I'd be up for this.

I haven't played any Halo3 multiplayer and barely touched the single player campaign. Sucks to be you if I end up on your team!

Sorry for being awkward, I'll try and be more willing in future.

What was wrong with Wogan's Bulge's Halo 3 thread? Or did you want to try out your new +3 thread necromancy spell?

Because that's his thread about wanting to complete Halo 3 campaign on Legendary; this is about playing Halo multiplayer (or MP for short). I'm not like Pundabaya who hijacks threads and then gets pissy about it when you tell him to sling his hook.

I'll play!

I don't even think it should be a one night thing - it should be a regular game. I feel pretty silly and guilty that I've barely played it in the two years it has been out, because it's fucking awesome. Everything has been perfected down to a tee and the number of game modes means you'll never get bored. We should definitely get our money's worth before ODST and MW2 steal our attention.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Aug 26, 2009 15:15

You mean you should. We played this every week for about six months after it came out.

I know! I'd only just got my xbox and I was like a kid in a candy shop at the time, trying to catch up on all of the games, then Christmas 2007 happened and even more stuff arrived.

myp · **Posted:** Wed Aug 26, 2009 15:18

I got mine about a month before it came out.

But you're a shallow bastard.

Plus, you probably didn't buy yours with 15 games and buy all of the Christmas 2007 releases, often more than three games at a time. I'm still yet to play most of the fuckers.

Anyone know of a good price for this then?

What's the difference? ODST has the exact same multiplayer anyway.

This is true, but ODST has a new campaign which = co-op, plus it has the new multiplayer mode that is similar to Horde in Gears 2, which is also sure to steal a lot of my time.

Yeah! I've not played for ages either(I might have actually played some L4D when I was drunk at the weekend for like, 5 minutes) and I'm getting this for some bezzie fun.

Halo3 was the reason I got a 360.

I went round to see Gill one day & we ended up playing Halo for hours. Less than a week later I'd bought my own 360

The friends list & matchmaking systems fascinated me & still do to an extent, especially when I compare it to pre-Steam PC gaming.

My copy of Halo 3 arrived today, is anyone still planning to play tonight? If so, i will be on in about an hour, I'm just going to have a shower and do my hair.

You webcamming, like?

I'm up for a game. Rocket Race, anyone? :hat:

sdg · **Posted:** Wed Sep 02, 2009 19:23

No I just can't get out of the shower and not do my hair because then my hair gets ideas and thinks it is allowed to do whatever it wants and before I know it I have curls. It's a girl thing. :kiss:

Can I have the Guinea Pig? I really want one. Also, my Hamster is on her last legs I think. She's being really quiet and breathing quite heavily. She's over two now, though.

I'm always up for games of Halo in any shape of multiplayer. Having rediscovered it recently, I'll nearly always respond to an invite. Are you guys playing with all the DLC? I've been meaning to buy the most recent maps and will do so if anyone is playing them regularly.

I've only got the Heroic pack, or whatever the first lot of DLC was called.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

I've got all of the DLC. Right now though, I wouldn't waste your cash. You get it all with ODST (and three new maps), and that comes out in a couple of weeks. That is of course, if you're planning on getting ODST.

WTB · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 14497

There's a cool video on the marketplace right now about ODST's Firefight mode. Get it on the DL!

Halo 3 'easter egg' found after seven years

Obscure hidden feature in the classic sci-fi shooter is discovered at last by YouTube gamer

Game designers love to hide things in their virtual worlds. An in-joke, a weird object, a strange play mode – whatever it is, they're usually all discovered within weeks of release. But YouTube gamer Lord Zedd has just found a secret feature in Halo 3 seven years after the launch of the classic sci-fi shooter.

It turns out that if you load the game up on Christmas day (or change your Xbox 360 clock to make your machine think it's Christmas day), then press both Xbox thumbsticks down, the loading screen shows a new view of the eponymous Halo space ring, complete with a scrolling message reading, "Happy Birthday Lauren". The text, it seems, was included by one member of the development team, Adrian Perez, who directed it to his wife and never expected it to be found.

Bungie, the studio behind the Halo titles, had hinted to fans on at least two occasions that a final hidden treat – or "easter egg" in gaming parlance – remained stashed away in the game after many others were found. Now finally, the seasonal treat is available to all – and 170,000 have already watched the video.

Implanting hidden features, items and messages in games has been around since the very beginning of the industry. Warren Robinett, designer of 1979 title Adventure claims the term was coined by an executive at Atari where the practice was actively encouraged. Memorable examples have included Indiana Jones's remains showing up in Fallout: New Vegas and the bit in Metal Gear Solid 3 where a character dies of old age if you leave the game running for a week.

Although impressively well hidden, the Halo 3 example falls far short of gaming's most elusive easter egg. That honor surely goes to programmer Landon Dyer who hid his own initials so deeply within his home computer conversion of arcade hit Donkey Kong that it took another programmer 26 years to find them.

And for the article Atari went nuts a Robinett and others when they found out they were putting those in !

The term 'Easter Egg' isn't gaming parlance.
