I been playing on live with everything to do with the mic and voice muted, somehow halo 2 feels less hectic.

Unless it's a team-based game whenever I'm playing on Live with random people I always mute everyone. Makes the experience much better.

Dear ******* *****,

Thank you for your order ******** for Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

This latest installment of the hugely successful Halo series is due to be with
you on Wednesday the 26th September. To make sure that we get this title to
everyone who ordered it for release day we have had to start our picking and
packing process a little earlier than we would for our normal pre-orders. As a
result, we may look to authorise your credit/debit card from today.

In the meantime, prepare yourself for the epic conflict between the Covenant,
the Flood, and the entire human race as the saga reaches its dramatic,
pulse-pounding climax!

Kind regards

The Gameplay Team

Whoah. Just checked my order, it's legit.

 

[DrBo42]

Why in the hell does Newegg have this 5 part process if they are not going to update it? When I spoke with their online rep he said that it was already packed and scanned, ready to ship. But the web page still says step 3. ARGGGHHHHHHH

It takes time for it to update. This is how it happens all the time. It will ship, BELIEVE.

I'm going to phone them up and tell them about their error. If I can't play Halo 3 early... no one can.

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Yeah, it's been like for a while. I can see them on my box, though.

The achievements are really good. Unlike a lot of shooters, they're actually... umm... achievable. :lol

Definately. I'm really happy they chose the ones they did.

It felt good to not get them all on my first playthrough, but to know that they're definately achievable over time. Replay value on this game is just unfathomable.

 

[Captain N]

two quick questions...anyone know what day we'll have for Halo night?

 

[joelseph]

I cringe everytime another person in this thread calls Newegg. Logic is not with this thread.

 

[DrBo42]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[The Elite]

Whoah. Just checked my order, it's legit.

I'm pretty sure this is the NewEGG situation too. They are just getting shit ready because of the massive amount of orders.

 

[DKo5]

You know it's big when the IW guy is asking about ship times. :lol

I'm allowed to be a fanboy!

 

[StriKeVillain]

I hope Iron Man tanks at the box office.



And it gets 5% at RottenTomatoes.

don't worry, they currently "dont have a sales department" :lol

I received an email to say as much, but I can beleive, right? :3

Quite possibly, the most fitting gif at the moment:

I swear I will join all your Warhawk games and teamkill you all day if this goes down!

You would ruin it for everyone here but you would also ruin it for everyone on gamefaqs. I think your karma would balance nicely.

 

[Gowans]

:lol :lol :lol
I sent a text over live to homez saying I hated him for having H3 and I have had the most apologetic response from him. :lol

Have they fixed stat tracking yet?

 

[DrBo42]

NO. We need this to ship. Most of us have been spoiled, this is the balance. We MUST get the game early. Karma demands it.

 

[The Elite]

That makes it all the more tempting to do. I wonder how many internet message boards would hate me. All that hate would only make me more powerful.

Nope. One of the many reasons it is sitting on my shelf right now.

 

[The Crawf]

Whoah. Just checked my order, it's legit.

I have exactly the same, but have you checked your dispatch date, before today it said 24th/25th, now the date has gone???!!!

 

[The Elite]

Nope. One of the many reasons it is sitting on my shelf right now.

Same, I go up about four or five levels and either have my stats reset or they don't move at all.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

:lol :lol :lol
I sent a text over live to homez saying I hated him for having H3 and I have had the most apologetic response from him. :lol

Yup, I sent him a message earlier just with 'WANKER' repeated as many times as I could, and he sent back a voice message thanking me for the post about Argos, and to apologise. :lol

 

[Jirotrom]

Well my store has about 500 halo 3 preorders, lets say I can't even walk into the back room at the store:lol :lol

I felt horrible last night when all you sent me was " " :lol

 

[Dirtbag]

Please be aware that Newegg does not deliver packages on Saturdays or Sundays. Delivery attempts will be made on weekdays only.

