[Official] Halo 3: ODST

[Matthew S.]

@Lex: Yeah I wish they didnt just hire any teenager for a Game store and Fusion if you go back say your talking about the "Sgt Johnson pre order that you get WHEN YOU PICK UP THE GAME."

Tell them it literally says "Available at time of purchase, limited supplies". Thats the same thing it says to us(GameStop) and we didnt get ANY in yet. As far as i know thats the only REAL bonus that every company is getting. Other is Reach but that is gonna come inside the game. I dont think there is any other bonus but walmarts own special bonuses(like the lanyards for gow2, only they had those).

The guy knows games, and he even knew which one i was talking about, gonna check back this week before work... i want my cigar chomping, ass kicking black dude.

i can't wait for this, i've just started playing halo 3 online again, and god didn't know how suck assy it got, constant lag, searching for a game with a population of 50k, takes like 5 minutes and brings up 1 or 2 possible matches, and most playlists REQUIRE the map packs, obviously with ODST you get the maps, but thats not the point, me and a mate were limited to team skirmish or team slayer and thats all we could do, on the plus side, not long till i get my mits on this game :D

[neoadorable]

this game is a factor in deciding on whether to take this job overseas...i may want to be around when it comes out, and a new job will definitely get in the way! :angry:

Your job is more important. Multi player can wait, believe me even Halo 3 will continue to be played for a long time to come.

I don't know about you guys but I will be purchasing Halo 3 ODST upon its release.

I had exactly the same experience last night, I think it?s a bit of a kick in the teeth the people who have owned Halo 3 since day 1 but don?t have all the new maps. Separate play lists for people with all the maps should be created instead...

The exact same happened with Halo 2 which was rather annoying at the ti:devil:vil: As you say it won?t matter once ODST is released for people who plan to buy it.

v-99, not sure if it can wait, and i don't mean just gaming, you know what they say. every day lived is a day lost!

You know just to share a little story w/ you, my parents took my 360 away to concentrate on school more (which in effect is doing the exact opposite, I can't do well if you take things away that make me who I am). So will likely happen is that I'll buy ODST but won't be able to play till Winter break.

I'm about to turn 21 in a few months. It's a bunch of BS I have to deal with I know but I'm making this reference because you can't always get what you want. I know when ODST is released your ass will have the most happiest times ever spent in online gaming. TBH I feel sad in my heart I won't be able to join you. But maybe I can break the rules just once. You're right about one thing; Life is too short, it's especially too short if you're in fear of constant ridicule.

I'll be playing it at some point, I'm not the biggest Halo fan but nothing beats playing online co-op split screen with 2-4 of your mates in the same room. Halo's like the only FPS game you can do that with this generation that you'd want to.

Reminds me of playing Goldeneye with 4 friends, except obviously you're online with other people now :p

It's the goldeneye of our time w/ an integrated online component.

I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about Halo but I have interest in it. I read one novel called "Ghosts of Onyx" by Eric Nyluno and it was the most enjoyable read based on a video game.

edit: what the dizzle you added golden eye before I finished my post! You're good! It's like we got telepathy.. lol!

Did anyone see this?

Police Swarm To Bungie On Weapons Call During Kotaku Visit

A report of a person with an assault weapon walking near Bungie Studios sent a team of police swarming to the Kirkland, Washington studio yesterday afternoon.

The incident turned out to be a misunderstanding and a surprise interruption of what was supposed to be a less eventful visit by your deputy editor to play some Halo 3: ODST.

The person who had thought they'd seen a gunman in the neighborhood had actually seen a Bungie employee carrying a replica Halo rifle back to the studio's offices, Bungie community director Brian Jarrard told me. Recognizing there was no longer an emergency, officers advised Bungie officials to transport the gun more discretely in the future.

Kirkland police, contacted today for more details, said a passerby on their way to the local farmer's market called 911 saying that they thought they saw someone walking down the street with an AK-47 about 4:20 p.m.

Was Obama at a Bungie meeting? lol

[neoadorable]

funny news article.

v-99, i think you should make it clear to your parents the hobbies in your life make you both happier and more productive in the end. you're 21 for heaven's sake, they can't control you to that extent anymore. don't think i'm making fun of you or nothing, i understand wher they're coming from, but it's not called for.

AB, aren't you the motivational speaker, better add that gem to the book of life :book:

unfortunately in the end we're all losers, a trip to your local cadaver depository should be evidence enough :bat:

I have to admit Microsoft knows how to do some damn good commercials for Halol

yea, but after a while of being bombarded by their massive ad campaigns, they get incredibly annoying.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

And I thought my parents were strict. They let me game as much as I want so long as I finish my school work. Of course, that was the case with middle school and high school. University is a different story. I can do whatever the hell I want.

Anyway, have you guys seen the full version of the Halo 3: ODST live action trailer? If not, check it out here.

[GuJu]

halo odst? wtf is this.

hmmm. gonna go back to my nongamer life now. its sad.

[gigapixels Veteran]

So I loved the GameStop commercial so much (the one with Sgt. Johnson running through & everybody dancing) that I went ahead and pre-ordered it :laugh:

Well done to whoever made that commercial... It worked on me!

[neoadorable]

where did you see it? i've had the TV on Fox and CW most of the day and haven't noticed anything.

BTW munky i invite you check out page 103 of the leaderboard thread to see the sequence for yourself, it's not how you remember it. Mixing Xanax and Lyrica may hamper anger control, but it doesn't adversely affect memory, i thought i had it correctly.

[gigapixels Veteran]

I saw it on random channels all weekend. I don't really know which ones as I was out of town and I don't know the channel numbers for where I was.

Ah yaaaaah, can't wait for Midship to be back.

For anyone who doesn't know yet, here are gameplays for those maps from the more competitive side of Halo: Citadel --- Heretic (Midship)

[Unrealistic]

Man, that Halo: ODST game sure looks like.....a game.

You two need to bang and get it over with. The sexual tension is getting to be too much. :p

[spenser.d]

I finally preordered the game. Just got a job so I'll actually have some money to spend on gaming again, unlike the last half year or so...

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

any chance of a demo? Can't even remember whether Halo 3 had a demo or not.

Halo 3 had a beta with Crackdown and the family friends thing I believe. Outside of that nothing, and I'm pretty sure their won't be a demo for ODST.
