My plan is to preorder legendary in store if I can anywhere. If that falls through, I'll preorder it on Amazon. Then at midnight, I'll go to a store and get Collectors edition for a buddy of mine that doesn't want to wait in line at midnight. Play that until Legendary Comes.

*crosses fingers*

 

[MaizeRage25]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the collector's edition. I don't think I need a tiny helmet.

Wow, this thread is like a boulder crashing downhill....and the momemtum just keeps building.

And that guy who wrote the Time Magazine article said that Bungie/Halo needs to come out a play with the popular kids! The secret is that the popular kids are already here on GAf, involved in a community that is more bonded and stronger than that of the "real world". Brought together by a little peice of Heaven called Halo.
And they call us a subculture. We are a culture that others can only aspire to achieve!

Proof? I present peoples exhibit A - The official Halo 3 Thread.

[dejay]

wtf isnt this thread over 1k yet? come on people, lets start an arguement about something...

Killzone 2 will have superior graphics, gameplay, glowing goggles and open decked flying troop carriers.

Will that do?

[GodfatherX]

this thread is impossible to keep track of

this thread is impossible to keep track of

Ghaleon updates the OP at the top with latest infos.

We supply the thread with variations of a handful of phrases:

"hold me", "I can't wait to play", "Gamer Fuel has Parasites", "lol cats rule", "This one wins", etc.

Got it?

 

[I wipe my own ass]

Everybody stop posting while I'm offline. I'll call you guys tomorrow and tell you when to start posting again. Okay?

meh... i guess I did get a little carried away :lol

Still, that article did piss me off a little. I don't particularly like my hobby, and what I'm into, being given a bad rap.

 

[The Elite]

Tiny?

Should have taken that picture in the nude... for the lulz.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

What a thread!

Much of the content provided here, I have never seen before.

[I]So[/I] sexy. It'll be a great edition to my game collection and will really shimmer next my Big Daddy figurine. :D

 

[mellowbob]

for someone whose never played the first two games, is there a way to get caught up on the story?

Google is your friend.

Google is your friend.

Or watch the cut-scenes on H.B.O.

 

[godhandiscen]

So who else got their invite for the San Francisco IMAX event?

My suggestion is to pick up the first two and play them. You can find them fairly cheap used.

However, you can find a good treatment of the story at Halopedia http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

You'll be doing yourself a favor by picking up Halo 1 and Halo 2. You shall never regret it.

You can pick up the original at Best Buy brand spankin' new for $9.99.

And let's not bring up the BXR stuff. That's how I got my tag.

 

[Trasher]

Tiny?

Mmmmm, that looks awesome.

Nope. Lost on all accounts. Not like it would have done any good being in Ohio and all.

Interesting how they use Iris media in there...

Thanks for the link. I'll definatly get around to playing the first 2, but i just want to get caught up on the story for halo 3.

 

[GodfatherX]

so saturday my best friend and myself start are co op replay of halo and halo 2.

i know we can replay halo 1 in 1 day, we have done it extremely intoxicated in as much time

but ive never replayed halo 2 [sorry i was one of those extremely pissed at the story], anyon who has recently replayed it how long would you say it should take on co op heroic?

 

[Trasher]

You'll be doing yourself a favor by picking up Halo 1 and Halo 2. You shall never regret it.

You should definitely get the first two. It won't take long to play through both and get caught up in the story.

 

[urk]

anyon who has recently replayed it how long would you say it should take on co op heroic?

About the same. You could do it in a day, co-op, if you really spend all day playing.

 

[Blueblur1]

I've done it in like 3 hours. Well, it was Legendary.

 

[Ramirez]

I've done it in like 3 hours. Well, it was Legendary.

That'll be enough dickwaving coming from you friend!

 

[Darkman M]

I wonder do you get the complete legendary achievement while playing coop. I dont see myself playing on heroic ever anyways might as well jump straight to legendary.

 

[godhandiscen]

Nope. Lost on all accounts. Not like it would have done any good being in Ohio and all.

Sorry to hear that. I do not know how I wont though. I repeated the puzzle many times, but when I solved it, they said I was among the players with the fastest times. I cant believe it.

 

[Buttonbasher]

That'll be enough dickwaving coming from you friend!

:lol :lol

 

[favouriteflavour]

Tiny?

I thought it was smaller? Is this for real? If so i gotta get to the shops right now.

 

[godhandiscen]

Can you plz teach me? I wanna be 1337.

 

[See]

That'll be enough dickwaving coming from you friend!

It's possible

How he done it.

For the lazy:

Cairo Station: 12 min 14 sec

Outskirts: 5min 38 sec

Metropolis: 5 min 53 sec

Arbiter: 10 min 6 sec

Oracle: 25 min 27 sec

Delta Halo: 11 min 3 sec

Regret: 26 min 37 sec

Sacred Icon: 13 min 27 sec

Quarantine Zone: 9 min 39 sec

Gravemind: 41 min 6 sec

Uprising: 6 min 48 sec

High Charity: 12 min 52 sec

Great Journey: 15 min 49 sec

Total time: 3hrs 16 min 28 sec

But these times were set by just ignoring maybe 90% of all the fights, but for that 10%, it was absolutly amazing!

oh yeah, he never died.

 

[Ramirez]

It's possible

I'm not doubting that.

 

[Kritz]

Tiny?

What the crap? I could fit TWO cat's heads in there! :lol

September 25th is going to be a very interesting day indeed.

 

[Buttonbasher]

What the crap? I could fit TWO cat's heads in there! :lol

Nah

 

[Kritz]

My cats. They have square heads.

Spoiler

Or they will, anyway.

 

[SpudBud]

Tiny?

Sexy, very sexy.

 

[Blueblur1]

That'll be enough dickwaving coming from you friend!

Sorry! :lol I'm not even trying to do it on purpose. I'm just illustrating how I got through it on co-op in a short amount of time. Yes, we did rush through the game but it was still fun. Hell, you can skip like 20 minutes of gameplay on AotCR alone.

Oh yeah, I'm obviously talking about Halo 1. No one has ever cared to go through the H2 Campaign with me. Even though I have like 8 profiles, each saved right before the Skulls so I can activate them at will, that make the game more fun.

Okay, I'll stop now. :lol

 

[Buttonbasher]

Sounds dangerous...

 

[SpudBud]

Damn square cats! They killed my family!

 

[voltron]

Where is this weeks Bungie podcast??

Im afraid.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Damn square cats! They killed my family!

Well at least they look cool now

 

[voltron]

I feel kinda turned on looking at that. Cat hat porn.

 

[godhandiscen]

I know, its like if SDF kidnapped Stinkles or sumthing.

Take it to PM, etc.

 

[MaizeRage25]

Yes, I said tiny.

 

[GhaleonEB]

By request, enbiggened header/footer added to OP. I trimmed some of the pics and text a bit to accomodate.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Yes, I said tiny.

Seeing as it's about the size of a head, what do you want?
