Class Action Connect offers lawsuit against Bungie for Halo3's missing
« Reply #45 on: December 09, 2007, 04:15:00 PM »

sigh... the only way this was found out was through some sort of analysis with software... the human eye can't tell this apart and because they used them layers (i can't remember exactly what it was but i think it was two 640p layers for high and low lighting or something) it still looks amazing

this doesn't hurt anyone, u can't really tell the difference, and i doubt people were outraged enough to go return the game

these assholes are just trying to get money because out of the millions of people that bought halo there will be the douchebags that go and sign up for this

i hope M$ and bungie put in the money to repel this crap and then counter sue to get their legal expenses back bankrupting the losers

Not entirely correct: on the box it says you MUST agree to the enclosed EULA in either the manual or enclosed booklet if you want to use the software, if you don't agree you should return it to the retailer you bought it from.
since you MUST agree if you want to use the program, it's pretty obvious that when you played it, you legally agreed to the EULA.
it's like having to sign a nondisclosure contract before being allowed to see classified information: you MUST agree to shut up if you wanna see it, or you can't see it.

Also, they offer you the chance to read the EULA when signing up for MS services and you have to select "I Agree" to use it.
therefor, MS can pull the Xbox Live logs, use that as a proof somebody agreed to their terms of use for the LICENSE they give you.

besides, if there's anything waterproof at MS, it's their contracts and EULA's.
alternatively, they can request the accuser to show a proof of purchase.
since MS offers a limited 90-day warranty on most software in the US and Canada, you've only got 90 days to complain.

remember, this is MS we're talking about, they could even check the date the first halo 3 savegame was made and use that as proof.
too bad nobody RTFM's or the EULA's they get shown.
sorry mate, but MS does have 1 thing that's bulletproof and it's their legal department.
people used the game and the boxes and/or manuals read you have to agree to the EULA's, since they aren't allowed to play if they disagreed, they showed they agreed by playing because you must agree BEFORE playing, once you played there's no turning back.

the agreement has been made before the act, plain simple.



You actually believe Microsoft's legal department are invincible?? They lose legal cases all over the world, they are constantly making huge settlements.

I think this topic should have been closed a while ago....

Lawyers are not going to win...

Halo is not going to get refunded...

640p is above the SDTV and the EDTV standard. Besides, the Xbox360 upscales it to 720p. 720p is the signal your TV receives.

I wonder...
Would anyone here be pissed if they bought a projector or a monitor that said it was nativly 720p and it turned out that it was actually 1152X640?

Would you keep it and use it?
Or would you return it?
Or would you contact the company?

Well..It amazes me how many replies are actually kind of taking the lawsuit side.  From a legal standpoint this is just stupid and a waste of the courts time.  
I love that alot of you are "upset" or "dissapointed" by halo 3 and love to call it halo 2.5 but still play it.  Absolutely stupid.

The game looks sharp and plays awesome.

I really couldn't care less-love the game even with the lack of 80 pixels.  

My HDTV resets itself or the cable feed drops off every night-& its supposed to be HD.  I guess if I was really stupid I could sue because I'm not getting a continuous HD stream.  

I know how much lawyers charge (I know one very, very personally)-another frivolous & vexatious lawsuit that certainly doesn't serve the interest of the public-just like the many patent infringement cases that serve no useful purpose.

What? It looks "blocky"? Looks great on my RCA 52" HD TV that is so crappy it only displays at best 480p.

I bought Super Mario Galaxy the other day and the graphics were pretty bad until I changed the standard cables to some third party componant cables and then it looked great. Point is that mabey some people need to upgrade from the standard equipement before they notice what a difference new cables make.

Lol this is a stupid lawsuit.

If anything, this is one the least "false advertising" things out there in the world.

What about all those HD TV channels on cable/sat? A lot of times they show SD feed. Should I sue them too for not "false advertising"? Should I sue the people who make commercials like for cars or for HDTVs who respectively "falsely advertise" that like if you buy some car, every road will feel like a curvy road or in the case of HDTVs, that "every show" you watch will somehow magically be shown in full 1080p by your cable/sat provider? If anything, the 2 cases I just previously mentioned should be sued for false advertising rather than Bungie for Halo 3.

The thing I find funny is that COD4 isn't 720p either but I don't see then hauling Infinity Ward to the court room too.  This lawsuit is BS.  The game still looks good.  So what it isn't GoW looking.  It's still a decent game.  Can I sue because I think Kameo was a sucky game?  Can I sue beause Heavenly Sword was not long enough?  I don't see people complaining about COD4's graphics and people say it looks better.  Well of course it looks better than Halo 3.  I never recall seeing areas as huge as Halo's maps in COD.

Absolutely amazing. So I suppose all the people who are joining this class action lawsuit are going to hand over their copies of this "inferior" game due to the inexcusable absence of some pixels? People will do anything to earn a quick, dirty buck these days. Bungie has once again put out an amazing product and people have the nerve to try and stick it to them. And since this is the third installment of the Halo franchise, it's not like Joe Lawsuit didn't know what he was purchasing. It was necessary to maintain the framerate. Bungie won't ship anything less than excellence and it just blows my mind how ungrateful some "gamers" can be.


Well said! I saw no issue at all with the graphics personally.

Bungie has stated that the resolution was simply to keep the framerate up and still have the great lighting.

QUESTION: Do these people who are signing this lawsuit realise that if they win they could well destroy bungie?
