Why not format? There is no way a game can hurt your hardware. Even one as bad as XIV.

Haha nah I haven't played in months. It's been known to wreak havoc on vid cards though. It's nothing software since it only crashes when stressed. What makes sense is the vid card or the power supply. I have a 750W Corsair though, so I doubt it's that. The GTX 470 is used, so I can see that crapping out. However, I had the fan revved way up to keep the temps at an acceptable range and it still crashed.

It can be anything really since I built this on a budget. It could be the Phenom II X2 that I unlocked to a II X4. It could be the second hand 470. It could be the mid range MSI board. It could be the power supply overheating. It could be the ram that was more geared toward Intel chips (though seems to work fantastic with AMD). You see what I'm getting at.

Answer it? I lost it two months ago during the moose hunt. Don't feel like springing 500$ for a new one before xmas. Or more accurately, I can't afford to before x-mas.

Finally came in on Saturday. Finally got to play it for 15 minutes on Sunday. Feels like Halo so far.

The cut-scene rendering is out-fucking-standing (human faces, etc.). Can't tell yet if that translates to the gameplay, haven't run across any Marines or other humans yet.

I've never played any of the Halo games, but it has always looked interesting.
I do have a friend's Xbox on extended loan. If I were to try out Halo, where should I begin?

I did not pre order the game, but i was at my friends house the night it was released. We player about 2 hours of multiplayer and 3 of campaign. Like many have said, the game looks fan-fucking-tastic. The guns sound louder and more realistic. Some of the forerunner guns are super cheap, and even the needler is over the top. Definitely look for some of those guns to be Nerf'd. Campaign seems thrilling 3 hours in...

But i dont plan on buying it as i have gone to the dark side and bought myself a gaming desktop. Running dual quad-core processors and dual graphics cards (ones a gts8800, not sure the other). Really enjoying the Steam games i bought last year at the Christmas sale that my old lappy couldn't run. Just installed Windows 8 a couple nights back....

Missing the music style from the older scores. The new stuff seems too laid back.
