i thought it would be fun to describe everyones plans for when u get halo 2 in your hands.

As for me:

Me and my neighbor will skip school as we kick ass through co-op during the day, then at like 4ish i would organize a large LAN bash (that i would have planned out months in advance) munching on food, and possibly staying up all night playing til we pass out. :)

Ingredients for success:

Pizza
Soda
Buffalo Wings
Beer for those over 21 of course ;)
Crapload of snacks
at least 4 tvs / xboxs

and if we can play 4 players on xbox live, i will run to a store on the 9th and buy Live

also one question, say we have 4 xboxs and everyone had their own xbox live account on each box, if i hooked up all the xboxs to a router connected to the internet would we all be able to play on live?

ill go to school and get it on the way home and play it after school

you should be able to do that with a router but it would probably be pretty laggy if you dont have a good one (i have a bad one and it cant handle playing games on one computer and the other one not doing anything at all it)

In canada the legal drinking age is 18 and our beer is stronger, so we'll be able to pass out faster that you... when we're younger than you! lol


Oh, yes the plans...
Drive to EB games at midnight, come home to a stocked fridge and a pantry stocked with chips and candy, grab whatever food I can and still be able to carry the Halo2 case, push my lazyboy in front of the tv, and play all night and skip school the next day.

I've always thought that it would be much better to skip the tenth, that way, you would actually be able to play it much longer.

Novemer 9 im probably be alseep when halo 2 first comes out (stupid 19 hour time difference), and being in New Zealand it probably wont come out here for another 2 weeks (or more....*cries in corner*)

I was just goin to start a thred like this but seems like people beat me to it >.<. I don't really have to worry about getting on the first day it comes out or on the 9th. I get it 12 hours before the other stores so that means on the 8th at 12 I can go get my copy of it. To bad that I have school the next day... I wouldn't even sleep... Maybe I'll just stay up all night any ways and sleep durning school and repeat as needed to beat single player.

But the thing is... I'm not sure if I should go straight into single player or go check out the multiplayer maps. And try out the new weapons and physics of the game. Or xbox live >.<.

Btw, dumb question I know, but, how many people are going to start making clans ect for Halo 2 on xbox live on the first day? Just wonderin =/

New Zealand gets it on november 9th like N.America, not on the 11th like the UK. Since it comes out on the ninth, and New Zealand is a like 12 hours ahead, they end up getting it first.

I really want to start one my self, I'm really good at Halo. I don't know how good because when you go to lans you just dont know if your good or if everyone else sucks...while you have some crazy 1337 people that could own you with a shottie from across the map. But, I'm going to try getting a clan together sense most of my friends have cable and a xbox. Be easy just to get Xbox live for everyone and you have the headset so its not going to be hard communicate with everyone. Does any one think that there will be some sort of contest that you could try your luck out with for Halo 2? Like a 5vs5 League or somethin?


(BTW EB Games rock....they get there shipment in 12 hours before the other stores and they order enough so you WILL get your copy if you there on the first 2 days of the game being released.)

Someones ego trippin'. I probably won't be getting a big screen TV anytime soon(14 year old, no allowance)and if I do it probably isn't going to be a 72' inch plasma lol.
