Halo 3 is scratched/damaged-or it may be the DVD Drive.





I did this, in case it was my problem:





[QUOTE]Some players have reported issues with being able to load the maps after downloading the Autoupdate. This is an issue related to corrupted cache space on the Xbox 360. If you encounter this issue, where a map freezes at a certain percentage loaded, try restarting Halo 3 while holding down the “A” button and “Up” on the D-pad while the game is booting.


[/ENDQUOTE]





Whatever the above did, I could see the pictures of the levels I was about to play, and load the maps to play them. This is good.





After my first matchmaking game, the Xbox DVD/DVDdrive started making the repetitive "reading" sound again. Then, it was NOT working - like it did last night.





What should I try? Is turning the XBOX vertically ( | instead of _ ) a good thing to do? Is most (Kleenex) tissue good to clean a DVD with? It feels kind of silky (moisture-y) to me. Thx.

Reply:yeap he did at one time, but would never let her see him....he has issues..
Reply:No I think he's cursed to a life of matchmaking doomed to be alone forever that is why he puts ppl together who he knows will get divorced or kill eachother. He's pretty vindictive that fat little basta*d


8 is my lucky number by the way.
Reply:I don't think so he probably thought he was in love once but she stopped it so he was so heart broken he said he would never love again but help other find the right one and not get there heart broken.\

From what I've read he is a mythological god forever trapped in the body of a child or preteen. He can't experience erotic love himself so he helps others find it.

How come my xbox live for halo wont work?

all of a sudden whenever i get in a matchmaking game it just takes me out of it back to the lobby, and when i try to go to theater or custom games, my load time only goes to like 12 then takes me out of the game.





my game isn't scratched, i have xbox live new, and i have a really good connection. whats the problem?

How come my xbox live for halo wont work?

Halo 3 0 POPULATION!!!!?

For some reason when i go on matchmaking it sayd it cant connect to halo servers aND there is a population of 0 online. Whatr do i have to do? will power cycling work?

Halo 3 0 POPULATION!!!!?
dude are you remedial?
Reply:bad connection or xtremly low internet
Reply:No don't power cycle. I had the same problem. Go into your dashboard and look at your Reputation, or start a one on one chat with a friend. Eventually it will boot you. Once you get booted immediately open your dashboard again, and it will allow you to log into matchmaking and play. You won't have that problem anymore until you power cycle. Mine lasts for about 4-6 minutes usually, but I just go into my rep, check out my friends list, etc. It will freeze up, like its trying to open it, and then tell me I have disconnected. But I log in and play after that.
Reply:try reconnecting ur internet then if it still does it let it sit for a minute or 2 at the matchmaking lobby bc that usually works for me
Reply:Well there was a problem with the patch that kept kicking people out of games, it could be that.


Xbox Live question?

My friend has Xbox Live. I dont have an Xbox but i go to his house like every weekend and usually most days in the summer. If i create an Xbox Live account and he's already got Gold can I just get Silver and still play matchmaking online?

Xbox Live question?
no. silver is always freee but you need gold to play online. silver just gets you downloads and such, gold gets all of that plus online gaming. its a stupid system where microsoft gets money. and xboxlive aint what it use to be. i like it better on the original xbox.
Reply:no you need a gold account to play matchmaking.

Has anyone played the Crackdown Demo?

If you have played the Crackdown Demo from XBOX LIVE, how do you find a friend to play Co-Op with? I know that the real feature is disabled in the Demo, but is it possible to play with a friend through filters or matchmaking or anything?


Please help!

Has anyone played the Crackdown Demo?
Naw I think they mean offline co-op. Game's awesome though, your like spider man with a gun.
Reply:well what i did was i hosted a match with certain settings, and then i told my friend to find the match by plugging in those certain settings, and we got to play each other.


Is it possible to bridge in Halo 2 after the new update?

I hear people say they can bridge and i dont go into matchmaking without box host if there are bridgers.

Is it possible to bridge in Halo 2 after the new update?
Sadly you still can. Some one correct me if I'm wrong ,but from what I understand if you do, your console gets banned permanently. I'm not sure if it only bans moded consoles. I remember reading an article form Bungie saying that they are now using the ban hammer on people who stand-by, mod, hack, and bridge. So don't worry too much about having to have box host.


Should eHarmony cater to the gay community too, even though homosexuality is a sexually deviant liefestyle?

CHRISTIAN owned online matchmaking service eHarmony is being sued by a lesbian. She claims she couldn't find a lesbian mate online. Well, duh! eHarmony refuses to pander to the gay community and stick to matching heterosexual relationships only. I am so sick and tired of homosexuals shoving their lifestyle and their gay agenda down our throats.





http://www.reuters.com/article/wtMostRea...

Should eHarmony cater to the gay community too, even though homosexuality is a sexually deviant liefestyle?
It's there business and they can do as they like with it if they don't want to cater to homosexuals then they don't have to. It's so ridiculous that someone would rather sue then look for another dating service.
Reply:Ugh. I totally feel the same way about the heterosexuals shoving their "lifestyle" down my throat my entire life ... its all about non-stop divorces, illegitimate children, sexually molesting their own children, and on-and-on. I am so sick of the straight agenda.





Plus everyone knows that Christians for the most part are pretty hypocritical about everything under the sun. Eventually this superstition will die out like all other superstitions.
Reply:just someone wanting attention.i am sure there are many other places she could go to.she chose e-harmony to try and make a point.the point is the whole world isn't gay and the whole world should not be forced to accommodate them if their views are different,they also have rights.people tend to forget that while they pretend to be so d amn politically correct.its all about money and votes most people really do not accept it and are sick of hearing about it plain and simple!
Reply:Ok. Giving your opinion as fact is not helpful. The Gay community is a large economic force. Why don't you have facts instead of anger in beliefs. There is no agenda.
Reply:Excuse yourself. I don't hear many gays/lesbians bashing on heterosexuals. Sounds like you are trying to shove your agenda down their throats. And you're giving heterosexuals and christians everywhere a bad name.





That said, I thinnk eHarmony should be able to refuse gay ads if that's their choice.
Reply:I suppose eharmony can keep homosexuals out, I mean homosexuals form their own culture to keep bigoted, ignorant people out.
Reply:I have to disagree with the premise of your question and even find it offensive.


I do believe there should be some truth in advertising and maybe the company should be advertising for heterosexual relationships only. As it is, it does appear that anyone can find a partner using their system.
Reply:What makes you think that they aren't sick and tired of people like you calling their lifestyle "sexually deviant"?


Halo 3 xbox live easy question?

when in matchmaking and wim in the lobby with other players, i see some of them have a second emblem thing thats beside their gamertag its a gray type thing, kinda looks like half a sprocket. How do i get it?

