I don't think so. They posted 3 or 4 pages of it, thats not nearly the whole thing.

Last time I checked they posted the whole thing, if you can't find it there try
the IMDB forums, thats where I got mine.
Though that script is old as they were re-writing it last time I checked.

Are there any pics of the cases that are in the plinth on the Legendary Edition?
Aside from the original pics that showed generic Xbox 360 cases, no I don't think we've seen what Christmas in September will look like this year.

They brought in DB Weiss to do a revision a long time ago. Whether the script he did is the "final" version or not is unknown.

There are no cases, just a cat packed into there. You must fight him and wrestle the helmet onto his head for him to give up the game. Lucky Charms leprechaun style.
 
Paul Bertone has been my favorite guest so far. Excellent, excellent show.

And apparently a guy cannot share his opinion without everyone else going nuts.

Worthless?

Can people learn to use the weapon...

Pfftt...the AR is soooooooooooooooo much better than the SMG.

Starting with the SMG completely ruined Halo 2 for me.

The Assault Rifle was awesome in the beta. I don't know what Blueblur1 is smoking, but I don't want any of it.

Try short, controlled bursts!

OK, you start with SMG, I start with AR, one on one, Guardian. I should only win a notch more games, right?
EvaPlusMinus said:
This is madness.
Thermite said:
Nonsense. The Assault Rifle is the perfect starting weapon and I personally feel it's the best all around weapon available in the game.
Eric WK said:
You're out of your mind.

The AR is far better than the SMG. It's not even close.

Okay, I never said the AR was the worse weapon in the game. I'm sorry if you all misunderstood and got that impression. But it was by far not a great starting weapon. I'm personally a fan of the Battle Rifle, like Luke, and I perceive it to be a better starting weapon whether anyone agrees with me or not.

I've played well over 13,000 games of Halo 2; I understood how to use the Assault Rifle in the Beta and I do not abhor it nor do I love it. I think I'm being reasonable when I say that its a little bit better than the SMG. And just like with the [Halo 2] SMG I found myself running to pick up another weapon at the start of every match to do some owning (preferrably dual Spikers or SMGs). In fact, I often found myself picking up a single SMG (because only one was at the spawn point) and being more successful with that weapon (I loved it in the Beta).

In fact, if it hasn't been changed since its incarnation in the Beta, I'd gladly take that challenge, Frankie. Hell, I'll take that challenge even if it was the Halo 2 SMG. :D

My problems with the AR start with the ammo clip and end with its range. If it was a tiny bit more accurate as well and had at least 12 more bullets in one clip than it would be much better. But that's my opinion. I'm sorry you all had a problem with me expressing it.

Oh, and...

I was talking about the Halo 3 Xbox 360. :D I will headed to WIN town on Sunday when GameStop can finally sell it to me.
 
Damn, I can't play any halo right now. Gotta beat Metroid 3 as well as d/l those new Halo maps. I've submitted a few friend requests for when I can play. Anyone feel free to add me: Mr Scarecrow
 
Hey guys! During the Halo 3 hype, I decided to start drawings and here is what came out of it :




What do you guys think?

Edit : Fixed the link for the Working guys!
 
Littleberu:

1) you are very talented - most impressive
2) that's kinda NSFW, direct link instead of imbed? Which is to say, Cortana's ass is sumptuous and shapely, and exposed. :p

Probably a bad sign that I marveled at the inclusion of the glyph before noticing the rest...

Yes, the BR is a better weapon, but does that mean it should be a starting weapon? Nope, it doesn't, because giving you a weapon such as the BR at the start of the battle means there is no reason for you to even hunt for anything different, and it gives no advantage to players who have kept alive long enough to hunt for decent weapons.

Besides, after playing countless of tedious MLG BR start matches I'm totally sick of it. Everyone starting with the best gun in the game defeats the whole object of having a selection of guns in the game, like what happened with Halo 2.

The entire point of the AR is it isn't as good as other weapons, because you spawn with it!
 
cortana's ass aside... has anyone preordered at futureshop in canada? my store "didn't know" whether they were going to do a midnight launch. the clerk said " we didnt even do one for the wow expansion" sooo I might cancel and move to walmart or something if they arent.

Jaime said some of the design requirements for the new default spawn weapon is that it 1) cannot be dual wielded and 2) cannot do headshots. I think this is the right way to go; I've had way too many "All BR, all the time" games of Halo 2 for my tastes. Both the AR and BR have distinct and different uses; I often trucked both of them around. I'd much rather get into a hectic close-quarters firefight with the AR over the BR any day.

Lars and Joe Tung are doing the IMAX in San Francisco, which I believe is today and then Joe Tung and I are doing the NYC event on Thursday night.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

The one day I'm not in the Bay Area, the most awesome event that has happened here in a long while takes place. Damnit Bungie, give me more than two hours notice next time!

*bitter tears*

FUCK.

What, What in Luke's butt?

There's an IMAX event in NYC this Thursday? Details please.
 
Soooo... Halo 3 will be my first Halo experience. I'll be playing co-op with 3 other dudes who also have no idea about the franchise. Anyone care to sum up the story of the first two games so we actually know what the hells going on when we first set foot in the game? Just a very basic outline.

I've never been a console fps fan. But you can't go wrong with 4 player co-op. I'm looking forward to it.

I think 1up did a very good summary of the first two game's stories. It's linked in the OP somewhere.

You should check out Halopeida. It has a good written treatment of the story, and they it have all the cut-scenes from Halo 1 and Halo 2.

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

However, I would suggest picking up Halo 1 and Halo 2 and playing them, you can find them fairly cheap.

1UP's Halo 3 story primer. Its pretty good.
 
HBO says the Halo 3 opening sequence stuff is on 4chan.

So if you needed another reason to not go there....


EDIT: And I now am hearing they post pictures and discuss the ending...

Maybe I'll change my mind on this whole going dark thing...

Yeah, and if I were anybody that wants to remain spoiler-free, I'd steer clear from SomethingAwful as well. Around the time Bioshock released, they were running banner ads that had the big endgame spoiler (I WON'T MENTION IT HERE SORRY PEOPLE) in them.

Looks like HBO forums are going to go away.... Crap man, how is this possible?

Oh shit, BB get your Brimley chart out we need to be at the highest threat level.
 
Buttonbasher said:

Seriously. The sad thing is, this isn't even near as bad as it will get. I predict mass hysteria when more of the inevitable leaked copies trickle out. There will be douchebags who spoil it and there will be people who inadvertently spoil themselves. I don't want to go dark, but I think in a week, that might be the only option.

:(

Hold me, Basher, hold me.

Word to the wise, the following websites should be avoided until after you completed the game (and well, always):

1. GameFAQs boards, because the site is full of juveniles that will post spoilers in topic headings.
2. Something Awful, because the spoilers will be made into a banner and posted for all to see (like they did with BioShock).
3. 4chan
4. 2chan
5. If you have a lot of people on your MSN buddy list that you don't really know (I do, because of past "fame" exploits, during my G-Faqs days). Delete or block them now, because they will likely change their name to a spoiler.
6. Most non-GAF/non-Bungie gaming sites.
7. RA, because it's where all the scum of the internet live (******).
8. RA, because it's where all the scum of the internet live (******).

I SAW IT! The discussion I mean. Yeah... don't go there.
