In the beta I sometimes would grab the sniper and head for the hills on Valhalla.  I could usually get a good many kills...  laugh.gif


oh wait ya'll was talking about for the game release... My friends and I aren't really camping.. we're going up there around 10 to hang out until they open at midnight... when halo 2 came out we had 4 SUVs with tvs in the back and xboxes system linked and had some decent matches on halo 1 waiting... but that was alot of trouble for us... prolly just hang out and wait...

you dont have to camp for it...   why dont you just spend the time you would camp at home playing some games.  and then take a drive out to a smaller town where not too many people buy games, go to the store that gets the least number of customers, and bam, you'll have your game.  camping out really makes no sense for videogames.  they are never sold out.  if it was the system then it would be fine since they are limited.  but there is no possible way to not make *enough* halo3 games.  its probably around 10 cents to make the game, and they can churn out thousands in a second i bet.  save yourselves the trouble and dont camp.   just my two cents.


For a game this hyped it's fun to "Camp" out.  I mean 10 until midnight isn't really that bad.  Not like I'm camping 5 days to get it... ha.   Games like this seem to bring everyone out and it's kinda fun to see the gamers in your local area.  During Halo 2 launch some fool had a sign he made with hit GT on it and was wearing it around his neck.  Wonder how many new friends he picked up?  blink.gif

I see no real reason to camp out unless you're tryna get a LE or Legendary copy and you didn't pre-order.

camping out seems like a waste of time.  I am sure they are going ot have tons of copies of halo 3 available.  I will probably just go pick up a copy on my lunch break.

the way my EB games did it for halo 2 is people that were the in the middle of the day would recieve a number and at mid night you could come back and get it at midnight in the order of your number.

Also at a gamecrazy that was close to me had a halo 1 tourny and I won that.  ( I got a free xbox hat)

You guys are all wasting your time if you camp out.  Remember what happened with Halo 2, oh you better camp out you better preorder...  But there were plenty to be found.  Only reason to preorder for the super nerd ultimate pack with the helmet...

I was planning on camping out. But it was because it would be awesome to chill with a whole bunch of halo fanboys (discussing forge plans, getting gamertags, etc.)

Unfortunately, I will be out of town on Sept. 25 cussing.gif grr.gif cussing.gif
