(don't actually have the game, going on previous comments by luke/frankie):
Regardless of difficulty, respawns work like Halo 1 (teammate safe/not-in-combat). H2 kick-you-back-to-the-checkpoint style is only available via activating a skull.

Alright, cheers. I'll probably end up playing on Heroic (Unless there's an objection about it), so thanks for the input, Flesh.

Oh, and I totally dig that Ryu Hasabuya armour. My favourite character from Dead or Alive, so I'll probably be using that when / if I unlock the full set. The Mark IV marathon armour looks pretty cool too, though the body of it doesn't really sway well with me.

Will our HUD design change depending on the different helmets we wear? The monitors in Forge, not to mention the Elites, have a slight variation on HUD aesthetics. So I'm assuming variations like the CQB and EVA will have different markings?

I am going to be destroyed on tuesday.

My school formal is on monday night. So i think i'm going to wake up at like 10 go to the city and get the game. Go back to bed sleep all day then play all night and the next day...

I cannot play games with a bad hungover, it seriously fucking kills me.

In Australia btw.

Oh... but what if i have a lady friend over, that will be embarrassing.
Well, at least i'm not getting the legendary edition.

 

[Buttonbasher]

One more sleep. ONE.

HARDCORE! Lets just hope the bears don't come back...

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

This is probably the most depressing thing I have ever seen.

This will take your mind off that.

 

[Sullichin]

I'll probably skip one or both of my classes on Tuesday.


(Where "probably" = "absolutely")

Co-op.

 

[EMBee99]

You've cursed us all.

Time to break out the Bat-bear repellent.

 

[MrDaravon]

This will take your mind off that.

Or better yet, something super cute.

 

[voltron]

How many hours until the review embargo lifts? Its 2:42 on Sunday afternoon in Australia.

 

[Killer]

Any 1 want to play co-op or multi?

 

[Sanjuro]

I can't find my last skull....but I found Goatse.

A long time. I think it'll be around 12-2AM for AEST.

Also, 1 day 9 hours 14 minutes until Halo 3. Can't wait. Can't bloody wait.

 

[armubaba]

I DO!


Too bad I don't have the game.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Thanks dude. Do you know how long it's going to take to clean up my melted heart?

To damn adorable.

 

[MrDaravon]

Little over 14 hours if I'm reading it right (according to OP it's noon Sunday US Pacific Time, which is -8 GMT IIRC).

To damn adorable.

:lol

You can thank my wife for that one.

Well I got an automated call today that said it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT I get there by 9pm. And then before it hung up, it said see you at 9pm. So I guess I'll be there at 9pm.

I'm planning on riding by around 9pm just to check things out. I live in a small town so I'm not sure how "devoted" the fans are here. Supposedly there are 200+ people that pre-ordered at the one I did. If nobody is there, I'll come back around 10:00-10:30 to stay there for good.

 

[voltron]

LOLOLOL

Luke was that final surprise you mentioned last week the recent Vidoc, or was it something else, still in-coming?

 

[Isurus]

Random question, but do any of you have a capture card that you recommend?

 

[Costanza]

Intensity Pro by Blackmagic. Best one for the buck.

:lol You could always smudge a little bit of vicks under your nose so you don't smell them.

 

[MrDaravon]

LOLOLOL

For some reason this reminded me of Crab Battle, which I just went and watched again, it's still funny :lol

Also does anyone have any recommendations on a reasonably price EXTERNAL capture card? I know there's a fair amount of them out there and that some are supposed to be pretty good, but I don't know which.

That's a really cool screenshot. Looks like he is choking him out.

 

[Buttonbasher]

That's incredible. A melee right? And they walked through. That's so awesome.

 

[Domino Theory]

Hey, so, that Marathon armor permutation = HAWT.

And quick question: Is Infection in matchmaking ?

 

[Kritz]

what time are you going to get in line??

I'm heading to EBGames at around 10:30 with a friend. Granted there's not much demand for videogames in Tasmania (Population of about 202k in Hobart). I would be leaving later, but I'm planning to grab something to eat while I'm there (Assuming anything's open at that time). I'm planning to take my MP3 player and PSP while I'm there, so I shouldn't get too bored.

I'm going to drive by every half hour starting at 8:00 cause I'm wild.

You should TOTALLY egg the people in line.

 

[Router]

Every dream since starting Halo 3 2 days ago has had the awesome score playing in the background. :lol

 

[Buttonbasher]

It would be pretty funny to drive by with a megaphone and just keep driving by sticking out of the window. Looking like I'm about to say something.

A question about EB and scratched retail Legendary Editions:

If we get the LE, and the disc was loose, and it has scuff and scratches on it, will EB return it that night? Or will they even return it at all?

LE discs should be fine.

What do you mean scratched Legendary Edition?

The discs are in normal DVD cases which come suspended in the plastic case above the helmet.

Edited for clarification:

HAY GUYZ. CALL YOUR GS/EB AND ASK THEM WHAT THEIR PROCEDURE IS! Mine is asking all customers to arrive at 9:00, pay off their preorder if they haven't already, and then take a number. Then you can go home if you want. At midnight, they'll have everyone line up according to the number they received.

I, for one, am arriving at 8:00 to grab a good number, then going out to dinner with my g/f, then coming back at 11:45.

 

[HugBasket]

My GS is just having a line. They said the line will be up at 9:00 at night (normal closing hour). I'll be there at 7 after I fill up on Buffalo Snackers. 5 hours! Anybody want to recommend a book for me to read?

Think that's how mine is too. Saving a 1up yours and an EGM Live for the line.

Halo: The Fall of Reach

Looks like a tender kiss on the back of the neck.

Halo: The Fall of Reach

I'd rather print out fan fiction.
