Does anyone know WHY stores got their shipments in so early? You would think that if Bungie wants to prevent early leaks and spoilers that they would try to get the copies in just days before Sept 25th.

Or is it that they have to ship so many copies that they have to send some boxes early to get enough copies to stores in time?

Lots of shipments are going out for the biggest release ever. You want to get them to stores early so they can plan everything out and know they have enough in for preorders.

Microsoft and Nintendo teaming up? No...it's the Halo theme done using Mario Paint's music game.

Ahahahah! That is super!

 

[beerbelly]

Oh.my.god. I watched a leaked video. The sound/music, lighting and crazy physics makes this game. You've got to see to believe.

 

[Havok]

All of these people with the game and no one has posted any pics of the last 3 maps, guess they're too busy playing. *sigh*

Beware all ye who do not want to see an unannounced multiplayer map. All spoiler tags following this will not be a joke, and the link after them does show a picture of an unannounced multiplayer map. I promise. Don't think I'm joking. Is that enough of a spoiler warning for everyone?

This is Construct. I tried to get a wide angle shot of it from the video, where you could get a feel for the map's aesthetics. Its definitely Forerunner in nature, and has the same sort of feel that the innards of The Silent Cartographer or Assault on the Control Room had, lots of ramps and the sort of brushed metal and gray stone walls.

I found it at gametrailer's. It's a user video. I don't want to get banned so you'll have to search there. It's one of the newest user movies uploaded there.

Tivoed. Looks like fun.

It is multiplayer. 1 person on a couple of maps testing grenades and weapons.

I don't mind seeing any spoiler videos, I'm particularly interested in the leaked ending video, if anyone can pm me a link (or risk posting it here with spoiler tags) I would appreciate it.

I could never read the ending of a book before I start the beginning. I don't know how others can stand things like this. But hey, if that's your thing, whatever.

Halo 3 Commercial: "Believe" with Tears for Fears' Mad World

Everyone knew this was coming. I don't know if this has been posted or not, because this thread is gigantic. But, let me tell you, IT IS AWESOME!

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Has anyone heard of or had any of the Halo 3 themed Doritos?

I've seen reports that they actually exist, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I'd love to pop open a bag, and then chug it all down with some gamefuel come Sept 25th.

Anyone?

My bad, just a gamevideo.com video.

i just saw the gametrailers user video, he showed the spartan customization, forge and the map list+new map

there are 10 different spartan heads that you unlocking achievements and you can change body parts too, forge is a huge FLOP and there are 11 maps

I'm a spoiler whore, tbh, it started with the hype surrounding the recent Star Wars films and it has continued for me with the new books that come out and video games, such as Halo.

I won't be able to play until December due to holding off buying a 360 at that point, so I would rather I spoil myself or some asshat doing so over IM or in real life.

The person showing it had no clue what he was doing, the entire video fucking sucked TBH. Three clowns trying to be funny while walking around empty maps hitting the ground with a gravity hammer, nice one guys.

I agree, but I'm simply complimenting the song's use with this particular ad. I don't give a damn about anything else made with it, other than that Gears of War ad.

Wish people would atleast use the good version of Mad World if they were going to add it to something.

Spoiler

forge is a flop because you can't change terrain, i wouldnt call that a map editor like people have been calling it lately, its just an advanced custom match, that you can interact playing, its not bad, its good actually but it could be A LOT better, this thing had potential

 

[Ramirez]

You didn't like the butt fuck Master Chief joke?

"Dude c'mon I'm trying to hold the camera still!"

Ugh.

Luir, Forge has been know for months now to be nothing more than an editor of spawns, weapons, etc. It was never touted as a complete map editing tool in the way of terrain deformation or anything like that.

And yea, he said something about not knowing there were 4 grenades because he didn't spend his life online or something, too busy coming up with buttsecks jokes I guess.

 

[MaX_PL]

oh thats why he said its a flop?

you cant call it a flop because of that you dunce.

no one ever said it was a map editor. not in that respect at least.

and i wouldn't call what those morons were doing using forge to it's "potential".

euh gawd. missed the point of forge.

 

[Falagard]

forge is a huge FLOP

ORLY? Just because some vagina chinned dummy with his frat boy buddies around yelling "Halo 3 sucks" in the background who is quickly flying through the Halo 3 menus doesn't have any idea what Forge is or how to use it?

Try it before you bitch.

We've known from the beginning that you can't edit the terrain in Forge. Big deal. I'd rather have creative gametypes than ten billion crappy fan-made maps.

maybe no one ever said that here in neogaf, i saw a lot of people creating ''halo 3 will have map editor'' topic
and the potential i talked about was about forge itself, not the suckes playing

Spoiler

Forge didnt flop because it was never advertised as a map editor (meaning no terrain change) Is just a gameplay tool that allows you to do things in real time without the need to go to a map editor.

Seriously, you will eat your words once you see its greatness. If you led other people misled you thinking it was a map editor, its not Bungie's fault.
