About skipping school at Halo 3 launch day
Posted by: RhythmKiller

I'm going to school because I plan on having a life...
Yeah, only nerds skip school. Oh wait...

Great update, nice to hear that Frankie has finally turned into a frothing fanboy. I also have dreams of Halo 3, mostly on Valhalla. And I have only seen a few pictures.

Great to hear Halo 3 is really shaping up. I remember the Halo 2 updates were really vage even close to the release, but now we really get a sense of how the game is progressing verry well, and most importantly that IT IS progressing.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Those water effects sound really nice, can't wait to see em. Now, where to get a 1080p HDTV in time for Halo 3....

i cant wait to see the water for halo 3, sounds sweet. the next EGM will have to hold me over though

No I don't want to join your group/clan/cult.

I bet that Brute and Grunt thing is because of the fight at High Charity. Or something like that, like you have to go through a bunch of Grunts fighting Brutes. LOL Grunt wins.

awesome update. tell nylund to get crackin on that new book cause i just finished onyx and i don't wanna wait another five years like i did when i finished first strike.

  • 11.04.2006 6:06 AM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

Great Mister Chief.. it looks like the new Zanzibar map this I admit I have seen scans of... shame on me... but I might just go out and buy that EGM. It sounds like Halo 3 is going to own. I can't wait till I can do the same. Keep it real. I just can't wait till I see a full-res finished screen shot. I might just pee a little too.

oh yeah ive been wondering......in a very very very old update...you said that you finally got to play single player levels and you were pinned in a litte crevice or something and you were talking about the superior AI becasue they used pincher moves with grunts in front an "something larger than grunts" behind you, does that mean that theres going to be some new covies?

Hey Frankie, will players have to buy different versions of the game(Halo 3) to be able to play the different difficuly levels? If you can shed some light on this it would help.

Wait until the new EGM ships? I bought the new issue 2 days ago. I live in New York City, so anyone here who lives in new york might wanna go out and check there local newstand. This issue is so sweet. I dont know if im allowed to talk about the mag since I know bungie wants people to go out and buy it, but lets just say.... I finally know what you guys meant by "brokeback" lol. Also if i can say without giving away too much info, "Door sheilds" Sounds awesome, maps with trap doors? sweet!, Needlers are no longer dual wieldable? (more powerful?), You can no longer carry 4 of each grenade, but only 2 now? =( makes me sad =P, I also like the section where they interview pros Lil Poison, Mary Jane PMS, and Team OGRE on what they want to be in Halo 3 and whether or not they get it, I like Mary Jane's idea about the Vision Camera (Go Buy the Mag to find out what im talking about), but yeah i guess i wont say anymore until I know its okay too. But definitely go out and buy the mag, its so sweet.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished,....... this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing....... The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.......so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V

Sin2Die- How did you buy the mag when it doens't go on sale until nov 14th?

  • 11.04.2006 8:41 AM PDT

Sigs are stupid.

Frankie, you is right. Turretses is hard to drawe.
Excellent update. I love Halo 3 news.

My local newstand already had it I dont know how, thats why I said go out and check your newstands, he might have sold it early, if you dont believe me, when you do buy it just check if what I said was true. I want to tell you guys more of whats in the new EGM but I dont want to get in trouble for it, even though I shouldnt because i did purchase it, it wasnt my fault the newstand sold the mag early....right? I wanna talk about a whole bunch of stuff with you guys, am i seriously the first person to buy the mag? is there someone else out there that got it early and wants to talk about it?

Frankie, It sounds like this game will be fun and all, but how does it make you feel?

  • 11.04.2006 9:06 AM PDT

Today a young man on acid realized that we are merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are one conciousness experiencing its self subjectively. Life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Agreed. The game is probably more progressed than even the press was let on to. Did anyone else pay attention to the fact that Frankie said they played a "stripped down" multiplayer. Stripped down from what? On an update some time ago Frankie mentioned seeing graphics that were photorealistic in some places. Now dont get me wrong, the shots of the MP maps look sweet but not photorealistic. I think there will be more,graphically, than were being led on to.

dangit yo, Frankie, you have way too much time on your hands to be thinking of this stuff!
You need a hobby!
though, nice update

  • 11.04.2006 9:30 AM PDT

Ha, ha. You misspelled halo again. Unless ther's someone on staff named "Hao". Oh well.

Very exciting content! I'm not reading EGM though. Magazines are for people with money and no insecurities about the size of their thighs. That HUB looks attractive. Too bad I can't buy online. No credit card. Or money to begin with.

Ha, ha. You misspelled Halo again.


P.S. I dream about Halo a LOT more than you'll ever experience. And it's not all pretty.

Im glad they have lots of customization options!
Hopefully they let you decide if you want it to be like halo 1 or halo 2. Since he did say it would please both fans. Just think a vehicle dammage option would be awesome! Warthog launching anyone?

The atmospherics and lighting are also used to amazing effect in the single most terrifying Halo moment I ever saw. I literally yelped. Something really, really bad happened in the Campaign story, and something really, really scary ensued. Joe screamed when he saw it. I admit I peed too.


This really caught my eye. I wonder what it was...Good update!
