me either. I've watched other people (many others) who are better than I am play the game, and I have envy.

P.S. My "you guys" comment was more so directed at people who kept bringing it up. I'm not defending his argument that journalists are removed from other gamers (or whatever his exact wording was). Rather, I think people were seeing his comments about the length and responding because they thought he was being dishonest. Perhaps I just read the discussion wrong.

 

[The Elite]

How is it cheating if website shows game in-stock ready to ship? If it was their mistake, either they should let easily cancel order or just ship it. Why go through all hassle of shipping order and let customers refuse the shipment if they don't want it?

The order was shipped early and is being held by UPS so that it arrives at people's doors on day 1. That is why they are already shipped. All you have to do now is simply deny it at the door.

You try to cheat the system, get a game BEFORE the fucking launch, Newegg blocks it, you get pissed and say they're unprofessiona? Wow...that's really sad dude. They're one of the best Web sites for selling computer equipment. No one touches them.

And UPS said the game will be shipped tomorrow, nothing wrong with that. Their Web site updates slowly sometimes and they might have just received the information. If it's next-day air, that'll happen.

You're fucking stupid if you think buying a game, when it's supposedly in stock, is "cheating the system".

It was not a mistake, on Newegg's behalf--it was purposely done so they could make $$$.

If you find Fog, let me know.

If anyone finds Fog, let me know. I must have it!

Hey could you check something for me, are there any items in Forge that are basically immovable and that are kinda short? I need to know if forge map I am thinking about will work.

Did you find any so far? If so please PM me. I suck at finding stuff apparantly.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

The responses has been very, very positive... But why do I still feel that they haven't been positive enough?

Well there's a new angle that I haven't though of.

If we do play some Final Halo 2's tonight, let's discuss what we'll play here first. No on the fly stuff.

Ok, about the whole AA "problem", here is what H3 looks like 95% of the time in terms of jaggies. No problem at all:

Your proof of that? Any... at all? You post on an internet gaming message board where we all know the game is released on the 25th. You should have known better.

Anyways, I'm not getting back into this argument.

Review scores are fantastic and I'm in gaming bliss at the moment.

(although I knew after playing the Timeshift demo because that game has full AA and no jaggies at all. Impressive. The rest of the game though not so much :lol )

Yes. I just got my Elite yesterday. I'm in if we do a GAF game.

I think the only short thing that's immovable is the concrete barrier. There's a short and tall version. The edges of it can be blown away with grenades and such, but it's pretty much immovable. I haven't spent as much time in Forge as others, though, so maybe someone else can answer better.

Honestly, I think with enough time and patience, you'll be able to make whatever you want.

 

[The Elite]

Brilliant!!

That sounds like it will be good enough for my purposes

Heh, I'd say that the jaggies are more annoying in the first shot too.

Personally I have yet to buy it but I think if it is their mistake they should at least make cancellation of order easy. I know all websites follow this same procedure of telling customer to refuse shipment for full refund. Why can't they just recall shipment from UPS instead?

I have bought lots of stuff from newegg. And that website rocks. One of the best on the web.

That is an opinion piece my friend.

Relax. In two days you will have Halo. Hell, maybe you get lucky and Newegg gets you your shipment for tomorrow. In the meantime, rejoice with the rest of us over the glory that is Halo 3.

Can you simply recall a shipment once it is sent out or does it have to reach the customer before it can be sent back? I've never tried calling anything back so I don't know how that works.

I've been asking for this for a whole week. Someone make it happen.

I am starting to think Bungie named the xbox 2 console: 360 because of Halo. :lol

Wow...just wow at that article. That person spent waaaay too much time researching the issue. I hope they spent at least half of that time actually complaining to NewEgg (I didn't read the entire article, just skimmed). I've always had great experiences with them.

Indeed. This argument is silly.
Halo 3 is here, and that's all that matters.

Apparantly, Doug Perry's GameTap review has major spoilers. Be careful.

I don't know. I assumed as a corporate customer they can have this service. Anyway let's drop this. Kind of off-topic.

That sort of thing happens a lot on PC games, so I would imagine it is just a issue with caching from the hard drive.
