I am legitimately angry many of you will be playing ODST a week before me, partly because I don't have a credit card :(

Spoilers be damned.



Pit 1 was the best multiplayer map at launch. Agreed.

You just upgraded to Member, correct? Congrats.

Excited for a ViDoc, should be good.


Now.
My thoughts going into a game of ShWATguns: Hey, it's on Tundra, maybe I can pull off Have Fun Respawning once and for all!
My thoughts coming out of a game of ShWATguns: *grumble* how the hell does this get in matchmaking...

I'm annoyed that this is basically a full-priced expansion. Should have been $30-40.

I'm buying it anyway, but mostly for the Mythic Multiplayer disc. I never bought any of the Halo 3 DLC, so it's 9 new maps. I've been wanting to get back into Halo 3, but without the DLC it would have been tough.

Now everyone will be united again <3

Aside from the fact that it's a new campaign and I'd pay anything for that, having all the multiplayer maps also made the price sit better with me, as I avoided getting any of them previously. I also ended up getting the GOTY edition of Gears 2 a week or so ago for the same damn reason. Feels a lot better to jump into multiplayer and have everything at my finger tips, instead or worrying about what playlist I can join and other such bullshit.

Maybe I just really hate the words "map pack" though... Modern Warfare 2 already seems like something I want to avoid just because the game wasn't even OUT before they announced map packs for the goddamn thing.

You're confusing The Pit with Valhalla.
 
I'm sorta tempted to try newegg, but it's only a week off and it's still questionable; considering that they CAN have FedEx/UPS hold your package for delivery until the actual streetdate (which is what they did in the Halo 3 debacle). Would rather just wait a week and not have to worry about returning a 2nd copy and be out shipping if they hold it or something.

Edit: I see newegg is already showing on backorder and ETA is 9/22, figures :lol
 
He made the video with his MacBook camera which does it wrong apparently. I just noticed you never really see the game come right out of the box but still seems legit.

Interesting, I though the discs were stacked together on a spindle. Yay for the extra slot.

Anybody want some? I'm buying.

Shouldn't Microsoft be getting all mad at Newegg now? I mean they really did the same thing that French retailer did.

/just pissed he didn't preorder from there. :D

Check the page again. Like Daravon said: it's on back order with an ETA of 9/22.

Is it just me, or did newegg delete all the reviews? I swear last time I looked there were lots of reviews talking about how they had gotten the game early.

Newegg is really random when it comes to shit like this; in this case I honestly thought it wasn't going to happen, awesome for the people who got it through. I've had weird shit happen at Newegg both ways; one time they had a price mistake on a DS game (can't remember what now) where it was like a dollar, and probably a hundred people on CAG ordered it, and me and one other dude got ours, but everyone else's order got canceled. I can almost imagine someone sitting at a desk, then by chance catching the error and hitting a big red button stopping the production line or something :lol

No. Don't apologize. You had a bad game, it happens. I just wish our team mates didn't consistently suck like swedish whores; some kids just can't aim.

Thank god, it has the flap for the second disc!
Click to expand...

This. Though it would have only been a minor inconvenience to have a stack I am obviously glad it now has a flap. :)
 
No. Only those with illegitimate copies will be banned.

For now on, I'm purchasing my games from newegg. Reach shall be bought with overnight shipping.
 
So I looked at the Dell.ca order again and noticed something

9/11/2009 (Date I ordered the game)

Estimated Ship Date: 10/26/2009

What the hell.. why does it take over a month to get a game shipped to me?

Lost Ram to the ring
Lost Trasher to the RROD/laziness

Oh well, guess it's time to move on. I still won't be able to help shed some tears everytime you guys do your monthly videogame session and brag about how you guys hit a lvl 25 in Reach.

Laziness? Pssh. I got work to do son!

Microsoft: send me an Xbox that works please...
 
Anyone order from Buy.com? I have several confirmation emails, but when I go to the site to check my order, it's saying there's no such order number. :(
 
No idea if this has already been mocked here or not, but did anyone else see some of the rules for the ODST Tournament Gamestop is doing?

