It's today, ooh boy it's today! Finally 2 years of waiting and it's here. MY lucky pair of underroos is clean and ready for battle, calendar clear of work for the remainder of the week after today. I am so ready to send laser blasts up Covennant ass!
 
have fun man, ill be waiting (patiently, still playing farcry veteran diffaculty/C.O.D. mulitplayer and half life 2 coming out soon, amongst alot of other good titles i need to check out) for the pc version. my thumbs cannot control games for the death of me with those thumb sticks.
 
I have a few phone calls to make tonight. I know EB is running Midnight Madness here and I could get it then. But I have $30 in gift cards from Media Play so I want to get it there. I don't think they're running the midnight sale but I'm going to call to find out. And to see if I can have them hold a copy. Yes, I'm going in without a net. No preorder. Nothing. We'll see what they can do for me....

Good luck, if the presale numbers are any indication you will need it!
 
Just found out Media Play is running a midnight sale of Halo 2. But the guy there hasn't tallied all the copies yet so I don't know how many will be available. But you can bet your butt I'll be there at 11:59 waiting to have at it....

Okay that was just funny :cheers:
 
yea my brother will be getting it tom after school and you bet he and i will be playing all night!!!!!!
 
hmmmmm....HB hasn't chimed in yet. I bet he's still glued to his TV. I'm waiting to hear his first impressions of this one. I didn't get a chance to run out at midnight last night so I'm going to take my chances after work today. I'm hoping it's as good as they say...
 
Ok here's da news! Last night I got to Gamestop @ 7:45p, there were already 8 people in line camped out. I got my chair and my Fall of Reach book and waited it out. By the time the doors opened there were 1500+ people in line in the food court! This is a po-dunk town and 1500 people showed up for the release! I drove home in under 5 minutes and had it on by 12:15a. I love it, I love it, I fiddlesticking love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to killing the covenant fucks!
 
That's what I like to hear!!!! I was on IGN and Xbox.com and there were some less than nice reviews. But I'll take them all with a grain of salt. So are the grapics good? How's the gameplay? What difficulty are you playing? Good guns? Good splatter? Good storyline? Guess I hope to answer these questions for myself after work. Only 1 more patient to go....
 
Less than nice reviews? Those guys are smoking crack, this has to be the best game ever created, I don't toss stuff like that around lightly. Gamespy is a better judge in my mind, they don't EVER give 5 stars out, and they just did............http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/halo-2/564301p1.html

Great guns, better splatter, so far the story just has me engulfed. Aliens are harder, blood splatter is at an all time high! I just love it words really can't explain. Good luck in getting your copy! Have fun when you do get it.
 
now that is some crazy ass poop!!! the lines were out the doors and around the the buildings at 12.00 midnight the news media also covered the relese!!all i know is someones pocket is super fat!!!

Hmm IGN gave it a 98 out of 100, what more do you want?
 
Ooops. I was talking about the forums. Yeah, it got great reviews from the sites themselves. But there were a lot of members who came out bashing it this morning. So I've decided to take it all in stride. It's like they say, the people who really like the game are still playing it and haven't taken the time to post their positive reviews. Screw them. I just need to shoot something....

There will always be that gaming crowd that disses a game just to be saying something different than the rest. The seem to attack games with mega hype like Halo 2 had. They say the don't like it but I bet my TV they are glued to it having a fiddlesticking ball right now.
 
dam my bro had to go take the Xbox wiht him I'm gonna have to hijack it next time i go over there LOL.
 
my wife is on her way to pick up my h2 right now. ill be on line by 9
any one wanting to play my user name is ZANDOR MAD DOG look me up
 
Well, I grabbed one last night on the way home from work. And I gotta say it's GREAT! Screw those fools who start in with the "it's not as good as H1". Right now I think it's every bit as good. I think some people were expecting it to be a revolutionary game like the first. Well, it ain't revolutionary, but it's damn good. I like the changes they made. It's not too far off the first one, but I like the dual wield. It takes a bit of getting used to having 2 guns but I like it. And I think the scenery is nicer. More textures. And you can interact more with it. Moving boxes and stuff. Blowing up cars. When the Covenant shoots at you, you see damage. I was fighting 2 Hunters and when they shot at me, they'd actually blow away parts of walls that I was using as cover. So it keeps you on your toes. I had to tear myself away from it last night just to get some sleep. I don't care what anyone says. It's a great game and totally addicting....
