The Official Halo 3 Hype Topic!

Rud13inJapan · (10-25-2006, 01:21 AM)

First off here's a fake list with a fake release date on it link

Also the Google news archive featuring every Bill Gates mention of Halo 3

A token Peter Moore tattoo shot:

Cortana Fanfiction

And finally Master Chief shopping:

So I'm hoping maybe we post any speculation, wishes and thoughts on the state of Halo3 and or J. Allard in this soon to be legendary discussion! :)

Shawn128 · (10-25-2006, 01:23 AM)

My, you are excited. Isn't it a little early for this? I woulda thought we all would wait until after Gears of War came out for this type of thing.

Stench · (10-25-2006, 01:24 AM)

So what makes this thread the "Official" one?

arne · (10-25-2006, 01:24 AM)

Is this this almost like asking for it? a ban i mean :p

The next issue of EGM begs to differ.

@ shopping list!

very cute

OverHeat · (10-25-2006, 01:25 AM)

if you only had one choice halo 3 or gears of war???

nubbe · (10-25-2006, 01:25 AM)

Too little too early

At the moment Gears > Halo 3 by a mile and 2

CajoleJuice · (10-25-2006, 01:25 AM)

I don't think I can maintain the erection required for this thread until Halo 3 is released.

Maybe the Cortana fanfic will help you in your quest.

edit: nm, it's not slash :|

castle007 · (10-25-2006, 01:27 AM)

what is the point of this thread??

Kabuki Waq · (10-25-2006, 01:27 AM)

i hope they have decent level design and Weapon Balance this time.

Also **** the jumping.

Rud13inJapan · (10-25-2006, 01:29 AM)

well it is a hype thread, can't we make some of our own

I hear there's only going to be 5 levels but they will massive!

Online Co-op is confirmed!

Special marketplace multi player levels available on day 1!

BocoDragon · (10-25-2006, 01:30 AM)

Could this be the Halo-killer-killer?

Rud13inJapan · (10-25-2006, 01:31 AM)

Also this!!!

∀ Narayan · (10-25-2006, 01:35 AM)

Halo 3 is a first-person-shooter. I would know, my uncle works for Bungie.

What is the street date for that issue?

Add 3 weeks and that is when mine comes : (

Piper Az · (10-25-2006, 01:37 AM)

Since taking cover seems like a big fad in games these days, perhaps Bungie could include "taking cover" against walls, rocks and what not a la Rainbow Six Vegas.

Fusebox · (10-25-2006, 01:38 AM)

Bring back the sniper pistol!

Dahbomb · (10-25-2006, 01:41 AM)

This thread requires more wank material for me to "hyped" off of.

ShowDog · (10-25-2006, 01:41 AM)

i hward their gonna take the enrgy sheild outta this one cuz everyones hated that in the 1st to games

Kabuki Waq · 12:54 PM

Just Imagine you are online, last person alive on your team The other team has 2 players left you see them... you are about to shoot....you notice you have to reload.... you press the reload button and.......

"you have run out of Ammo, press A to purchase a new clip(300 MS points)"

Awesomeness.

Subscribers should have it next week -- on news stands Nov. 14. But will there be a way to satiate the Internet masses if they can't get a copy of EGM at their local magazine rack?

nubbe · (10-25-2006, 01:43 AM)

Classic...

Mr Toast · (10-25-2006, 01:46 AM)

Halo 3 should come out on 07/07/07 just for pure awesomeness. 9/9/99 was great, but the three sevens, considering Bungies obsession with the number, is a must.

But ya, make it harder to lock on to vehicles, banshee overheats, tone down the lock on for the plasma pistol, more warthogs, the atv, human version of the banshee, slow down the rate of the rocket launcher, tone down dual weilding, thats all for now

Odysseus · (10-25-2006, 01:54 AM)

I just hope they reinstate the prior canon that said energy swords self-destruct when out of the hands of their Elite masters.

Make encounters with sword-wielding cloaked Elites as hair-raising as they were in Halo 1. (And, of course, this takes it out of multiplayer entirely. Next up... no more auto-tracking with the plasma pistol in MP.)

Just remove it. Remove the lock-on.

Wait...there are EGM subscribers out there that receive their mag before it hits newsstands...intead of 3 weeks after?

I wonder what I'm doing wrong...

Resistance will be way better than Halo 3.

dirtmonkey37 · (10-25-2006, 03:37 AM)

When does that EGM issue come out? That's the issue that I'll buy and then use the nice card inside to subscribe...

thetrin · (10-25-2006, 03:46 AM)

All I want is awesome screen shots and a story nugget. ;_;

"Please sir, can I have some more..."

Secretly I hope that the "free EGM" subscriptions ship at news stand dates and the paid ones ship at the appropriate time, but that's mainly because Wario64 is the only person on GAF cheaper than I am.

If you aren't receiving your subscription at the right time, I don't know, call circulation -- that is totally not my department whatsoever.

Hey, we get it, you don't like Halo 2! Thanks for reminding us over and over again!

Can you confirm/deny this?

pringles · (10-27-2006, 12:57 PM)

Just got LEVEL (swedish gaming mag) in the mailbox..
Really nice Halo 3 cover, and a 10-page or so article on the game, with lots of (multiplayer) pictures.

I haven't read the whole article yet but they reveal 2 new weapons and 1 new veichle, and also a "Legendary Edition" of the game.

The "legendary edition" is sort of a "special-special-edition" that consists of a Full-size replica of the Master Chiefs helmet that contains 4 DVDs with material.
1= The Game
2=Various documentaries and audio commentary
3=Spinoffs such as "Red vs Blue" and "Spark of Life"
4= ALL the cutscenes from all three games in Hi-def

Oh, the game looks great btw:)

Holy **** that sounds hot. Especially the audio commentary.

You must provide scans (and translations), for great justice!
