One is the regular edition which is a $5 dollar minimum, the second is a collect. edition which is a $10 minimum. The final is a Legendary edition which is going to come in a master chief helmet that opens containing four disc, it's a $25 deposit.

A collectors edition I can understand, but a fucking master chief helmet? come the fuck on. I will personally laugh at everyone that buys that one. Fucking retarded.

The legendary edition is going to be EXTREMELY limited, will sell out soon and be worth a ton of money most likely.

Explain to me, what exactly am I preloading.
Regular I can understand, but what's the differences between the Collectors and Legendary, thru I'm going to try to pre-order the Helmet thing, but what are the Four Discs? Halo 1 & 2, with an making of DVD? |

Do you need to play Halo, and Halo 2 to really know what the hell is going on in 3? I was going to buy Halo 2 but I didn't play the first one so I didn't know if I could get 2,.

Don't play the first Halo if you plan on playing 2 or even 3. Then you will realize how crappy of a game Halo 2 is and how crappy Halo 3 is going to be.

DS is being irrational, Combat Evolved and Part 2 are decent games, you can do no wrong in either purchase.
Especially if you like silly things like SOLID MULTIPLAYER. I don't have to warn you about cheaters on Halo 2's Live play, but even that's avoidable if you chill with your buds online. Halo 1's multiplayer isn't as fleshed out as far as options go but for what it does you probably won't find a better 16plyr CTF engine. |

What I was saying that if you play the first Halo, a good game, you will, most likely, be disappointed in what they did with the multiplayer in Halo 2. And it seems like they are continuing to kill their multiplayer with Halo 3. Hardly irrational. Just don't believe the hype because they are really just your basic FPS.

Halo is nothing more than the typical space-army shooter games. I personally think the online is overrated, but I hate getting my ass kicked by 10 year olds and then they talk shit to you and then 30 year olds start talking shit to you.

yeah freakin' impossible to play online just for fun. You either get murdered by cheaters or NERDS who play like 20 hours a day.

Halo 2 online, ill admit ive gotten very aggitated, it raised my blood pressure, but there is nothing like getting 3 other buds in your party and just jumping from game to game. Halo 2 is fun, once you stop and realize that its just a game and there i no reason to cuss at the TV. People get too caught up in 'ranks' and what not, if you just relax and say 'meh, its only a rank, and people cheat, thats what happens' then youll have a good time. Like my stable mate Cowlicks said, the best way to play Halo on Live is in a group with 3 other buddies.

The only thing Halo 2 did sort of right was the matchmaking, everything else about the Halo games that people think is so amazing has been done on the PC way before. If Huxley turns out as good as planned, it will stomp Halo 3.

Should I spend $200-$400+ to get my PC to play games that did what Halo did "way before", and do it again to keep up with these games every so often; or do I get a console and play the same games without worrying about upgrades?
I am a console gamer. |

lol.. looks just like Halo 2. Gay.
With exception of a few new weapons and camera features, it looks like it plays exactly the same. |

I don't care what it looks like... the new features are a Godsend. These guys at Bungie are more gameplay oriented than alot of developers out there. They talk about things that needed to be addressed.

Who gives a fuck about new features when the gameplay sucked in Halo 2? Features aren't going to stop the game from feeling and playing shitty.

I had a blast in 1, but I will always stand by my words when I say that Halo 2 was a steaming pile of dog shit. Will pretty much hate Halo 3 in an instant if they used the same physics engine.

I had fun with Halo 1 and 2, but I mostly agree with this. Compared to Halo 1, Halo 2 was horrid. I'm seriously hoping 3 redeems it. |

I only find Halo 2 enjoyable when I'm playing with friends. That is the only reason I am debating getting Halo 3. The jump from Halo to Halo 2 was good for graphics but pretty terrible multiplayer wise.

Gears of War is overrated. So's Virtua Fighter. And let's talk about Unreal Tournament...

Agree with you on Gears. Not so much on Virtua Fighter. Anybody hear how long Halo 3 is supposed to be. If it's going to be another game I can knock out in a weekend, I'm not gonna bother getting it. |

I play Halo for multiplayer. I imagine Halo 3 will be longer anyway since it was a complaint from part 2.

Official Release:
September 25 They seem confident with this one. I'm guessing it'll get pushed to Nov. 20-something anyway. |

Gears of war is over rated but it's still one of the best shooters out. And has an amazing co-op story

I thought the beta was supposed to open today, and I was curious so I popped Crackdown in, but it seems to still be unavailable.
