These forums have calmed down to the point where it takes almost a day for topics to move to the second page. Enjoy the tranquility for the next five days because once it releases it will become a zoo in here. Couple things to remember before we get hit.

1. Be nice to new people. Yes they ask stupid questions, they are new its their job. Either answer the question, point them to a sticky that has the info they want, or DON'T REPLY. If you don't like all the space that dumb questions take up either be helpful and answer them or refrain from flaming and starting a flame war that pushes other topics off the front page.

2. If you are going to talk about the campaign and reveal plot points and such please put the word "Spoilers" somewhere in the title of the post so people how haven't played Halo 2 don't get the story ruined. And yes there are people who haven't played Halo2 yet so don't assume everyone knows it just because you do. Imagine if right when you get to GuiltySpark 343 level in Halo someone tells you about the Flood. That whole level was a subtle building up to that encounter and I would have hunted down and killed the person that ruined it for me.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling it will be falling on deaf ears. But hopefully people can bite their tongue, or fingers as it may be.

Its gonna have to be on Sunday because I'm going to be at an Air Show all day Saturday. However it will probably be late Sunday cuz going to the bar after the show and will most likely wake up at noon on the bartender's couch. :)

Gaming Systems:
Intel Core i7 720QM (4 cores, 8 threads)
4Gb DDR3-1333mhz
1Gb AMD Radeon HD 4650
Windows 7 64bit

Xbox 360 w/ 20Gb HDD (2008 edition) & XBL Gold.

I've always said that making the game Vista only has some as of yet unseen benefits to general use. For a start, it should hopefully remove the generic 8 year old whining noob, from having any chance of playing the game, as they probably won't upgrade to Vista until their parents buy a new PC. So, hopefully, the users of H2V will mostly be more sensible and this will reflect the activity on this forum. I hope.

But yep, your advice is sound, I've always used Bungie.net as my sanctuary of peace, where i am free to talk about Halo games as i wish. Without being verbally molested by endless teaming Playstation noobs who can't stand the idea of another platform having a great game they will never probably get. So if everyone here sticks to that advice, it'll keep it a sanctuary.

Haha, late Sunday it is then. I'll be quite occupied Sunday morning and noon, but when afternoon strikes, that's when I relax all day. xD

Still 3 weeks to go for the UK release.

Import from US and get it earlier and save money, or wait and hope UK PR send me a copy free? Hmm! Tough choices! ;)

good idea to lay down reminders because it is guaranteed someone is going to get really pissed off. For n00by questions I recommend the simple,end topic approach. Send them to google :)

Most people wouldn't even need to read the stickies. All you need is common sense, just don't do any stupid or bad things.

My point exactly, however, some people may not be "forum-savvy' and thus not be familiar with online netiquette.

Frog Blast the Vent Core!

Due to the boring grind of school, I'll be helping out in whatever way I can without owning the game when the rush comes.
