Just saw a commercial on CBS that said they were going to have a sneak peek of the game today during a commercial or something. I knew they were suppose to have the commercials today but actual gameplay? Has this been posted yet? Sorry if it has.

I saw that too, when does this air?

Well now you have me watching CBS sports for the afternoon. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

I'm not sure if they're going to show it multiple times, they haven't in the past.

EDIT: Wait, I just got a little confused, ignore what I said.
 
Ugh. I hate football. Guess I am watching an afternoon of it though. I can't wait to wash the taste of Football out of my mouth when Hockey season starts.

See, that's the kind of thing that annoys me about MLG. MLG takes out the vast majority of weapons and maps out of the game in the interest of 'balance'.

I mean, a circular room may be the most balanced playspace, but does that make it interesting to play? Nope, not at all. A lot of strategic options are lost because of it. Anyway, that's my 2c.

oh yeh i agree about interest of play, but once you get destroyed game after game on these asymetric maps by weapon whoring gods, you'll realize that you want symmetry. mlg knows whats up, they started Halo 2 by playing just about every map.

Those will probably be airing throughout the afternoon. Good stuff!

Oh fuck. CTV in Canada is overlaying their own commercials!!

BASTARDS!

Fuck you CRTC!
Fuck you CTV!

Yeah, I'm in a pissy mood.

you can make it so that objects once placed, cannot be edited or moved by other players. IN-game though, objects will always have their real physics. But there are some basically immobile objects.
Click to expand...

So from what you said, I'm assuming it's like locking objects in Gmod. YOU can move them, but other players(while in Forge, editing) cannot. But the other players can move the objects with explosions and such?

I thought a read a while back that boxes and stuff could be frozen in the air? I guess not...

Edit:

I did read that you could freeze objects in mid-air. On B.net, even!

Frankie(from B.net's "Worst Weekly Update Ever" said:
Suffice it to say that it’s possible and in fact, easy, to place objects in mid-air. Result? Super Mario Madness with guns.

But from what Frankie said in this thread, they'd just fall.

I'm confused.

i have red on some polish site that the writer finished the game on six hours on normal mode..

There's lots of stuff out there right now, and a very large proportion has been shown to be crap.

Also: Normal mode. 'Nuff said. :p

I believe everything I read on the internet.

Also, I heard there are people in Area 51 playing Halo 3 right now, with aliens.

Really, I hear that the whole thing really happened. A UNSC cruiser was thrown backwards in time and crash landed on Earth back in 1952. The US Government extracted vast amounts of information about the Halo weapon system and the Ark.

The last 50 years of human technology has stemmed from backwards engineering of the cruiser and the government has been working on rudimentary AI systems.

The growing US military presence in the middle east is no coincidence as they are slowly making their way towards the Ark so that the can secure that site.

Believe.

Awesome.
 
They just ran another teaser. It was a collection of footage from the announcement trailer and the last E3 campaign trailer, and then said, "Sunday" at the end. Sounds like nothing is coming today.

Edit: Today is Sunday.

In related news, I has a shovel. :\
 
Just saw a teaser for the sneak peek later today; just cuts of the announcement trailer and E3 '07 montage. It's still coming, wooooooo!

Edit: beaten by Ghaleon

This confirms my suspicions. Bungie is an alien race seeking world domination through candy.
 
Ghaleon says not today and Spaceman says today.

Who to believe.

I can't see the bloody thing either way because I have to see bad commercials for Corner Gas.

Corner Gas... I still can't believe people find this funny.

How?
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The length of the game will very much depend on your choice of difficulty in accordance with your skill level. Me and another experienced Halo player completede the game on Heroic, co-op. I can only imagine how much longer the game would have been if we had done it all on legendary (we did the first two levels on that), let alone if I had played by myself.

And again, don't let hours fool you...

Today is Sunday. I think Ghaleon is assuming that the "sneak peak" will just be a montage of footage we've already seen. I don't want to have watched football all afternoon for nothing, so I'm assuming something new and worthwhile will come our way today. :)

Never mind:

I took it to mean something would indeed be coming today, since its not likely that they would advertise something coming "Sunday", while meaning next week.


But I was planning on watching football all day anyway, so it doesn't affect me quite as much.

Edit: Everyone should donate to the "Buy Ghaleon a calendar" fund.

Why have all the major Halo ads been during football games? Does this say something about the target demographic?

Seeing as how the hardcore Halo fan already has it pre-ordered, I'd imagine they're going after the 18-40 year old male who just purchased his 360 to get Madden.

Because its probably the most watched program in America, I'd guess. Plus yeah, a large chunk of the demographic likes football. Football + explosions and junk like that = happy campers.
 
Normal has always been a cakewalk in halo games, im going straight on the setting under legendary. Saving that one for co-op and that I normally get owned on my own :lol
 
I've got the 3 red flashing lights 3 times now over the last two days.....It goes away after I disconnect my harddrive and reconnect it. Customer support said I my have to pay 99 fucking dollars cause it doesn't stay "dead". I'm so pissed at the moment.....Fucking right before goddamn halo 3.