Halo 3 xbox live easy question?
no thats not it. you need to link your gamertag to a bungie profile. After it's linked go to edit profile and at the bottom it will give you the option of the "gear".

On the 2 new Halo2 Maps will I have 2 bye them 3 times if I have 3 xboxs?
No, you will only have 2 pay for them 3 times if you have 3 different accounts. Otherwise just buy them once, sign in on another xbox, go to the download and click "download again for free"


I don't get respect from my fiance..........?

I would like a few opinions on what this means.......I am engaged and supposed to be getting married in July to a woman I have been w/for 4 years and fathered 2 wonderful children with. Recently I found an online conv. between my fiance and the babysitter in which the babysitter was trying to convince my fiance to go behind my back, leave me, take my kids and move in with her b'cus she wanted to leave her boyfriend and she said that I didn't treat my fiance right and that god had someone else for her in mind (thats right, now god does matchmaking!?!?) when I read this I quickly proceeded to fire the babysitter and give her a piece of my mind,basically my fiance took the babysitters side and sympathized w/her, and for all my trouble I was called an ******** and a bbastard by my fiance, I thought I was defending my family and my household, but apparently my fiance doesn't think so, I think she has no respect for me at all, what are your thoughts, anyone have a different pt. of view??

I don't get respect from my fiance..........?
"sympathized w/her" is the part I'm missing her, what exactly you mean by this is going to change alot what kind of opioin one can say. We don't have her response during the conversation. Did she encourge the babysister, if so something big is going on in your relationship. Was it just curiousity? What more is their about this babysister that made her feel that you were so bad for her? Were you? Its possiable maybe your an ahole and she was looking for a way out, could be she's a witch doing whatever she wants. Might just be your wife tring to develop some sort of relationship with someone and not being the brightest at picking friends... The real truth is proubly a long history with each other thats got all kinds of differnent issues coming together that you guys have neglect'd to resolve. And its nothing that little conversation can't fix. The god comment thou was real funny and hints to the fact that there was something terrible wrong with the darn babysitter anyways, and thats why your wifes sympathization brings a lot ???? to mind...

did you have any problems on downlading the maps?


When will the Halo 2 ranks be erased?

It has been exactly one week since the original date set my bungie to reset the ranks and circulate the two new maps into matchmaking. When will they finally take care of this

When will the Halo 2 ranks be erased?
They ended up pushing it back one week because supposedly a substantial amount of people were having trouble getting the maps. So expect ranks/new matchmaking some time this week.
Reply:The Bungie website makes it quite clear what is going on with the rank reset.





It should happen this week. When you log on and your rank is 1, you'll know they did it.

How many of you singles would use a dating service?

how many of you singles would use a dating service or matchmaking service to find a serious relationship- I am tired of bars, live in small town but have access to dating service- so what do you think

How many of you singles would use a dating service?
I tried it didnt have a whole lot of luck with love did meet a few new friends. becarful scary people on those sites sometimes.


Bars are never a good place to find someone anyway.
Reply:I have with decent luck. It beats meeting at a bar all the time and you can get the stats before you go out on a date
Reply:Give it a go. I met my wife through an internet dating site.


If you are female be prepared for loads and loads of replies. You need to be careful and take your time as often the men are already married and/or just looking for sex.


ALWAYS meet for the first time in a public place and ensure that someone knows exactly what you are doing and where you are going.


Genuine guys have to put up with being tarred with the same brush as the sex seekers but eventually you will get somewhere.


Both sexes should be as honest in their profile as possible as you WILL be found out eventually if you lie.


I met one woman for a date who claimed to be average build and turned out to be 260lb. The size did not bother me but the lies did.
Reply:I've tried it. There are some weirdos but some really great people too. Don't bother with it though unless you are serious about giving what comes along a try.
Reply:I'VE BEEN ON ALOT OF THOSE DATING SERVICE ON LINE AND ABOUT THE TIME I WAS GOING TO GIVE UP I FOUND MY TRUE LOVE, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A YEAR AND HALF, ALREADY HAVE OUR FIRST BABY TOGETHER, AND IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MARRIED, I WENT TO SEXSEARCH. I WOULD TRY IT, TALK TO THEM AND NEVER MEET THEM WITHOUT HAVING SOMEONE WITH YOU..

Me and hubby, an astrological fatal attraction?

I was at Barnes and Noble today looking at an astrology book on matchmaking. It said that my hubby and I would be a "fatal attraction". Is this bad?





my bd 1/13/74


his bd 6/6/72

Me and hubby, an astrological fatal attraction?
First, please understand I've been doing astrological charts for more than 25 years. Although one must use math to use astrology, astrology is not science. It is more like philosophy, psychology, or other disciplines that require a belief system. There are rules in astrology, but these rules are synergistic.





I'm sure you've heard stories of "bad" psychologists. They are out there. They take principles, perhaps over-simplify them, or over-generalize them, and fail to take into account 1.) all the elements of a person's character and most importantly, 2.) their own deficit of knowledge--that is, they are incapable of acknowledging what they do NOT know. Perhaps the worst trap for any discipline are the people who forget that what they do NOT know is always the most important factor in a given situation.





Blah, blah, blah, right?





OK, disclaimers in place, you've picked up a book written by someone who is promoting the over-simplified, over-generalized approach of astrology which is essentially nothing more than a parlor game. It sells books. People like simple things, even when simple is wrong.





The book you've browsed likely bases it's "reading" on the sun sign only, upon which it is entirely too simple to judge the success or failure of any relationship.





The simplest level of astrology upon which you can make a judgment would involve the sun sign, the ascendant, and the moon sign. Suddenly, instead of 144 options for matches of people (12 x 12), one has 2,985,984 options (12 x 12)(12 x 12)(12 x 12), but even working with these 3 elements, one has only a very limited perspective. Actually, because the ascendant can help one make guesses about house placement of the sun and moon, there are more than 3 million options. Anyways, I can make some meaningful remarks if I have just these 3 elements, but for me, without knowledge of the ascendant and 9 planets, it's fairly limited.





By providing the month, day, and year, you allow us to make good guesses about the sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as lunar nodes. One would need to have the time of birth and location to determine the moon and ascendant (and therefore house placement).





Looking at the data available from the info you've provided, I can tell you that there's a sextile between the 72 Venus and the 74 Mars and a trine between the 72 sun and the 74 Venus, both of which are very strong indicators of a successful relationship.





Just a cursory evaluation of the two charts doesn't scream "fatal attraction" to me. There is some friction, some opposition, but these qualities are necessary for a healthy relationship, necessary for one to grow and develop.





Be very careful looking to astrology for answers in your relationships. Typically, and unfortunately, people who claim to be astrologers are often only looking to tell someone what s/he wants to hear, or they are outright quacks. Some may be well-meaning quacks, but they are quacks, nevertheless.





