Freak out: Halo 3 arrives tonight
We wanted to create this post to give you a space to share how you'll be spending the evening. Are you you doing the midnight thing? Are you lining up already and reading this on a cell phone? Are you going to just eat some Chubby Hubby and cry yourself to sleep? Whatever, we just wanna hear about it. Because as of midnight tonight, it's on.
It's so very, very on.

Can't wait to start stomping the campaign on Legendary with the roommate. Been waiting for this ever since I shot up Tartarus gigantic, Gravity Hammer wielding ass a few years back.
FrankTheCrank @ Sep 24th 2007 2:06PM
This shithead is so excited he double posted...
Oh..Oh...Oh...the Haloz...the Haloz...
Microsoft, you better get customer support ready, cause there's going to be allot of RROD's heading your way.
Badboy1979 @ Sep 24th 2007 2:10PM
Wow, that's alot of hate there, Frank. What's up with that?
FrankTheCrank @ Sep 24th 2007 2:16PM
Guys, chill..I'm messing wit ya's...I mean no hate...
Guess I'm Halo envious...sniff, sniff...
I should just pick up a Zephyr and enjoy. I got enough AMEX points to get Zephyr and Halo3 fo free.

For some reason, it just warms my heart seeeing fanboi tools like frank the crank piss and moan.
I mean first he says on X3F and states:
"MGS4 craps all over the Haloz"
THEN he does this on X3F:
Fanswag: Win the ultimate Halo 3 setup Xbox 360 Fanboy

"give me the mutha ucking haloz..."
So what do we have here, a troll? Or a closest Halo fan. You decide.
Lord Chako @ Sep 24th 2007 2:23PM
Either way, he's still a tool.
NaeemTHM @ Sep 24th 2007 2:24PM
I'm happy because soon I will be on that battlefield killing you all.
Yet so very sad because the battlefield will be filled with prepubescent teens.
FrankTheCrank @ Sep 24th 2007 2:25PM
Knight...doing a little stalking. That's a little creepy.
dude..chill out. I'm a gamer at heart and would love the Haloz. I might even get a 360 before the end of the year.

FranktheCrank, I'm an AMEX man too. And those points relaly do add up...
Babel @ Sep 25th 2007 12:46PM
FrankTheCrank, whether you mean no hate or not, whether you hate Halo or not, we all still hate you and would appreciate it if you buggered off somewhere dark and cold and never came back. Thanks! :)

