I ordered a copy of the Limited Edition of Halo 2 for xbox a little over a week ago...

I REALLY HOPE that it gets here today or tomorrow. If not, I'm gonna be really freaking sad.

It doesn't help that all of my friends in RL no longer have their copies, so they cant login as me and play some rounds online for me in the last day so i can at least have something in my Service Record for it towards Reach.

I played the PC version instead of the xbox one. Life sucks for us PC Gamers.

I can play as you if you want it badly enough to trust me with your account.

Sad day. I wonder if the majority of the hardcore who still play it everyday, will accept defeat, buy a 360 and move on to the new Halos, or if they will just say screw you MS and flock to xlink kai.

Well if they dont get a 360, from what I understand after 30 or so days (or maybe even immediately) after the servers shut down, their gamertag is gone. So if they haven't upgraded already, they are going to xlink.
I still want the gamertag "Your mom" when the servers go down. :D

Just popped in to say hi and to compliment everyone on the HaloGAF Montage. It was flippin' awesome.

See you in the Halo 2 hopper Wednesday after my league games.
 
Well, this Jester-beta-leaker could have at least taken the picture with a good camera.

And try to get a clean shot, not a washed-out mess.

All the glorious texture details is fucked this way. ç_ç

Nontheless, the overall image-quality (which can be inferred if not directly witnessed) seems top-notch.

Aliasing am gone, at last (well, there's still a little jaggy somewhere, but it's barely noticeable).

I can't find anything new or unknown in there, and it's a pain when it craps out at most attempts.

Snooze.
It's more for when new things come out and you want high quality versions of them before they get up on Bungie's site.

First of all, I have had extensive time with all the Halo games so far
Would you say you're an expert?
:lol

Silly boy not blocking his GT, but oh well.
Halo is destined for permanent residence in leakville (or is that MS in general? But I guess it can be applied to just about anything in the industry).

I imagine it will only be a matter of days until we see leaked footage...

Looks good. Can't wait to try out that shotgun.
[QUOTE=Kapura]So, then if Dax got into Onyx in T-Rex, but Juices got into Onyx in Bearmaul, we would be able to see "oh, dax got a soft onyx while Juices's is the hardest Onyx known to man." Or am I misinterpreting this?[/QUOTE]
T-Rex is the king of the dinosaurs, man.
 
LTTP on beta size guessing: 1.4 gigs. 1000x Wolfenstein 3-D :lol

LTTP on gametypes: I hope there's a Covie Slayer

While playing Halo 2 today, I spotted an opposing player who had both "Noble 6" and "DMR" in his gamertag.
Surrounded by XxX's, of course.

If you are telling me they have Halo 2 at my local Blockbuster, then I'd thank you sir.

All I want is to just to play with GAF in Halo2 today, something in ReachMP to show I was there would rock too.

I eBay Ordered the Halo2LE on the 6th... first class USPS might not make it here fast enough though.
 
InvincibleAgent said:
I'm not familiar with Blockbuster. But I'm sure they'd have it at my local Hollywood/GameCrazy.
I've got to Google Maps them to find some local ones.

From what I remember all the local Hollywood Video's near me closed long ago, though I might be able to find a Gamecrazy, will keep you all posted.
 
Lunchbox said:
do you get the reach emblem thing just for playing halo2 today? or does it have to be against bungie people specifically?
Today? Did I miss something?
EDIT: Ah, seeing the countdown timer, but I believe it is tomorrow.

We really should do a grudge match, HaloGaf VS Youtube retards.

Someone should make a video challenging all of Youtube, similar to what Soulja Boy did.
The hatemail will never cease.
:lol

I'm gonna have to check out the family video close to where I live for a copy of halo2. I can't stand blockbuster, but will check there out of desperation.

We go on-location to Bungie HQ to talk to the team behind Reach about new additions and details to the award-winning multiplayer model! Plus, we debut exclusive new trailers for the sci-fi FPS Singularity, the horrific re-launch of Splatterhouse and the downloadable multiplayer shooter Blacklight: Tango Down.

I wonder if that's all we're getting this week? And what about the BWU since it's usually out before the air time for that show, will the BWU deliver the goods before it?

That was my concern from last week as well, however there are plenty of new gametypes in the beta other then just Invasion so my guess is all of those are covered in detail during the update with a few invasion teases thrown in there for good measure.

I have actually been quite impressed with the quality of Reach coverage including IGN so I have faith in GTTV that their Invasion piece will cover all the bases.

Looking forward to Friday!

In other off-topic news, I passed the pharmacy technician certification exam this morning! I'm inching closer to becoming a pharmacist (inching because it'll take another 4+ years to become a doctor of pharmacy). :)

Back from ten days in Internetless land, I'm loving these screens and all the info from the latest BWU :D My girlfriend is staying at my place for a dozen days so I won't be much on the PC but I'll be checking Bnet and GAF while I'm in class :lol

Unfortunately I don't have H2 with me at college, at least not the Xbox version =( Farewell, sweet prince..
