Halo 3 confirmed as Gold

Yes everybody, we rumoured it only a few days ago, but the three years of hard work has paid off as Bungie have officially finished Halo 3 and sent it off to the printers.

All that remains now is to get enough copies pressed for the one million pre-orders already placed by North Americans. Then you have all those chancing their luck come release day for a copy, and then you have Europeans the very next day. It’s quite a task, but with over three weeks to go, it should be ready in plenty of time, with ample stock on the shelf too.

Expect rumours of leaked copies, leaked copies and leaked storylines for the next three weeks or so now. It’s going to be a long wait for many.

I’m just curious, am I the only one who don’t give a rat’s ass about Halo? I don’t understand why it is considered to be the game of all times. Nothing special.

yep…I would agree. Even my wife is excited about Halo 3.

you’re definitely part of the minority

Frankly, I’m a little pissed off at myself about the whole Halo thing. I had played through Halo 2 with my stepdaughter a while back, and decided I would play through it by myself to “get in the spirit”.

I realized very quickly that FPS now appear to make me nauseous very quickly. After playing for about half an hour, I started feeling bad. My stomach hurt and my head was swimming for a couple of hours afterwards. I tried a couple more times with the same result.

The end result is that, unfortunately, I’m with you. I can’t really bring myself to give much of a rat’s ass about Halo 3. No matter how good it is, I doubt I’m going to be able to enjoy playing it. Suxor.

Go play Marathon on Arcade. It like Halo without the Motion Sickness!

Here’s a good Slashdot article where people provide suggestions for motion sickness when playing FPS’s:

You’re an ugly person, Trig.

The beta made me not excited about halo. Im still gonna buy it to try it, but i might sell it after playing through the campaign.
Blame Gears of War :P

jesus christ, honestly… TRY and post more Halo news. please?

PLEASE?

You don’t post nearly enough Halo news. I want to know about the developers social lives. their weddings, birthdays. i want to LIVE BREATH AND EAT HALO.

There’s a place for that you know.

Okay, we’ll try to find some more.

Bungie you cunts, give me this mother fuck’n game right now bitch!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHH, i can’t wait til sept. 25, just release it damn you! this waiting experience has been by far the worst thing in my life.

anyone who says this game sucks has to hate violence, guns, blood, and FPS. I mean seriously the hype is way too much though.

Comment by x El Scorpio x on 2007-08-29 21:59:29 | Reply

yeah but there’s actually a lot of quality gaming behind the hype (unlike 3 newly released ps3 titles with a lotta hype and nothing great about them)

Comment by AugustusBot on 2007-08-29 22:07:29 | Reply

which titles would those be, i’m curious? i love my ps3 but i’ll admit the truth: there’s no hype whatsoever for it.

Warhawk is badass.

lair got raped with reviews by everyone.

heavenly sword isn’t lookin like a life raft for the ps3 that it needed.. still a great game

warhawk.. i don’t know on that one. I havn’t it played yet.. But i’ve hear nothing but good things about battlefield3.. i mean warhawk

J/k i’m sure it quite different

Comment by k. taylor on 2007-08-29 22:44:17 | Reply

lol there are no good games for your ps3
why not sell it? and buy more 360 games?

Comment by AugustusBot on 2007-08-29 22:58:06 | Reply

do you own a ps3? clearly not.
Resistance is great (single player).
Ninja Gaiden is great.
Warhawk is f’n awesome. “Battlefield: Arcade” it should be called.

Comment by Scott on 2007-08-30 00:07:43 | Reply

resitance… shit halo wannabe

Ninja Gaiden… A “Remake” of a 4 year old game

Warhawk… Again… shit

And this coming from someone who does have a PS3

You’ve got to be gay to own a ps3 right now. You fags are always talking about next year there will be good games, and there aren’t many good games since it hasn’t been out very long. So why don’t you wait till then to get it, and quit wasting your money and being a jackass. Right now only 1 PS3 game averages at least a 90 out of 100 average score, and that game was on the 360 a year earlier. And the 360 has 8 games 90 or higher plus another 14 85-89. 22 games 85+ compared to 6 for the ps3 85+. 6 games worth getting. And 5 of those were either on the xbox or xbox 360 or are going to be on the 360 later this year. Go suck a dick. http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/scores/

Leaked Copies, Leaked Copies? :].
Anyway, Glad that Halo is going to get enough stock for almost everyone.

This goes out to DAFFY DUCK’s comment above:

I remember all the stuff about the lack of halo 2 copies…

walked into a shop… must have had about 5 on the shelves and 20 in the back with another shipment due the day after.

And I walked in, puleld a LE off the shelf and bought it.

So i’m not falling for that one again

I can’t hear you guys over Metroid, sorry.

Comment by Arian on 2007-08-30 04:29:54 | Reply

If you are too busy with Metroid, then what are you doing here?

Aha! That’s right, shut up. You like Halo too.

I do need a break every once in a while or my hand would break and my brain would melt. :)

Halo Wars for me, I’m afraid.

No, not everyone is stoked about H3. I played the Beta and was not impressed. But having said that doesn’t mean I won’t play it. There has been alot of new info out the last few weeks about the game that sounds cool. We’ll all just have to wait and see. Bye the way, there is another game out there that just might be better than Halo 3. ( CoD4 )???

Comment by Kate loire on 2007-08-30 17:56:32 | Reply

Also bioschock ;)

Comment by Lone goat on 2007-08-30 18:05:41 | Reply

Cod4 beta > halo3 beta

but forge (thats in H3) is going to be fun..

Comment by AN angry H0BO on 2007-08-30 04:30:29 | Reply

This game will OWN, period.

Comment by AN angry H0BO on 2007-08-30 04:35:55 | Reply

COD4 will be good, for sure. IW are known to make good games, but if people are willing to call HALO 3 just another FPS, then what makes COD4 not just another FPS, that military shooter thing has been done to death. Give me unrealistic gameplay anyday of the week, I want to be able to jump over my enemy, shotgun him in the face, turn around throw a grenade the lenght of a football field,land…..and get run over by a mongoose.

Comment by mass9 on 2007-08-30 16:03:15 | Reply

i’ll be the one driving that mongoose buddy.

Hype is good.

It forces Bungie to live up to the hype and make the best game possible.

Comment by hinderfan on 2007-08-31 02:51:34 | Reply

Im American but im glad to see they show love to my overseas Halo brethren by not making them wait for it. Even though one day is still too long a wait for Halo.