whymog @ Sep 24th 2007 1:52PM
Going with friends at midnight and jumping right into some four-player co-op.
It's looking like Halo 1 all over again in such a very good way.
Thanks Bungie.
Baked Pigeon @ Sep 24th 2007 1:55PM
Im heading down to gamestop to pay the rest of my preorder off so I dont have to screw around tonight.
Then im moving my TV and 360 over to a friends house around five o clock and setting up everything.
We then have to go to gamestop at 9 since we have to be inside the mall before it closes. Once we get our games we will ply co-op 3 player all night long till we beat the game, then play multiplayer all day long tuesday.
CANT WAIT. Did I mention there will be beer drinking :)
Vegnagun @ Sep 24th 2007 1:57PM
Sounds like as good a time as ever
upz @ Sep 24th 2007 2:51PM
Do you have a job?
edymond @ Sep 24th 2007 5:20PM
I bet that lucky man goes to college, where you can drink beer and play Halo 3 all day and night.
Gamer98 @ Sep 24th 2007 1:56PM
Thank God its almost here as soon as I get it I'm beating the game on Legendary then I'm going to get into some sweet sweet online.
Delta @ Sep 24th 2007 1:56PM
One feature alone is making me and my friends buy this game:
4 player ONLINE co-op. Thanks Bungie!
Vegnagun @ Sep 24th 2007 1:56PM
Me and a few of my friends are camping outside Gamestop soon. we all have it all paid off so we can just get on the fast line, take it home and play. The G4 countdown thing is ridiculous, anyone who cares enough about halo and has a 360 should be at Gamestop in the first place.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 24th 2007 2:11PM
I wish I had the time to do that stuff; I'm picking it tomorrow after work. Hell I'm not even sure if I'm even going to pick it up, according to my schedule maybe someone else is going to pick it up for me.
I might play it 1 hour Wednesday and 4 hours Saturday with any luck.
ahatter @ Sep 24th 2007 6:37PM
@Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler).
yet you have time to sit around here all day posting.
Zertoss @ Sep 24th 2007 1:57PM
I'll also be smashing through the campaign with my roommate, but later this week when UPS delivers it to me. We can hardly wait, especially since we just bought Sharp's LC-42D64U 42" LCD HDTV. That'll make Halo that much sweeter.
Until then, we'll do what we always do: work, watch some tv, sleep, with some Bioshock/Dead Rising/Metroid Prime 3/Sonic Rush Adventure/Diablo 2/Starcraft stuck in there somewhere.
LAboy @ Sep 24th 2007 1:57PM
I'll be picking my copy up at midnight. I'll probably leaving my house at 11:30pm or something. HALO 3 w00t!!!
baby sea tuna @ Sep 24th 2007 1:59PM
Impending Halo + 10 Hours Wait= Restless Leg Syndrome.
ReverendGadgetBoy @ Sep 24th 2007 4:36PM
Aww hell no. Restless leg syndrome is the most god-awful thing ever. Anyone who suffers from it knows what i mean.
Now I know ill get it. Power of suggestion FTL.
vodshuggah @ Sep 24th 2007 3:53PM
I'll be there at midnight selling it to all of you. Than taking the next day off:)
Paul P. @ Sep 24th 2007 1:59PM
Personally, I'll be staying at home and watching Heroes and that new Quantum Leap alike show.
Screw Halo 3. I've always thought the series was extremely overrated. I'd rather play Bioshock or Call of Duty 4 or Orange Box, all of which I think are deeper games.
Vegnagun @ Sep 24th 2007 2:02PM
Deeper games maybe, but far inferior online and replayability.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 24th 2007 2:04PM
If you dont like it why are you even posting?,don't screw it for the people who likes halo you dumb person
Cobra @ Sep 24th 2007 2:06PM
So how deep is The Orange Box. Gosh I didnt know it was even out yet.
Paul P. @ Sep 24th 2007 2:06PM
Well, because the thread is to post what you are doing tonight for Halo 3. That's my answer: nothing. And to say Call of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 are going to have far inferior online capability and replay value is just a fallacy.
Vegnagun @ Sep 24th 2007 2:28PM
Alright buddy but people are still playing halo 2 today. The amount of hours logged on Halo 2 blow COD2/3 out of the water.
-I haven't tried team fortress, but I am excited.
-Don't put COD4 MP in with Halo MP. It's a joke. When COD4 gives me char customization, level editor and replay, gimme a call. Don't get me wrong I love the beta, and I've been in it for a while, but Halo 3's MP is deep.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 24th 2007 2:00PM
I'm goign to play solo the campaing until I get some time to play it Co-op in the weekend.Meanwhile Forge FTW.
Halo 3 Machinima heaven.
sqwarlock @ Sep 24th 2007 2:03PM
I'm just glad I don't have to work the midnight launch at my EB tonight, though I do have to open up the store tomorrow.
I'll be playing Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon all week though. Never liked the Halo series.
JesseJames @ Sep 24th 2007 2:04PM
I'll actually be playing Warhawk 4 player co-op tonight!!!! I pre-ordered Halo 3; I'll pick it up some time tomorrow.
Fernando Rocker (NDF - Water Ring) @ Sep 24th 2007 2:13PM
Halo 3 ...................................................................................................................... Warhawk at the bottom.
Noshino @ Sep 24th 2007 2:15PM
How would you know Fernando? as far as I know you hate the PS3, which gives me the idea that you haven't even gotten (nor want) a chance to play Warhawk....=)
3cubed minus 3squared plus1 @ Sep 24th 2007 2:05PM
My day off is Wednesday so I'll go to Walmart and hope they still have copies left and play that all day.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 24th 2007 2:13PM
Legendary LOL,Limited with any luck but I'm sure there are enough Vanilla editions for everyone.
Teh_nubcheek @ Sep 24th 2007 2:07PM
I'm going to Gamestop around 9 p.m. for a Halo 3 tournament that will last till midnight. Then I'm going to take my copy home and play all night with my buddy over Live. I have to use a lot of my paid time off for work before I lose it so I decided to take this whole week off. Halo 3 everyday till Monday and I'm still getting paid. Awesome.
SpiralProphet @ Sep 24th 2007 2:07PM
Am i the only one who isn't amped about yet another FPS? i mean yes its cool and all and will probably be one of the best ones but still.. its not groundbreaking.. its not a new genere that will change the face of gaming.. its just another FPS with good graphics... just my $0.02
LAboy @ Sep 24th 2007 2:09PM
Yes you are
3cubed minus 3squared plus1 @ Sep 24th 2007 2:07PM
Is joystiq going to do a thing where we can leave our gamertags here so we can play each other?
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 24th 2007 2:14PM
I hope so,It would be great to have a tournament.
SymetriX @ Sep 24th 2007 2:49PM
I'd like to see what type of user-created content people from Joystiq can come up with. I'd definitely join a forge session with anyone here.

Heading to North Austin Wal Mart at 11:30 tonight. Will buy a legendary if they have one (I have cats)then will play some, sleep and took tomorrow off to FINISH THE FIGHT.
CV_Otaku @ Sep 24th 2007 2:10PM
I will actually be going to my local game shop tomorrow after I get off of work. I know the owner and he's already saving me a copy. It should be good times.
vinny @ Sep 24th 2007 2:11PM

GameOverChump @ Sep 24th 2007 2:12PM
First I am going to watch the season premier of Heroes, then head over to the local video game theif at 12:00 to get my copy. Me and 2 fellow co-workers to the day off work so we could game up for a solid 8 hours or until we beat the game at which point we will comence our ONLINE ASS WHOOPINGS!! Beware GAME OVER CHUMP is gonna bring the pain!!
LAboy @ Sep 24th 2007 2:15PM
