Do I even need to post my reaction to this?
Bungie. I love you.
BTW Marathon: Durandal comes out tomorrow.
Just in case you liked your Bungie experiences a bit more sprite-y, a bit more Mac-y, and a little earlier than September.
Four player online co-op?! That is absolutely awesome. And here I was hoping for two... sweet.
Downloading Marathon right now
And since we're on Bungie subjects, new Bungie Podcast up on the Bungie site and on iTunes. I'll link in a bit.
This is an artist's rendition of me and my buddies riding in the Warthog during 4-player co-op.
The music we will be listening to is 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go'. Either that or 'What Is Love?'
Freaking. Excellent.
And go awesome yay cool @ the Elite characters with actual... character. And background.
I'm getting a 360 for this game now.

The two new Elites, joining the Arbiter and Master Chief, both have real bios and appropriate fiction, but they will not be appearing in the cinematics and so on. They are designed to be believable and useful allies, without affecting the fictional arc in a negative way and they do not appear in the game as AI controlled opponents during one or two player games.

New Halo 3 mountain dew game fuel.
Features everyone's favorite video game character: Master Chief!

Makes you wonder if they're taking this a little overboard.
Well, Microsoft are really pushing Halo 3 merchandising for reasons such as this. On one hand I don't really agree with it - most of the sales would be made with or without the promotions anyway - but on the other it barely affects the UK to my awareness, so whatever.
Oh, and since it's recent news that hasn't been put here, flamethrower and fourth (fire) grenade confirmed for Halo 3.
Halo Mountain Dew is yuuuuummy.
YAY!
BURN, BABY, BURN! @ new weapons
Heh @ the commentary. I dont see where carrying around a big can of super-flammable stuff right next to my xxxx is such a good idea.
Aaaand taken down again.
Screenshots for great justice.
...What, you think I'm gonna link 'em here?

I am henceforth disowned. It was too short notice for me to be able to go. *cries*
Ultra's link = Damn sexy news.
And as for you, Zero. Why'd it have to be you, man? D=
Awesome @ standby / bridging solutions. We love you, Bungie =D
Holy crap. That's awesome @ the Forge.
Use the Forge, Luke.
lolwhut
The MC can pick up much nicer chicks than that, surely.
Very nicely directed, and really original for a game commercial. Pretty awesome.
I've seen Believe, but I think it was just a tagline for a magazine advert for Halo 3.
Anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled, there's a leak. What does this mean for you? Stay away from Bungie.net forums, 4chan and Something Awful. You WILL be spoiled within the next two weeks, guaranteed. If they'd do it for Bioshock, they'll do it TWICE for Halo 3.
Crap. Fortunately for me, I don't frequent those sites to begin with. But now I'm starting to get paranoid about frequenting the internet at all. >_>
Yeah, half of bioshock was ruined for me in just a sentance.
Really? I don't recall that much of Bioshock on 4chan.
Oh well, off to find spoilers, I go!
EDIT: Looks like they're doing something about any and all kinds of spoilers on the Bungie.net forums.
Quote:
Anybody caught posting story spoilers will get you banned, possibly from both the public forums and from groups. This ban is permanent and total. This INCLUDES people attempting to make jokes about story spoilers. The truth of the posted spoiler does not matter.
Moderation will deliberately be mean, ESPECIALLY in this forum, for the forseeable future. Moderators can and will ban you for two weeks for looking at them funny and will not be obligated to provide you with a reason. Comments on the fairness of this policy will likely result in you getting banned. If you can't control yourself, I suggest you leave until after Halo 3 is officially released.
You will receive NO further warning. We don't have time to waste on babysitting you people, and since this forum has shown a lack of ability to control itself, we're breaking out the heavy weapons. Expect no mercy, no appeals, and expect us to enjoy it a little bit.
Oh, I didn't mean 4chan, just the internet in general.

On Something Awful, someone bought a banner ad and put a giant spoiler on it.
A flythrough of the diorama featured in the recent advertising campaign, as well as additional information, can be found here 😯
Just as a warning, it contains hints to things that go on in Halo 3, so be wary in viewing if you're adamant about avoiding any and all spoilers whatsoever.
It's still pretty damn awesome.
Crap, now I gotta just sit real tight here on MF until I get Halo 3. =(
The people who do Consolevania have put up a slightly... different version of the "Believe" trailer.

(Language warning!)
lol, I saw that one on Kotaku... hilarious.
I want more of these, now!
That was damned funny.
So out of curiosity, is anyone planning to attend one of those midnight launch things?
I've got it preordered from Amazon, so i don't really plan on going. Besides, I'd have college the next morning. =/

I'm going. Bringing my CD player along with some headphones, because I don't want to be on the next big spoiler meme.
Oh yeah, addendum to the SPOILER AVOIDANCE list, Youtube has a crappy cell-phone vid of the ending up. Youtube is unclean, avoid Youtube.
If Gamestation get enough legendary editions in, then yes I shall be at a midnight opening.
I prordered from gamestop, so I have no need to go anywhere at midnight! The bad thing is that I have to wait a little extra though, but it'll be worth it.
Sweet. The GameStop I preordered from is having a midnight launch, so I'll be there retrieving my preorder. Followed by going home and playing the game unitl I have to go to work that morning.
I don't live near any big game stores so I had to order off the internet. So then it takes a few days to ship. I was actually wondering when I would recieve the game, I ordered 2 day shipping. Would they send it the 25th or a few days early so I get it the 25th? Oh man, if I get it later than the 25th I'll be so mad! I can barely wait another day.
I have a bad memory but when I ordered sonic 2k6 I got overnight shipping, I'm not sure if I got it early or anything.
Guys, the ending was leaked last year >>
Also, Kotaku provided an alternative... The story of Charlie the Unicorn
Possible language warning.