So its friday or nothing.

 

[HugBasket]

Well I just got two friend requests from two people with gamertags that spoil the ending. Becoming a hermit just seems so appealing at times like this.

 

[DrBo42]

Come on baby...give me a tracking number.

 

[The Elite]

Well I just got two friend requests from two people with gamertags that spoil the ending. Becoming a hermit just seems so appealing at times like this.

There at it again.

 

[Eric WK]

Sorry to hear. It was pretty bad last night. We were all hit.

 

[DrBo42]

Just so you guys know, those of you who got hit with alarming GTs, you're still OK.

 

[Tieno]

Is it me or are the Bungies very silent atm? No even Stinkles or LukeSmith are in here. Must be very busy! Feels lonely

Well I just got two friend requests from two people with gamertags that spoil the ending. Becoming a hermit just seems so appealing at times like this.

I wish you would have seen my warning thread. Also, after not checking the thread for a while it's best to check the OP first. Ghaleon has put up warnings in it regarding those friend requests. I always check it in the morning.

 

[Dirtbag]

i can see i'll be getting alot of work done for the rest of the week..... :lol

 

[UnholySpectacle]

Well my store has about 500 halo 3 preorders, lets say I can't even walk into the back room at the store:lol :lol

I went into a local EB yesterday and all of the legendary editions were taking up the back half of the store covered in garbage bags. The stock room was filled to the brim with regular and limited edtions. The Legendary editions were completely covering the XB and GC sections, not that they see a lot of sales but it is still funny.

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Just so you guys know, those of you who got hit with spoiler GTs...

I wouldn't post that. I want to say something to make it better for these people, but anything I say will just make it worse for those who don't want to know what happens.

 

[HugBasket]

I wish you would have seen my warning thread. Also, after not checking the thread for a while it's best to check the OP first. Ghaleon also put up warnings in it regarding those friend requests.

It is stupid but I was already spoiled so those GTs did nothing for me. Well, I've only been partially spoiled and those GTs had everything I knew.

 

[tissot]

I went at a Zellers and Wal Mart, and they both don't even HAVE the game in stock. I'm in Quebec, though.

Went to a Zellers here in Toronto just a few minutes ago and was pretty close to getting it. Asked the lady if they had Halo 3, she says yes and she starts searching the glass case for the game. She had trouble finding it and says she saw the game here last night, then she looks up and sees the poster 09/25/07 and tells me it comes out on the 25th.

 

[Du2andal]

So its friday or nothing.

If it ships today, shouldn't we have it tomorrow?

 

[Dirtbag]

If it ships today, shouldn't we have it tomorrow?

in theory yes, but in practice....

I really dont care if I get the game monday daytime instead of midnight. So if I don't have it by friday I'm cancelling.

OH Shit! You were that close. I positioned myself each time so the clerk couldn't see the poster behind me. But they didn't have the game yet. I swear I saw some boxes at Walmart that looked like it, but I guess they knew.

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Ugh. A lot of the spoilers out there have no idea what they're talking about. I'm serious. I won't say which ones, but I've seen more than one that are just completely bogus. It's obvious that the person hasn't played the game. Don't worry, guys. You have to play through the game and... it's just obvious that these people (while right or wrong) haven't played the game. I can't say why, but... they haven't.

 

[NekoFever]

Whoah. Just checked my order, it's legit.

My order still shows up as preordered but it's not showing a dispatch date anymore and they've taken the money from my account. I got the same email as you about an hour ago.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

If it ships today, shouldn't we have it tomorrow?

Should, being the key word. Newegg needs to update their order page. At least I got a kick out of Newegg crashing a little earlier.

 

[Lakitu]

I'm going to be watching my GAME Halo 3 like a hawk.

Still STATUS: PREORDER But I just got this e-mail from them:

Halo 3 is nearly here!

You guys are smoking some serious crack if you think Newegg is going to ship Halo 3 and break the street date.
