    I have a possible spoiler- This my own prediction but you will all fucking hate me unless I spoiler tag it

    DO NOT CLICK THIS UNLESS YOU WANT HALO3 ending to *POSSIBLY* be spoiled.

    in the halo ad...
    The old guy is actually master chief

    This info may or may not be accurate, but if it is true-- I'm almost certain it will create such a ruckus. No I do not have any bungie direct info. No I am not certain of this However, I am very suspicious of this being the case.


    Nah, if you go to the website for that ad campaign they have several people giving interviews (in text until the game comes out, and one video won't be released until October 1st, so I'm guessing that one will talk about the ending a bit) about that battle -- I'm guessing that particular battle will be the final map of the single player game, with Master Chief single handedly breaking the back of the Covenant command structure, or somesuch.

    The whole "believe" thing makes me think that Master Chief doesn't survive the game, but who knows?


    In other news, I still need to play Halo 2. How hard is it to find nowadays?

    Of course, that's only for gametypes allowing that. It's not like you can bust into a random Team Slayer game and drop several fusion cores on somebody's head.

    Not hard. I see copies in my Local EBStops all the time for like 20ish bucks. Heck, every once in awhile I see the Limited edition.

    Anyone notice how some things (mattresses and the copy machines in Highrise) are totally impenetrable? A steel wall, yeah that makes sense, but bullets should obliterate copy machines.

    I don't know about you, but I always buy a bullet proof printer. Its a lot more expensive, but I think the advantages are apparent.

    Yea because no one has ever received an award or medal after death, I guess he has no family but that doesn't really mater he is the most famous war hero EVER.

    It means nothing until the chose it as one of the three lines of text to put on the very detailed website about his memorial.

    Timed falling respawns from the sky would be really, really cool. Especially for something like skeet shooting. I hope we can spawn a ton of fusion cores for that.

    If it's anything like our military (which it seems to be) then there isn't a specific award for dying in the line of duty. However the manner in which you die could well earn you a different citation, which would then be awarded posthumously.

    And in Halo 3 news, I paid off my pre-order. Sadly I'm only getting the regular edition as I'm very short of cash. According to the Gamestop guy, they're doing a midnight release thats, according to him, "Going to be really cool."

    No other specifics other than that.

    so guys


    It's gonna be 6 weeks before my xbox lands back on my doorstep, fixed.

    I was kinda thinking of just buying a new xbox so that I don't go nuts, and selling my fixed one when it comes.

    Do any of you have any experience with this? Should I buy a new box with a new harddrive, or buy a new box without a hard drive and use my own?

    From my friend's experience, who was doing the same thing you're thinking about, he had a relatively hard time finding the non Harddrive xbox. That and the Halo 3 xbox is coming out tomorrow, so why not just get that and slap on your old hardrive to a new green beast.

    I'll be doing the same thing

    either finding a premium with an HDMI port or just going Halo 3 xbox.
