    Isn't that great.. The game I have been wanting for quite sometime now has a demo that I can't get because of my stupid xbox. Oh well, tell me everything John.

    What's wrong with your Xbox that causes you not to be able to download the demo? o.o

    I know you love nothing more than to show my flaws and idiocy :p

    I know I can download it through xbox.com but I have like 300mbs of memory left on it atm, so I need to clear some space which I can't really be bothered doing right now.

    He has the one red ring, worst one in my opinion.

    Sadly, I can't download this either. I've already packed up my Xbox since I'm moving in about a week. I should have packed it last but I wasn't thinking about it until recently...

    Indeed it is the worst fault. I found this great site that shows every possible xbox error. My error is e74, it has something to do with the av port.

    Section 4 is flashing red

    - Hardware Failure
    / \
    \ /


    The Specific Type of hardware failure can be determined by the error code displayed on the screen.
    If the screen is blank or you would like additional information follow the instructions for determining the secondary error code in the section below
    E45: Unknown (possibly dashboard update related)

    E64: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc.

    E65: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot.

    E66: DVD Drive Error: DVD model, or version does not match that of the version expected by the dashboard. OR the firmware version on the drive is older then the firmware version expected by the dashboard. Make sure the DVD drive is of the same version originally included with the console and that it is using either the original firmware included with the console or newer.

    E67: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

    E68: Voltage Error... This error means that the Xbox 360 has insufficent power to function properly. This can be caused by an error in the hard drive or the fans that make them suck up too much power, it can also be caused if you have unnecessary accessories attached to the console like an external fan unit. Attempt to remove unnecessary accessories first, and then necessary components such as the hard drive and USB devices. If you have any case mods you may want to investigate those as well.

    E69: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

    E71: possibly a dashboard update error, Check below in the "Console Reset Codes" for instructions. If that does not work there is no other solution and the console must be sent back to MS for repair.

    E72: Error with the NAND flash

    E73: General Hardware Error: Ethernet port... this error is caused by a problem with the Ethernet port.

    E74: There is high chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip near the AV cable connection) it can also be caused by a faulty AV cable so check that first. In some cases it is a problem with the GPU and may be repairable by doing the x-clamp replacement (see error 0102)

    E76: This error deals with the Ethernet port's controller chip, a dead chip may not cause the error but removing the Ethernet controller chip does, it may also be caused by other Ethernet related problems.

    E79: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it.
    According to tmbinc: E79 is the error code if xam.xex could not be started, i.e. probably a file system corruption.
    E80: Wrong LDV version in NAND Flash. This is in new dashboard. You have the update but haven't R3T6 resistor. You can:
    -Downgrade to old dashboard, solder back the resistor and then update your xbox
    -If you have CPU Key, get current NAND Flash image and fix LDV (just add 1 up to latest kernel). (See error 1100)

    Controls were moderately easy to navigate.

    That's good, I have always loved ensumble's games. Age of Empires II is my favorite computer game to date. Hopefully Halo wars lives up to it.

    Is the demo short, like where there's a timer set for how long you can play the demo, or is it like a long level that shows the basics of the game? Or something else?

    I really like Endwar, it's one of my favorite games when i get time to play it (if i have less than an hour to play the xbox, i play cod 5 or viking battle for asgard)

    anyway, that's the way i thought about it when i first heard about it. just because its halo i thought it was the best rts ever. but then i started thinking, and it doesnt look all that great. i would definitely prefer to pay $50 to buy Empire: Total War on the PC, then pay 60 to buy a game for the 360 that doesn't even compare. you have to think. i'm sure once the game comes out and people begin buying it like crazy, they will start getting shitty reviews because it's not that great. the multiplayer isn't good either because it's an RTS. it's hard as hell playing multiplayer on an RTS.

    I'm in the process of downloading the demo now but it's taking forever. I'll post some details about it later, after I thoroughly enjoy it.

    What?

    The last part made no sense whatsoever. RTS games suck online? Is that what your saying or are you saying that Halo Wars Multiplayer online sucks? Both?

    And would you please stop being a fanboy. Empire: Total War is not even out yet.

    You can play the beginning of the campaign, OR you can play in Versus mode. Theres an AI, or im assuming you can play the demo against someone on XBL.

    The ability to play versus mode makes the demo infinite... despite it being that you can only play on one board.

    There's only an AI, no online options for the demo.

    Ya im around 90 percent right now, its taken like a hour to download this demo...
    I wonder if it will be worth it, and its not too short and lame.

    I am looking forward to getting the game.
