Halo 3! Beat it!

Wow!!! Got it @ midnight after waiting a few hours.  Started doing co op with a friend at 12:30 on Heroic, beat it at 7:30, left asap to make my 8 am class.  Still am running on zero sleep!!!  Its awesome!!!

You already beat it on Heroic?  Impressive!  If I still had internet and a 360 I would be on there non-stop for days....  So is it worth it?

Sure did, and thanks!  Well you are missing out....the story is actually a pretty good ending.
 
As for gameplay its interesting with the new eapons, vehicles and "items" such as a shield, or flare or what not.  It feels different and I dont like the Live setup at all.  But I will most likely play and become addicted again. lol

i heard they are already working on the fourth one! and some trivia >> halo 3 was the first game in history to go platinum before it acually came out in stores!!

anyone know if its sold out in stores

well, all i know is that GameStop only got enough in for the people who pre-ordered it. in other words, you cant just walk in and buy it, you have to have a pre-ordered copy (this is only at GameStop, i am not sure how other places are doing it).

I won't touch Halo.  I had too many friends in college that ruined their GPA's cause they were addicted to it like it was frickin smack or something. 

Your right accord. DOnt touch it at all please!!!!!

lol, just some harmless gaming...

yeah, dont touch it unless you can keep your priorities straight like a normal human being.

I remember my junior year in college playing halo w/ my suitemates until 5 in the morning consistently.  I had class at 8 m,w,f and 10 t, tr. and somehow managed to do good enough....but I learned my lesson and stayed away from halo multiplayer until I graduated lol.  Got tired of drinking 2-3 redbulls a day too.  ha.

wow, you need a life

just started playing...beat the first level in half an hour on legendary, its HARD.

The game looks impressive.
Anyone record thier gameplay? I like watching those movies
Anyone hear about a Halo movie coming out?

I know there is a movie that is supposed to be coming quite soon just not sure when.  As for the Halo addiction I can attest to that.... My friends and I used to stay up for hours on end and play against each other, sometimes I would go out with them drinking until the bar closed at 2 am then we'd go back and continue drinking and play until 7 or 8 in the morning... The only game that I've ever seen rival halo for getting people addicted was Ever-Crack (Everquest) but that required an internet connection so I don't think it had quite the effect that Halo does.  

You thought you were a halo fanatic?  How about dropping almost 9 grand on a one of a kind Halo collectable set?  Signed by bill gates, auctioned for non-profit organization.... this is incredible....

hmm...i think i need to get this game...didnt realize it was out...i seem to be living in a hole...i just bought nfs carbon....maybe i should play that first...too much grading!  dammit!

ROFLMFAO sir_nasty!  A non-profit organization selling Halo 3 stuff that benefits the boys and girls club? 
Taken from the auction:

There is no "inspiring and enabling young people" at all with Halo 3.  Halo 3 is like giving a kid his first heroin filled needle!

OMG I PLAYED HALO 3 AND I NEED A LIFE  WOW.  *SARCASTIC*
I've got one.  Just because I play a video game that has been in the works for 6 years does not mean I don't have a life.  I think you need to stop being such an azz to everyone on this forum, grow up, and stop spreading your stupid "everyones stupid but me attitude"  How about that.  Everyones tired of it, seriously.  You're so f*n annoying with that sh*t.

Yeah, Legendary is insane. I still havent played haf of the online maps!  The game is so sweet though and the recording is amazing!  I drove the elephant today and its hilarious!  I think its neat too how it says how many people are online and lights up where in the world they are!  If you guys play let me know.
My tag is :  Power Surge FTW
 
The movie has been sort of an iffy thing.  They are making one but it keeps getting new directors n' such because MS wants so much money for the rights.  I think it is supposed to be out in '09.  Should be cool.  But they also are releasing two Halo related games.  Halo Wars which looks awesome and another one which they wont say anything about.  Hmmmm.  They wont be called Halo 4 or anything like that though.

Let's don't start bickering now
 
If it only took you 7 hours or so to beat it, don't you feel cheated?  It took 6 years to make it, but you can beat the game in 7 hours  I was always pretty ticked if I beat a game in less than a few days! 

 
Yeah, aw well.  It was fun, and after you beat the campaign all you really do is play online anyways! haha  It like really is what started all the system link and all that jazz!  Woot!

I agree.  Beating Halo is just a warm up for the real battle that takes place online or via system link.  If you can't beat halo on legendary then hold on to your rear when you step into the online gaming world, some of those guys will just rock you....

Pretty Much! I still dont know how they get past like level 30.  Its ridiculous but oh well.  Hopefully they dont have the same cheating problems as in Halo 2...though superbouncing was fun! hehe

Oh yeah...I forgot about the whole playing online thing.
I remember I used to play Unreal Tournament online when it was big (shows how old i am).  Those online guys were absolutely insane how good they were.  One of the last times I played was right after September 11, 2001(I know it was not big then, but I got on for kicks) some guy had named himself "Osama bin Laden."  Of course it was so everyone would try to kill him.  he was insanely good.  i once got lucky and crept up behind him and killed him.  Then he came back and killed me.  Then every single time I reappeared after being dead, he was waiting in the spot I would appear to kill me immediately.  The freak memorized the pattern for where you reappeared!
