I started playing Halo 2 online August of last year. I am proof that you can come in to game thats almost 2 years old and become a very good player; if that game has an excellent matchmaking system.

Never forget the game that showed the right way how to do an online console game. I only wish it did not take 3 years for a game to finally surpass it.

Call your Gamestop. Mine said that the 9 p.m. thing was just to speed things up, but that everyone will get theirs at midnight, regardless of when they got there.

I also lost my receipt. Does this matter at all? From what I remember of the preorder(it was a lonnnng time ago) they took down all my personal information.

Yep, mine is opening at 9pm so people can line up to pay it off. You get a wrist band if you do, then at midnight you can just walk into the store and quickly get your copy before everyone else. I'm guessing there will be a line before 9 though.

What are my chances of getting a copy from Gamestop without a reserve tonight? Typically they get a shitload of extras for big games, but I'm a bit nervous.


If you want the regular or collector's I am sure you will be fine. If you are looking for the LE, I am thinking you need to hit Wal-Mart or Best Buy.
 
So I'm sitting in line right now, jacking WiFi from Panera Bread. There are only a few people here, but it's fun so far.

Anything interesting happen in today?

Regular Edition; you should be able to get this with hardly any problem at all. Collector's Edition; eh, you'd be extremely lucky to get one and that's providing you get a decent spot in line beforehand. Legendary Edition; you better leave soon, get a spot in line, and pray to God you're able to get one of these. If you do in fact get one without preordering at an Eb Games/Gamestop, consider yourself blessed.

Wait, opening at 9pm? You have to wait in a line to pay off the game before midnight? You can't just show up willy nilly?

So... is there any chance of Halo1 and 2 singleplayer missions as DLC?

They should update Halo 1 and 2 with the Halo 3 engine.

They wouldn't even have to do part 2!
ZING-A-DING-DING!

My Gamestop has it all in their computer, no need for a receipt.

Yep, mine is already paid off but I have to show up at 9pm to get a wrist band. I'm positive there will be a line so I'll probably just hit up the bar across the street until it dies down.

**just called them and they said they're doing the "pre-ring-up" between 9 and midnight** so hopefully the line will go really fast at midnight.

Hey Eric, you wouldn't happen to live in Pennsylvania? My local Gamestop has a Panera Bread right next to it.

This makes no sense. Say I go up there at 6pm my time and pay it off, why wouldn't they just give me a wristband at that point?

I know, it's bonkers... actually it's not a wristband, it's just a ticket, but it's not even numbered. So I don't get it. The whole idea was to get everyone to pay it off early so the line would move quick at midnight but this whole 9pm business doesn't make sense.

Beseda!! Campaign coop as soon as I get it! :P

I'm just sitting here listening to Truth And Reconciliation Suite, I wish I had this NOW :D

Oh, umm, sure...
 
Looks like I'm going to have to whore myself out on the streets of Providence tonight, I still need to get some more money in order to buy it...
 
That latest live action vid was pretty damn cool.

Great sound fx, nicely directed action (intelligible yet visceral) but you do see where some of Halo's art doesn't translate all too well to film. The Brutes look like giant, lumbering ewoks. Not very scary.

Yeah. That's idiotic of Gamestop. I'm gonna head up there pretty soon and find out what the deal is, though. If anything changes I'll let the thread know...

Are you by chance at Pompano Mall in Florida? The Eb there has a Panera Bread right next to it. (Where I ordered my copy too)

Edit - Nevermind lol, apparently there is a lot of Panera Breads next to Gamestops.

Mmm...Panera...

Now I'm hungry. Thank you, kind sir!
 
For those who will experience the glories of Halo 3 coop on Xbox Live tonight, here's some good news to report:

This morning I met up with one of my friend's from the UK who I believe frequents this forum...at any rate, I played online coop with two of his buddies who also live on Her Majesty's island and the connection was almost entirely flawless. We played through my (soon to be everyone's) two favorite levels and then the last level in collection efforts and lag was practically nonexistent.

I also got a chance to play some matchmaking with Mr. NeXuSDK and that was also fun, despite being eviscerated on Last Resort with Shotty/Sniper, something that in my opinion comes up way too frequently alongside the beta maps in matchmaking currently. It's fun the first few times, but after a while, it becomes grating. Can't wait for you guys to join us online!
 
I was just flipping the channel, and caught CNN Europe showing a replay of Tsavo Highway - it's everywhere I look damnit!

This game is huge, and I can't wait any longer! :(
