Must be pretty freaky seeing yourself running around in the game (getting killed :P). Frankie surely to be in their next game - he would make an excellent pimp-pirate sailing the seven seas!

How awesome is this screenshot!?

Not to be a dick or make a run out of things to complain about post but what the hell kind of military starts to use ATVs as recon/combat vehicles? Don't get me wrong please, I loved the mongoose in the beta. It's just kind of funny that I've just accepted the mongoose into Halo 3 because of the beta and never really thought about the reasoning behind it in the campaign. :lol

Is there a little in-game banter about it the first time you grab one in the story Stinkles?

What did you just say?

You need held? It's a good thing you didn't ask for help, because no one could possibly give it. Have fun and don't forget to rub it in our faces shortly after!

I'll rub them with awesomeness...
 
Looking at these screenshots and thinking back, I have to say that the MC looks a little shinier than he does in multiplayer. As for the single-player replay footage, yes, it looks that good. I love the motion blur they have now.

There just needs to be a Frankie marine in the game that gets stuck by a grunt or something.

A Luke marine would be out of the question. It would prevent you from killing any covenant at all, they would aready be dead or running away like sissies.
 
I'm not even highlighting joke spoilers in this thread anymore. I once did that in thread here in game discussion and got spoiled on a Lock Lost spoiler which beforehand I assumed to be a joke.

Dude, be careful. In fact dont even do that again, ever.

You are playing with fire... especially considering you have junior under your name -- for all we know you could be some punk that gets off on spoiling everybody's fun.

Read the spoiler warning by Bish up the top of the forums.
 
Tieno said:
Do grunts have melee attacks?
Good question. I always thought a Grunt's idea of melee was running away "feet don't fail me now!" :) but it'd be cool if they could whack you with their gun - they should make it look like a real effort with them turning their whole body to swing at you or something.
 
Oh...

I totally forgot to mention this in the write up but...

...

I was number #41 in the line at IMAX :(

#42 didn't even know the significance behind his number D:

the GIRL behind him knew, though.

No, I'm getting it too. Can't really afford to spend £70 on the Legendary at the moment, and it's not like the Limited Edition doesn't come with enough stuff.

Dude, it was only a Tenner more for the Legendary from Gameplay.com




...the wait is killing me. As is playing catch up on this thread XD

I pre-ordered Legendary from Gameplay as I got my copy of Halo 2 from them a day early. Hope they can do the same again :)
 
I just hope i actually get my Legendary.
The guy in Game wrote it in the book when i preordered months ago (First person in my store to do so apparently). When preordering some other games last month, i checked on my Halo 3 preorder.
The page of the book had been thrown out, and i was told "its probably been moved to the computer", but they werent sure... and they cant check!
At this point it was far too late to preorder it again.
I got in touch with Customer services to see if it was in the system... no reply.

We shall see what happens in 13 days. I may very well let Game feel my wrath.

So youre in Australia? Go to Harvey Norman dude. They should have some still available.

Have you added your tag to the Halo 3 gamertag thread? I need more UK people so I can avoid matchmaking as much as possible.

Plus I want to get games of Zombies going again, with the new old pistol the damn Zombies don't stand a chance :D

Well actually to this date nobody knows the significance of #42.

That's the whole point!
 
Tieno said:

I don't think so and due to their size and small weapons it will be pointless. But apparently they now do crazy stuff if they get cornered and desperate.

i did, thats why i did it -_- i have no intention of buying halo 3 for a couple of months heh, not like there'll be much story to spoil anyway, im waiting for PGR4

Not much story to spoil? PGR4? What have you done...

I am speechless. I am without speech.

Fortunately for all of us, you are also doing a fine job in PS3 related threads so sooner or later you will get what you’re asking for.

I like how you constructed that sentence. Throwing PGR4 in there was a nice touch.

Heh.
 
Ungh. My IRC channel has already had one retard jump in and spoil something, and there's no way I'm touching the Bungie forum any time soon. As a Junior (With a rather low post count / experience), I'm wondering how "safe" GAF is to spoilers. Should I consider bailing out? I quite enjoy lurking here, so I'm a little reluctant to leave for the Halo 3 launch period.

So awesome.
 
Ironically, this place would probably be safer if you could set it so you don't see the posts made by juniors... at least temporarily. :D

But it'll be pretty safe because the mods are like coiled snakes, just waiting to strike! :lol

GAF is good with spoilers. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Because I can't let this go...

Deadly Monk said:
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

They're in the game, right Stinkle and or Luke?!

...god I want to use the Mark IV in MP...

What number has Bungie thrown around as far as MP maps included with the game? I'm hoping at least 9. They know we (I) would give them a ton of Marketplace points for more anyway...

I hope they have something cool planned for launch as far as downloads go. Gears had the video and Crackdown had free character downloads. Maybe one armor type for Spartans/Elites?

I am such a whore lol.

BLASPHEMER!
Somewhere, in Africa, a child has lost its battle against starvation.
Guess who is to blame, acm2000?

Ha, cheers. Nice to know somewhere in these tubes there's somewhere nice to stay.

Also, I'd be in support of a Junior ignore kind of thing. It's not like I post near enough to have that bother me, and frankly I don't like a fair few of the Junior's posts. Regular members and titled members are so much more interesting, anyway.

Cruel words! Probably a fair point though. Speaking of which, when do I shed my Junior feathers? I thought it was after 150 posts (or 150 days, whichever first), but I'm still a Junior at 155 posts.

I PM'd a mod and asked them to extend your breaking in period.
 
Not sure how many of you guys listen the GameTheoryShow podcast... but next week the one and only Frankie, aka Stinkles will be on the show. Its out on Tuesday so check it out! And if you dont already you should check it out every week -- its up there with GFWradio and 1upyours for me. Great podcast.
 
13 terrible, terrible days. I thought I could stay away, I thought I could... but only one other person I know is as hyped for this as I am and it's not the same as chatting about it at work as it is trying to talk about it over Live :(
