Wow, early preorder

I can't believe they are offering preorders on this so early. Take a look at the sales rank and you'll see why! There isn't even a vague date for this game yet. The earliest you can expect it is September, 2007 but expect it in November...to sell more 360's around Xmas time.

There will be 3 versions of Halo 3 next year. The regular edition for $59.99, a "limited" edition for 69.99 which will have some bonus content and steelbook casing, and this Legendary edition for 99.99. This edition will have 3 dvds of bonus content and be housed in a replica Spartan helmet. The "limited" edition will probably only be limited to the amount they can sell, however this legendary edition will actually have individual serial numbers...so it'll be something of a collector's item. I wonder if Weta designed the housing? Hmmm...

UPDATE (03/16): Microsoft has released final MSRPs for the items, the only change is that the Legendary edition is now priced at 129.99. I do not know how this affects preorders taken by Amazon before the price increase. The contents of the Legendary Edition have also been slightly altered. Finally, there will be content on the limited edition that will NOT be in the Legendary edition, however officials at Microsoft have hinted that Legendary buyers will have access to the material somehow, likely as download content.

UPDATE (04/03): Here's a pretty cool feature on the making of the Legendary Edition. See comments.

Update: (05/15): Finish the fight, September 25th, 2007. Confirmed.

MAN...

Saw the trailer,and litteraly had to snap my mouth shut at the end. on this particular item,it comes with absolutely tons of stuff so I would buy it if you're a really hardcore Hardcore Halo fan like me.If not,than the regular version will be fine.
THIS GAME WILL BE BEST EVER!! P.S. not really a kid, just seemed easier that way. BUY THE GAME NOW!

With Gears of War already out, this is just going to add to the big slap in the face of PS3. Sony has tried for over 5 year to get a halo killer now they have to find a Gears of War and Halo 3 killer...good luck. this game will be the game to end all games ...look out now!

HALO is more than a phenomenon

Ok, so the game is coming out in november07, halo 2 was a good but not great sequel to the almighty halo1, halo3 is like halo 1 and way way better. Hence, it's a given that the most anticipated game of all time will no doubt get 5 out of 5 stars or say 9.8 out of 10, if not, then Resident Evil 5 well you know, I dont even need to say. I mean here's a project that has drawn the likes of Peter Jackson of LOTR fame to make "HALO4" and a possible HALO movie. XBOX 360 rules as the medium on which super kewl stuff can be xperienced and this proves it. I hope this is nintendo's last "fun_ny" console, honestly metroid prime "4" would be super sweet in HD- my arms hurt.

Perfection!

I loved Halo 1 .. sure it lacked online matches. But, in Halo 2 they got it all right. I can't wait to see what are they pulling for Halo 3. The trailer's very good, the graphics looks awesome and, gameplay is supposed to be similar for the old halos, yet a bit better. Just waiting for the beta to make sure :) .

=D

Like many others, I'm waiting for the game, but will settle for the beta until June 6th... The game is still under 'development' and they said graphics aren't GoW Level but they're pretty damn good. (too badd)
Gameplay videos are absolutely astounding...
And for the people that don't know already, it's a best seller on most sites already...considering it hasn't even been released yet! Isn't that amazing?!

Halo 3 - Circa 2007

GOOD:
- Four-player online (or offline) co-op Gameplay allows two; three, or four players play through the game from start to end. A co-op player can come into the game at any time and leave at any time (note only one of you will play as the Master Chief, while another will play as the Arbiter, and the other two players will be Elites that work with humans)
- Great looking graphics and animation, that look even better then Halo 2, F.E.A.R. and just as good as Bioshock, while these graphics might not look as good as Gears of War do to some people these graphics still are some of the best seen to date.
- Intense multiplayer action online through Xbox Live with matches as small as one on one and as big as 16 players (and offline with out using Xbox Live using either spilt screen, or system link). Halo 3 is set up similar to Halo 2 in the sense that you're given a rank when you play multiplayer (this rank can go up or down at any time) this rank is representative of your skill and your matched with others of your skill type, that way new unskilled players and hardcore veterans will not often play against one another, unless they make a special match themselves that ignores rank.

BAD:
- Confusing plot to new players of this franchise - Playing Pervious games and read the Halo Novels will fill you in on the details, if you are incline to learn them.
- No Clan Support (like in Halo 2) - This might get fixed in a future patch
- Game is considered short to some (Campaign Story Mode).

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- A Sci-Fi First Person Shooter with quick pacing and vehicle combat.
- Co-op and online versus/team games is the big draw here.
- NEW MODE: Forge is a mode that lets you edit all the maps in Halo 3, while you cannot rebuild the maps themselves you can in this mode, add and take away any and all of the objects from vehicles and guns to spawning points and flag zones. This is all done in real time and you can invite friends to this mode while your customizing the map(s), they can play a multiplayer game while your doing this (instead of just waiting for you) and if you want you can forgo editing the map and join the game at hand as either a player or the map editor (who looks like 343 Guilty Spark), while playing as the map editor you can still add and take away any and all objects from vehicles and guns to spawning points and flag zones any time you want.
- NEW MODE: Theater Mode is a video editor that lets you record and play back any and all matches from Campaign, Multiplayer, and Forge modes from the point of view of any player either in first person or third person (even in a orbit-cam where the camera circles around the player) all in real time (you can also pause this at any time as well as fast forward and rewind), even use your camera to fly around the match and see the match from any angle you want, Don't forget you must save your videos before you turn off the game or you will lose said videos. Also you can take a picture at any time and save it to your Xbox 360 then download your picture at Bungie.com.

