Subject: Halo 3 ODST Pre-Launch Events!!

Hey Bungie and halo fans was wondering if any of you are going to any of the pre-launch events whether it be Comic-Con in San Diego, Gamescon in Germany, Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle or another not mentioned, even private screenings of ODST!

Main reason I'm posting this is I'm an Aussie who lives in Melbourne. As Bungie are not around our part of the woods much, but they are finally coming and as i work for the gaming chain in Australia I get to go, so sweet!! Apparently coming to Australia with a Replica Warthog and one of the Bungie employees (so hoping its Lukems lol).

But yeh tell me what you are going to and if your unlucky not to where you would love bungie to visit or even who you would love to meet from the bungie team and why?

I wish I was still legendary.

I've rode in that warthog. it's MASSIVE. seriously, it's awesome to ride in though. Look for the small weta logo on the side that also looks like rust (not small as such, but fairly visible when you look for it, near the left seat on the outside). Are they coming to NZ (however doubtful that may be)?

I would like to meet anyone from Bungie, really. it would be fun.




EDIT: near the right seat, not the left. my bad. did you know the gun works via two switches? one makes it spin, the other shakes the ammo belt to make it look like it's running through.

Hahha yeah i'd need that too ^^ The last launch event for a game in london was the wow expansion. That was at the HMV in oxford street, so im guessing if bungie makes a london event it might be there as well ( since its a big retailer, central position etc..)

wrath of the lich king event at HMV was pretty fun with freebies, guys in constumes, music... so i'd deffinitely go to an ODST one

I'm from the U.S. I don't think they are going to have one near me, The good ones are always way to far away for me to attend.

He's the other bald guy. A veteran Bungie guy, I believe.

I wish they would head to a place near me. But we have absolutely nothing big happening.

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

I've heard of something in Miami, where when and how?!

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Unfortunately Bungie never goes to Canada. :(

Cool. Question, did they put seat belts in (I didn't see them, haha), and does the passenger seat work like it does in the games where the passenger is higher up than the rest?

Personally, I won't be getting any ODST love pre-release. They're no where close and I don't have a job in the industry (although I am part of the team working on an Indie/XNA/Community Game).

I am not doing a launch event or going to a midnight launch. When Halo 3 came out I got it at midnight and skipped school. This time though, I will just wait until the school day is over and pick it up.
