So he was having the same problem, but in-game? I can't tell if you're talking about that or the fact that the headset caused him difficulties with the ladies.

He kept getting owned by the sword. Pretty sure it was the headset.

Actually it sounded fine, but I've heard of the problem you're talking about with the wireless and wired sets. Pretty sure it's a latency issue. Seems worse on the 360 then the original box. Might have to do with the emulation. Dunno.

I pray this game doesn't get leaked... at least not until a week before or something. I hope MS have rabid dogs on site 24/7.

As soon as it does, I'm dropping offline altogether.

Same here. I guess I'll spend that time replaying Halo and Halo 2's campaigns.

It will become devoid of the true Gaffers and be left to rot b.net forums style :lol , until a few days after the 25th when most have Finished the Fight.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to the POST YOUR OWN HALO 3 SCREENSHOTS thread!

I know I'll be ghosting the second something gets out. I had arbiter ruined for me to some degree. The last thing I read about halo2 was "dude you play as an elite in single player"

Question:

Has anyone bought a 360 from Target to use while theirs was in for repair, and then returned it when they got theirs back?

I talked to a lady on the phone about their return policy, and she said that with a 15% restocking fee, they'll take back consoles, even if they've been opened and used, but... our Target is pretty shady, and it's a lot of money up in the air for a console I already own.

Basically, I just need confirmation from someone who knows on whether or not Target will take it back once I'm through with it.

Target Swap. My friend did it three times with busted 360's, but it was before the elites came out.

"Target Swap"? Like, buy one and then return mine as though it were theirs? Aren't the serial numbers on the packaging, too? So my console's serial number wouldn't match the box it was in, and I'd eventually get found out. Or are you talking about something else?

 

[NJ Shlice]

Yeah, Falk0r got one of those fancy wireless headsets and it added a bunch of lag to his game.

This is a fact.

Headset causes sword lag

Also:

XBLRadio did an interview with the guys at WizKids doing the HaloClix game, in video form (Direct youtube link). You can sort of (finally) get a sense of how the game is played, and also maybe laugh a little at the "handspeak" of the interviewer.

Apologies if old.

The statue/MasterChiefAngelo extravaganza continues: Madame Tussauds Unveils Master Chief Figure (no new pictures). Complete with amazing hyperbole by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz:

For me, the launch of Halo 3 will be the entertainment event of the year. It will be as big as or bigger than any of the summer's movie blockbusters," said Wentz. "Master Chief is as much of a hero today as characters like Spiderman, Frodo and Luke Skywalker were for previous generations.

More infoz:

The figure was created at the Madame Tussauds Studios in London specifically for the Las Vegas attraction. Master Chief stands at an impressive 7'2" tall, with an approximate finished weight of 275 lbs. A total of 10 studio artists worked on the massive figure, dedicating an estimated 892 man-hours for the finalization of the stoic soldier. Total man-hours included 687 hours for sculpting, 168 hours for molding, and 37 hours for painting. Materials included over 1,000 pounds of
clay.

Also, merchandising!

In addition to getting their picture taken with the legendary Master Chief at Madame Tussauds, Halo 3 fans will have the opportunity to purchase an array of Halo licensed products, at the Madame Tussauds Las Vegas location in addition to other gaming, specialty, and traditional retailers courtesy of Microsoft's exclusive Halo 3 licensing agent 20th Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising.

It would be awesome if the armor design from Marathon was one of the unlockables. Maybe Legendary unclockable? I bet that will be the Mark IV though...

Damn I felt nerdy watching that. I realize thats totally hypocritical of me, being a video game forum poster an all. Does actionclix define the miniatures or the game rules? Or what is actoinclix exactly? And I'm assuming that's similar to warhammer?

In a demi-angry fit, I gave my 360 a hard slap as I was listening to music, and, like some twisted zombie here to mock me, it came back to life. The POS will probably be pulled back into the darkness sometime soon, but I want to get a couple of final GAF Halo games in before the ship finally sinks. I'm on borrowed time, people! Hit me up sometime soon, PLEASE.

I haven't played Halo 2 multi in over a year. I'm terrified of you people.

So, I saw the first (semi) Halo 3 commercial tonight during the ND/Penn St game on ESPN. It was a Pontiac commercial, so I wasn't paying a lot of attention and I don't even really know what they said. But, at the end they showed the clip from the end of the MNF commercial where MC jumps off the cliff towards the Brutes and the Halo 3 logo pops up.

I remember MS teamed up with Pontiac to give people a chance to play it before it comes out. Maybe they were pimping that. Not sure...

 

[Buttonbasher]

I has a question about Campaign saved Films. How does it work when you die? Does it just click back to when you respawn? I guess it sounds stupid now. Sounded better in my head.

I thought I'd just get an army of "old" for that youtube clip; it was from February. Honest.

I think it shows you die. Not sure what happens after that..

Such an example is in the Gamersyde footage. Sketch is in a warthog and gets blown to hell, he respawns at a checkpoint and that's where the video continues.
