I gave up trying to print this out. I wasted enough ink because of the stupid borders that are placed on the paper. If anyone can seriously tell me what program on Vista will work to print this out and what settings it need to be on, then it would be very appreciated.

I personally have no use for my ODST preorder case, so I decided I could always use that as an individual case for Halo 3: Mythic.
What Halo 3: ODST preorder case?

Some stores give you a preorder case to bring back when the game comes in as proof of your preorder. It's just an empty case with a special box cover that's the same as the original, minus some details and with some extra advertisements.
I wish I got one. I'll ask the store about it.


I think only BestBuy gives you a Pre-oder case. They sell them for 5 bucks and the code for Johnson comes in it.

Hey, I made a file with a blank background where the main recon picture is, and I used it to make two of my own cases, with my personal armor permutation...

So, if you want me to make one for you, email me the picture you want me to put in, please, no spam. The picture needs to be the high-res that you can get off this website. Please take into account the scaling. The size of the high-res pictures is about the same size as the case picture, so compare the two to make sure your spartan isn't taking up the entire picture, and i will do my best to keep heads from getting covered up by the mythic symbol and the title...

email = spencerforney@gmail.com

NO SPAM PLEASE, this is my normal email address with my name...

Teltaur please include this in the OP, so it can be seen...

Great work, Teltaur! I like it, can't wait to get this all organized when ODST comes in.

@ the guy above me: Didn't Teltaur say something about releasing his Photoshop template soon? That way, you'd be able to just paste the image under the other layers and you'd already have a finished cover.

i'm not sure, but I already have it, and that's exactly what I am doing with it, for whoever wants it...

If you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices.
The scary part is that if you play it forward it installs Windows.

I guess glossy paper would be the best. I printed mine on regular white paper and it still looks really good.

The OP has a link to a video that shows how to print it out. If you follow that video it's the perfect size for the case. Worked for me.
You just have to cut about 1/2 inch of paper around the edges.

here's my own version of the cover. Just changed the cover pic and few bits and bobs.

feel free to use if you like it

Nice, looks like I've finally found a use for all those empty OXM cases I have from back when they used to give them out with the Original Xbox Demos. :D

Awesome job with the cover and inserts and love how the community has grown the idea and made their own versions of the cover and inserts to add. This is the kind of stuff that makes the Halo community the best one to be a part of.
