Posted May 16, 200717 yr http://www.gamespot.com/news/6170815.html?actiostn=convert&om_clk=latenews&tag=latestnews;title;0 Halo 3 landing September 25 For a while 2007 was looking a lot like 2004 as far as games go. After a light summer, the release schedule will grow very crowded come fall. The packed calendar is topped by Grand Theft Auto IV, due on October 15, and Metal Gear Solid 4, which has no firm ship date, and Halo 3. The third installment in Bungie's sci-fi shooter was given a 2007 release at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. Conventional wisdom has been that it would follow its two Xbox forbears and arrive in mid-November, three years after Halo 2 and six after the original Halo: Combat Evolved. Today, though, Bungie Studios revealed that Halo 3 will break with tradition and arrive nearly two months ahead of its anticipated mid-November launch. The Xbox 360-exclusive shooter will ship on September 25 in North America, and will ship in Europe the following day. The game has not yet been rated, but is available in 3 different retail packages: the $59.99 standard edition, the $69.99 limited edition, and the $129.99 "Legendary Edition" complete with a replica of the Master Chief's helmet. Halo's new ship date also calls into question the presumed release window for another of Microsoft Game Studios' top 360 titles of 2007. Most online retailers listed Mass Effect, the forthcoming Xbox-exclusive sci-fi game from celebrated Canadian developer BioWare, as coming in September. However, in light of the Halo 3 announcement, it seems unlikely that MGS would release two of its tentpole titles within three weeks of each other, as it would cannibalize sales. However, Microsoft spokespersons had not answered inquiries about Mass Effect as of press time. LET THE FANBOY BULLSHIT BEGIN

May 16, 200717 yr Good, Halo online players get raged so easy and everyone has a mic. Can't wait to ruin the fun. They added one-button muting to Halo3. Unlike Valve, Bungie listens to the pleas and cries of it's players, lol. Halo3 Beta goes online tomorrow, may 16th. I have crackdown, so it's open to me as well as everyone else that was accepted into it. I'll post any new halo3 rage tactics as soon as I get the chance to see what it has to offer. And as usual, there will most likely be a H3Beta chan on IRC to get some raging groups working together on this.