Anyone or any astrological method that fails to take into account the real mathematical elements for all the basic planets is best avoided.





Never,ever place any stock in something that tells you something like "Cancer and Pisces get along great, but Cancer and Gemini just can't make it." Those types of generalizations are always the easy mark for scam/bs/parlor game.
Reply:No, but I feel sorry for your husband for marrying such a gullible person. Grow up.
Reply:You can't base your marriage on what the stars say...or horoscopes...Cosmo Magazine..etc. Apparently you love each other or would not have gotten married in the first place.
Reply:I use this one a lot. Still a favorite way to answer.





I got this from Eric Idle's (of Monty Python fame) book "Around the States in Eighty Days"


He wrote on day 51,





"It's my wife's birthday. I have now been with her more than half her life. Poor thing. She must be a saint. But a Scorpio. So watch it. According to that ridiculous bollocks called Astrology — a pseudo nonsensical science if ever there was one — Aries and Scorpios never get along. Well 26 years says crap. If people want to go on believing that the whole world is divided into twelve, based on astronomical observations that are two thousand years out of date, then that's up to them. The constellations are now no longer overhead in the same place as they are supposed to be and everyone knows the lowest peg on a newspaper and the first job they give to newcomers is writing the astrology column. Still people persist in believing in this nonsense despite all evidence, which shows mankind's urge to believe in something, no matter what, is very strong, and makes it easy for all those horrible men with bad hair in bad suits on TV to make their millions."





Since no one has control of the day they are born it makes astrology bigoted, akin to racism. There is no evidence that birth-date determines personality.





Astrology can and has been tested. It fails to do better than chance. Don't let a ancient, made-up, bigoted, and unproven concept be used against you. Believe in free thinking. Believe that you can take control of your own life.
Reply:I'm a Sagittarius and my hubby is a Pisces. Everything everywhere says that we are a bad match, even chinese zodiac! And we have had our fair of bad times that we have weathered but in the last couple of years, we have been closer than ever (been together 11 years now) I think if you put too much stock into it, anything can make it bad!
Reply:no, as much as I like reading Horoscopes, my science teacher, who also teaches astronomy and anatomy and phsyiology, says that signs really only affect you to the .000000000000000000000000000000000000000... and further
Reply:Not necessarily! My hubby %26amp; I match your sun signs, and we make the best of our differences. Capricorns love to listen, and Geminis love to talk, don't they?
Reply:Well, "fatal" means to die...and that don't sound good.
Reply:It looks like your only going by horoscopes. You should really study astrology. Just going by the persons sun sign alone is not very accurate try www.astro.com its free web site full of astrology info.
Reply:Yes - the makeup sex will be great - but you get tired of fighting.


What do you think about these facts about Muslim women in the U.S.?

Four Surprising Facts


Revealed in The Face Behind the Veil








* American Muslim Women Are Among the Most Diverse in


the World





American Muslim Women hail from 77 countries.


Indeed, most are not Arabs, but South Asians. Many are


African Americans tracing their ancestry to Muslim


slaves brought to America by the slave traders. A


growing number of Anglos and Hispanic women are


finding their spiritual home in Islam. Muslim women


are also diverse in how they practice their faith:


Many do not wear the hijab, for example.





* Muslim Women in America Are Not Downtrodden





Most Muslim women profiled in the book have


college educations and work outside the home. One


study shows that Muslim families have an average


household income of $75,000, making them among the


most affluent in America. For the most part, Muslim


women here are not the downtrodden who are seen on


nightly newscasts in Europe or Third World countries.


The women profiled in the book say Islam promotes


learning and that is why so many Muslim women are


educated. Even Muslim refugee women, denied an


education, are eager to learn once in America. And


they make sure their children have the education they


didn't have.





* America has influenced Islam -- and Muslim women.





America's Islam is not Europe's, South Asia's


or the Middle East's. Many American mosques have


become a gathering place, from hosting Brownie troops


to Weight Watchers. Many Christians who converted to


Islam, particularly African Americans, hold religious


classes and services on Sunday, even though they still


go to Islam's traditional Friday prayers. America's


influence is also why there is such a fight for equal


treatment in the mosques here. While some women, such


as in Pakistan and other South Asia countries are used


to not going to religious services, American women


aren't. They want the same facilities, the same


treatment in the mosque as men receive.





* Technology has helped spread Islam across America





American Muslims have used the Internet to


strengthen their faith. Muslim women can now buy


whatever hijab or gowns they want on the Internet. Or


they can chat online why they chose not to wear any


sort of scarf. They can find a mate on a matchmaking


website. They can study the Quran on the web or join


Muslim groups. Although they may be the only Muslim


family in Smallville, they are only a click away from


finding other Muslims like themselves throughout the


United States.

What do you think about these facts about Muslim women in the U.S.?
Islam is growing and spreading , this is fantastic. it seems the more the media demonizes Islam, the more people convert to Islam. western media in their bid to cast Islam in a bad light, has had the reverse effect.
Reply:I have found the net to be of invaluable help in my life as a Muslim. It was a great source of knowledge and support since there are no Muslims where I live.





As for clothing, I wear western clothing still but it is modest by any Muslim standards. I love the shalmar kameez. I love the swish of a long skirt, and the comfort of the scarf. The net has been a great source of clothing. Quality gypsy clothing and good business wear that fit the Muslim standards are hard to find but on the net there are many options.





So i would say you are pretty right on in your assessment. I am Canadian and reverted just over a year ago now. But remember, sister, you speak of American Sisters. It is not so good for our sisters in the Middle East. In some countries they have a good deal of freedom. Here I think of Turkey and Iran and Lebanon and Jordan and Egypt and India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Women do quite well there on the whole.


But there are always exceptions.

Reply:Hear Hear! finally something that describes Muslim women as strong human being and not suppressed barely human hysterical females who have nothing better to do then say yes master no master to her husband.....


I agree, Islamic women are changing a lot and very fast which is good.
Reply:What is your point? Yes the U.S. is a great place to live and better for women than the middle east. Reason? Because no one religion is the religion of our country. Because Sharia law is not our law!! We have freedom here. When I think of Muslim, it is not the American Muslims that I think of. It is the macho sexist violent ones in the Middle East.
Reply:good stuff. too many Americans proudly wrap themselves in their own ignorance. They do a disservice to themselves, their country and fellow Americans they dishonestly cast in a negative light.





The culture of ignorance in this country is frightening.
Reply:Thank you for sharing this I enjoy hearing how strong Muslim women are trying to make a difference.
Reply:Ignore the ignorance bigots above.





I am proud to know that Muslim women around the world actually are faring better....





By Allah grace....
Reply:It means that American Muslims have learned to live with religious freedom and respect secular laws.





