Foxy Cleopatra Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 ...taking September 22nd off work? It has become a tradition since Halo 2 to take the day (or two) off when a new one comes out. I will be on Live all morning and afternoon. If you're home send a Hallo!

MagitekAngel Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't know this was a tradition! Sounds like the total anarchy and economic collapse that always accompanies the release of a new Dragon Quest game in Japan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become a tradition since Halo 2 to take the day (or two) off when a new one comes out. I will be on Live all morning and afternoon. If you're home send a Hallo! ABSOLUTELY! I'm glad to hear that someone else does this besides me. Took the day off for Halo 2, 3 and even Halo Wars.

Red 5 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have taken days off of work for system launches, (Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii) Halo 2 and 3 and even, dare I say, Harry Potter Books. I have since retired from the midnight launch / take the next day off scene, but I am proud that there are still those who carry the torch!

Red 5 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 watch it suck IGN says 9.0 (if that counts for anything.) Just goy my gamefly update that is shipped. That one or two day lag between everyone in the world playing and me is going to suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16-bit Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) In traditional Halo fashion there are a number of Gamestop stores running midnight releases for ODST. Here's the list for those who have a reserve in at GS: Midnight ODST Releases I'll be grabbing mine @ midnight! Anyone else?

Tempest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I didn't have an X-Box when Halo came out so I didn't get it. I didn't have a 360 when Halo 2 came out so I didn't get it. I DO have a 360 now that Halo 3 is coming out... but I'm not going to get it. FPS haven't been my thing since Doom 2. I just can't get into them anymore. Now if Halo 3 was an RPG... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Eh...reviewers don't know shit. IGN will rate it good, because it's popular, not because it's good (though it will be good, unless they seriously fuck it up or something) Only 8 more hours (here, and I can slink to Walmat and harvest me a copy Then, well, there goes whta little freee time I'll have left. Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, your not Master Chief, but eh...I think it'll breathe new life into the Halo franchise IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest ECHO I cant get into them. I had fun with Gears of War but got bored. Same with Red Faction and thats not even a 1st person shooter really. I played Halo 1 (almost finished it), Halo 2 (barely) and didnt buy Halo 3. Played online for a while too, just cant seem to find the appeal. I played 1st person shooters for hundreds of hours in the 1990's and I just cant seem to get into them anymore no matter what new things they improve on. Just complete and total burnout.

16-bit Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) What's your gamertag Video? Foxy and Moycon, sent you guys requests too. IRON MAN XV is mine. If we can manage to all be on live at some point, it would be perfect for a Firefight match. Edited September 22, 2009 by 16-bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) My tag is moycon. I dont have this yet though. I just got back from Gamestop. The controller bundle wasn't being sold in the stores unless you pre-ordered it. I'm going to check the website and see if they are still available. EDIT : Well crap. They are not and the bundles are showing up on eBay for like $150-$200. Silly. Amazon does have a deal going on right now. ODST for $50.99 plus you get a $10 credit for a future video game purchase. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HWB68K/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p63_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1SF5MKXSYN2QBC27QTPT&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 Edited September 22, 2009 by moycon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
