Halo 3

[daw77]

I saw a few days ago that they have bumped up the release date from November to September. Just figured I would let anyone that hadn't heard know. I'm pumped :rock:

Bungie hasn't announced anything or set a date.

Neither would I. They have certainly taken their time with the previous installments of Halo.

They don't disappoint once they get here, but they wait is always looooooooong

Speaking of Bungie, does anyone remember the game: Myth?

Yes

At least the multi-player beta will give folks something to play. It should be along in a couple months.

 

[SWIL]

Yes

That was one BLOODY game!:rock:

I read on another board that Bungie has an article up this morning about Halo 3 beta starting in May. I can't link it from work so maybe someone else will take care of that.

The Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta will go live on May 16th at 12:00 AM PDT and run through June 6 th at 11:59 PM PDT. That means that folks who purchased specially marked copies of Crackdown, or won a spot in the Beta through the “Rule of Three” or other regional promotions, will be able to log into their Xbox Live Gold accounts, download and play the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta and enjoy an early peek at the multiplayer aspect of the game.

Edit: see if this link works Bungie.net : Content : Multiplayer Madness!

Halo 3 Preorders Reach Over Four-Million in North America While Spider-Man 3 is breaking records at the box office, Halo 3 is apparently breaking records of its own—before it is even out. by: John Olin
May 10, 2007

According to Gamestop officials, over four million preorders have been made for Halo 3 on Xbox 360. Xbox Evolved has verified this information at five different Greater Cincinnati Gamestop locations, including Gamestop stores, EB Games stores, and Funcoland stores, all under the same umbrella. This information was verified at all locations, however company a document showing this information was not revealed.

In the coming months, if this information is verified this would be the most preordered videogame of all time. Many of Gamestop’s employees believe that a large portion of the preorders are being made by consumers that don’t even own a Xbox 360, that are just waiting for the price of the system to go down.

In comparison, Grand Theft Auto IV’s combined PS3 and 360 preorders at the chain of stores comes in a very distant second. Microsoft reported three weeks before the release of Halo 2 in 2004 that the combined retail outlet preorders for the title was 1.5 million, which at the time was a record in itself. Gears of War, the best-selling title on Xbox 360 has worldwide barely cracked the four million mark. If this is all true, it is very likely that Halo 3 will outsell even Halo and Halo 2 combined. We will have more as it develops.

I know you copied that article, but those figures are such complete BS. There are no 4 million pre-orders at Gamestop. For those keeping record, that would be close to 1,000 pre-order per store. Hell, let's assume they sold a million online, that's still around 750 per store.

What a bogus article.

 

[milohimself]

I wouldn't be suprised, however, if preorder lists nationwide are full and Halo 3 is the biggest game launch ever.

It's a long shot but I think it's possible
