Nope, you only get health at checkpoints.

 

[Master Chief]

That's the one and only problem I had with G.R.A.W. Your men go down, uh-oh, timer 'til their death! You get shot and yer instantly a casualty.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Well, it's a realistic tactical shooter. Having a supersoldier that could take a hundred bullets would kinda kill the mood, no?

 

[Master Chief]

Realistic? Yeah, healing your buddies everytime and anytime they get shot and roll around on the floor sure mirrors battlefield reality.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Well, it is still a videogame. It's still more realistic to have one-shot kills mixed with wounds that can be healed then supermega soldiers.

But when you heal them 343 times in a row and they still walk afterwards...now that's bad!

MICROSOFT TO UPGRADE 360 CPU NEXT YEAR

Expect reduced heat and power consumption, plus a cheaper, faster, more reliable 360

11:43 Microsoft will give the 360's CPU a boost early next year, the chip's manufacturer has revealed. The upgrade is expected to reduce the CPU's power and heat consumption, potentially increase gameplay speed and response and also helping to reduce the 360's price point.
It sounds like a marvellous development, with the 360's CPU manufacturer Chartered Semiconductor dropping the announcement in a very casual bombshell today. Apparently, instead of using 90 nanometre technology in the 360 chip's construction, Chartered will switch to 65 nanometre tech, which may be seen as a response to some of the well-documented overheating problems which have troubled some 360 owners.







Apparently though, it's quite routine in the heady world of semiconductor manufacture to make such a move, as new technology helps reduce manufacturing costs, possibly laying the foundation for 360 price cuts in 2007 if MS wants to respond to the PS3's launch with a price-slashing war.
The new tech will certainly result in reductions in power and heat, but it's unclear at the moment whether the 360's CPU will be upgraded to take advantage of the new performance 65 nanometre pathways will offer.

Still, that might only be the beginning, as Chartered Semiconductor also revealed it had new 45 nanometre tech in the - ahem - pipeline, so even further advances could be in the offing. Whether this will work its way into the 360, Chartered aren't saying for the moment.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

What? Does that mean my 360 won't be able to play some later games because it won't be powerful enough? WTF?

 

[GothicPowerMix1]

Now that is ****ING STUPID

If that happens I am trading my 360 in at Gamestop plain & simple & will never support Microsoft again if they had the guts to do something like that. That is the most STUPIDEST thing Microsoft can do. If Microsoft did that & those with 360s from Launch or Earlier can not play later Games thats it for me I give up on Microsoft

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Me too. If that turns out to be true, I'm getting a PS3 instead. That's ****ing horrible.

 

[GothicPowerMix1]

I always planned on getting a PS3 & Revolution but hell if Microsoft did what they are planning to do not even bothering with the 360 anymore would make life easier with one less System & besides the Backwards Compatibility sucks ass on the 360 Just shows they rushed things unlike PS3 & Revolution when comparing Backwards Compatibility

 

[Mentok]

What? Does that mean my 360 won't be able to play some later games because it won't be powerful enough? WTF?

No. Its a simple CPU architecture change.

It has the 'potential' to play games faster (like 4 to 5 fps) because its not running as hot as the current design does. All future games will play on X360.

They are changing it to lower the cost and lower a bit of the power consumption.

Its no different to SONY updating almost every component in the PS2 over its lifespan.

It keeps costs down and also allows price drops for consumers.

But EVERY SYSTEM should be able to play ANY & ALL 360 games NO MATTER WHAT

 

[ToddIsDead]

And they will play any and all 360 games.
