I wish I had the money for even the collectors edition. Just moved into my new apartment for the university and this thing just sucks the money out of me. Oh well, it's what's inside the game case that counts right? Right?!?

I'm definitely getting the CE... legendary has nothing I really want, especially not for DOUBLE the price... no thanks. Plus it's not even going to actually be 'collectable'. they are making one for every pre order instead of a limited amount.
seriously, fuck that. there should be like 100000 total
seriously, fuck that. there should be like 100000 total
I'm getting Legendary, but ONLY because of the making of and cinematics + commentary stuff. Could really care less about the Helmet, although I might change my mind when I see it in person. Also not sure why people complain about the LE not being rare. It's a ultimate collector's thing, it doesn't need to be rare, and the fact that it's not being a very limited run is actually making people not want to buy it is stupid.
I posted waaaaaay back about it. It's not street dated, don't know what their problem is (bestbuy.com shows an estimated arrival date of 9/12-9/18, and amazon says it's shipping tommorrow). I picked it up Sunday at Gamestop. I never head the original wireless headset so I can't directly compare, but supposedly they're better quality than the regular wireless headsets, at least according to someone at bungie according to someone in this thread
. Also it only comes with a USB charger, not an a/c adapter like the regular one (apparently) does.
As far as actual use I haven't had any of the usual problems with the headsets as far as people hearing static/echo/feedback. I had one problem private chatting with a friend, but it turned out to just be something on his end apparently, since I didn't have the problem with anyone else or in any games. I only played Halo 2 for a while with it, no problems, everyone seemed to hear me just fine without problems and vice versa. Only problem I had was that it was working fine, but when I left the room to go do something else with it still on, it lost the connection (which was understandable rooms away), but when I came back it didn't reconnect, and it took several reconnects to get it to connect again. Honestly though I've only used the thing like a total of like 2 hours though. You might be able to get better impressions if you want to brave bungie.net or gamefaqs or something. If I have any continued difficulties with or something I'll post. I think falkor said earlier he had a problem where it was causing him to lag, but I wasn't having any problems with that.

Nope, those are new. Well, new in the sense that they're new to the internet. Those are the screens from various print magazines - Edge, Famitsu, EGM and others. Nice to have them direct feed, at last. If someone could host a couple highlight ones I'll swap'em into the OP.Buttonbasher said:

I just did some caculations of the number of times you can play through a campaign and still get a different experience.
Let's say there is 4 modes of difficulty.
4 modes of co-op based on # of players.
x number of skull modifiers.
The total number of ways to play through Halo 3 single player is 4*4*(2^x). If x was 9 skulls, the number would be 8192 ways. Which is around 100,000 hours, 4166 days, 11.4 years in gameplay. Continuosly.

There's only achievements for nine of them, according to the leaked list.

No shit, at class, work, driving down the road...no matter where I am I find myself calculating the days left and what I have left to do each day before it's time. I catch myself sometimes, it's like dude, get a grip, just a game. But then I return to being weak.

things that alter gameplay
like adding fog
making the co-op like halo 2 (one person dies, back to checkpoint)
stuff like no hud, possibly no shields
things that make the game harder but allow for greater rewards (probably unlockables if you complete with certain skulls activated?)

Just saw the museum ad.
Clever, but pretty offensive to actual veterans, I think.

Skulls are things you can find scattered, sprinkled and hidden throughout Campaign that have various effects on Halo 3's gameplay and enemy AI. The skulls are divided into two groups, ones that modify points (via making enemies behave differently, have more health, have every unit in the game be one rank higher on the unit chain) or ones that are more easter egg fun times skulls -- like the Grunt skull that makes you pee with laughter.
Then, once found on Normal or higher, the skull becomes available to be toggled on and off via Campaign Options from the Campaign Lobby (by pressing X) when you turn a skull on, the secondary indirect gameplay altering effect of the skull is that it increases your Campaign Scoring modifier, enabling you to get more points per kill/level. The more skulls you turn on, the more points you gain (and lose from dying).

See, I was smart. I saved Bioshock till a week before Halo 3. The pain will be barely noticeable.
