Bullocks!! I can't watch it yet.

 

[raptorbaby10]

Have you guys seen the Halo 3 commercial?

Was it only me who wasn't as blown away by it, as say, the Gears of War commercial?

 

[O D I N]

I thought it was better than the Gears commericial, personally.

Now I ask you, did you see all three parts of the "Believe" commercial series?

Cause then it's some of the greatest marketing I've ever seen.

Part1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBCCrOWm9Jc

Part2:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKG1nvV1Wnc

Part3:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnCs46FEtqA


I recommend watching them in that order.

 

[TigerBlade34]

If anyone doesn't mind, do you think we could exchange GTs for co-op/multiplayer/Forge purposes when it comes out? Unless it's against the rules on this forum.

 

[Red Exodus]

You know what's funny? I was so obsessed about getting a 360 I made a GT last year, it's Red Exodus but I don't have a 360 yet. Go figure =/

 

[TigerBlade34]

^Lol, alright. I'll still add you anyways since you'll probably get one close to Halo 3s release. Mines ViewtifulJoe400.

 

[Red Exodus]

The closest possible time I'll get a 360 is in December, unless I choose Wii over 360.

Halo 3 will be good but I'm honestly not overly excited and pumped for it. Halo was a great game but Halo 2 left me very dissapointed. I just don't see Halo as the amazing relic so many claim it to be. The games are completely overrated. Don't get me wrong, the Halo series are good games, but they just aren't legendary. I'm hoping Halo 3 changes that.

 

[Red Exodus]

It's hyped so much because most console shooters are crap. Very few of them make names for themselves so when a good one comes along people recognize it.

The only other ones you really hear of are Gears of War, GRAW, Call of Duty, and maybe Battlefield.

Battlefield is a lot better on the PC when compared to the consoles.

3 is gonna be epic. I'm not saying that just because it's Halo. I'm saying that because of everything that you'll be able to do in that game.

For me, it's all about forge.

 

[Red Exodus]

I heard you can drive mongooses into man-cannons, that sounds awesome.

Forge is gonna be great, probably one of the best things they added to the game.

In forge [if I get online] I plan to drop fusion cores into man cannons so it'll rain explosions.

 

[TigerBlade34]

Edit: Omit.

Yes you can drive the mongoose through the cannon. Did it in the beta.

And then I drove a Warthog through it. ^ ^

I have the game already before release!

[F8X]

What permutation will you be?

I personally think I'm gonna be the CQB but I need to see them all in HD.

edit: I believe this is just referring to head shapes in the game.

EDIT: UPDATED

 

[TigerBlade34]

I'm probably gonna use CQB, Hayabusa, EOB, and Scout.

 

[O D I N]

Hayabusa, and ODST. Fo'sho.

 

[Gerbil]

It's soooo hard for me to decide which perms. You guys do know they have to be unlocked right? And some of them are not easy at all (I believe one of them is...

Spoiler

you must earn all 1,000 gamerscore to unlock one of the helmets

Halo 3: Which edition?
limited edition is the obvious choice for people who don't have 130 dollars burning a hole in their pocket.

 

[Red Exodus]

How do you guys know what the helmet and armor looks like?

 

[Zero Beat]

The Scout Helmet with the EVA shoulders and chestplate.

Primary = Black(Or steel, whatever)
SEcondary = Cyan
Emblem = Sniper Scope
-----------------------------
Ownage. And here is my custom made Elite.(Halo 1 Ossoona)

I created it with the Halo 3 customization options, it's some sort of program there.

 

[captin_kirby]

all right it comes out tomorrow or if your like me midnight

 

[Mari0sPooPoo]

My preorder came in the mail this morning, like 8 hours ago... but I couldn't play it due to the fact i have school...

Nintendo fanboys have to admit, this game sure does kick ***.

I probably won't be posting for the next 10 hours...

 

[-Wolfy-]

You'll all enjoy this. I'm going to get Halo 3 tonight and I don't even own a 360. Due to a preordering error on the part of my mom, I'm getting Halo 3 instead of Mario Galaxy. So, I'm sellnig it to my good friend, whose house I will be staying at for the next two days to play me some Halo 3(thank god for teacher developement days/no school!)

 

[titus]

woah, awesome helmets!!! im getting halo3 i cant friggin' wait.

 

[bored]

Yay, tommorow it comes out...


I'm so excoited!! - Cat in the hat

But seriously now, good lord, am I the only one that has school this whole week?

 

[Red Exodus]

Well I got good news and bad news. The good news is, I'm getting a wii. The bad news is I probably won't get a 360 until Summer [If I do well in school] or christmas if I don't do well in summer.

I can't afford a 360 per se [my mom is getting me a budget to work with] so my only choice is wii.

I hear Halo might sell 4 million copies this week.

 

[MASAHIROx]

playing it right now. =D

HAMMERRRRRRRRRRR!!!

 

[h1roshi]

wow, after watching all those halo believe vids and crap, this thing looks ridiculous. i remember being addicted to halo 2 online. those were the days. those were the days. i just dont want to play this because if i do i will end up sucking in brawl. lets see...peace

-hiroshi

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I played it with me friend today.

Freakin' amazing!! (I won an online match, yay!!)

I'm getting this when I buy my 360, no question.

 

[Zero Beat]

I am minutes away from getting it..DSMKHLGJHGRTJH

 

[Gerbil]

I got it. Beat first level co-op and solo (both legendary), gotta go to class now though. Laters

P.S. IT IS TOTALLY BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[O D I N]

My buddy and I just beat it. Started playing campaign at around 2 am (central time), and had some technical difficulties involving switching out some hard drives and systems, and just finished it at about 11:45 am.

Good ****.

 

[Red Exodus]

Too cool, I only know 1 guy with a 360 and he won't get it that soon so I'll have to wait until he gets it to see how it is.

Did they bring back Lockout?
