Seriously people, you've had a year to save up.


I'm gonna use this non-offensive remark as a placeholder for all the jackasses saying "get a job" and the likes. No offense to the original poster.

Some people *have a job* and just can't shell out that kind of money. I work 8-hour shifts in a car parts plant right now and at the end of the month I basically can afford to go out *once* and buy food different from corn flakes, canned soup and discount pizza. IF I scratched that and just save up everything, I could buy a 360 in 1-1.5 years.

See what I mean?

Anyway, its 6.30 in the morning and I just came back from work, so I'd better go sleep. I know there are a lot of stupid kids out there who got their 360 as a present and just run their big mouths. It's not that I take offense, just... you know... fire up your brain before you comment like that, if only to save yourself from looking like a heartless arrogant arsehole.

EDIT: wow, arsehole isn't -blam!-ed? Hooray for British English! (nope, not British)

Skin Cancer is the #1 killer of Halo players worldwide.

looks like bungie is doing this one right... but that picture may reveal something as to the campaign, rusty pipes look like earth to me.

And if you didn't have enough money for the 360, what would you feel?

Subject: Wow...

Men, we've led these dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep from getting their filthy claws on earth, but, we stumbled on to something that's so hot for them, that they're scrambling over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-b*tch machine, or a giant hola-hoop, we ain't gonna let them have it. What we will let them have, is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in!

That is WAY too much to take in at once

look - after playing G0W and a few other games... Gheylo just doesn't do it for me anymore... looking at how 'cartooney' both Halo games have been, and now seeing an 'in-gheym' screenshot of the STILL cartooney-looking Master Chief - i am soooooo freakin' disappointed. i thought Bungie would step up to the plate and AT LEAST make the gheym LOOK better and more realistic. sadly - this is not the case.


the only thing i agree with u on, is the fact that the screenshot IMHO doesnt look good... could be cus its in alpha or beta or whatever, but that doesnt look at all like the MC on the Teaser trailer, the teaser trailer looked so much more realistic, and better, this one seems like over bump-mapped and all green.. the lighting might be crappy =/

hopefully the game ends up looking tons better than this screenshot and better than the teaser since that was made quite a while ago :D

other than that i cant say im dissappointed, bungie's on the right track, i just hope that MC doesnt stay like that xD, which im kinda sure he isnt....

if you notice they said that new maps for halo2 are coming out this spring so that means if i am correct that they have very long time before this game is even releasted. they said halo3 is coming out next spring so wouldn't that be 2008

i hope the halo 3 beta will be downloadable through the marketplace even if it eats up all of my memory space it will be worth it because its HALO 3. it would be a great idea on bungies part ; letting the fans give feed back on the game while its still in developement. its as if the halo nation will be helping create the next halo game. who would know more about what the halo nation wants than the halo nation its self.

THANKS for the new maps! it really makes having a 360 that much greater :)

happy halo day everyone !

THIS JUST MADE MY DAY AND I WAS HAVING A BAD ONE TOO

THANK YOU BUNGIE!! AND FRANK UR THE BEST

  • 11.19.2006 11:52 PM PDT

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

I can afford an Xbox 360, however, I don't see a reason to get one as of now.

This is just a poor marketing move done by Microsoft to see if they can at least reach 10 million shipped by end of year, which at this point seems impossible.

I have a 360 that I bought when Bungie announced that the emulator would make Halo 2 360 compatible. I was disappointed to find that it was so glitchy that I couldn't play BTB or skirmish without it stuttering and skipping like crazy. I'm back to playing Halo2 on my old XBox. Those of you that haven't bought into the 360 hype aren't missing anything special.

M$ had better make a major improvement to the emulator before Halo 2 is fully playable on the 360.

IMHO, what they should have spent their time on is Halo 2.5 for the 360 instead of for Vista. It would have taken the same amount of effort and probably improved the takeup of the 360 alot more than it'll help the takeup of Vista.

I'm a grizzled old veteran from the Marathon Days.

The only reason I own an Xbox is for Halo. The only reason I continue to own it is for Halo 2. The only reason I will buy a 360 is for Halo 3.

You can ban or blacklist me if you want for saying this but:

The world would be a better place if Bungie if never been bought by M$. You guys are a glorified hardware and software marketing tool.

Mmm 16-bit 640x480 Halo for Mac... sounds like a perfect world to me.