Now if you could only get the radical 10% of Islam to feel the same way, and not approve of suicide bombers as martyrs, desire the destruction of Western civilization, or burn flags over the Danish cartoons.
Reply:uh and the point of this is?





Care? What about successful scientologists like Tom Cruise? Any progress a person makes is based on religion? I would say any progress is made despite religion.
Reply:I second Atheists motion.





Beside. I made an attempt to try and understand your claims by asking what should I wear to stand in at the Mosque tomorrow, and no one answered. So, it proves my point. I tried.


Now, I will just continue to do as I have always... read your koran and hadith and take it for face value as it says what it says. Every other page is about killing. Seriously. And 4:34...don't even get me started.

Tamagotchi users:question; How long does it take for you Tama to meet the matchmaker?

Well, yeah, I still don't get it. Mine is 19, gonna be 20 tomorrow and I still haven't found anybody to connect enough with, and I don't know if I missed the mail with her or not or if she suddenly appears. Most of the time I'm at school, I keep it in my pocket, 'stead of my locker, cuz each period is about an hour long. So when does she come???!!! I have no clue when she does, probably because I'm a new Tama owner with a V4 with just a 1st generation. I need expert advice. And when she finally does, how does the matchmaking process go? Am I stupid to now know what to do with this, regarding the fact that Tamagotchis are kind of old, starting in 1996?

Tamagotchi users:question; How long does it take for you Tama to meet the matchmaker?
The matchmaker comes at the adult stage. She doesn't come all the time, so your tamagotchi might die of old age. When she does come, the process is simple. Your tamagotchi will be paired with another one. You cna either choose "yes" or "no". If you choose "yes" the screen will go black, fireworks will start, and your tamagotchi will have a brand new baby for it to raise. Only for 24 hours, though. After that s/he leaves and YOU have to raise the baby.
Reply:I don't know either.I am a new tamagotchi owner also.
Reply:Well my daughter has one and usually the matchmaker comes around 8 years old. You may have missed it. You may be able to get more info at tamatown.com that is where she goes to play games and stuff with it.
Reply:Ok, Since its that old, maybe you need more skills points. It should of come when it was 8 or 9. mine did


You go to the heart icon and then to work


you play the games and get more points for skills


Hope this helps


if you have any more questions i will be GLAD to help


-sarah
Reply:You are not stupid. I have one too. The Matchmaker came when mine was 10. It depend how often you connect. The matchmaker


thinks"oh, he's connecting alot, he really must wants a partner!"


When he appears he holding a book. press any button. A patner will come and you will be asked to love or not love this tamagotchi


if you say love you will get a baby.

The "gear" as you called it, is really the 7th Column logo. It signifies that the player has signed up and is registered on Bungie.net.





If you would like the logo as well simply visit Bungie.net and sign in your profile linking it with your gamertag. Then on the edit profile page, scroll down to where it says "make Halo 3 icon appear" or something along those lines.





It's the same process as Halo 2. Remember when people had Bungie.net on there gamertag. Same thing different logo.
Reply:It means that they registered to have their stats tracked. They apparently have more time to waste then you and I.


Help with Halo 3 on xbox live!!?

I am visiting my cousin in ohio and i live in indiana. i brought my xbox so we could play halo 3 because she doesnt have a xbox, but she does have wireless internet. when we went to start playing it connected to xbox live, but when we went to start matchmaking, it couldnt find any players! another one of my friends had the same problem when he went to a relatives. help!

Help with Halo 3 on xbox live!!?
These past two weeks, Xbox Live has been going through some weird technical problems. This same thing happened to me twice last week, and last night. Just wait it out, and give the Live Server sometime to reboot and stuff. I waited for about a day, and then everything was fine.
Reply:try resetting everything. try different option to find players like fastest connection. whats your gamer tag?
Reply:it maybe the Microsoft Internet servers, my halo 3 really ***** up sometimes it is because of the microsoft servers, these past few days it has been laggy in big team battle search, also mic voices are echoing.
Reply:i think it's because it should be registtered at a certain place like you went to ohio whenyou bought in in indiana so that could have something to do with it
Reply:Um...I guess try to turn off the 360 and router for about 30 seconds. PLug everything back in and maybe that'll do the trick?!?!?! :D


Should I do this?!?

Next week at my school they are going to have this "matchmaking" test thing. You take some sort of test and they match you up with the person you're most compatable with just in time for Valentine's Day.


I'm pretty shy so..this might help..


I do like this guy alot though..but I always clam up when I see him..I'm working on that part =]





But..just because they match us up doesn't mean we have to go out or anyhting, some people do I guess, and others just do this for fun.





What do you think I should do?

Should I do this?!?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. GO FOR IT.

Halo 3 - search for online co-op game?

I just got Halo 3, pretty awesome game. However, I can't figure out how to search for a co-op online game. Is this feature even possible?





I found the matchmaking and stuff but to me it seems the online co-op is restricted to friends only or invites. I couldn't find or figure out how to join an online co-op game. If it exists, can someone explain how to do it?





Thanks!

Halo 3 - search for online co-op game?
yep, make some friends online multiplayer, and then invite one or more to the campaign.

Do your research on the guy (i.e, his likes/dislikes), so you can put the same interest down on your survey, so you can be matched with him.





Good luck!
Reply:Oh waaaatt we're having the same exact thing at my school


and suposably theyre spending money on it.


but anyways just make try to get to know him better.


good luck!


What do you think about Match.com and other online dating services?

Ordinarily I despise/fear online matchmaking but 2 of my close friends have met really great people from it. One of them is actually getting married after dating the guy for 4 years. My friends told me to try, but I still have my doubts. I think I might be better off just meeting people in person. What do you all think?

What do you think about Match.com and other online dating services?
I say try it for a while. Keep yourself open to all possibilities. I did the online thing. I didn't like it. I have three friends who met their love online. Now they are married. I can't stand it!!! But they aren't like me. I flirt and date differently. I have been meeting great people doing it my own way. Take an interesting class. At least you know you have the same interests and he/she has a brain! I'm a shy person and the only way I could break out of it was to put myself out there and not have the security of being anonymous through a computer. Now I have more confidence, my social skills have improved and I've been meeting great guys and friends. I say do what feels comfortable, not what the masses do. Their way is not the only way. The online stuff is always a last resort for me. I prefer to get some sun and look for a cutie. Have fun and good luck!!!
Reply:i think your right. you should just meet people in person. i don't like those match bla...bla..blas...... i don't get how people can fall in love on line. but every ones different. right? good luck to your friends and to you.

I MET MY HUSBAND ON THE CHAT LINE.
Reply:They aren't realistic. An example, I once talked with a girl through a dating site a lot. Every single email we wrote each other was pages long, deep and meangingful, and fun. When we finally met in person, I tried to make conversation, she didn't communicate at all. The date was terrible. Basically, online dating doesn't capture the important things that happen in real life dating, like the human interaction part of it. There has to be a certain chemistry in the air, you can't get that with online dating through the net.