* Players will play on a split –screen but are not allowed to look at the other players screen.

:lol :lol
 
Pretty late coming from me, but :lol :lol :lol at Numbers' avatar. Also congratulations to Nutter, Major Williams(now I know where you're from, GruntsRUs!), and Luke(?) on getting married soon.

Talking about pre-ordering makes me sad because I haven't been able to preorder ODST(and the ODST OST), yet.
stupid stomach flu!(eww)

Honor rules are the best rules. It shows how much of a pro you really are.
 
Sorry for the big ass post but this is worth it so hang on guys. Technically this belongs into the Halo 3 thread but I guess this is the next best place for it.

So, I was playing offline co-op on The Storm with a buddy of mine and while we're clearing the warehouses shortly before encounter with the Hunters I get killed by a trash container. Usually it would be no big deal but this trash container actually aimed for me as I tried to avoid it and it made a really weird clanking sound that will go on to haunt me in countless nightmares to come.

It was a weird moment but we completed the level without thinking about it.

Shortly after we finished the level we sat down and watched the saved film to see how we creatively dispatched the Chieftain in the Hunter encounter. As we go through the saved film I remember the trash container that killed me and I decide to play detective to see what happened to me. I spent the 10 minutes crying tears of laughter as I saw what was going on.

Look at this peaceful trash container, how could it possibly harm me (Arbiter) at the other end of the room?

A severly injured Brute chooses said trash container as his hiding place after my co-op buddy (Mister Chief) gave him hell and got distracted afterwards

Sitting on top of the container, the Brute plans his revenge

Hidden within the belly of the container, unbeknowst to our heroes his terrible plan is set into motion

It's sight blocked by the container the beast begins to slide through the room searching for a victim

The sound of combat attracts the monster to the other end of the room where the Arbiter is bringing justice to a few of his brethren

Its mind clouded by anger the beast storms in the general direction of our proud hero

Having crossed the room unnoticed it closes in on its prey

The beast takes a quick look from the inside of its shell to confirm the presence of his target

The beast charges and the hero uses his cat-like reflexes trying to evade the surprising attack

Unfortunately the beast accelerates at the last second and crushes our brave hero

Broken and abused by the trash container the Arbiter sinks into a corner, shedding one last tear

The last thing our hero sees before he goes to eternal sleep is the sight of the container, now having turned on its head looking for a way to escape from the rightful justice that is sure to come

In a mad dash from the crime scene the vile beast escapes while our heroes are searching for it

Here it is, the murderous wild animal, posing as a regular trash container to escape justice

The Master Chief doesn't notice the presence of the beast despite being close enough to it to smell its stinking breath through the air tight seals of the trash container

There is still a war to fight out there, no time to seek personal revenge on a trash container

The hideous creature however still hasn't given up and follows our heroes, trying to stay hidden from their sight

It moves ever closer without anyone taking notice

It follows our heroes and their trusted followers closely through the next room, ready to strike

Streams of light touch the surface of the trash container as the beast nears the exit of this warehouse

Finally it is about to escape from the scene of the crime, willing to shed blood elsewhere

Thankfully the path of the creature is blocked which ends this murderous rampage once and for all, or does it?

The beast is forced to shed its cover and openly move in for the kill... but that is a story that will remain untold (or you can just download my saved film and watch this play out in real time from 13:00 -> 18:00).

regarding the eBay posting for the ODST helmet...

Someone posted this question for the item:

Q: do you think that this could withstand a shot from a paintball gun?

:lol :lol

dropping ~$300 for a paintball helmet?!?

lol where did you hear that?

This post. I assumed he meant himself since it's Yoda, and we mostly saw him on Luke with Dagobah. Though, I was confused whenever he did that when talking about the 1up Podcasts and what happened to EGM/1up, so I dunno. :lol

Lets see how far I can go when I jump to conclusions! :lol
