Who's picking up Halo 3?

Oh, I'm well mature enough. My mom just won't let me play them because violent video games are the devil. I also can't watch R rated movies. Having overprotective parents sucks!

Violent video games are the Devil?

Where the heck do you live, down south or what?

I'm not quoting anyone, just using it as a figure of speech. But yes, I do live "down south" but not anywhere far south enough to even be close to what is portrayed in movies or on TV. There are a bunch of annoying rednecks here though, who care nothing about school and all they talk about is huntin', fishin', muddin', drinkin', and chewin' tobacco.

Yes, and I still am very skeptical (not to mention pissed) that it's been excluded. But after playing Bioshock a bit, I've come to the conclusion that not every FPS without multiplayer sucks completely.

Not to mention that I've hated Halo for about as long as I can remember. It's not that it's a bad game; far from it. It's just the sheer mediocrity of it all. Just goes to show you that no matter how unintuitive your product is, it still has the potential to sell if it's marketed well. Just like the iPod.

That reminded me of when my friend's dad wouldn't let him play Ocarina of Time because he thought that Ganon portrayed the devil and so he smashed the game with a hammer. Wow what a run on sentence don't start grammar nazis

Actually that was correct. Just change the and to a comma, and it would be perfect!

If you see my sig, you will understand. Waiting till that date. (Although I now own a 360, I shan't be paying for the right to hear 12-year-olds scream over headsets in multiplayer. PC gamers either too cheap to afford headsets, or obviously have more money then the average 12-year-old)

Trust me. There will be some.

Imagine throwing an enemy's corpse at another player while they try to freeze you while they fend off another player from setting them on fire. And on and on. That would be pretty wild. Co-op would be great though too. I'm a big fan of co-op play in games.

Yeah, they're definitely going to milk the franchise more, and like Halo they'll probably add nice little additions each time. Which is fine by me, because both games are great fun to play, and more improvements can only make them better. Personally though, while it sounds great on paper, I'd be afraid multiplayer would be really hard to balance. Maybe they'll pull it off though, I'd love to be proven wrong.

Feel free to add me on Live anytime. Looks like H3 is going to be reasonably popular around here.

I may even go to one of the midnight events just for the sake of doing it. I've gone to midnight movie openings multiple times in the past and earlier this year I even went to one for a book. So why not go to one for a video game as well I say.

And here I am, never been to a midnight movie or book release, yet this will be my second videogame one.

Moving back all the way onto Halo 3, I'm most looking forward to the conclusion of the campaign. I have the day off from work, so as soon as I get back I plan on playing it all the way through, then crashing for a while so I can get up for work on Wednesday. Maybe I'll sneak some multiplayer in there too.

just beat campaign. I did co-op with my friend and I thought it was a lot better than the other halo campaigns. I dont know exactly why though but I liked playing through it

Don't you DARE post any spoilers!

Let me guess how you got a copy so early, eBay right? Well I'm going to be patient and wait three more days.

I *obtained* it for my friend yesterday (and we modded his 360). We played through the first bit of the campaign on co-op, and I wasn't too impressed (but hey, I'm not an FPS guy).
