Halo 03 |News & General| OFFICIAL

[Spookie]

If you got the LE edition then i still think it would be with Royal Mail, might just turn up in the van instead.

Either way you should receive it tomorrow and definitely receive it if paid 99p for first class delivery.

I wouldn't get peoples hopes up. Hell Parcelfarce24 isn't guaranteed for next day. If they can't deliver a Wii, which was in limited stock, for launch. Imagine them trying to complete the largest pre-order the Xbox360 has seen yet.

edit: I'm not trying to get people down, I'm saying don't pull a bloody sickie until you've got the game in your grubby hands!

[Lingwo]

Well i've never had an item late from gameplay.com. I've always had my pre-orders early, i always pay the 99p for first class postage too. It depends on your area too, if you're prone to late deliveries etc, then don't get your hopes up.

My Wii came with Parcel Force and arrived on time.

That was the problem, I had never had a late delivery and had been using Gameplay for nigh 3-4 years when they still owned Wireplay! :(

zomg so excited right now :| Literally feel like a 5 yr old at xmas :laugh:

[PL_ Veteran]

Dammit! GAME.co.uk still haven't sent mine! :(

[Lingwo]

GAME have got to big for their boots and probably sticking to the release date and sending it out tomorrow with special delivery or something.

@DrunknMunky, we should do some co-op, i think i got you on my friends list.

Bungie finally enabled matchmaking :D Good chance for me to level up before everyone else gets on :p

[Skeddy]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I do. I'm definately up for some co-op man. It's going to be mayhem the first night haha.

GAME were pretty fast with my late preorder on The Darkness. Hopefully they have already sent it to you PureLegend. It might just take a while to update. I haven't even got an email saying mine has been sent yet from Gameplay, but on the site it says they have.

Don't let his comments get you down, he bashes Halo all the time :p

Tom Chick, or me? Chick does not bash Halo all the time.

And there's a major difference with "bashing" and "showing a dislike" for something. Seems like anyone who has anything even remotely negative to say about Halo around here is crucified.

Don't worry, though, if I have any negative thoughts about Halo 3, I'll start my own separate topic specifically for the negatives, as I'm sure someone will accuse me of being a "troll", even though this topic isn't "Praise Halo 3, all Negative Comments Post Elsewhere."

I just called my local Wal-mart and they will have it at 12:01 tonight! Register 22!!! :) I am not a fan of Halo or its hype but I might as well try it to see what it's like.

Unfortuantely a lot of people do, I think many feel the need to go against the grain and put digs in on a highly succesful game/franchise just to look cool. Ah well, leave them to it because as long as i'm happy I don't give a **** what anyone else thinks!

That's what I intend to do, as I stated :) I'm not going to say something negative for no reason.

This must be a worldwide launch as I'm seeing a lot of you from the UK all stoked for tomorrow! Any launch events going on over there where you can pick up the game in person instead of pre-ordering and having it shipped to you? i.e. in London?

[PL_ Veteran]

Not a *massive* gamer...but enjoy a good game and really dug the previous two Halo titles. Really powerful game, great story, and looks just gorgeous on my HDTV set. Only got through the first mission thus far, so this isn't a review by far. heh

Most shops will be doing a midnight launch tomorrow, I know my local GAME is. Or if you're not one for camping outside a shop there'll probably be loads of stock left on Wednesday :D

[Pajter]

It's not a complete worldwide launch.

It launches in the US on the 25th, and in Europe on the 26th.

I'm bummed out that I have to wait 'till wednesday. :(

Yeah there is. Not quite like the launch partys over in america though. If you look back a few pages Spartan_X posted about it. I think the GAME retailer has 150 stores opening at midnight for launch. If there is some party though, it will be in London no doubt, Oxford street I imagine :p

Quite a lot of us have preordered online, and to get the game on time they ship them early. Those lucky enough to be in good postal areas get the game earlier than planned :p

@ Ayepecks, lets just hope you have the same reviewing morals when it comes to Porject Origins ;) Wouldn't want to see you being biased or anything like that :p
