Halo 3: Fall 2007

by James Ransom-Wiley { Feb 17th 2007 at 4:29PM }

Surprised? Probably not. Bungie's latest Weekly Update delivers the first of many promotional images to come, making official Halo 3's "Fall 2007" release window -- to be likely whittled down to "November" in the coming months. Of course, the game will be preceded by a well-known multiplayer beta test, which "will not be starting next week" (when Crackdown hits retail). "We're still aiming for a Spring release [for the beta], but it could be more like late Spring," says Bungie.

I knew it

Halo 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Metal Gear Solid 4

All 4 will wind up competing in the same month, you just wait

Largest... post image... EVER. I mean really, the thing looks like a Microsoft advertisement. It's more vertical pixels than any poor fool on 800x600 could ever handle!

Regardless, as an avid Halo 1 and 2 junkie, I eagerly await the release of both the beta and the final release. I preordered the Legendary edition the very second my local GameStop would let me; last year it was actually very difficult to get a copy of Halo 2 if you didn't preorder. And of course, I will be there at midnight the night of release.

Halo is soooo overrated.

Day old bread news. Yum! :p

brandon @ Feb 17th 2007 4:42PM

i was wondering how long it would be before you guys actually posted the story from my tip... and yes fall will be one major season for games: GTA, Halo 3, metal gear solid, super mario galaxy, and at least a few other first party nintendo games i cant think of right now

I am selling Halo360.com for a couple a hundred bucks. Anyone interested?

gdub @ Feb 18th 2007 2:45AM

lets hope it's actually a good game and not just ok like the first two.

Slaziman @ Feb 17th 2007 4:58PM

Tom, email me at johndevries@hotmail.com, I'm interested in that domain!

@ brandon

Metroid Prime 3 (others too, but none that big)

I'll pity multiple console owners this fall, they'll have some tough choices to make

Wiggydee @ Feb 17th 2007 5:37PM

On topic: Oooooh, pretty!

Off topic: Am I the only one who's looking forward to ssbb more than mp3 and galaxy?

All things accounted for, the second half of this year looks to be capable of putting the whole of last year to shame. (At least in the console side of things, I personaly don't see any highly anticipated handheld titles coming)

Slaziman @ Feb 17th 2007 6:22PM

Dude you aren't alone, I want SSBB like REALLY REALLY bad.

Mark @ Feb 17th 2007 8:39PM

MGS 4 is not coming out till 2008. Just watch. And then it will come to the 360 later. Like 6 months or later. Konami has to make their money somehow. I still can't find a Wii. Aaaaarrrrggghh!!!

Josh Gardner @ Feb 17th 2007 10:14PM

Fall 2007, eh? Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is coming out on PC, PS3 and 360 around the same time. I wonder if they'll move their release date forward to avoid being overshadowed? I love my Half-Life, but if I could only buy one, Halo would win by a hair.

"Halo is soooo overrated."
----------------------------------------
If it's "soooo overrated" then why don't you name one console FPS with a better online multiplayer? You can't.

Hooray! Our daily Halo 3 news finally! It was getting late in the day and I was getting worried it wouldn't show!

Seriously though if this isn't turning into the single most overhyped game ever (and consequently, the single biggest disapointment ever) please tell me a more overhyped game than this. Ever.
