You know I was getting ready to post that it's a bummer that after Halo 3, ODST and Reach all had September launches that it sucks to have to wait 'til November to play 4.

Then I realized that gives me almost 2 solid months with Borderlands 2 and all is well with the world.

if Borderlands 2 is anything like the original, I'll will likely need 2 solid years to enjoy it. hee hee.

Anyone up for some Reach or Halo 3 games leading up to this? I'm looking to get a good multiplayer group ready for Halo 4. Is there still a CAG Grifball team?

I work on reach a lot doing daily challenges and what have you. Firfight is by and large my favorite mode of any game.

I just got my 360 Ive been playing halo3

Just a warning to any of the people that like the story, the latest trailer has been picked apart and details about what may be the ending were visible. Again, this may not be the actual ending, but I'm not taking any chances on having it spoiled, so tread teh interwebs lightly in regards to Halo 4.

Do you have a link to this? Or an idea where this is?

Not that I'd want the story ruined, I just have no idea what's going on from what I've been piecing together.

After playing through Anniversary and going to Halo wiki pages, all I can gather is:
-The Librarian seems to have created the monitors.
-343/Spark mentions that she imparted some of her intelligence into them, or something along that idea.
-343 explains that the other monitors have stopped communicating with him, and are either Rampant or have ceased to function (possibly being destroyed).
-343 also mentions something about a Didact.
-Evidently Didact is prone to anger, which would make him a great antagonist to any who opposed him.
-Didact would be a greater threat than the Flood.
-343 mentions that the Flood could be in greater number beyond the galaxy. And that they could be a much larger threat (Flood in the Reclaimer trilogy...no, please...no).
-There were 12 Halo rings.

According to wiki sites:
-Didact was the lover to the Librarian.
-Librarian sacrificed herself and ordered the Halos to be fired to kill off living species and starve the Flood. Somehow the flood samples survived on the Installations.
-Didact may be the main enemy in Halo 4/the new trilogy.
-The conversations between the Librarian and Didact are the terminals in Halo 3; she was stranded on Earth, and Didact would not fire the Halos unless she was safe. She ordered otherwise.
-343/Spark makes direct reference to the Chief as being a reclaimer, and is even referred to as this in one of the Terminals in Halo 3 when he is caught reading the Terminals.

I'm with you on Firefight being my favorite. My husband, our best friends, and I play a boatload of SWAT, too.

Halo question: does anyone else have a problem with two xboxes on the same router connecting with the Halo servers? We have the bandwidth for it, but it only works 25% of the time, and my hubs and I don't share so well. It might just be during peak server hours. I'd just like to know if there's a fix.

Cannot wait for this game. I pre-ordered at Best Buy and got the Lithograph. I'll be looking for people to play with once the game launches because 99% of my friends will be playing Black Ops 2.

Anyone know of any deals for the stand alone controller?

Also what avatar item comes with the controller, is it worth selling?

This probably isn't helpful but since no one else responded, I don't do it all that often (maybe once every few months) but I never have any problems.

Amazon usually has the best prices on the limited controllers ( $10 or $15 off usually ) and I think the avatar item is just a shirt, nothing exciting.

Just to let you know the limited edition controllers that come with the console are different from the ones they are selling by themselves.

2 months, can't wait!!!

Yeah, personally i think the stand alone controllers look a lot better than the ones that come with the console.

I could use a new halo controller....

Just added a few of you that mentioned you've been playing recently. If anyone else is interested in getting together for some Reach or Halo 3 feel free to add me.