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Halo 2 (Xbox)
- Halo (Xbox)
- Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
- Bioshock (360)
- Gears of War (360)

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- There are bonus items scattered through the Campaign Story Mode called Skulls getting these "Skulls" will make the game harder (by doing things like turning off radar for the rest of the Campaign Mode your playing it) but will also greatly increase your meta game score for the Campaign Mode.
- There are two different limited collectors editions of this game. One is called the limited edition, which comes in a metal tin and has a bonus disc (with behind the scene videos and such) and also comes with an art book. While the other limited edition (called Legendary edition) you will find an art book a mini poster two bonus DVDs (with behind the scene videos and such as well as a collection of all the cut scenes form Halo and Halo 2 and themes you can download to your 360) And the it comes with a plastic Master Chief Helmet to keep your DVDs in (Helmet as big a volley ball).
- At Bungie.com you can sign up and pay a small fee to upgrade your Halo 3 account (default is free) to hold more space on their serves for your videos/pictures/clips that you made.

Halo 3: The Friggin' Helmet Edition

Halo 3 is the game to buy right now. One would think that wouldn't be the case with that monstrous ad campaign that's made it's way not only to Burger King but to the sides of Pontiac cars but believe it or not, this game lives up to the hype and surpasses it in just about every way imaginable.

Whether you play the game in single player mode or online against or alongside other people, you're pretty much guaranteed to be entertained from start to finish. I particularly enjoyed the storyline to the single player game this time around as Halo 2 wasn't exactly the most fun I've had playing a single player campaign. Not only that but you can play with up to three others online in cooperative mode and it's a lot of fun if a little too easy, even on Legendary difficulty. Graphics, sound and control are all exactly what you'd expect from the franchise and they've added so many bells and whistles to all the modes and all the new modes that what you're left with is an astounding package that is pretty much guaranteed to give you plenty of entertainment for the next couple of years, no question.

Now.... here's the question: which edition do you get? I've got the Legendary edition with the helmet and while it is a cool piece of art, it is a little steep for what you get. You get an extra disc of content as well, so it's not like you're paying an extra $70 or so dollars to get just a helmet but it is a lot of money to blow on a game, no matter how you cut it. The extra disc has one feature worth mentioning: a film of all the cinematics from the first two games combined into one two hour plus "movie", if you will. It's pretty cool, not to mention it makes for a good refresher on the events from the earlier part of the story.

I guess it's just a question of how much of a fan you are and whether or not you have the cash to blow. I wouldn't consider this a must-have on the blood of all your children and your children's children but it is kind of cool in a strange kind of way. It's about the same size as a human head and it's detailed and instantly recognizable.

I don't regret purchasing it but at the same time, if you look at the special edition for the upcoming GTA IV, you do notice that you get a lot more stuff (and pretty cool stuff it is) for a lot less. If you've got the cash to blow on it and you don't mind, I'd say go for it but only if you're really sure you want a fancy-shmancy case for your games. And if you don't have space for it, don't even bother.

And no, you can't wear the thing. It's just for show.

Finishing the Fight

This edition is a waste of money, but yet it is worth every penny. Unfortunately you can't wear the helmet over your head. However, you can duct tape it to either one of your shoulders and you can feel like you're really fighting right along side the Master Chief. FIVE STARS!!!

The Game of the Year!

The halo 3 Legendary Edition is the best collection you ever have. It may cost more than any games out there, but it worth your money. It worth it, because this's the Last Halo Game, you won't find any thing like this. Beside if you buy it, you get master chief Helmet, art book, and the game itself. And there a serect in Legendary Edition like behide the Master Chief mask DVD(making of Halo3). If you just wanted to play the game, but dosen't care the extre, just rent it or Buy the $59.99 standard Edition (if you have the first two games).

Halo 3 have many features like 1080p, 4 co-op on online and story mode, adjust your maps, new armors and helmets of your choice and many others
you should find out yourself. Halo 3 Have the greatest story ever, all you know is finish this fight, but you have play the game and find out what happened to Master chief at the end(don't want to spoiled). The cut-sence are like top 10 Hollywood Best viual Effect Movies. The multiplayer is great, but do you remenber Halo 3 Beta? Will is nothing like Halo 3 beta at all. There other weapons to know about, and the new feature of map-making like buy objects and place it in the map, you custom your spatan and Sangheili Armor and helment. And many more.
If you are real fan to halo games, this is something you shouldn't Miss.
Three word(A must buy!).

P.S. Like I tell you there a serect in the Legendary Edition, Serect with Peter Jackon(humor).
