To play or not to play....

Firstly excellent update. Probably one of the best I have seen for a while and that is saying something (there have been some rippers lately).

Just one question. What would I have to do to get a copy of that new book signed by some Bungie folks. Hmmm maybe we can auction such an item off for charity or something. Would be nice eh? Anyways it was just a thought (probably due to having too much pizza and flat beer last night. *shrug* It is all good).

Seriously Mister Chief better be around soon I miss that dude (or is it dood I can never remember the correct spelling (again I blame the beer and pizza)).

This update made me go out and pay off my Halo 3 pre-order and while I was there I got all excited and pre-ordered a few other games (but alas I will not mention them here eh?).

MAte if the game is anything like that trailer I will be satisfied for years to come. Man oh man oh man oh OMGZ and all thank the Forerunners. I had Friday the 13th over and done like nearly 17 hours ago and I even saw a black cat on the way home. Yes I live in the future.

One word for Bungie.

AWESOME!!!!

and I reckon you folks deserve three cheers and heck another three.

Oh and if the events in the new book took place as the war between humans and the covies was starting then this might give a hint to a whole variety of new story ark's (ooops arcs) for future games. Not exactly a new thought but the thought is a bit clearer now :)

I am pretty sure this book will answer some of the new details about Johnson that have come to light in the other books, such as his immunity to the Flood.

Personally im looking for something more from Halo3
Graphics check
Storyline check
I want the game to be darker more mysterious
I also want the game play to be leaning more over to the halo1 side but i also want something new
I want it to feel fresh i want to have to think about what weapons best suits the battle
but also when i play that level again that im gona have to use a different gun cause the battle has slightly changed.

I want rain buckets and buckets of rain gushing down from above i want to hear it beating on to the leaves
when i detach the camera in the games video system i would like to see condensation on the chiefs visor.

I Hope You Can See This Because I'm Doing It As Hard As I Can!

best mister chief everz

A witty signature you say ! ? well at the moment i have nothing witty that springs to mind, so sory..................nope still nothing.......

Sweet

Defiantly pick up a copy of Contact harvest when it's out, be interesting to read about Johnson’s back story. I think it’s really cool that you guys are incorporating the saved film feature into campaign, I’m looking forward using it to make some sweet little cinematic moments from the campaign, be really interesting to see what other fans do with the feature in terms of Machinima (can't wait to see what Redvsblue do with it). And I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of Mr Chief, he’s not dead not yet he can not be killed by text alone !

Cheers Luke, nice update.

It includes all the cabling included in the other 360 skus? What does THAT mean?

Core - composite only
Pro - component only
Elite - component, HDMI and audio dongle

Which sku?! Since it has HDMI I hope it comes with that dongle; I currently have my elite hooked up via an HDMI -> DVI converter to a monitor, and that means I need that dongle for sound... Friend of mine is buying the elite off of me for cheaper than retail, and I'd feel cheap if I didn't give him everything that came with it...

So seriously, in plain english, what cables come with it?

  • 07.14.2007 6:11 AM PDT

A pity the fool

Emm, how come Johnson has a battle rifle, when according to the first book , they hadn't been taken into the unsc's arsenal of weaponary until after the first halo was destroyed??? hmm think about that one.

Luke, in the update you say that the new Halo 3 themed Xbox 360 will include the Halo 3 wireless headset but on Xbox.com (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/e32007/articles/h alo3console.htm) it states that the the console will come with a wired headset. Which is it?

the exact first thing that came to mind when I saw the cover art. The guys over at Ensemble studios got complaints about Halo Wars back when the first trailer was shown. The humans were using BR's. So at E3 they changed it to the AR.

  • 07.14.2007 9:34 AM PDT

Go Rockets!!!

Yao Ming is back!!!

Lol, Seargent Johnson (Avery) has the same name as the Dallas Mavericks head coach.

P.S. How could Mister Chief be defeated by text. (Curse you Text!!!!!)

  • 07.14.2007 10:38 AM PDT

I loved the part about Groundhog Day... or am I the only one who got the joke?


lol, Driving off a cliff?

You're thinking lemmings, not groundhogs.

P.S. How come nothing addressed the forum hack?


le-who? I'm thinking of the actual movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray where he's reliving the same day over and over again. Towards the end he drives off a cliff in a truck with the groundhog.
