[Femto]

So, it's a date then?

Wednesday the 23rd?

I'm in as long as I don't have to work.

I'll get the game tomorrow.

Fuck that midnight craziness.

[LordMune]

Yes, manly male men will spend some quality time together doing manly things in games aimed at a primarily male audience this wednesday at around 2:30 AM GMT.

[Buzkashi]

I'ma beat the campaign before I play the multiplayer. In the mean time you guys should practice slamming your controllers in frustration and anger.

[Femto]

Be warned, I'm probably wicked bad at Halo (never played Halo 2 multiplayer) and I scream like a girl every now and then.

I saw some fags lined up at GameStop already.

lol

[Buzkashi]

I scream like a girl every now and then.

I can vouch for that. Damn did i spell that right? I'm using Safari so I dont have that good ol' Firefox spellcheck.

[Gaiseric]

I probably can't play until midnight on wednesday. If you are still playing, let me know.

Gamertag: Viduur

[LordMune]

Wednesday the 23rd?

Just noticed that this is all kinds of wrong. 02:30 GMT = Wed.26th -> 21:30 EST = Tues.25th

[Femto]

Fucking timezones drive me fucking crazy.

I'll probably be dicking around with this game tonight anyway so I'll be around.

[Buzkashi]

Was playing he Campaign a lil. Got to the part where you try and kill the scarab in the ATV's. I cant help but feel how much more fun the campaign is with friends playing with you.

[Femto]

I'll probably play the campaign by myself first.

Then I'll play co-op in Heroic or Legendary with a buddy during the weekend.

[Femto]

Well, I got the game and I got some beers so hopefully I'll be drunk as fuck cursing you assholes out over Live tonight.

Good times.

[LordMune]

I'll upload a couple of screenshots as soon as Halo 3 is finished brutally raping Xbox Live and shit starts working again.

[Buzkashi]

We'll I beat the game. That endng was some bullshit. I call it lack of creativity.

[Femto]

I was pretty blasted yesterday.

I played this game nearly all day.

Good times.

[LordMune]

The Campaign is making me its bitch the hard way on Heroic. I was more than decent at Halo 1 and to a lesser extent 2 (who the hell replayed the Halo 2 campaign?), but Halo 3 makes me feel the pain. Part of it probably has to do with my less-than-excellent pathfinding skills (some of the earliest encounters in the game are either a bitch or a breeze depending on your angle of approach), although that has definitely improved in subsequent chapters. The checkpointing and the Arbiter's AI is more than a bit weird, too.

Anyway, I'm now on Tsavo Highway, being raped repeatedly by Choppers and a couple of Wraiths in an endless cycle of torment and I have no clear idea of how to get out of it.

[Buzkashi]

So I've been playing multiplayer all day. Not too much different than Halo2. But thats not neccesarily a bad thing. One really cool thing is the armor customization. By unlocking more and more achievement points you are able to unlock more and more peieces of differnet armor sets.



You can mix and match pieces of sets. Definatley wanna try out the Hayabusa. And the Marathon one.

[Tempest]

I've actually been looking around and trying to find the Spartan Armor variants, thanks Buz. I'm personally looking forward to seeing the CQB and Rogue in action. Couldn't really care about the Elites though (That's mostly just Halo 2 prejudice sneaking in though)

[LordMune]

I really really really want to get my hands on the Mark V and Marathon ones (please don't tell me you have to get every achievement in the game to get the Marathon one).

I beat the game, and I feel strangely... hollow now. Also, why do you get achievement sfor both Heroic and Normal when you beat the game on Heroic, but no achievement for Easy?

I didn't manage to find a single terminal on my first time through, and that really irks me. I really want that Marathon Man achievement because I love me some Marathon.

EDIT: Best last boss ever.

[Gaiseric]

I beat the game, and I feel strangely... hollow now. Also, why do you get achievement sfor both Heroic and Normal when you beat the game on Heroic, but no achievement for Easy?

Because thats not an achievement.

[LordMune]

Because thats not an achievement.

Ah, but of course.

[Buzkashi]

I unlocked the Hayabusa armor set.

[Grahf]

my Gamertag is: Drae324


Buzkashi what is the campaign Meta game? Is it the free for all scoring system with campaign missions? Also do you have to get 15K before the multipliers kick in or after?

[LordMune]

I'll be lookin' for them skulls with a friend in campaign on Legendary (co-op) in an hour, if any of you fagz are up for it, join in.

[Grahf]

I got 11 of 13 skulls. Including all the gold ones.
