I'm replaying Halo:CE on Legendary so I can freshen myself up on the story. I just finished with the Library. Fucking Christ, I don't remember it being like that. It felt like a never ending marathon of flood. :lol

"I am such a genius! ha ha ha"

 

[GhaleonEB]

Hey Ghaleon, I work at Gametop and that guide is actually shipping to stores on the 16th I believe. Of course they are street dated for 9/25 but I'm sure a few yahoos arent going to respect that date. Bottom line, theres a REALLY good chance that spoilers will be showing up around that time.


Also Halo 3 shipments should arrive in stores around 9/18. We cant even open the boxes until launch night (9/24) Actually we were told that DM's would be making "random" stops in stores to make sure the shipments werent tampered with.

Ah, I thought he meant shipping to customers. It had a ship date of the 18th for a while on the website.

Sounds like I'll be going dark next week. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[PaulRTC]

Yeah good games guys, was fun once again. I'm drawing the line at 3am though - damn you Atlantic!

 

[Buttonbasher]

That box was asking for it.

It was just great timing. Suicide then camera snaps to you as you say "Everybody. I'm fucking up this box. Lets all fuck up this box. Yeah!"

78 to 22
:lol

 

[godhandiscen]

You know what day the Halo 3 LE 360s are getting in? The EB/GS website says it ships 9/16 (next Sunday). Seems weird they would ship on a Sunday.

Wait, you mean they dont ship on the 25th? Awesome. This means I will have time for a couple Crackdown coop games before I go full into Halo 3.

 

[J-Rzez]

I guess it's ok to ask this here. Is it actually confirmed that the new wireless Halo headsets for 360 are actually redesigned over the original? Just wanted to make sure before I put down the money again on one of these. I sold off the original one I had because of how shitty it was. I thought Frankie mentioned something about it, but I just wanted to be sure.

I didn't like it either, it was a piece of junk... I still use my plantronics H2 official headset, and probably still will...

 

[Buttonbasher]

Will there be GAF games in the near future? I wish to get back into Halo 2 before Halo 3 but without having to deal with the jackasses that inhabit Xbox Live.

I'll be on later...

 

[Blueblur1]

8PM GAF Games
Total Sacrifice (me!) = Party Leader of WIN

Edit: Changed 'Host' to 'Party Leader' since that's what I meant.

 

[darkressurection]

Everyone kinda quit out so I only played one game but damn did we own some noobs.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I'll be on later...

I can't do tonight unfortunately. I have to get up at 5, but if you guys are doing something tomorrow night, I'd be down for that.

My GT is Confushious.

 

[Havok]

Everyone kinda quit out so I only played one game but damn did we own some noobs.

Yeah, sorry about that, but I have a little bit of work to do and then I'm obligated to play a few rounds with some other friends. Another time. It will be glorious.

Spoiler

Maybe some 4 player coop if it gets delayed that long

 

[Numbers]

Yeah, it was fun. Only had time for three games cause I was playing with some friends before that.. Also, wtf numbers. Why were you being an asshat in that game on lockout? Fucking annoying.

I got bored. After the 3rd game of MLG BEE ARR I got tired of repeating CTF.

You're just mad cuz I pwned you without BXB.

 

[Mutagenic]

I apologize if this has been discussed already, but I figured this thread (if any) would be a good place to ask. It is yet known whether the Halo 360 system includes the quiet disc drive and/or 65nm chip? Again, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, and thanks for any future answers.

 

[kittens]

It was just great timing. Suicide then camera snaps to you as you say "Everybody. I'm fucking up this box. Lets all fuck up this box. Yeah!"

:lol I wish I was there! I'm getting internets at my new place on Tuesday, and then IT'S ON.

It's supposed to be a Zephyr like the new Premiums and current Elites. So no 65nm chips but it should have the BenQ DVD drive.

Some stores should have them in tomorrow (9/10) but most will have them by Wednesday (9/12) They cant be sold until Sunday (9/16)

 

[bigswords]

I though 25th was the official date that Halo 3 can be sold

 

[DrBo42]

The 360's not the game.

EDIT: Too slow.

I see. I guess we'll be getting a call by the end of the week then. Preesh...

 

[H3ADG3AR]

3am it was for me too. Great fun tonight guys, even if I sucked.

As you may of guessed I'm not experienced in the ways of hosting:lol

I think I made the right decision passing duties to Blueblur1(Total Sacrifice) cheers man.

 

[StranGER]

has anyone heard anything yet about the HDTV list?


i gotta go look at a few this week so i can make up my mind .

got some good cash coming in next weekend so hope to pick one up ASAp after that.


still not sure between a 32" or 40" for the bedroom.

anyone got one that big? i'll be 5' or so away from it. maybe up to 8' at times.

still leaning toward samsung. saw a 40" for 1200 and 32" for 800
(last years model i think)

Ohh phew Hmmm hopefully someone at Lamma or teamxbox opens up this edition of the 360.

