Will be Johnson avaliable in spain?
Maybe with a legendary edition like with halo wars and the maps.

Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

Ah, congratulations to the people who won! Will the pre-order bonus be available in the Norwegian Gamestops?

So when are you going to face the music about the "cheaper than a full retail game" promise that was made - and broken?

Yay! So I can expect next week's update to have Crater (Night) and potentially in subsequent updates...more Firefight spaces may be revealed?

Security Zone has already given me the impression that Halo 3: ODST is what Halo 2 'could have been'. And you know what Halo 2 could have been?

Awesome

Connect the dots.

First of all, they never made a promise. They said "They're looking at...". Also, not their choice. Microsoft's. Want an apology? Get it from Microsoft.

Secondly,

In Halo 3 You got:

Halo 3 Campaign
Custom games Functionality
Forge
11 Multiplayer Maps
Halo 3 Multiplayer Component + Matchmaking.
4 player Co-op
Theater & Saved Films
Other Community Intergrations.


In Halo 3: ODST you get:

Halo 3: ODST Campaign
Custom Games Functionality
Forge
24 (24-11= 13 Extra!) Multiplayer Maps
Halo 3 Multiplayer Component + Matchmaking
4 Player Co-op
Theater & Saved Flims
Other Community Intergrations
Brand New Co-operative Game Mode, Firefight + Firefight Centric Maps.


Halo 3: ODST has a substantial amount of content more than what was in Halo 3.

They should charge us more than $60 for a product like this.

Ehh, I used to have a sig, then I stopped posting here for a long time and it sorta outdated itself, so know I'm stuck with this till I actually start posting again and comeup with something interesting to say.

But that's without considering what we're getting extra in ODST that we don't already own from having Halo 3:

Halo:ODST campaign
Firefight
Between 13 and 3 new Halo3 Multiplayer maps (depending on how much you bought off Marketplace)


Not that I don't think this game is worth the money, but it's definately not at the stage where it's worth considerably more than I paid for Halo 3, especially considering that I bought all the maps. $60 (or £40 at most UK retailers) is reasonable, but Halo 3 itself was probably worth more than it's original price.

Wraith shells are slow, I will dodge them.


Dodging them isn't the real issue. Dodging them while you're throwing down with a Chieftain is.
In that case, you might want to put this on the box.

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Thanks for not being funny this week...

Wait, why are we thanking you for not including jokes?

Black Tower

i have a question about this Johnson thingy.
two actually.
1. if i went and preordered it (like i did a few hours ago), would i have gotten the Johnson card then, or when i go to pick up the game?
2. say i preordered it from GameStop, and when i went to get my game and Johnson card, i did not recieve a Johnson card? is only certain ones or would i have to mail Bungie for one or did i just get screwed?
the guys working there didn't even know ODST had bonus preorder content >___>
