That's the worst fucking question ever. You might as well time travel back to 1942 and ask the guard outside Auschwitz where the local Temple is.

Maybe I'll do that!

GS: What are some fun behind-the-scenes factoids around the making of the level?

TG: Early versions of Construct had a much greater elevation difference between the two levels, and Banshees fighting between the levels figured prominently in our concepts. When we got to playing it, though, the elevation difference made any engagement between the levels difficult (or impossible), and around the time of our public beta, we made some significant changes to the Banshee that made it very hard to use on the level. Ultimately, we tightened up the level to place a greater focus on infantry combat and zone control.

Is the Banshee easier to maneuver since the beta?

 

[Adam Blade]

He thinks it means "roll the dice"

So what do you think it means?

 

[Calm Killer]

Wow....construct....looks annoying.....to me....pretty but...annoying...

Difficulty and length?

 

[joshlee]

Hmmmm.... I'm waiting now.

"Thank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Linda. How may I assist you today?
Justin: Hi I'm trying to find out if my order will be going out either today or tommorrow? and overnight.
Linda: Hi! Thanks for contacting us. How can I help you today?
Linda: Let me take a look into that......one moment please.
Justin: Seems theres some confusiong oing around about when this item will ship and just need some clarification hopefully.
Linda: You order has been charged and verified and it has already been scanned on 9/19. It should be shipped soon. Please kindly note that it takes us 1-2 business days to process an order before shipment.
Justin: Alright. Well I've heard from others that are contacting newegg via the livechat, and I'm hearing a few things. One that even if it gets shipped out today or tommorrow, that whoever the carrier is will be strictly told not to deliver it till 9/25, is this true?
Linda: One moment please, checking......."

HMMMMMM

My rep, Christina, said that it indeed wouldnt ship till the 25th. so i canceled.

 

[meddow]

Didn't you just get it this morning?

Thoughts?

Did you play on Heroic?

Normal in co op.

as for my thoughts, id rather not get banned, halo 2.5 is all i can say (1player wise)

Mplayer still good, forge good.

For those of you doubting me that m0dus works at SDF. Come join me in ownage.

Here is a link to a thread there showing an admin telling the forums that his site will review Halo 3: http://www.ps3nix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2081

You will see the admin name as "monkeymagic" with a screwed up avatar. Read monkeymagic's posts a couple scrolls down. Here's one of monkeymagic's posts:

Sladey - we played Bioshock, Lair and Warhawk.

Since we have some doubters, we'll either take photos for proof or make an accompanying video review.

Rest assured, we'll be as fair and balanced as usual.

Now scroll down a bit to a poster named Gutsman and Disaprove and look at who they both quoted. Hmm. See the original name above the quote ? Yeah.

He just changed his name and avatar once he found out that he's been here and there.

 

[TrueReligion]

so why the fuck is every rep telling us different things?
Are they doing it on purpose? :lol

Shoulda played on heroic so its not so easy..but everyone is entitled to their opinion either way.

 

[alexh]

The Pamida here is not selling it.

 

[TrueReligion]

I heard the ending was fantastic. This game definitely lived up to the hype.
For those of you saying it's Halo 2.5: are you playing the same game, because everyone is praising the game.

Its not the difficulty thats the problem, its the game, Its HALO 2, I played this 3 years ago and this is coming from a very big halo geeeek

 

[alexh]

oh snap

GREAT

way to go meddow.

 

[Quincey]

so 7-11 is selling halo 3? if they are i might try them later tonight.

I tried earlier, they had no clue what i was talking about at first and then when he found out what i was talking about he said i can't get it till the 25th because they wont be getting their shipment in till that day. He told me he could take my phone number and leave 60 dollars and he would call me when they came. I promptly said no way in hell.

 

[DrBo42]

oh snap

Yeah, I think you should play on heroic and solo.

 

[Sandman42]

I'm pretty sure there are some new armour variants in those screenshots.

 

[J-Rzez]

I can't wait for this to hit now... I'm not too too big into many FPS, but Halo is one that I am, and the hype is settling in... I can't wait to see all the crazies out at the midnight sale of this...

 

[WickedLaharl]

LOL i kept my order

****: hello i've heard that this item will not be shipping until the 24-25th. is this true?
Salina: The order may ship sooner, however if delivery would normally be before 09/25 it will be held until 09/25.
****: what about the overnight shipping that i paid for? it was rather expensive and i would like to keep my order but if it isn't shipping soon that doesn't seem right
Salina: For this inconvenience, we can offer a credit of $18.03 for the shipping costs.
****: that would be fine. and will the delivery make it to me on the 25th then?
Salina: Yes, it will be held for delivery on 09/25.
****: thank you. that is all i needed.
Salina: Thank you for visiting. Have a good evening.
****: you do the same!
Salina: Thank you! )

I'd rather hear Halo 1,5 rather than Halo 2,5, gameplay-wise anyway.

 

[Darkman M]

LOL i kept my order

Good deal either way, newegg charhes 119.99 for legendary which i was getting at eb games for 129.99 plus theres no tax.

 

[Domino Theory]

Now that doesn't make much sense...

How so ?

 

[SlasherJPC]

Ok so here is the rest of the convo. I sorta got pissed when they said they'd have to see if they can cancel my order.

Linda: One moment please, checking.......
Linda: It will not delivered to you until 9/25.
Justin: and why is that?
Linda: The orders are placed at anytime before the 24th, the product will be delivered to the customers on the 25th.
Justin: Alright then can I please cancel my order.
Linda: Please hold on for a while, I am checking...
Justin: Alright thanks. I haev been charged already even though the product IS NOT shipping anytime soon, so I'd appreciate canceling my order and getting a refund since my order cannot be delivered before then.
Linda: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Linda: I will try to contact our related department and request them to cancel this order for you.
Linda: Once I receive any feedback, I will update you as soon as possible.
Justin: Yeah its definetly an inconvenience when all day people have been told these copys of halo 3 would ship out tonight if order by 12:00 pm PST.
Justin: Now were hearing otherwise. Yes, how will you get in contact with me concerning this?
Linda: I will contact you via your login email address.
Justin: When will I hear back from you by?
Linda: Once I receive the feedback, I will let you know at once. It may take 1-2 business days."


and then the typical ending conversation followed.

I understand that everyone is allowed to have an opinion but Normal and co-op? Come on, that has to be epic fail as a gamer.

 

[Domino Theory]

Just that he changed his name...

Why not ? I viewed that exact thread a couple days ago thinking "WTF why is SDF reviewing Halo 3 ? Or better yet, how ?" and saw that the name of the admin was "m0dus" with the Halo 3 Believe ad as his avatar. He then posted that whole "We played BioShock , Lair, Warhawk" stuff and was quoted by a couple people. Now he just changed his name, but his original name still applies in the quotes from a couple days ago. You can even see one other person saying:

LMAO!!! I sorry. I meant m0dus. Guys will get pissed that he gets SDF in their Halo 3.

[meddow]

The game is the same as number 2, and at one point in it you will be borded out of your head for 10 mins flat, and do you like the colour orange, i hope you do........

Regardless of that fact, what exactly is it going to take to impress you people?
The beta had amazing graphics, You must be playing on an RCA 13 inch Tv/VCR combo.
