best thing anyone can do while waiting for the game.

With quite possibly 100+ people in line I'm sure there will be a handful that would hand that kid an asswhooping.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Oh yes. And lo, what wonders shall be blessed upon the honored recipient of that post. . .

When does the contest end?

 

[MaizeRage25]

Don't you mean Zune??

Oh yeah...Zune. Yay Microsoft.

 

[Zzoram]

Does anyone know if Live co-op will skip the first cutscene of the campaign like Halo 2 did?

I assume it only did that due to the length of the cutscene. If Halo 3's opening cutscene is shorter it might not get skipped.

 

[electricpirate]

So I was watching Vagina chin's movies, the one where he goes over the control schemes, and they have the one I was hoping for.

THANK YOU BUNGIE. Bumper Jumper is what i've always wanted

For those that are curious, LB is jump, and RB is Melee. Now, all combat functions can be hit without leaving the sticks.

This is the most important minor feature I've seen yet. HOOOORAY!!

 

[DeejayKnight]

cant

wait

It's just disgusting and wrong enough to make it awesome. :lol

I don't understand watching an opening cutscene early. Its like when you get home at midnight, and you pop the disc in and change into your tophat and monocle, you watch the same thing you've seen already.

It's like seeing your christmas present early. It's awesome at first, but then on christmas morning you wish it was all a surprise.

Now I have to spend another 12 hours here! I don't mind. Really, I don't.

 

[tak]

Me too. On my Halo 3 Zune. As I sip Parasite Fuel. In my Halo 3 T-Shirt and Halo Beanie. Juggling my Halo novels and memorabilia.

Personally, I'm only showing up in my Halo brand underwear, only my underwear.

 

[Treo360]

Jebus, I clicked the youtube link, watched the beginning of the

forge play thru (not sure if this should be spoilered

But when it came down to the opening cinematic, I just couldn't. I heard about three words and had to quit.

Wow, I'm so psyched for this.

Chief approves.

People in line...not so much.

Sounds Dangerous...and lonely.

Can someone PM me the links to Vag Chin's movies of Isolation, Construct and The Pit?

What button are you going to use to reload. You are going to need to take your thumb off the right stick to reload.

 

[got2bekidding]

It's going to be a hell of a sight to see my whole friends list, about 15 or so, all finishing the fight on the 25th---as if no other 360 game ever existed.

 

[Eric WK]

That's not a combat function.

 

[Zozz]

I need a Halo 3 shirt, I remember when I stood in line at for Halo 2 the store manager gave a Halo 2 shirt to the first 15 people.

 

[JumpingYoshi]

What there are videos of Isolation, construct and the pit...Please link....

or how can I view them?

 

[Mr Jared]

Me too. On my Halo 3 Zune. As I sip Parasite Fuel. In my Halo 3 T-Shirt and Halo Beanie. Juggling my Halo novels and memorabilia.

I see your Halo 3 Zune and raise you-

GET HYPE, SON!

 

[Deadly Monk]

Mine will easily have about 40 people playing at once. It will be an awesome sight.

:lol

I haven't thought of that, I would image it is going to hold true for my friends list too.

 

[electricpirate]

Like Eric said, no need to aim while reloading.

Soooooooooo pumped.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Have the cups, shirt, book, and parasite fuel. Plan to order the poster. I still need an intoxicated friend though...

I'm waiting to see that one random guy playing Rally-X or something

 

[GhaleonEB]

I still need an intoxicated friend though...

And also, a roommate playing 360 in the background.

 

[MaizeRage25]

Too bad for me I won't be able to play too much on Monday night.

 

[Mr Jared]

:lol

Actually, we told him "look like you totally don't give a flying crap about the Halos." Intoxicated seems about right.

The poster is actually one from GameStop ... so it's all shiny. I want to order one of the ones from Bungie, but we just moved into the house and we want to be "anti-poster." Instead, we have a better idea for Master Chief art :X

 

[Deadly Monk]

My friend just sent me a text that said "Go to sleep and stop posting on gaf". He wants me to rest before the fight is over.

Yeah this is insane. I just got a second text from another friend (the two have never even met) who told me my "gaf-ing is scary".

Should I stop guys?

 

[MaizeRage25]

Have the cups, shirt, book, and parasite fuel. Plan to order the poster. I still need an intoxicated friend though...

But do you have the pink controller???

I was gonna say the same thing. I want one so bad.

 

[cool_dude_2049]

where do they sell the 12 packs? i've only seen the bottles.

I got a 12 pack at Walmart. I haven't seen the bottles anywhere.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I have a cat that digs a certain TV Commercial mega-star...

Also no pink controller, but I do have the Pink GBA...

And some pogs...

But the dog isn't wearing the Halo 3 limited edition Miranda Keyes dog collar! Get that poser out of there!

 

[thatbox]

Wait, so is there no Blood Gulch?

 

[MaizeRage25]

This is a must. Anyone who isn't playing Halo 3 is an auto-delete.

I need to trim my list down anyway.

 

[JoeyJojoShabadoo]

i'm super hyped for halo 3, but the opening cinema...did not impress

Spoiler

how did Johnson and Arbiter get to earth before cheif when he left on the prophet's ship before them? why isn't this leaving off at the end of Halo 2?

Uprising maybe?

 

[Zzoram]

I think Valhalla might have replaced it, but I'm not sure.

 

[Deadly Monk]

Nope. But DLC sooner rather than later. I'll pay 800 points for 3 maps.

If one of those is Coag 2...

Opening Scene Spoilers:

I don't necessarily think they were there first. MC was knocked out, no knowing for how long. Maybe I'm wrong, I wasn't paying that much attention to the timeline of events.

 

[Eric WK]

But the good thing is that, according to Frank, they have a lot of other interesting things lined up for DLC too.

GIANT. SOCCER. BALL. FROM. METROPOLIS. FOR. FORGE.

Just one more week (and sooner than that for some)

Hopefully for Forge as well as maybe new options?
