I HAVE halo 3 but sssshhhh but dont tell microsoft

Yes i wake up this morning to find my sister standing over my bed dropping a parcel force package on my chest which hurt like crazy. Anyway after i wipe the tears away I open it and there i see the HALO 3 LIMITED EDITION.

As fate would have it my ELITE has not arrived yet so i might have to go round my mates house and play it, YEAH im looking at you Tiz.

Impressions coming soon..... I always wanted to say that here.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

I read that some people who got their hands on Halo 3 tried to play it (which requires you to connect to Xbox live) and got busted.
They got banned until december 12th 9999...

So you' re saying that somebody who owns an Xbox360 but doesn' t have it hooked up to the internet will not be allowed to play Halo 3? I find that unlikely.

Does anyone know why it' s December 12th they are banned until??

It' s all good, because I will play it, just not on my console, I will rendezvous with
Gaiden Black and tear apart the campaign mode.



Except, it won' t be on my 360 or his...

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Where did you order it from?

I know it sounds weird. The article wasn' t written by videogame journalists so they didn' t include anything else but the fact that the guys were banned, and that it was because they had to connect to Xbox Live.

When i read it, it was safe to do campaign, but not hook up and play over live

My friends dad works for bungie so........

Just playing i got it from COMET.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

I don' t think i' ve ever bought a game from Comet. Heh, maybe i should' ve!!!

I gotta wait another week...

I am thinking i should just go and buy another 360.

Having a one week head start is sweet but i should be in Uni now ahhh screw that I AM FINISHING THE FIGHT.

Wait a minute... your postal service is called " Parcel Force" ? Do they fight crime too?

This whole story seems unlikely to me. Have other people received halo 3 around the world as well?

I could show you pictures but i cant remember that site where i can link them to.

Instead i would be happy to tell what happens at the start of the game.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

You can' t remember ANY site that lets you upload photos? Photobucket... Flickr.... it' s the internet man, do a search! Email me the photos and I' ll host them on my site: giles AT zoonbats DOT com.

Gaiden please do tell the story I want have one until they fix the design. So please tell me the story piece by piece

I only know the start of the game as its taken me about 3hrs to get past the first bit. Legendary is a BITCH.

The graphics are nothing to write home about but through VGA its kinda sweet. Oh yeah soo far the game seems to have a bit of humour to it which is kinda weird. Caboose and Tucker are in it from RVB.

Mikayd ill have the full story for ya by Saturday as i plan to finish this game with a mate.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

So do they just ban you from Halo 3 online or from Xbox Live completely?

I have not had the chance to go online yet and dont planned to until Wednesday, but my friend gave me his 360 until then so i might have a cheeky game online tomorrow.

Oh yeah here are some pics for those who are still in doubt i joined photbucket thanks for that zoy.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

Halo makes my eyes burn, too! The games are THAT BAD!

Hey majik do you if its possible to run 3D studio max on the macBook or shall i just use mac' s own 3d software.

Nah, you' d need to be running Windows for MAX.

The best thing to do is to look at job listings and see what requirements, packages and experience are generally required for the position you' re after. ZBrush (which does support OS X) is also almost always necessary, and both Mudbox and 3D Studio max are what most companies are after (but they don' t support OS X)

Im much more excited for the Crysis Demo, (I wonder why)

I had the chance to see/play with this in action and it' s fukcing incredible... 1080p bliss.. Best way the describe the picture is like a massive 100" back-lit Photograph covering your wall.. i wanted to reach out and touch it, it seemed that vivid and sharp.. This was displayed next to one of the top plasma' s too (Pioneers PRO-FHD1).. And still held it' s own. Movement was super-smooth due to Panasonic' s Smooth technology.. Really is the holygrail..

Crysis looks bland to me, looks too generic and without personality. It definetly looks good.

Ill give the demo a spin, though my none dual processor will definetly cry at it.

But having just played Bioshock, any fps game is going to be hard pressed to keep up, even Halo 3 (hey check it out, i pulled the thread back in the right direction)

Holy shit VF. Overkill, but you' ll love the ***ing thing anyways. And hey, you only live once.

how much are you paying for something like that?

How do you make your money, and where do you keep your stash so i can rob you

Oh, he doesn' t buy stuff. When he says " order" he means he ordered someone to steal it for him. You see, VF is a crime lord.

OMG the needler is a SIN..........those who use it shall be punish.

The sword is totally bullocks which hurts me as i was one of the few people who thought it was a balanced weapon in HALO 2.

Its all about the gravity HAMMER.

Rest in PEACE Cetra and GANGSTA you guys will be missed..........

It' s not theft when if falls off the truck.

I don' t give a rats rear how cool this game is going to be,

THE DISK AND MANUAL ART IS CRAP!
