[Pancakes]

No one in my friends list seems to have ODST, so I have no one to play firefight with. =(

If any of you would like someone to play with (and laugh at my lousy engrish) my GT is:goncalo09.

Just add GAF Firefight2 to your friends list and play with GAF .

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn, that's one for the wall.

[edit] Woah, who is this special character that we unlock once we beat the game on Legendary? Joe says this character hasn't been revealed and will be a surprise. It's not Master Chief either. We already know of Dare in firefight, do we not? Hmm.

I thought it was

So yes, that is the character.

Oh man, midnight launch in approximately 13 hours. Mmmmmm

D: I don't get to play ODST for 42 and a half hours

 

[neoism]

wow , that spike preview is excruciatingly bad.

Why can't they do that on the Co-op show, in a more laid back way, while they all have a drink, with no Geoff Keighley!

That sucks balls.

12 and a half to go here.

Can I ask a favour of HaloGAF?

Any chance of ODSTifying my MJ avatar? I know it's tricky, but I'm not home for another 3 or 4 hours or so.

My God... last time I posted on Friday, this thread was at like page 60-something.. now it's almost at 90.

It's as if I've been gone for a week. :lol

Anyway, I haven't read or watched a single review. I hope they're all good!

You insecure 100-pagers always come across like you've got something to make up for. =P

Midnight launch for Australia tonight but I'll be getting it tomorrow afternoon. Forgot to preorder too so I won't be getting the bonuses.

When you customize Firefight characters, can you change the colour of the chestplates?

Also, the highest I've seen anyone make it solo is Set 1 Round 3 Wave 5. Theres a variation of an enemy I haven't seen before, the

Spec-Ops Brute

. The model looks badass, and reminds me of the snipers from Gears. Look almost demonic.

Not sure if this is the thread for this, if not please let me know where to post, but I'm going to be getting XBL Gold for ODST and none of my friends play Halo.

My gamertag is Apocalyptatron, put me on your friends lists, I'd love to jump into some firefight games will some fellow gaffers.

Same here. Turned on Friday.

GT's score is lower than I thought. Oh well, seems pretty fair I guess.

Is there a certain time you have to be at Toys'r'us to get these two? Can I use my Batman AA gift card to buy ODST?

 

[RBH]

The deal lasts all week, but the earlier you jump on it, the better since I'd imagine that there's going to be alot of other people going to TRU for this deal as well, and supplies will most likely be limited for the figure at least.

And you should be able to use your Batman AA gift card for ODST.

Send a friend request too GAF Firefight 2. You can use the friends of friends feature, and get access to a growing number of ODST players that may or may not all fit on your personal friends list.

Question: Chances of me getting ODST Midnight tomorrow with no reservation. (there are 2 gamestops in my mall.) Also, chances of me being able to reserve ODST tomorrow afternoon and picking it up at midnight.

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone think they could avatarify the rookie if no one has taken it? Either that or add an ODST helm to my avatar if possible (not sure if that would work out, being a scribbletar and all).

I would bet you will have no problem picking up the game. I would hope they have enough copies for people to actually pick up during the day Tuesday.

Yes. I purchased it on September 16th.

What are the chances that this picture will make to Bungie's Favorites?

That moment right there precedes a session of unmitigated awesomeness which was one of my favorite parts of the entire campaign.

I went to GameStop earlier today so I can pay off ODST for tomorrow. One of the employees gave a little tease and brought out the Special Edition so I see it. The controller looks pretty nice. I was ready to take it off that guys hands.

Not sure if the PlanetXbox360.com review has been linked, it's a very positive article and linked below:

And I'll be up at GameStop for the launch so will post some pics of the crazyness, should be a fun time!

If you want to get a copy at Gamestop, I would highly recommend trying to reserve a copy, even if it's mere hours before the midnight release. EVERY time I've ever checked GS to see if they had a new title on release day, not only did they not have any extras, but they sneered at me and gave me the "you should've pre-ordered" routine. It seems silly, but if you don't pre-order, somebody else might waltz in tomorrow and put their name down on a copy that could've been yours.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

The compromise.

Any chance of mine?

I know animations are heaps harder.

Thanks if it's possible.
