What if the moderators post all the spoilers the day before the release? That way - it will all be old news and no one will care.

Should I start checking the mailbox?


I have all kinds of spoilers for you. I'm sending them in a flat rate box. They don't fill up the whole box- so I am shoving cans of spam in the box to make it feel heavier. FLAT RATE FTW.

Hey Don Wan, go onto Epsilon.

If you really hate spoilers, beat the game on easy first. It will take you about 3-4 hours. Should be find in one day. Then do it on heroic.

Problem solved.

And I personally don't really care. Its a video game, the plot isn't the #1 thin (at least to me). The gameplay and multiplayer are and I"m not quite sure how to spoil those. However, those are my personal opinions, you can have whatever opinion you so wish.

Can someone give a reason, NOT too turn to forums off.

Because they are discussion forums. People who are not playing the game may want, and deserve to be able to, discuss anything that is on-topic for a particular forum.

Fear of spoilage shouldn't be a reason to stop dialog.

When Halo 2 came out, the forums were busy, but understandably so. Some were happy, others not, everyone who had something to say was allowed to say it (within the guidelines).


Exactly. I paid $60 for my Amazon.com preorder so I don't get Halo for like a week after its released.

There are no irrelevant quotes of historical figures here. Neither will you find any links, chain posts, memes, clan advertisements, self-promotions, or the tiniest of ASCII pictures.

So go away.

I'll be turning my computer off, unplugging it, and possibly burying it in the backyard the day before, and not getting back on until I'm done on Heroic.

What would really be the worst is if there's a leak like the Halo 2 French one. Then I'd have to avoid all electronic media for however long before launch, and when I went to pick it up I'd have to hold my hands over my ears and go "LALALALALALALALALALA!!!!!!"

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

I pre-ordered Halo 3 legendary edition and it was $159.99 =(

The clerk said, "If you want your copy of Halo 3 on Sept. 25th, better come at midnight." I've never pre-ordered a game in my life, but from watching on television about the chaos of releasing a new console or Apple Ipod made me become nervous.

I'm still in the planning stages of how to get through the masses of pre-teens and the hankering screams of adolescents without becoming harmed or caught up in the mess.

It's not usually that bad, unless the manager at your local store is a retard and doesn't know how to deal with it. Normally people line up around the building, the time comes, everybody files through, everybody goes home happy. No big deal. If you absolutely must have it first, you come earlier and wait a few hours (or days). If you pre-ordered though, it doesn't matter where in the line you are; they should have your copy waiting for you.

I chose to bypass all the crowds by having my Legendary Edition being shipped directly to my house. Also, my Legendary Edition is only $100.

Same here, but it may be a day or two for me cause I recently moved up to the collage campus and the package is being shipped to my home address so its going to be a while till I can play halo 3. Sometimes moving complicates things but its neccesery

You can't close the forums just for a game. The Floodians will not allow such a thing!

True, but you have to remember to add the gibbering mob of kids from the halo 3 forums too.:P
So far I think they'll probably won't do anything out of the ordinary to the forums, but there will be a tight crackdown on spoilers no dought.

Mid September or even earlier i'm going for a complete media blackout! All my usual Interweb hang outs will be off limits incase of campaign spoliers.

I really am fearful of another leak like there was with Halo2. I don't mind being spoiled rotten with MP screens and features but not SP. I want every twist and turn left shrouded until I can see it for the first time myself.

Once I run through it I'll be straight onto the boards to reveal everything!! Mowhahaha (j/k)

But seriously though, you're in charge of what you see and hear. If you don't want spoiled, don't tempt fate by coming to these (or other Halo boards) near launch.

What would you think if you did that and somebody pulled one of these on you? I'm not sure if I'd laugh or be pissed off.

We received Friends and Family invites to the Beta. That was payment enough. If you see a spoiler report it. We can make it go away pretty quickly. I am sure there will be somebody on to take care of it.

Maybe they need to combined that button with the Staples "That was easy" button to make the most powerful red button the world has ever known :D
No form of "forum" life would be safe if that happened and worse, it may just turn on us. :P

Halo3Planet, the place for all things Halo 3..

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

Just out of curiosity, will spoiler threads be deleted? I know that the mods generally would prefer not to delete threads, for various reasons, but I can't help but feel that if the threads are just locked, it brings more attention to them. Actually, I guess it doesn't matter if the user is Blacklisted, but just in case, it seems like the threads containing spoilers either in the title or in the post should be deleted, so other users don't even have an opportunity to accidentally see spoilers.
