Have yet to pass Halo 3. Probably won't get to this weekend, as I'm away for a wedding; not to mention I have little to no time on the game, because my G/F demands all of my attention.

I have not grabbed a copy yet. It'll probably happen this weekend. I'm looking forward to 4x Co-Op.

Yeah, that Live Co-op/Campaign thing was a really nice addition. I will probably be trying the 4x coop this weekend.

I haven't finished the game as I jumped from single mission to coop and probably try to jump to multiplayer maps next to get a feel for them but the end will come in time. But I am very pleased with Halo 3!

I did have some trouble with the story as I did not remember going back to Earth in Halo 2. I thought the story abruptly ended after stopping some dinglehopper from firing some do-thingy. I sort of forgotten about Halo 2 and would just play Halo 1 whenever friends visit or Gears of War.


Zell: Initially I bought the core system when it was $299 and the system w/HD was $399. I quickly spent the other $100 for the harddrive. You do pretty much need it (especially to play all the regular Xbox games). I have two cord controllers and one wireless (which pretty much serves as our dvd remote). It's so awesome the ability to turn on and off the xbox from a distance!

You are right, Master Chief didn't go back to earth at the end of Halo 2.

Yeah, that's not covered in the games. To bridge the gap between HALO 2 and HALO 3, they have comic books. Namely HALO: Uprising.

I can't say that I've read them though.

Just the sheer joy you people seem to derive from it has me in contemplation of the purchase of an X-Box, Halo and all nessesary peripheries.

Buy it for Bioshock, Oblivion and Assassins Creed, and enjoy Halo too.

Yeah, I play Oblivion on and off here and there advancing a little bit each time. I am supposed to kill something that looks like a bad gasseous fart called a Will-O-Wisp that threatens to be a pain in the arse but I shall prevail. Just gotta find the right magical weapon.

I haven't played Bioshock or Assassin's Creed but I remember reading an article about Assassin's Creed and thinking it would be a cool game to play.

Will-o-the-Wisp brings me back to MAGIC THE GATHERING.

And Om, I will never forget when I initially bought an Xbox to play Halo 2 the voice message I received from you....

"Well, well, well. Sleepy time for Zell."

I don't think I ever got a chance to play Halo with you online, I may be drunkenly mistaken mind you. But I'll never forget the voice of the man who previously I had only seen online, and played StarCraft with.

I definintely need to get an Xbox 360 and I'll probably do so within the next month, I can almost guarantee you that.

So I look forward to playing video games with all you degenerates.

Beff - PLEASE get an Xbox 360 as I think that would be much awesomer than me trying to level up a Shaman on your rinky-dink WoW server.
