Halo 3: Finishing The Fight
(Scroll to bottom for the update that occurred at 1am)
Here we go, there’s not much else to say other than tonight’s the night. We’ve all talked about, thought about it, dreamed about it, waited about it, for years, and tonight/tomorrow is what it was all for. With Halo 3’s release, the anticipation and pre-launch hype for Halo 3 will end, but the constant flow of fun and excitement due to Saved Films and the in-depth stats system Bungie has built into the game will guarantee that Halo 3 will not be getting old any time soon. There’s also the fact that Halo 3 will be getting downloadable content more regularly than Halo 2 ever did, and I would expect some by the end of the year most definitely.
In other Halo 3 news, it has been announced that starting tonight at midnight, there will be exclusive Halo 3 content on Xbox Live Marketplace for Xbox Live Gold members over the coming days. The content tonight will be a special Gamerpic and Theme according to Unscripted360.com. More details can be found over there, where Deacon is also doing some Live coverage of the Halo 3 launch down in Dallas.
Marketplace Update(s): There is now a new Theme based on the Halo: Uprising comic available.
Additional Updates:
- Also keep an eye on the UNSCleric.com Flickr page.
- Twisted Plastic has provided a slightly altered version of his Halo 3 banner to reflect launch night/day!
- Check back later tonight for footage from within GameStop as I get my copy.
- UNSCast #4, which went up earlier today, as been tweaked a bit to fix some audio timing errors. Click here to download.
- Halo 3 shipping 4.2 million copies this week!

HALO 3 HAS BEEN PURCHASED!
Since the files are going to take some time to upload, I won’t be able to embed the videos right now since I’m about to Fight The Fight, but here’s a link to my Flickr page, and here’s a link to my YouTube videos page. I have about ten pics and three videos from the launch, which went incredibly perfect. As I got there, I sat that I was going to be about 300th in line, and ended up being a group of three guys, who were absolutely hysterical. There was no talk of spoilers anywhere in the line that I heard of, and a little Red Bull car actually pulled up right next to where I was standing, and GameStop also had tons of Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Game Fuel for everybody. I got there at 11:17pm exactly, and at midnight, the line began to fly, everyone had been pre-ringed, and I was back in my car within 12 minutes at 12:12am.
The helmet is very impressive and my serial number on the helmet is somewhere in the 300,000’s (you can check out the pic of it on my Flickr page).
Alright, that’s it from me for now, I’ll be back once I Finish the Fight, which will probably be sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it without sleeping in-between or not at this point.
FINISH THE FIGHT!
