"Bother", said Pooh, as he chambered another round.

A worthy update indeed.

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I liked the podcast music. I say keep it. Do it.

I could have sworn that bungie said that the cut scenes were going to be done in CGI, the same look and feel as the ESPN commercial. Whatever bungie, I think it would have been worthy to see orgasmic graphics as that commercial, I must have watched that thing 100 times. Whats up with all of these leaks? I mean It is cool to see these new maps don't get me wrong

Do I see Mister Chief CAEK!?!!

Mmmm....

In ages past the hand of time
Has hindered our migration,
But it cannot slow the will of faith
In times of confrontation.
Let all those worthy walk the path
Where we shall all soon meet.
For what once was lost, now is found
And our journey is complete.

Frankie:
Everyone, with scant few exceptions, should now be able to download and install Desolation and Tombstone, the two new Halo 2 maps.
Ugh...I guess I'm one of the scant few exceptions...This sucks. It was a glorious update though...

depends on the site but its either Private Message or Personnal Message

I've been here longer then my profile says. Halo fan since combat evolved.

Great Up-Date. Cheese Mc. Carroline would agree. This was an action packed, brain fillin, update. Great, just great, love the word choices, and the super secretes, also the wonder list of magic maps. I really hope that "pop in" effect we witnessed in halo 2 is fixed, but i do believe in the magic of the programmers, and so, yay! All in all this one deserves a 8 outa 7.5.

It's not likely I'd win a code to get the beta early, but you never know. I'm on these forums every night so maybe I'll luck out. Anyway, this update wasn't too shabby. I can't wait for the beta so many rumors on the forum will die.

Australia always gets left behind

Aww it be so sweet if i got a special invite, i'd be the only person in australia with halo 3 : )

Thanks Fargoth for the answer.

To Everyone,

Good luck to all to get the invite. We have all spent hours playing Halo 1 and Halo 2, our significant other may have been mad that we ignored their call one too many times. It was worth it every time, especially if you have that darn red teams flag. We have all had this experience and we all can't wait to play this next generation Halo extravaganza and yes I'll be the first to say that I would a very happy person if I got the invite. But for those who do get the invite, PLEASE don't ruin it for those who must wait five more days and please don't rub it in our faces. Be kind about this kind of matter because I think each and everyone of us are on the edge of our seats waiting for this thing to come out. So once again I say, Good Luck too all! And everyone say thanks to frankie. Who I must mention has yet to accept my friend request........

Australia

Great update. I don't care that we didn't really learn anything new, I just like to hear about the progress.

I also like how some of the people who made the first page just scanned the update for any keywords like "beta" or "Friends and Family" and then posted something like "can't wait for the beta" or "hope I get a Friends and Family invite".

If getting onto the first page means anything to you, then chances are you haven't seen daylight for a while.... ZOMG VAMPIREZ!!

  • 05.04.2007 7:23 PM PDT

PS

SO the invite will appear in our mailbox in the message center?

It is a great community for the hardcore gamer.
Tell them Mongerty sent you

So the only advantage of getting the friends and family invite is the fact that we can play 5 days sooner? I really won't be crushed if I don't get it.

KAU! Kick Ass Update!
