Okay, as we all know, Halo 3 for Xbox 360 will be coming out on September 25th in North America and a day later in Europe (Correct me if I'm wrong) To get us in the Halo feeling, I thought I'd start a thread about Halo. I will be posting many links here having to do with the Halo series and I encourage you all to post interesting/awesome screenshots, links, stories, gamertags, ect.

Also, to the haters, please do not ruin this thread if you are not a fan of halo. I'd like to keep this thread as positive as possible.

My Gamertag is Powerslave UK. I can't want for Halo 3, but I've never liked the 2nd one. But I may say the Halo 3 Multiplayer is great so I predict me on it.lol

Ditto, mine died a few weeks back. (due to my own stupid fault)
Currently borrowing one from work, but it's a devkit one so can't actually go online to the public live servers with it.

Atleast they added being able to play retail games on them a year back
A 360 right now though is low on the priority list for where my money goes. Rent went up again last month, the landlord is literally ripping my arm off and beating me each month.. probably be less painful actually. ( £1,200/month)

done a recent splurge on new computer hardware, still got to get a Radeon HD 2600 XT yet; it doesn't feel right working long long hours but ending up having no money. it's like having a girlfriend/wife around really, you just don't know where it all goes but you know damn well you're not actually spending anything on yourself

get the game on monday, but with my schedual over the next few weeks it'll be either podcast or 2hrs of Halo 3. probably end up being the podcast tbh given i like sitting down with new games and just playing through from start to finish.. done it with the past 2 halo games so it's a bit of a tradition now

I was pretty unexcited about this for a long time, i still kind of am, but the new movies and features look pretty cool.

Microsoft let you take a 360 devkit home with you? Why?

I had a dream I was frantically trying to steal a Halo 3 Epsilon from these people so I was like, running a cross country race trying to get it then I climbed a large pole helping some kid, but then the guy came who was supposed to deliver it and he offered me some really old microwavable pizza and I said I'd take it but my mom was like 'Oh no! Its too old!'

Then I woke up.

Halo 3 - can't wait to see how it ends. I agree, Master Chief probably dies in the end, or he does something impossible and survives.

He will survive and live longer than Chuck Norris, but even he won't live enough long to see the last episode of "The Bold and the Beautyful". :-P

Make games, not war.

Rofl--- slightly unrealistic, but that's ok

My 360 died on July 30th, and I'm still waiting for Microsoft to send me a prepaid box so I can ship it back. They keep messing up the service request--- I've set up 4 of them, 2 of them which went missing, and one of them which went to the wrong address. I predict I'll be without the box for close to 3 months in total.

I think that Master Cheif will just take his helmet off and then say "Looks like I done my job" teh end!

I think he'll do something totally crazy and dramatic and we see his body laying there with epic music. Then we see like, one of his fingers twitch and the screen blacks out to credits.

you say that as if the company as a collective just gave it to me
as far as my boss was conserned, it's the machine that technically is mine at work anyway. so if it's with me then no matter how crappy I'm feeling he knows he can tell me to get on with something and I don't have an excuse not to do it.

atleast that's something he mentioned after he said it was alright.
it'll go back once i get a new testkit anyway. a serious downside to the devkit over the testkit, is the devkit can't run retail games; they have to still be developer code signed xex.

plus side i see of it all is now i don't have to take the caddy home each sodding night or atleast lock it up in a cupboard.. seems to be a habit of the techies to go around wiping all of the HDDs each night. was a pain in the arse knowing that.

still not got on xbox live public servers with my account, damn thing is still locked to our local live server. so if you notice it suddenly go gold and zero gamerscore (again) then it's cause they've finally sorted out the problem that has it bloody locked locally.

seriously thinking about making a new live account.
