RoxStar Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 GAmestop is apprently selling Halo 3,with the promise that it will be available June 1,2006. Maybe Grooves, with his Gamestop connections, can clear this up? http://gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=t000284 Oh, and EB is selling it too, with some Halo triple pack.

Tyrion Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Microsoft generally releases Halo right before a competiton's product is released. Like Halo 2 right before Half-life 2. So are they planning on releasing this before the Revolution or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I thoguht Gates was going to use it to kill the PS3, but with talk of that being delayed, it would make sense to release it near the revolution.But I doubt people like Lynky were even going to buy an xbox 360 anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't know about about Halo 3 yet, but check this out: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/08/23/news_6131735.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Actually, the halo triple pack is Halo 1, Halo 2, and the Multiplayer Map Pack for Halo 2. If that is what you meant, my bad, but it seems that you're saying they're releasing halo 1 2 and 3 in a box set. If they f*** up the halo movie, there will be hell to pay.

Doomie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Bungie doesn't say anything about Halo 3 on their site... *checks again* EDIT: nope. It does have somehting about the movie, though. Halo 3 will probably be made anyway, but there's no info on it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I just hope they finally make a Co-op mode that is "live enabled" this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikinor Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah. I was hoping they were going to add that in the multplayer pack thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 That would definately kick ass Halo 3 will be done when it's ready. I honestly don't mind waiting for it, since just a few more weeks would've made 2 better. The longer it takes the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'd want the ability for PC and xbox people to play on same servers. But that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Considering that Halo 2 hasn't even been officially announced to have a PC port, I don't think that they will have the ability for pc and xbox players to play on the same server. But would that work? If it did, it would definitely be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokemaster Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I just hope they finally make a Co-op mode that is "live enabled" this time. Are you kidding? After seeing some of the people on live, it made me glad for splitscreen MP. But maybe you've got better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokemaster Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Eh, true, problem is few of my friends have live, and for those of us who do it's hard to coordinate a good time, so most of us just end up playing it splitscreen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 They should make the next one a little bit more strategic. And bring back the old Assault Rifle, Halo 2 was really missing a "pray and spray" gun, the SMG sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I thoguht Gates was going to use it to kill the PS3, but with talk of that being delayed, it would make sense to release it near the revolution.But I doubt people like Lynky were even going to buy an xbox 360 anyway People like Dave Grohl assume a lot. I've actually considered buying a 360 just because of Perfect Dark. Plus Nintendo isn't Microsofts nemisis, Sony is. Remember Nintendo is going for a different path than Microsoft and Sony so neither company feels really threatened by Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Wasn't Halo 3 supposed to be released around the time of the PS3 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah it was, guess the Halo movie is more important though... but it's funny when you tnink about it, everyone has been thinkin "yeah, MS is gonna release Halo 3 to combat the PS3 and Nintendo is gonna release Twilight Princess to combat the 360" and none of it is happening. Everyone is just going about their business not trying to do some wildcard trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well, some people have other friends with Xboxes who live in other states and also have Xbox live..... Werd! ET, and several other of our mutual freinds were all over Halo 2 when it came out. I have YET to have the same kind of fun, like we did back then. Most of the people on Live, that I don't know act like ****ing ***holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I played with my friends but I was so used to the keyboard and mouse setup on the pc that I got owned too quickly. I could've gotten better if I wanted to, but I had other things more important to me to do. And I did try that smartfrag thing, but it didn't work for me.

Tyrion Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The proper term is "Spray and Pray", since you shoot and hope everything hits. Semantics. Either way is fine, since no matter what you pray and spray anyway. I could pray before I shoot, or pray after. Means the same, pretty much.

BongoBob Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 hehe, I love playin halo 1 on pc online. It doesn't lag too bad most of the time, and I've actually gotten pretty good, if I didn't have such bad lag I would own a little bit more. I usually place around 4-7. Unless it's rockets or snipers, I place 2-4 on them. Only won 3 times. *waits for job application to be accepted so he can smash his 56k modem with a hammer and then light it on fire* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I love carrying the flag. 56k = easy win. "omg stop skipping I can't shoot you" XD The better ones do manage to get me sometimes, though. >_> I'm as of yet undecided on what to buy. I think I will wait it out and see about XBOX 360, PS3, and Rev. I really want the 360 for Live, but I'm not sure that's worth the 300+ bucks. Not that you all aren't worth that 300+ bucks, mind you.

Katarn07 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 WHEN they f*** up the halo movie, there will be hell to pay. Fixed I'm not thrilled about either the movie or the new game. I was so pissed after playing Halo 1 the first time. It was the mother of all games, the best FPS, the #1 selling XBOX game, the short easy game I beat in two days on normal Halo 2 was fun. Never beat it. I plan on buying it when it's $20 or so like I did the first one. They're good games, I just don't get the hype. Just another FPS to me.