You won't be spending you life talking through email, you'll be spending it looking at each other eye to eye, communicating in person, not behind a keyboard and screen. In real life, once you meet someone, you know right then and there most of the time if it's possible for this to work. Online, it's all a guessing game until you actually meet in person and really talk.





Some people get very lucky with it.
Reply:I love the people you meet at art shows. It requires the art lovers to percieve others and understand the expressions. Of course, you will find shallow showy people but you will also find the deep thoughtful ones and they usually are gentle people or quite amusing. Look for art show openings on a friday nite. You can always go out to coffee or dancing to discuss what you have seen and you can go alone or with a group. You can dress up or just be different. Have fun. These are real live people and they can't fake stuff as easily.
Reply:they're bullshit
Reply:Personally, I would rather meet someone in person. Those dating sites are good, but most people don't talk about their flaws on there, just their good qualities (which, by the way, are the qualities they think they have)... profiles on those sites are biased towards the person, so I don't know how accurate they are. Anyway, there are a lot of people who find people they eventually marry online, but we don't know how long these marriages last. Online dating is so new, that we don't know how short or long lived these relationships end up being. It's a lot different talking to someone online and seeing them a few times a month than living with them and seeing them every day.
Reply:I thought like you until... Yes about 3 years ago I went on-line and felt like the biggest loser ever. On there I chatted with some winners and lots of losers. The users you could spot almost immediately but still had to be careful. Then I began chatting with a beautiful artist who lived about 2.5 hours from me. We met for a coffee and a talk a little while later and we (like your friend) are getting married next May 20. We met on Findsomeone.com, which at the time was free but I believe there is a charge for this service now. Good luck to you, and what do you have to lose by giving it a shot. It's not like people you'll be chatting with will ever know who you are, unless you decide to meet any of them. Best of luck again.
Reply:Well, you can try it but you have to be honest. Then that way you'll find someone who is compatible with you. After that, you will meet and then you'll see if you truly click. It won't hurt you to just give it a try...
Reply:i think it doesn't matter


where u find your true love


as long as u find the right guy.


you should b happy!
Reply:I think that some can be bad sites. However there are good dating sites. I met my current boyfriend on a dating site. We talked for awhile, then decided to meet. We hit it off the first night. We have been seeing each other since. He is an awesome man, knows what he wants out of life but most of all he treats me great:).
Reply:A little dangerous. People often only tell you what they want you to know.....





Also, don't look in a bar or nightclub for a mate...unless you want an alcoholic for a spouse!





Get involved in worthy causes that are important to you and you will find worthy people with like interests.

What should I do?

I love this guy, my colleague, who is like 26 year old and I am 20. I met him at a job attactment assigned by the sch. I dun know since when I started liking him. Initally we went for some movies, we even took a photo sticker together and he hug my waist and shoulder. However,he is a foreigner who haven't had a PR in my country. Somemore when I asked him whether he liked me after some dates, he said he dun know so this means what? In order not to get hurt, I choose to give up and tell him let me friends. When I said that, on one of the dates after I told him let's be friends, he held my hand on one of the dates. However I cleverly avoided him. But I think he still know.After sometime he started to leesen contacting me.


But when he jokingly said that he is going back to his country for matchmaking and marriage. I felt pain and sad. I know now he doesn't like me like that time. And this make me realsied how important is him in my heart. All along I just run away, so wat should i do?

What should I do?
You are still young. Learn to give up this relationship and carry on with your life. When you start to work you will find there are a lot more better guys in the society.I think this relationship is not fruitful and if you insist on carrying on with it, you may regret it later. In Chinese there is always such a saying "Loving someone is painful and being love is happiness" . The reationale is that when you love someone and he does not appreciate your love can be very painful. Only you know the painful yourself.


Carry on with your life. I believe you can find someone better in your life who cherish you more than himself.
Reply:Move on with your life.
Reply:Stay away. This relationship is not going any where and you would be better to move on. To much time spent with someone that you love and does not love you back hurts and you can avoid the hurt by staying away and finding someone else. You will be fine and the pain will get less when you find someone else.
Reply:The man is very immature. There are things about him that you do not know. Pass on this one quickly and don't tarry.

Made an account and used a legit 48 trial but can't play halo?

wtf? lol. I dont wanna mess my account up I made this to play with my nooby friends. Only answer if you know why I cant join matchmaking.

Made an account and used a legit 48 trial but can't play halo?
If you are taking about Halo 3. I did the same thing ( Made a 48 Hour Trial) and it didn't let me in to MatchMaking. Its just a Glitch in Bungie's system they should fix it if enough people complain.


Halo 3 question. Why does the game only let me play the same 3 maps on multiplayer?

for some reason when i join matchmaking it never gives me alot of the maps. ( for instiance the sand stage) ive beat it alone on heroic so they should be open for multi player games. any help?

Halo 3 question. Why does the game only let me play the same 3 maps on multiplayer?
Different playlists have different maps that are played. Try different playlists by selecting 'switch playlist'
Reply:Depending on what type of playlist you choose, they should only be limited to certain maps.





Like the sand stage is only playable when you choose the Big Team Battle playlist.

What are men so intimidated by strong, independent, and confidant women?

I don't get these guys who go on and on about confidence and independence being so attractive in a woman, but then the second they realize I am one of those woman, they hit the floor running.





Why wouldn't a man want to be with a woman who doesn't spend all his money? Are they really happier with needy, whiney, emotionally underdeveloped women who are totally incapable of taking care of them selves? Is it some kind of male "provider" instinct?





Don’t get me wrong, I’m no butch, man-hating, chick; my one truest dream is to be a wife and stay at home mother some day. But that doesn’t mean I have to be a helpless “little woman”, that I have to give up who I am or everything I have worked for?





MEN AND WOMEN please give me your opinions. I’m loosing hope. I'm going to end up like one of those cat ladies, arguing with Binkers because he got paw prints on the rug and taking Chico to a kitty matchmaking service. (I don’t actually have those cats, but you get the point.)

What are men so intimidated by strong, independent, and confidant women?
I don't think they are intimidated. Some men need to have the power. Some men need to be the provider. I'm strong and independent also very confidant in myself. I have a boyfriend that loves me. He is not intimidated but he does respect me.





