Can't wait to see this weeks Pulp Sport with Ben and Master Chief.

Unless you live in Europe. In which case no, you can't have it right now. Not for another 21 1/4 hours, in fact.

"The game may not be perfect but it certainly has its selling points"

What the hell? Are you trying to justify people buying Halo 3? Selling points or no, people would still buy it if was as good as Superman 64, much less "perfect".

With that said, Halo 3 definitely lives up to expectations and is an awesome close to the Halo trilogy. Not that I need to say that, it's been getting nothing but rave reviews.

See you all online.

I had to a chance to play through the campaign mode over the weekend and enjoyed it. It looks like the Forge mode could really make this game fun for a long time. Anyways, see the rest of you geeks online after midnight... my gamertag: Gutzman.

@TaeK: Part of the reason it looks tacky is because the helmet has the wrong proportions. The jaw part of the mask is too large and the faceplate is too narrow. The green they picked isn't that great either.

@FelixLighter: Yeah, didn't mean to sound like I was correcting you or anything, I was just curious. Crunching numbers amuses me sometimes. ;)

Haha, it is pretty ridiculous. It's like a counter-onslaught onslaught. Thank goodness for the ability to think for yourself, eh?

Irony!

Although, I have to admit, after seeing Crecente give it 87.5 I almost drove over to Best Buy to cancel my preorder, running over any unfortunate pedestrians between my house and their store in a psychotic rage of fanboy disappointment. Less than a 9.0?! Blasphemy! Madness! Indie cred!

Toasticus, it's nice to see a friendly face around these parts. The Halo hate in the comment sections of these Halo articles is growing and I don't think I have the strength to hold the haters off any longer. Stay away from the NYC Halo 3 Launch A Best Buy Transformed post, the carnage is unimaginable.

Toasticus — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:29:51 MDT

@FelixLighter: Spiderman 3 amassed $381.7 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
Source

Using an estimate that out of 25 copies sold, 18 are standard, 6 are limited edition, and 1 is legendary edition, you have an average spending price of $64.80. Judging from that, they would have to sell around 5,890,000 copies worldwide in order to gross as much.

Halo 3 is so last week man :) All the cool kids are waiting on Orange Box now!

I nabbed a copy last week and finished the campaign pretty quickly (all great except one level, and a bit short overall), but I can't wait until all my mates have got the game too so we can tackle co-op.

See you all on XBL - please be nice to each other for a change.

@FelixLighter: I realise you're being sarcastic, but just in case hatramroany is genuinely confused, Spiderman 3 US opening weekend was apparently about $150m. At $60, this means Halo needs to sell something over 2.5 million copies in the US, not 23 million. So it has a chance.

hatramroany — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:17:59 MDT

NO NO NO! Halo 3 will need to sell almost 23 million copies to beat SP3's opening weekend! Halo 3 costs more than 5 times as much as a ticket for SP3! I already did this a while ago, it aint gonna happen. Games just can't compete with movies when it comes to "attendance"

You're talking about the single player campaign right?

Solo or co-op?

What about multiplayer? Forge?

Are these all part of the *entire* game?

I waited in line for the Wii (on Black Friday, no less), after all. No point in doing it again for a game.

Tull — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:20:28 MDT

I don't think sales of 360's and accessories will factor in the total first day tally of total money brought it by Halo 3. When people have been talking of Halo 3 pulling in 155 to 200 millions dollars in the first 24-hours it means just the game and the game alone. Though all three versions of the game will be pooled as one.

Beating spiderman 3 isn't that outlandish. it will sell at least 1 million in the us alone. that is bare minimum 60 million. Of course the super hardcore midnight day one purchaser is more likely to go for the special edition so that could go as high as 70 million. Then there is the legendary edition whihc there are at least 130 thousand of. that 16 million right there. add to that people buying a new 360, any of the accessories...you get the idea.
