    I don't have strong opinions on the storyline, but I thought the "Believe" marketing campaign for Halo 3 was amazing. That piano riff is etched into my mind. I still get chills.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    2 was the best. 3 I really didn’t mind. But I wouldn’t say it’s amazing

    Lol

    I remember that commercial! Damn, that took me back...I remember thinking "damn that looks good"

    But yeah, playing it now I'm a bit let down. Not because of the graphics or anything I mean I thoroughly enjoyed 1 and 2 again.

    How do you feel about the ODST campaign?

    I didn't like it much the first time around. It seemed tedious in comparison to 3 (which was my introduction to Halo). I think it grew on me when I re-played it, though.

    I was one of the first people in the world to play ODST, was invited to the Microsoft launch party at the Experience Music Project building in Seattle. I thought the campaign was nothing special but man playing firefight was awesome with friends.

    Haven't played it yet as I just started 3 and only got to the part where the flood arrive to Earth.

    Drinking and shopping, and shit posting so yeah...:burp:

    Also ordered a Gen 4 M.2 SSD to throw my OS on in the new PC build so I'm stoked for that.

    Finding out it'll be a waste of money, and downgrade, to buy a new PSU as my only PSU I have is an AX series Corsair.

    Everything else is a step down (HX, RM, TX, and CS) so happy to know I'll save a few bucks there.

    Anything sounds better than the flood.

    I always thought they felt like filler.

    "People are playing through this too quickly. What's a cheap way to slow them down?"

    I never looked at the full support list; apparently I can use the RAM I already have so that's another win.

    I only played while I was in college. No game consoles in the house when I was younger.

    I could, stated it last week too.

    The objection now is I just need to make another trip to the yard to see if they've got 2" x 3" rectangular tube.

    I could buy new steel, but that requires a commitment of 20' and that's something I'm not willing to do. I have plenty of steel already and don't need more I won't use.

    Last time I went they had it in their remnants, but it was 1/4" thick. Just need to visit every so often until they get some at 1/8" thick.

    I've been calling around to local shops for the knock sensors since the job seems like a little more than I wanna take on in my apt parking lot. Some of them are telling me they'd have to diagnose it, it could be this or that causing it; kind of acting like I don't know what I'm talking about and I just wanna throw parts at it.

    However, on here the consensus seems to be that it's mostly likely a bad KS and/or bad KS harness, or a bad connection etc. And by the time you tear into it you might as well replace both sensors and the harness because of the labor involved. I already ruled out a bad ECU, unless the spare one is also bad (seems unlikely).

    Is there anything else in these trucks that could be throwing the P0330 code that I haven't thought of? Bad wiring harness maybe, or running lean?

    P0330 indicates a knock sensor Circuit 2 malfunction, not that it is picking up knock or the engine has other issues. Just that it cannot receive an in range value from the Bank 2 knock sensor either due to the sensor itself or the the wiring to it.

    That's what I thought. Shops around here keep saying they'd need to do a bunch of diagnostics and charge me $100-150 just to tell me what I already know.

    I would do it myself but like I said it seems like a bit more than I'd wanna take on alone. I don't really have a good place to do all the work.