You didn't, you did manage to headshot me with a BR when I had no shields and you spawned right in front of me. But that's not what irked me, it was superjumping and being fucking annoying.

 

[Doodis]

woah woah... David Lee Roth is back in the tour?

That's the word on the street. And on cnn.com. But the bass player isn't going. Eddie Van Halen's son is instead. That tells you how freaking old they are.

*We now return to your regularly scheduled Halo thread.*

:lol

I did totally own it too. Up the hill and then back down. I am a badass.

Also, Overheat...yeah, not impressed.

 

[Numbers]

You BXBed. And Noob comboed, and a bunch of annoying shit that pissed me off too.

Quit complaining!

I just wanted some good ol' capture the flag And who kept failing at loading maps?

Who was Overheat, as well?

 

[urk]

Frankie, clean out your inbox. That's Christopher Lambert from the epic science fiction fantasy film, Highlander! Immortal Connor MacLeod of the clan MacLeod am cry.

Harrison Ford would never survive THE QUICKENING.

Ahhh thanks. That just saved me $400 for the time being since I already have a premium system.

 

[zam]

I only used the combo yesterday, didn't touch it today. I didn't suddenly leave one team disadvantaged (we were 3 on 4), superjump up on top of the level so you can hide where no one can shoot you as soon as anyone starts shooting at you, and then join a team, teamkill people, and leave the team.

Just cause it's not the gametype you like, don't ruin it for everyone else, jump out of the game instead. Fucking immature.

Coagulation keeped failing for me, didn't realise for a while though sorry guys.

I gave the disk a wipe, tried a local game and it worked so I shouldn't have this problem again. All other maps working fine for me.

 

[Blueblur1]

Ahhh thanks. That just saved me $400 for the time being since I already have a premium system.

Good, don't get it. Its pretty much only for Halo fans who haven't dived into next gen yet and Halo fans who already did but they're chumps like me.

In my defense, Team Purple aimed mostly for Blue heads.

Edit: Reason I went to Purple is coz I didn't want to get owned by Blu and I didn't want to be on the same team as zam. If I would have joined blue, it would have been 5 against 3. So I went to purple.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

getting mine at 7-11 of all places at midnight, no line no fuss lol

Are you sure about that?

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

yep I know store manager hes getting in 6

 

[darkressurection]

I am going to Wal-Mart just because I know they will probably get a metric fuck-ton of copies.

 

[ant1532]

I don't think I'm ready for Halo 3. I mean.. Halo 3? WHAT? HALO 3!! Holy shit.

I really really don't want to be sucked into multiplayer not even a eighth of how much I was into Halo 2. I hate myself for all that time gone.

Although I think the hype isn't as big as it was for Halo 2 right now, I haven't seen a commercial although at a party I was at this weekend when the radio was blasting a commercial came on with this voice talking about the convanent and earth and I was thinking in the back of my head "Oh shit!" but then some girl changed the station.

Are those Slurpees tasty, jerk?

No 7-11 around where I live = fail I've never had a Slurpee.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

I find it very funny even 7-11 stores are selling Halo 3

well they are doing a whole promo, slurpee cups, and new flavor, etc.


buy into capitalism or something.

I've never had a Slurpee.

Im so sorry....

 

[Timan]

HALO3 Slurpee + Halo3 at midnight = awesome...

You, my friend, have an unfair advantage. Sweetness.

He's not a metallurgist to King Charles of Spain.

 

[Deadly Monk]

I'll be toggling between them all but I like the EVA.

EVA helmet looks cool, I might use that...

But I'll mostly use the Mark IV or the Marathon variation of that armor after I unlock them

Spoiler

They're in the game, right Stinkles?!

 

[urk]

He's not a metallurgist to King Charles of Spain.

Sure he was. Just not to Charles the Fifth. The Holy See threw him for a divine loop. Man is fallible. It's understandable.

Also, lolz.

I'm sure 7-11 will be one of the first stores to break the street date.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'm sure 7-11 will be one of the first stores to break the street date.

All this 7-11 talk has inspired me to go get a Slurpee when I go pick up my friend from his job in 30 minutes. I'll probably then swing by Wal-Mart and pick up the Heroes DVD.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

All this 7-11 talk has inspired me to go get a Slurpee and reserve my copy of Halo 3 today! when I go pick up my friend from his job in 30 minutes. I'll probably then swing by Wal-Mart and pick up the Heroes DVD.

fixed?

 

[kittens]

I'm sure 7-11 will be one of the first stores to break the street date.

Exactly my thinking, and that's why I'll be devoting the entire week before 9/25 to touring local 7-11 locations.

No, seriously.
