You forgot surround sound! You forgot surround sound!

But really though, if you are hardcore, you might wanna start saving or looking for some nice 5.1 (or 6.1 or 7.1)

That's exactly what I've been doing lately; it'll be well worth it

Yeah you got to have the surround sound. What the hell is wrong with you? How could you forget that? Atleast we caught it early.

Also I recommend some black garbage bags to be taped up in the windows. This will complete the "shutting out of the world" and allow you to play in complete darkness during the day. I find that when it is dark and its only me and the screen, I fully and truely become one with the game. In other words, I acheive the "GLOW" (as seen on G4).

A 27 inch tv is a good size, but a 50 inch or larger HDTV would be a hell of a lot better. With surround sound of course and a huge Lazy Boy.

I found 6.1 to be over abundant and unnecessary. I just bought a very nice logitech 5.1 set with a DTS decoder etc etc. And it does quite nicely. In fact my roommate and I were surprised at how well Logitech built it. It's very comparable to the $800 Bose set my father has at home for only, $300 from thinkgeek.com

Oh yeah, don't forget.

10) Dump your girlfriend before Halo 2 is release and/or get her to play with you. Inform her there will be no sweet loving for at least a month.

The 27" tv is right on, its the ideal size to see everything on screen, as far as sound goes, to be truly hardcore and get the most accurate sense of whats going on around you, then believe it or not, I prefer a good quality set of headphones. Next thing you'll want to do is upgrade your internet pipe, dump your girlfriend, unplug your phone and take a 2 week sick leave from work. A fat bag of weed goes well too!!!

But the bag of weed would ruin it, for example, when the marines are getting slaughtered by the covie bastards, your supposed to get angry, but when your high, youd just crack up, therefore, the weed is not needed. lol.

Yea i find the 27" tv is just right, not too big, not too small.

I think I got a 27" too, might be 25, dont know, i could always use my 50 incher out in the living room, if my dad isnt home, he hates it when I use that for my video games, I have 5.1 surround sound, picked it up off of walmart for 50 bucks, not the best quality, but it suits a multiplayer match just fine.

This summer I will be furiously trying to save up for a nice 5.1 SS setup, a HDTV, or a projector.....all for Halo 2. Oh, I will also read Fall of Reach, Halo, play Halo on Legendary, and then read First Strike, all in that order, that way I will have refreshed my memory on the entire story.

You should definately read up in "The Story" section at HBO.

lol, and the whole thing about dumping your girlfriend, i wouldnt know about that. just tell her that you love her very much and that you are very sick so you cannot leave the house for a week, and no one can visit you.

When I'm high, Halo is the way to go, its more intense and you wont catch me just "cracking up"...you'll find me sitting close to the screen muttering things under my breath such as "take this you damn blue blooded freak bastard!" "like it? like it? TAKE IT!" and "game over man, game OVER!"