Try to take it down a notch. Don't change who you are but work with what you have. Men do love a confidant women. The right guy will come along you just have to wait.
Reply:The main reason for them acting that way is because when they look at them self in the mirror, they do not like what they see or the size of it. In reality we are suppose by society standards to be the one standing behind the man but without taking the sun away from him. I tell you what doe, there are a lot of man out there that will kill for a woman like us and be content with the fact that at one point in time if they wish it, they can be Mr my woman man. Been independent is all about power, and it is also the one thing that men most want. Lets face it,,,,,,,we will have to continue been who we are, not expecting a recognition for it, but to just be plain happy about it. In my case I am and will always be in control of what I want and nothing less. By the way I have 7 cats,,,,,,very happy cats, and a toy.lololololol
Reply:First off, I am a woman without a job and I am completely dependent upon my spouse for everything. Does that make me a "whiny" "little woman" am I emotionally underdeveloped and needy?? No, I am a mother-





Guys have to feel needed and why would a guy who wants to feel needed want to be with a woman who is totally independent and write stuff like this?? It is a "provider" instinct. That's what a large percent of men want to be is the provider.





There are a lot of relationships where the tables are turned, but that's what works for them. You will find a guy who will be able to love and handle everything you are and have to offer...just be patient...





Kinda like that song..."Looking for love in all the wrong places..."





What I am getting at is to be patient....there is definitely someone who wants you...whats meant to be will be and it will happen when its time. You will see.
Reply:I don't know who you're meeting. Most men I know want a woman who makes more money than they do!
Reply:I think it's because they need to feel like they are in control. Don't change for them though. Just adopt a cat and you'll be happy. lol!! :) Good luck!!
Reply:there's nothing wrong with having a kitty:) That's bs.


Just don't ACT "cat lady"-like.





Look, you can bee a strong, independent, confident woman. Guys do like that. They like (from my experience) to know they're not the center of your universe and you can do without them, when they need their "man time." They also like their woman pretty, educated and looking good when she's introduced to his family (able to carry conversation, sound intelligent, shine).





So imo, that's not the issue. The issue is how you choose to display this confidence and independence. Do you compromise? Do you LISTEN to HIS needs/ Do you really? Are you letting a guy become close to you, become your friend? Are you confy with looking like a fool from time to time..I think it's very hard for a guy to see a girl that's ALWAYS trying to be perfect and control every situation. I thnk they're not afraid of independence and confidence..they're afraid of someone who just can't have fun, let loose, relax, play, be sassy, just be human....They like to know their partner is very human and warm, not emotional or clingy. Just warm and close.





my thoughts..
Reply:I love strong, independent women, and I find those qualities very attractive in a woman.
Reply:You will be ok.......you just need to find a man who values YOU. Some of the men you speak of....feel this way because maybe that is what they are uist to. Also some men may feel "traditional" about a relationship. Most women now days seek more for themselves and their lives. Find someone who respects who and what you stand for.....ohhh and stay away from the cats!


Merry Christmas!


Halo 3 sword duels?

whenever i get into a sword duel in halo 3 online matchmaking, i usually come out the loser. is there any trick like maybe i should melee instead of lunging or something?

Halo 3 sword duels?
Theres many tricks to it. I am a sword master online. A lot of general tactics, is to walk backwards as they run at you, once your aimer is red, jump and lunge, it usually catches them off guard. Another is when you both clash together when you both lunge and parry *you both lose half health* you have two options that help a lot. You can either:


A.) side step and swing *I don't know why, but they usually don't see it comming*


B.) press B, it seems like you react faster that way.
Reply:You have to make sure that the riticle is red when you attack, this will cause the most damage if not kill your opponent.
Reply:What I do allot is to press the - B - button instead after you clash sword with an opponent online.

Halo 3 Heroic map pack??

I read that on dec 11th the halo 3 map pack will be on xbox marketplace. Im not familiar with downloading maps for halo...what i did read was that halo 2 maps were brought in and it divided the online players into 2 sections...1 group who had the maps and 2 the people without...My questions are, with this map pack coming out will i have to download it to make it a playable map in matchmaking?? Will these maps only be in custom? If i but the pack and my friend doesnt, can he play them with me?? How does this work? PLEASE BE DETAILED!! THANX!!

Halo 3 Heroic map pack??
There is 3 maps in the Heroic Map Pack. Standoff, Rat Trap, and Foundry. They are available for purchase for 800 Microsoft Points. However in the spring season they will be free. As of this moment if you have purchased the maps you are able to play them in matchmaking play lists. In fact Bungie has even made a New category that only plays those 3 maps for users to test them out. This is probably temporary however.





On a side note, you will not be able to play those maps in matchmaking if you did not download them. You will usually receive an error before the match telling you that you do not have the map required to play.





So basically you need to by the map pack to play the maps. There is no way around it, unless you wait until the spring.





I personally am very pleased with the maps, they are very interesting and loads of fun!





Hope this answers your question. Good luck.
Reply:yes you will need to download it (and your friend too) to play it because since your 360 doesn't have the data of the new maps on its hard drive, it won't be able to recognize the new maps onto your xbox for matchmaking or custom unless you download it, and i'm pretty sure it will be on custom and matchmaking just like the other maps not sure on that thing tho

My halo 3 disc won't load campaign missions?

My halo 3 disc lets me play in matchmaking slayer and everything but it wont load missions in campaign and it will say disc read error as i finish the first level and the only one that loads. what can i do to repair that or how can i make it work?

My halo 3 disc won't load campaign missions?
i had that problem. there were some technical difficulties in some of the halo 3's so i had to go back to the store i bought it from and replace it (for free).
Reply:Maybe laser intensity was too strong for this disc. I increase resistance from 3.4k to 4.1k . It work fine . No dirty disc issue, just dvd reader (I think!) If too much resistance , above 4.7k it can not read any other game at all . Hope it help. Report It

Reply:hmmm get a disc cleaner. and if that doesnt work take it to a eb games or local game store and explain to problem to them. if they cant fix it take the game back and get a new one.IF THAT doesnt work and it still does it with a new disc then its maybe your hard drive being weird.you could call microsoft and complain and see if you can get yourself a new 360. hey worth a shot!
Reply:try one of those cd cleaner kits, check for cuts or marks, the inner part of the disk is for loading, if you have a cut it may be in a specific part that loads the campaign

Xbox 360 moderate nat?

well i enjoy playing halo 3 and very often it says my nat is moderate but when i first got my xbox and router it was great





i have a linksys router and it says its model is wrt54g and my computer has windows xp on it





when i play on matchmaking it says something about nat not being open and it can effect the game and alot it just lags so bad like it says spawning in 5 seconds for a long time or my enemies just walk in a strait line doing nothing, and in gears of war its just awful trying to play if im not the host





so if anyone can help me with simple terms on how to fix this i would really appreciate it

Xbox 360 moderate nat?
Check your router settings..





On the Administration %26gt; Management screen at the bottom is UPnP.. Set that to Enabled.. click Save Settings.. and you should be good to go..





UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) lets your Xbox 360 open the ports it needs through your firewall.. it will bump you to Open NAT..





