Yes, I repeat. WHY ARE THERE NO IMPRESSIONS?

There have been quite a few from Vyse and I remember seeing some other post gushing about the graphics in Sierra 117.

Edit: Ghaleon, you might want to insert a notification in the OP clarifying that it is, indeed, OK to play a storebought copy of Halo 3 right now. The question just doesn't seem to die.

Cuz really no one has it yet... lol j/k Yeah come on guys. More impressions. Hows the first level? Is it epic feeling? Can it enpower you with the sperm to make little master chief babys? Please... we need to know.

For those of you who have ordered from Newegg:

When I talked to the rep I had many things made clear to me:

1. Your order will sit at step 3 until they send a tracking number via email which should happen around 7-8pm EST.
2. If you placed your order by Noon PST and used next day FEDEX as your shipping option, you should get it tomorrow. (Unless you were one of the folks who ordered it after they ran out, I'm sorry)


If you really want to confirm your order, use their onlne chat service and they will tell you if it is packed and ready to roll. If you do not receive a tracking number tonight and you ordered before Noon, you have really bad luck.

 

[Lakitu]

They're too busy enjoying the game to bother typing anything up.

Hello my football thread friend.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Come on newegg. Just let us know whats going on.

 

[The Elite]

This thread is flying! I'm sure some of whats been posted has simply been buried here...Perhaps there should be an impressions thread? This one really is moving too fast.

 

[DrBo42]

For those who are getting the game tomorrow. Anyone want to get a co-op playthrough going?

Hello my football thread friend.

High Five!

I'm not getting mine until next Tuesday after work.

 

[homez99]

More impressions: Massive battles, complete ownage, some fun new things, the graphics are very pretty, and I'm really enjoying it. Countless friends are trying to force me to ebay it, but I just love this game too match to do so. I don't want to say too much and turn the thread into the spoiler minefield it was last night.

If I get it tomorrow I'm down.

 

[Orodreth]

WTF MY 360 got the fucking red lights.WTF

My condolences for you and Lamonster. Really bad time to get the RroD.

I repaired mine like 2 weeks ago in time for Bioshock. I´m still worried though (today had a lock up and got shivers down my spine).

Will do, I was waiting for an official statement. I'll add it.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

Happy stress-free gaming to you, premature Halo 3 -owners. Did I mention that you are making me insanely jealous? ;o

 

[got2bekidding]

If I could shop photos, it totally would.

This gif pleases me for some reason, when my cats come to destroy humanity, you will be spared.

Thanks. Hopefully, it will save us from the endless task of digging up the quote.

 

[Diablohead]

I wonder if my mate would play the Halo Night song on the screens at his branch wednesday night, I would LOL a lot if he did so :lol

 

[SlasherJPC]

hmmm....

Hmm mine says UPS next day air saver. I ordered it at 10:58 PST time.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Added clarification over whether you'll be banned from Live if you play Halo 3 early to the OP. (Hint: no.)

 

[Doodlebug]

WTF MY 360 got the fucking red lights.WTF

Microsoft includes console-damaging softwarez on the disc which are activated if Halo 3 is booted prematurely -- confirmed.

On a more serious note, I'm sorry, dude.

 

[UnholySpectacle]

I only checked on FedEx pick up times, I would assume UPS is around the same time.

 

[SlasherJPC]

For everone that had or has their system break down before the game is out. I send you my sympathys.

And this it totally unrelated but how long do you have to post on the GAf to become a member?

Hmm, you have more than 150 posts so I don't know why you're not a Member yet.

 

[alexh]

Anyone else having LIVE problems?

 

[The Crawf]

Mine got sent today too... so they say.

*watches the door like a hawk*

I have the same thing - dont get your hopes up, although it says "sent" it is still in the "Uncompleted Orders" section

150 days or 150 posts. Whichever comes first.

The GAF gods have forsaken me!!!!!!! ehh I'm sure it will happen sooner rather then later.

Okay, just wait for the tracking e-mail. UnholySpectacle's post kind of spelled it all out. Hey, I am anxious to get the game too, but fretting over it isn't going to get it here any sooner. Now, if we don't get e-mails tonight/tomorrow morning, I am going to freak out!

That is me dealing with the NHL 08 AI. Seriously, I'm scared of breaking my 360 controller before the 25th.

Also, does he eventually try to turn his computer off and on again?

It's really impossible to keep up with it. I go to class and come back and I've missed 10 pages...
