Alright, so I edited an old thread of mine so we won't have to keep posting in the Halo 3 thread about other 360 games. This thread was also a Halo 3 thread (go figure) but I edited it to make it a 360 game thread.

I posted this yesterday, and no replies? I guess we don't have too many Halo fans here.  |

The screenies look cool. We'll just have to see what it's like when it's released. |

In the Electronic Gaming Monthly article, they said that the multiplayer still has an entire coat of graphical work planned. The single player, on the other hand, was semi-ready, and EGM said it looked incredible. I'm not that big of a Halo fan, personally, but I definitely will get this game and you all know you will too.  |

Meh I wouldn't bother preordering. It's really not that big of a deal. If they are sold out, new shipments will come in less than a week most likely.
I remember back when Halo 2 came out there were plenty of copies at Costco available after the launch. |

Same with me. I went at like 8pm on launch day and there 100's of copies left. 1000's sold. |

Click me
I didn't see a need in making a whole new thread about the Halo 3 trailer so I just combined it with this old one I made.
The new trailer looks awesome.

I think it'll be awesome. It seems like it's combining elements of Halo 1 as well (they have a new Assault Rifle type thing instead of the Battle Rifle). I really hope they get rid of dual wielding, well at least, most of it.
It was cool at first but I got sick of it pretty quickly. I hope they'll have a few dual wielding type of guns but not too many. It started to annoy me when the game started and it was everyone scrambling to find a good weapon combo then running into enemies and circling around each other just spraying whatever you have at each other hoping that your combo is better.
The little kids who scream and yell and the guys who think they're the shit always annoyed me too, but there's not much you can do about that.
I hope they learned their lesson in Halo 2 when it comes to more freedom in the environment. I hated how you were kind of constricted to a path in Halo 2 whereas in Halo 1, it was a very big, open, and spacious environment with beautiful structures that you could actually walk up to. |

| Bungie cannot predict a launch date to save their lives. They could at least predict it later rather then sooner, so if they release it earlier people will be happy. Instead they make an estimate which they can never meet and then piss people off with multiple delays. |

From the EGM article it seemed like they were going to keep the Battle Rifle in addition to having the new and improved Assault Rifle. Also, it seemed like they were keeping the dual wield option, but taking steps to make it so that the game doesn't favor duel wielding as much as Halo 2 did. |

Duel needlers are the bomb. I'm glad they'll tone down the plasma pistol even though that's one of my favorite weapons. I'm skeptical on what they'll change, but I think they'll pull through with good gameplay. |