The Administration %26gt; Management screen is described on pages 17 %26amp; 18 of the manual.. (link below for the WRT54G manual.. it takes a long time to load..)





Good luck..

He's not religious so how come he wants to save himself until wedding night? We just met over the matchmaking site. He lives in a small town and is looking for a wife.

I'd love to do devirginize a guy in his mid, late twenties/thirties! What a turn-on and I bet the sex would be hot, he is probably hungering for it like a wild tiger! You should give him a chance and praise that he's waited for the right woman, that's a rarity nowadays.
Reply:Perhaps he just hasn't met the right kind of girl. Why do you think a guy HAS to lose his virginity in his teens or 20's? You are extremely shallow for rejecting him because he's a virgin. You should be happy instead. I suggest you let him go because obviously he still hasn't found a nice girl.
Reply:YOU LOST INTERST IN A MAN FOR WHAT REASON. AND YOU


ARE HERE FOR WHAT REASON. SOUND LIKE HE SOMEONE'


THAT A GOOD CHECK. AND FOR WHAT EVERY HIS REASON


ARE YOU SHOULD RESPECT THAT. IF THE SHOE WAS ON


THE OTHER FOOT . YOU WOULD WANT THE SAME. SOUND


LIKE YOU THE ONE THAT HAVE A ISSUES.
Reply:wow! why would you lose interest in a man who wants to give that one special thing to the one woman he wants to be with the rest of his life?! here are a few good reasons NOT to lose interest: 1. no possible std's. 2. no AIDS risk. 3. no million baby mama's. 4. you get to teach him how to please you exactly as you like to be pleased. 5. he is obviously a sweet, kind hearted man who sees more in a woman other than what position he can get her in within the first 3 dates.





wow...those are some good reasons
Reply:you are totally nuts..i see nothing wrong with any person being a virgin and waiting til their wedding night..i think that is the most romantic and sweet thing..what makes it so terrible for you to lose interest? just because he isnt experienced? unfortunately, thats pretty shallow minded of you..you should base a relationship on love, not sex..
Reply:why didnt u ask him why he was still a virgin? and newayz m sure there r gals out there who whud appreciate his efforts....
Reply:Well, some people choose to not get intimate with someone he truly doesn't love and this man may just be the type of person. It doesn't matter if it's a female or a male, not choosing to do such a close, personal act with someone else is a choice everyone has. Maybe he hasn't found anyone that's worth doing that yet and maybe he found it in you. Give him a chance and look at him for who he is inside without the gorgeous face and not for what he has done or not done yet.
Reply:Perhaps because he has morals, and wants to live up to them?





Why would this bither you? True love can always wait.
Reply:small town people are different, doesn't make them worse or better they are just different. its a good thing hes still a virgin at least you know you wont catch anything from him. you shouldn't discard him on that alone, just cause he hasn't done it doesn't mean he wont be good at it. specially if you think you can marry this guy just think you can teach him exactly how you like it.
Reply:I think him being a virgin is admirable. Especially in this day and age. Would you find him more interesting if he slept with every girl he sees and had no morals at all? You should ask yourself what the problem really is for you.
Reply:Maybe he is wise.





What else is "wrong" with him?
Reply:I can kind of understand why you lost interest but try to look at the sincerity in it and all the unnecessary drama that will be avoided by him saving himself. If you stay you could very well be his first love. And with that comes dedication, honor, and loyalty. Girl, grab him and keep him before someone else does. He is inexperienced...you can shape him and mold hit to better suit you. Look at it that way and use that to fall in love.
Reply:i just dont understand y u sed lose interest in him over such a small thing??? atleast he is honest and thats a rare quality in otday's world. u americans worry over such superficial things! get a life, look at the person within!


How do i log in to my linksys router?

after i put in 192.168.1.1 it asks for username and password and i dont have any kind of password for my router plz help. I want to switch my NAT to open so I can join friends on Halo 3, instead of having moderate and matchmaking being slow

How do i log in to my linksys router?
you have to hold the pin down for at least 30 seconds to clear all the old settings out the reset the password and your good to go
Reply:You need to consult the online documentation for your specific router. By default, Linksys uses "admin" for the username with a blank password (or "admin" for password)
Reply:On older LinkSys routers, the default username is blank and the default password is "admin." On newer Linksys routers, both the default username and the default password are set to "admin."

Halo 3 help please!!!?

when i go into matchmaking it says "information could not be retrieved from halo3 server" ive been waiting for a while now and it has not retrieved anything yet!! i already restarted the xbox, rejected the cd, waited for an hour, but none of that has worked, and i see people playing halo 3 online so, could somebody please tell me what to do! or what the heck is happening lol thank you :)

Halo 3 help please!!!?
Mine does this everytime I get online. All I do is press the guide button, then press X and sign out. I wait maybe 30 seconds to a minute and sign back in. Then I don't have any problems.
Reply:mine does this every once in a while, so i just switch lobbys til it starts working, but i never have to wait more than 5 min
Reply:maybe thres a problem wit yr xbox live
Reply:Call you isp. or router company and they will tellyou how to change your settings to be able to get your NAT open. thats your problem. it happened to me and i called linksys.
Reply:there is something in your setting you got to change, when your in your dashboard, and you are trying to configure your network, look at the very last thing (i forget what its called) but that is what you need to change.
Reply:try playing campain or some thing first or do king of the hill on macthmaking
Reply:Your nat is too strict. Test your xbox live connection. then the last thing on the list is your NAT. when it is done testing go to change its settings and make it less strict. Then go out and win!


Why does my xbox 360 live keep disconnecting during Halo 2?

For some reason my Xbox live will drop me from matchmaking in Halo 2 for no reason. It will disconnect me from Xbox live and I will have to restart my machine to get it back. It is really odd.





I have tried doing all kinds of things with the network including putting my IP (from the xbox 360) in the DMZ of the network as well as resetting IP's etc.

How to find a soulmate?

I have a very attractive and talented friend in her mid 50s, whom I would like to help with a bit of matchmaking.... Unfortunately friends I could introduce, are not the kind she would be interested in. A writer or academic type would be ideal for her. Where, could she meet such a match, any ideas? Websites, publications, etc...

How to find a soulmate?
there is no such thing as a soulmate , the term souldmate is something we use to say as an excuse of why something doesnt work , any relationship works with the right chemistry , and simalar bacgrounds , and idea's for a future together.

How to become a halo player.?

I never like it before, but since i got no games to play with i decided to pick it up and is not bad at all.





Can you guys share a little tips for being better online?





Most of the time i feel like just running around and whoever shoots first wins.





Oh, and im kinda confuse on which lobby i should play, care to explain a little?





Most of the time i pick matchmaking and play one game and people always leave after. can i find something to stick with?

