Ah so something must be wrong with my 360 I guess, but I can access other MP games fine like the COD4 Beta.

Well unless you like Team slayer (that all every one of the 338 ppl were playing last night, i wouldnt worry about it)

also nearly every 2nd match we played for nearly 5 hours was shotty + sniper combo :D

Can I try joining you instead of you joining me?
 
UK paper the Sun gace Halo 3 a great full page preview with a lovely screen.
Nothing that would appeal to the hardcore but a lot of softcore gamers read this paper.

Apparently Timberlake has a Halo room.

Still says theres 40 peeps online, but its taken ages to join a game

Not working for me. Guess they're doing something to it or the servers aren't properly up everywhere yet.
 
I watched the new VidDoc on the Marketplace last night and it got me really psyched for Saved Films and Forge. I'm still looking forward to the Campaign more than anything, but the VidDoc really got me excited. I loved the part where the guy Gravity Hammers the oncoming Warthog, and then sticks it with a Plasma Grenade.

Hmmm, seems the Plasma grenade has had an upgrade from the Beta! Used to take 2-3 sticks on vehicles to get that effect!

Do take into account that the warthog also got hit headon by the Gravity Hammer first, so we can't be sure.

Good point. That may be an annoyance as trying to get 2 sticks on a warthog with a gunner is rather... complicated!
 
2 things about that gif. I love the "hop" as the hammer connects. You can practically feel the power. Also, I love the physics of the warthog, how it can drive with only one tire on the ground. Even though it drives appropriately crazy.
 
I'm sure this has been answered before, but I havn't found an answer yet. About the potential game type with two teams, and two monitors, spawning items for their team, etc. Does the map's currency get split between the monitors, so one guy can't just spawn the most expensive items right off the bat, with the other left with nothing?

It's split.

I just love how the green Elite just stands there like it was his plan all along.

I wonder how quick the transition is from any weapon to the hammer. Like in Halo 2 you could have the sword as secondary and whip that bad boy out in a split second. Now I remember hearing that the sword in 3 has a slight delay, does the same apply for the Gravity Hammer?

Just curious because the last second you could get swatted away like a fly without even seeing that hammer in hand.

Anyways, I felt guilty after reading my response because I sounded like a degenerate - there's no ill will between Ghaleon and I, nor any of my other friends on GAF. Much love from me and I can't wait till you join us!

Man Homez I can't wait to play Forge with you :D

You should see what I can do on Sandtrap, deleted everything on the map that I could, then piled fusion coils inside the elephant, and when I ran out of them I put in a load of vehicles like the mongoose, a ghost, and a couple of scorpions. I then played about with setting the whole thing off, from standing atop the elephant and grenading it, to firing at a fusion coil with the spartan laser from a downed pelican. In the end, the most prolific way came when I obtained a Brute Chopper and boosted inside a little gap in the elephant, which caused a monumental explosion and my Spartan to catapult across the map in a blaze of technicolour glory.

Great Gif:lol
Can someone do a Gif of the Warthog landing after its multiple barrel rolls? It's about 50secs into the Vidoc. It would be appreciated.

There's one made already, you'll be hard pressed to find it in this thread though.

EDIT: I stand corrected! :D

I don't know if this has been posted yet (just checked the OP) but Australia OXM has given the game a...

10/10

Wow nice :) Is that the first non-famitsu review?

*edit* BTW I need more GAFers to play with come launch day! I added a few of you already, but anyone feel free to add me. GT: pr0xima (thats a zero)
 
UK GAFfers.

I know it was said today about Woolworths being on to us, however...

My brother lives in Dumfries, and his workmate just bought a copy of Halo 3 at Woolworths. My brother just missed out, as they sold out :o
 
Well, just got back from the local store, and they ain't budging - at all.

Not even to someone they know personally - Microsoft really put the fear in them, damn...

But, I didn't leave empty-handed!

Picked up the official Strategy Guide for Halo 3, which I read was also street-dated in the States - but I guess it's either not enforced up here, or they didn't know - woohoo! I still have it sealed, but it says that it has exclusive art in it, which is why I bought it mainly, plus the overhead views of the Campaign and multiplayer levels as well...

It also says that it's spoiler-free, so that's good to know when I flip through the multiplayer map section, and accidentally stumble into the Campaign section by mistake... :lol

I'll most likely only look at the maps that are officially released, I still want to be surprised when I get the game, even for multiplayer...
 
Serious question: are we going to have to make a separate saved films/screenshots thread? I'm not sure how well it will work all in this thread.
