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.

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?'

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.

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.

Halo 3 Ad by Neil Blomkamp: "Museum"

A new ad "Believe" will come out on Friday, apparently.

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.

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.

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.

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. :D

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.
