A couple more quickies. The winnar of the 'hail to the chief contest will be announced
soon. As the thread has exploded in size, and I fear I may have missed some pics, I am
going to ask that those who have created entries PM them to me ASAP. Teh winnar will
be announced shortly after (I'll give it another day or so for them to come 'flooding' in ;-) )

Grazie. And I hope more than three people entered. If I had any artistic skills worth mentioning I would have given it a shot. I hate to see Modus's hard work get largely overlooked (in this instance).
 
I have 2 friends playing Halo 3 on Xbox Live. I'm surprised by their modesty. If I had Halo 3 I'd be sending invites constantly to all my friends.

Well Thats not to say those who entered didn't spend a lot of time working on their entry...
 
We have tested the biggest game ever to be released on the XBOX360 or infact maybe the biggest video game release in the history of video games Halo 3 - 360 (Preorder) , Halo 3 Limited Edition - 360 (Preorder) and Halo 3 Legendary Edition with Halo Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI Helmet! - 360 (Preorder) on our PAL XBOX360 and can confirm (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) IT IS REGION FREE. Version tested was limited edition but we assume it doesn't matter as all versions are the same other than the bonus content!!

And,
We just wanted to inform customers that Halo 3 preorders will be shipping out on Monday Sept 24th one day ahead of street date.

Once it gets past the intro, Firefox crashes.

I'm thinking it wants me to use IE.


YOU WIN AGAIN, MICROSOFT.

I'm using Firefox and it works. So far its pretty cool. There are two pages on Campaign Scoring that are pretty informative.

EDIT: Wolffen, get shots of the 2nd and 3rd pages of Campaign Scoring.

Hmm, "sol-diers" in the character section under Master Chief. And also "weigh almost 1000 pounds"... what is this, the time of Charlemagne?

Something tells me that text was formatted to fit somewhere else, and that's why there are so many unnecessary line breaks in the middle of words.

I'm sure that could be the case, and I hope we see some worthy entries. But Peter Moore plays Guitar Hero and in 30 seconds there are 427 photoshops on GAF. . .

Anyway, who am I to complain? I at least could have found a squash or something at the supermarket that resembled Mister Chief. I'm worthless.

MNOLNIR Mark VI armor weighs about 800 lbs thanks to its alloy metals, energy management system and strength augmentation processes. Thankfully, Spartan-II's are biologically and genetically enhanced as well, otherwise it would crush them into pieces.

I'm approximately 1/3 through the game on Legendary solo and let me say that playing by one's self in Legendary is a super bitch sometimes, particularly on foot. There's a few levels I don't even want to imagine.
Tsavo Highway
, the portion that Sketch demoed Saved Films in took me almost an hour because there were like 5-6 Phantom dropships and like a net count of 50+ Brutes in that battle...nah, easily more.

I ran out of ammo a few times, their carbine is the only thing which is effective against them in such a large open space. However, when they break wind, you can easily perish. I finally tossed a trip mine down and hot tailed it the fuck out of there on a Wraith. Not easy but it was sure as hell rewarding. The power of the weapons and the genius of the AI save it from being Halo 2 Legendary ish...

edit: 3rd pic is the bottom of page 3 of campaign scoring. Pg 2 has one line missing, I think: Wraith, Heavy Vehicle, 200 pts.

Btw, I'm running XP Pro SP2 with Firefox 2.0.0.6. Silverlight is working fine so far...
edit2: in case you didn't notice, click the pics for hi-res.

Points awarded for downing human vehicles? Wtf....
Click to expand...


Nice stealth edit. ;) I can think of two reasons for that (spoilering for speculation, as I don't have the game yet):
(1) Brutes hijacking vehicles. Or (2), Flood using human vehicles.
 
Wow in that gamevideos unboxing i have just realized that the legendary edition comes with a really nice looking tin! Well it looks like i will be fulfilling my Cat Hat preoder after all.:D