How to become a halo player.?
A couple quick tips..





Playing in Ranked matches will place you with other players at a similar skill level.. Sometimes in Social matches you end up with players with much more experience than you have.. However, in the ranked matches you may not be able to stay together after the match..





To start playing with the same people send friend invites to people you have played with.. then watch for the arrows next to their gamertag in your friends list to join them in future games..





Keep moving.. if you stay in one place too long.. especially if you shot at someone from there you will have people coming for you.. until you know the maps better, pick a simple route where you can run in a loop and control a small area.. as you learn the maps better you can expand your patrol area and mix things up a bit..





Whenever you are being shot at JUMP.. it might make them start missing and it gives you a second to figure out where it's coming from..





Use grenades.. as soon as you see someone throw a grenade at them before you start shooting.. it might make the difference..





If people get close use the Melee attack to beat them down.. and if you are behind them use Melee because you will kill them in one hit without them getting a chance to fight back..





Watch your radar (in the lower left corner) it lets you know when people are sneaking up behind you.. radar only tracks players in motion though so if they are standing still you won't see them..





On the team games use a headset and ask questions.. try to coordinate with the other players.. a team working together is hard to beat..





Learn the maps.. use the Theater to revisit games you have played to see where everything is.. you can even view the game through another player so you if you encounter someone really good replay the game and see how they play..
Reply:First of all you should play the campain. The first time on Easy then on normal then on heroic and then on legendary. You'll be a lot better after that. Or you can go on Xbox com. look to the calendar and see when ist the next "beginners evening" for Shooter-games (Halo, Bioshock, CoD, Splinter Cell,...)
Reply:Practice
Reply:first of all its not just running around and shootin everyone you see (except slayer). but you should do campaign and that would get you better. play campaign on all levels. start with easy - normal - heroic- then legendary. if your good at legendary your good at multiplayer. like me i beat legendary on halo 2 dying only 7 times. I KICK *** IN MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!
Reply:Really, up close and personal is your best friend. Close range combat is really the majority of kills and deaths in any given game (except Shotty Sniper matches) but even in those games, I like to take the fight to close range. Melee is your friend... Shoot like, just a small amount into your enemy, then smack them with melee and they're down, it doesn't take much.


According to my career stats on Bungie.net, out of like the 1200 kills I have so far, the highest # of them are a result of melee...ALSO, out of all my deaths, the highest # of them are a result of being melee-ed down as well.
Reply:Omg yer exact same feeling! I HATED halo soo much and i just bought a 360 for the sole purpose to play it online. It can be whoever shoots first wins but if you get a few tactics like sniping or taking vantage points and picking of a few people, that will make your game feel a lot more bette than if you just ran around like a chicken firing at anyone. I recommend completing the game on each level then you will get what i mean!


Need someone help to get catch skull on halo 3?

I'm online after 5:30 PM normally. I'm always on around midnight.
Reply:LOL!!!





About the glitch that you mentioned, you need to complete the game on Normal or higher difficulties. If Normal won't work, try Heroic.





The glitch of the Catch skull is really common and is no bigger deal. Just try playing and complete the campaign using higher difficulty......


How to get Open Nat?

I have a D-link router, and it's hooked up directly to my xbox...when i try and invite friends to play it says sorry you have restricted NAT, how do i change it to open NAT...when i play on matchmaking it's fine, it's just very slow...the problem is when i invite friends





I've tried many things, but i need specifically where to go...so if someone can tell me super specifically what i can do to change from strict to open thatd be great

How to get Open Nat?
Declare the IP address of the Xbox 360 to be a dmz. Or if you don't want to open so much then forwarding just these ports to the Xbox should do the trick.


UDP 53


UDP 88


UDP 3330


UDP 3074


TCP 3074
Reply:Hi!





I don't have neither xbox nor d-link routers, but the easiest way to open your xbox is to place it into DMZ zone. I know it may be not enough information, sorry.
Reply:Sounds like you got Halo 3 eh?


add me my gamertags Will M274





And a explanation should be here:

Hope this helps!


XBOX LIVE HALO 3 error message?

I keep on getting this error message "Information coulod not be retreived form tthe Halo3 server. IT makes me unable to start matchmaking-can anyone tell me the problem and how to fix it? Just e-mail me or tell it here. (tinakhal@yahoo.com)

XBOX LIVE HALO 3 error message?
I've seen this happen a couple times. Try exiting and reentering the matchmaking lobby. That usually clears it up for me!
Reply:It's probably something wrong with your connection, check and see if your connected properly.





I do know that when you join matchmaking with certain people that have different internet connections such as (wireless, ethernet or different speeds or providers) it can make a lot of problems connecting to certain networks.





Unfortunately thats something you can't really help.

Computer Internet Disconnects when going on Xbox live!!!!?

Whenever i go on Halo 2 on xbox live and get in a matchmaking game i get disconnected from my computers internet. I dont know why this is happening.... please help

I'm guessing that the there having an IP conflict.Happens allot to XP computers.So you might want to configure the IP of either your Xbox or PC.
Reply:try to connect through a wireless router i suggest a Belkin brand router
Reply:This sounds like a router problem. You should be more specific. What Router are you using? Does the Xbox still stay online or do both the computer and Xbox not have internet connectivity?

What would you do if your soulmate's triplet brother got you to have sex with him as a test .. . ?

but it was before you ever met the brother that was actually your soulmate? Your soulmate didnt know about it, but his triplet brother knew his brother was your soulmate because he's psychic and can do astrological matchmaking charts; would you expect your soulmate to ever get over that you'd had sex with his brother?

If you dual-boot your Xbox so it uses the normal rather than the modded dash, you can go onto Xbox Live without being detected as your machine will be 'normal' and unmodded until switched off.

When is it ok to ask about whether she's seeing anyone else?

I'm dating a gal. We met through an online matchmaking site and appear to be a good match. We've talked for a bit over a week now, and we will have our first date soon. This is obviously way too soon to ask for exclusivity, but I have been wondering if she's seeing anyone else, it seems like the answer to that question would be a good indicator of whether she's happy with how things are going so far, and it would also tell me whether *I* should stay exclusive or whether I should see other women.





I'm not planning to ask the question until after our first date, but when do you think would be a good time to ask it?





Thanks in advance :)

When is it ok to ask about whether she's seeing anyone else?
i strongly suggest you ask on the spot because if she isn't


it will be much harder to get a 3 some going, or perhaps you have some one in mind for that already?
Reply:I'd give it 2-3 dates, depending on circumstances.
Reply:you can ask her during your plan of a second date. if she refuse then thats the time you inquire.
Reply:you should spend time with her in person first. try to read her body langage, that should tell you something. but if not, answer her. just dont seem like your dieing to know or that your a physco of something. play it cool :]
