The inevitable Halo thread...

[Jetrooper]

I'm really excited about the Firefight mode. It's supposed to be like Horde or Nazi Zombies...but with Covenant. FTW

Title Update 2 cut all of those in half which I thought was pretty sweet.

Anyone pre-ordered ODST yet? I got the Special Edition for Father's day. Come Sept. 22nd I'll be rockin firefight with Sgt. Johnson!

If anybody is unbelievably amazing at swat gametype, hit me up. I'm stuck on level 45...I'm winning and losing exactly 50% of my games so my rank is going nowhere.

Nevermind finally got up to 47 in swat. [/nerd]

Preordered ODST the other day, now I just have to try and not spend $60 until September.

[GIR3691]

I don't really care about Sgt. Johnson as a character skin in multiplayer. That's a pretty weak reason to pre-order. I'll just buy it when it comes out. Simple as that.

[Ty55]

I figure I may as well get as much content as I can for the money. Plus I would probably be basically screwed if I didn't pre-order because I dont think they'd just have ODST Special Editions with the cool controller laying around extra.

[Jetrooper]

Guys, I need your advice. Which one should I pre-order?

Halo 3: ODST
Modern Warfare 2
Mass Effect 2
Assassin's Creed 2

They all look good, and I only have 70 bucks at the moment.

Mass Effect 2 is not coming out until after the rest by quite some time so that shouldn't be on the list. My preference out of the rest would be Halo, but Modern Warfare 2 will be super popular on LIVE. Assassin's Creed II I'm still unsure of, and I loved the first. If ME 2 were coming out alongside the rest though that would be my choice.

@ThinkingImpaired, how do you have a 47 in SWAT when you're a 45?

Made a new account with the 1-month I got from microsoft when my xbox died.

Picked up ODST tonight! It's not bad. 2 disks, 1 for campaign 1 for multiplayer. The firefight gametype is pretty cool too.

[Firespray]

Went to the midnight launch last night and was there for about 7 hours Was pretty fun, they had a mini Halo 3 tournament there and whoever won would be first in line and win this giant cardboard display for the game (I lost my 2nd round ). Been playing through the campaign, haven't played around with Firefight yet.

[GIR3691]

I'm just going to throw this out there. I'd like to get a Johnson promo code, and I have seen reports that a few stores have gotten a surplus of them and are giving them away or selling them on the cheap. If anyone has seen this, please pick up a copy for me. Otherwise, it's not the end of the world.

[Lord T]

Hours of fun, I like this game much more than Halo 3. I have to admit I've kind of got behind on my work as a result but hey that means I'm loving the game that much huh?

[Jetrooper]

I'm playing this tomorrow at my friend's house. We're gonna beat Legendary and try for the Vidmasters. Classic = hardest thing on Earth.

I'm still trying to find some people to do the firefight achievement with me. I keep hearing it's not too hard but takes around an hour and a half.

Oh frak me... Now help me get the achievement

When I was playing with Jet, the game was going on a little over 2 hours before lag crapped out the entire game

[GIR3691]

I just got the game from my house and will be playing it this week. Gamertag's my FBTB username.

Fastest I've seen is 2 hours, 4 minutes. I had to take Advil because I got a nasty migraine for staring at the screen for 4½ hours.
