Things I noticed:
Prowler details
Equipment animation (Don't think there was one in the beta)
Nice graphics and lighting, looks great in multiplayer

It looks like they've increased the size of the Bubble Shield.

I was thinking that myself when I saw the Warthog in it.

Cool vids, thanks Tural.

At first glance I thought that the Prowler was the Chopper but then I watched the second video and it looks pretty nice, especially with the side seats and gun.

lol i remember watching a video saying that you can't shoot out of the bubble shield? is that true? by the way i love that they still are able to ride ontop of the banshee!!!!!

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 6:09 pm

Yes, that is true. Projectiles can not pass through the bubble shield, in or out.

Now only if projectiles bounced around inside the shield, it would make for an interesting carnival trick.

All the footage I've seen for Halo 3 makes me think I should have pre-ordered it. >_>

Why are you here? Go somewhere and preorder it. Now.

Really, go do it.

I assume the two EBGames stores in my city are already completely maxed out on pre-orders, I think my friend snagged a pre-order pretty early in line, I'll live at his house for a few days when it comes out.

Look on the bright side, you'll be playing it before me.

The sword looks more like Halo 1's, but without the intense glow.

I preorderd legendary and I don't even have a xbox 360! Now that is.. I'm not sure what the word is for that

I loved the scene with the guy ontop of the giant sandtrap building, that looked nice.

I think the word you may be looking for is either insanity or addiction.

Blast! I gotta stop coming here. Your adding fuel to the hype fire that is in my brain!

The graphics thing...Yeah, the only difference I've noticed from delta to gold is the lighting and the effects. The game was great before and is still now, but I don't see texture improvements and wasn't that people's gripes before?
Just curious as to whether bungie will still be murdered by thousands of people hounding them for better grafix

He pre-ordered from Best Buy online at $100 when that was the price for the Legendary Edition. They're honoring the price they sold it to him at, so he's basically getting it $30 cheaper. Shipping takes a day or two...and he decided against canceling the pre-order from Best Buy in favor of getting it on release date at a store like Gamestop because he didn't want to spend the extra $30.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 7:46 pm

And my Best Buy order was 98% gift cards.

tl;dr version:
I'm saving $30 and waiting two extra days to get it.

It'll be worth it in the end. Look on the bright side, I may be getting the game before you but you'll be playing it before me. Although I don't think doing something before me is much of a big thing... oh well.. Better late than never.

The expression is "Better late than never."

I still need to pre-order it. ;_;
