Apparently it's pretty good.
I'll be getting my copy tomorrow hopefully. After I run through the campaign solo, I'll be up for co-op/multi-player.

My brother is getting it tomorrow as well (he uses the tag SP2000). I'm not much into consoles myself and don't really care about it.

Heh, he's already on my friends list. He sent me a FR when browsing HLP apparently.

I probably will later this week if there are any copies to be had.

IceFire · **Reply #4 on:** September 24, 2007, 11:54:05 am

Probably at Christmas. Looks really nice...reviews are generally positive although everyone says they hate the last mission. No spoilers but I guess I'll have to see for myself what happens.

I have a copy reserved... but who knows when I can pick it up, since I do not wish to stand in line for 3+ hours to get it on release day.

Add that to the fact that I reserved a copy in my hometown... but my college is not in my hometown...

Already played through it. Campaign mode is good, but not great.

Not so serious spoilers:

Spoiler:

The campaign feels thrown together, and the last mission is basically the last mission of Halo with the Arbiter in it. Lots of the music is just reused from Halo 1/2. The ending doesn't explain much, it's just got that "everyone goes home" feeling.

Serious spoilers:

Spoiler:

As you may have guessed, John 117 dies. What may be surprising is that Cortana dies with him, and the Arbiter lives.

Forge and Multilayer altogether are excellent. I think that shows what their focus was in Halo 3.

Had the Limited edition reserved at best buy for a few months, and I drive right past it when i go to college every day, so I'll be grabbing it on the way there tomorrow. the helmet and stuff is cool for the Legendary edition, but I don't have the extra money to spend on it.

Have you read this? Sounds menacing.

Hippo · **Reply #9 on:** September 24, 2007, 02:17:06 pm

yeah, I saw a video on IGN of the guy opening his total legendary + halo3 themes 360 package and the disk was scratched to hell. I'll be opening it before leaving the store to make sure there's nothing blatantly obtrusive on it

i dont like getting into games with previous prequels that i havent played. i cant play something 3 without playing something 1 and 2. sence my annual game budget isnt that big, no. i wont touch halo with a 10 foor pole. i also get this gut feeling that its an overrated piece of crap. compaired to some of the things ive seen with the idtech4 engine (doom 3, quake 4, prey to name a few). and with quake wars comming out ive got better things to do.

there's spoilers in the comments on that article, so beware, but the whole thing is a spoof by sony to overdramatize the issue

Polpolion · **Reply #12 on:** September 24, 2007, 05:20:47 pm

I played Halo 1 and thought it was very overrated, so I'm not bothering with 2 or 3.

phreak · **Reply #13 on:** September 24, 2007, 05:30:54 pm

Should be getting it tomorrow sometime.

Gloriano · **Reply #14 on:** September 24, 2007, 06:32:10 pm

Getting it tomorrow sometime around evening

jr2 · **Reply #15 on:** September 24, 2007, 08:31:12 pm

H3 PC? Oh, no? Well, nvm then... at least until I know for sure the X360 can be hacked into a Linux box and turned back with the flip of a switch and M$ won't be any wiser... and I have more spare $$$.

achtung · **Reply #16 on:** September 24, 2007, 09:42:54 pm

Oh and I'll be getting a bought copy tomorrow if I can find one.
