Yeah, I probably would have ordered it from a service that'd deliver it to me if my brother hadn't already.
Pre-order it and just drive to the story, and walk past everyone and pick up your copy. I cant wait for this game!
I can't wait for that midnight release party. Hahaha. And the subsequent 24-hour gaming marathon/class abandoning that will immediately follow.
I can see that no one will be playing any other game that day on Live. Live is gonna be clogged with all you nerds I haven't played but an hour or two on Multiplayer in Halo with a friend and a little bit of the Campaign of two; but I am actually excited for III. Don't know the story, suck at multiplayer, but am pumped for this game.
"Dear students across the country, We regret to inform you that President Bush has canceled classes for the entire world today, due to terrorist activity that is keeping students from their classes to begin with. We believe Microsoft is behind this most heinous act. Sincerely, [name of your dean]" Bush can do that, y'know.
Having monitor vs. monitor matches in Forge is going to be freaking hilarious. Has anyone been reading up on Forge? [youtube]F77i0Rd_z7Q[/youtube] Just over two weeks!
Well, you'll be able to have two monitors on separate teams so it'll all even out. You drop a tank, I drop rockets. Hah. It's a matter of which monitor can out do the other. But Forge and Matchmaking are separate from one another, so you'll know what you're getting into.
I read (I don't remember where) that Forge was going to be a gametype on matchmaking. Unless I misunderstood.
Nah, the new map variants (weapon types, weapon placements, player gravity (rumoured), spawn points, vehicle spawns, etc) created in Forge are the ones that will be showcased in a specific matchmaking playlist called Bungie Recommends (I think that's the name). I don't believe monitors will be present in the games.
