But it's better than having a new thread for every new Halo 3 related article... Plus it will get more "game related" in under 24 hours, or 9 for me.

One of the most wild moments of TV. Anyone see that little stint with Adult Swim? They had a really fucked up commercial with that scene in it. Holy shit.

What is that in reference to?

 

[elguerosinfe]

Whoa - I have 157 posts! I'm almost caught up to urk, and I'm beating Cocopjojo by 2. I didn't realize I'm so, umm, hardcore.

What happened to Urk - he's amusing. I'll never forget his playing-H3-while-in-the bathroom-post.

Yeah, most of my posting has been in this thread (And the COD4 thread).

He is hiding from Spoilers. He pops in every once in a while though, when he's not f**king up boxes.

7.5 hours to go here at the beginning of time itself (New Zealand)

I think he's avoiding spoilers. And yeah, he's the funniest poster on GAF, easily.

luv u urk. :lol

Some countries get it earlier due to location. Man, we Americans have been getting hit with a 20 foot Johnson lately. Forza 2 last with no collectors edition and one of the last to get Halo 3. Nonetheless, it is almost here. With that said, I'm happy as fuck.

 

[Darkpen]

I'm guessing this was already posted D:

Also no tin for Bioshock.

25 minutes left on my shift, any idea how to pass the time

something halo 3 related to read would be nice as long as its completely spoiler free

 

[Brannon]

On a more serious note, with less than 23 hours to go until H-day, I wonder if Legendary is enough for 4 hardcore players. Maybe one day Bungie will give us a couple of higher difficulties;

Easy
Normal
Heroic
Legendary

Mythic - Even harder than Legendary, but still not cheap. Also the name harkens to the Bungie of days long past.

Marathon - Same harkening. Heroic with one (1) life (with a twist) and no saves or checkpoints, ever. The twist is that with more than one player, the survivor who makes it to where the next checkpoint should be would trigger revivals of any dead players.

This could totally work. I'm cereal.

Quoting self, so meta. I forgot that since adding extra achievement points is allowed, these could get points attached to them. And we can get the steaktacular achievement in the actual game in the future!

Make it so, Bungie. You Know What To Do (gimme a free cat helm)

AWESOME!

Sorry if late to this, but its almost impossible to catch up to this thread.

I think I read that there is a Mythic skull which increases the difficulty. Dont worry, Bungie's got you covered.

Every time someone talks about how many posts they have in the thread, or how big the thread is, instead of something Halo 3 related, an angel dies. I alway say, when the conversation in a thread turns to how big it is, at length, it's time for it to die (see: the co-op thread).

There's a lot of dead angels at the moment.

Tomorrow is going to be very interesting, for a number of reasons.

 

[Dama]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

I found my first skull

 

[layzie1989]

How long do you guys think it'll take for someone to get all of the cutscenes online? Are there forums somewhere that are dedicated to putting this type of stuff online? Since I'm not going to be getting the game I want to experience the cutscenes

 

[Lefty42o]

2 TVs in your gaming space. Have you been peering into my window and copying me?

i imagine most of us rock the 2 tv set-up lol.

i have a 40 inch 1080p sammy and a 32 inch 720p vizio.

Hey Ghaleon, I have a question that I bet you can answer. Do you know that page that shows your armor pemutation in your profile in B.net? Ok, can you make it so that it also shows your fav weapon or it will always show you holding the AR?

I agree. The meta-thread discussion is far too rampant in Halo threads.

And here I am contributing to it.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Yeah I just got back from hanging out with some guys and read the thread, wondering what I missed, and found...not much. But as you said, onwards!

That m0dus photoshop is one for the ages. :lol

 

[BrLvgThrChmstry]

How about that Meta-Scoring..? woooo.. something else, ain't it?

Meh. I was just sincerely shocked at my post count. I wasn't bragging our anything. Trust me: in 26 hours, the last thing I'm gonna be talking about is post counts.

Good question - I don't actually know. I haven't poked around the site much, since there's some stuff even on the front page that I don't want to see (the Campaign kill ticker lists enemies I didn't know about, so I backed out). Any one else know?

 

[KarishBHR]

I have a quick question about the three days of xbox live free.






Does anyone know exactly when it starts?

Thought it was five? and isn't from the 25th-30th? someone correct me if I'm wrong (Plz)

The picture of your armor is on your main profile page of b.net

FINAL SLEEP ENGAGED for real.

Yeah, there is too much stuff to keep up with. I bet that question has been answered already. BTW I am playing H2 now if anybody wants to join.

WTF you didnt know? Or am I too stupid to get it?

 

[SonOfABeep]

Are legendary editions really going to be that difficult to find?

 

[KarishBHR]

25-30 September.

its three but I want to know if at midnight EST when I get back tomorrow night i will be able to play online

 

[SolidSquirrel]

So uh... Does the "Rouge/Regulator" armor actually exist? God damn it's so ugly... if I saw one of those in matchmaking, I'd get legitimately pissed off.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Are legendary editions really going to be that difficult to find?

Yeah. They're each numbered and from what I've seen theres only room for 6 digits. I would find out if somewhere has it and show up early.

 

[armubaba]

Really, looking through my posts, 90% of all of them have been in Halo threads. :lol

But yeah, how many do I have in this one now?

 

[Eric WK]

Are legendary editions really going to be that difficult to find?

Yes. You might be able to find one at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[got2bekidding]

I probably shouldn't answer this just because I'm guessing, but I would think it would start 12 PST.

 

[kittens]

How about that Meta-Scoring..? woooo.. something else, ain't it?

I'm so excited about it. I think I'll be playing more co-op than MP for this reason alone. I love competing against myself for personal records like in Geometry Wars, or Starfox 64 back in the day.

I wonder if you get point multipliers for not taking hits, or for a certain number of headshots in a row, or anything like that... Having certain skulls activated is supposed to increase point values, right? ohman ohman ohman.

 

[SonOfABeep]

That's not promising.. I suppose I can live with a potentially scratched game. I do really want to watch those HD cutscenes with commentary, but I could do without the helmet.

 

[Toothpick]

I just saw this screenshot of H3 multiplayer http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/screenshot_viewer_popup.aspx?acf=true&ssid=4445

Wow..

Gasp

 

[SonOfABeep]

It's a trap?

And the helmet doesn't do much for me. I'd gladly buy an $80 version with all the discs but no molded chief face nonsense. No offense meant to those who do want the helmet. It is surprisingly large and high quality, I was impressed.

Yeah, skulls add multipliers.. but I'm not all to informed on anything else besides that. But yeah, that is one additional element I am most excited about.

O_O

I was wondering about this. Thankfully I'm feeling more excited than spoiled.

And with that, I think I'll go engage <<FINAL SLEEP PROTOCOL>>, too. See you in a few days, everyone. =]

 

[Miktrebla]

So what time is everyone lining up tomorrow? I got a call from Gamestop telling me it was necessary to get there by 9PM. Do I have to do that?

 

[Eric WK]

Has anyone found out what the spoiler levels of the IGN and Gamespot video reviews are?

I watched the GameTrailers one and didn't come away feeling spoiled, so if they're on par with that I'd be fine.
