I saw Lucent sent me a message saying Bungie confirmed online co-op for Halo 3. Here is the article affirming it. So finally, a campaign I love gets co-op through XBL... Halo in my mind had a great campaign(MP is only alright, I prefer third person view instead), and the only thing lacking to make it better was online co-op.

Who else is getting it then? :D

Man up, *****! HAHAHAH! The MC and his trio of Covenant Elite bastards are come'n for your ***! AHAHAHAH!






yeah...I'm getting it. :rolleyes:

Cool. Actually I think that seems like a really cool idea for co-op. And they all look pretty sweet too. I can't wait until then.

So how'd the clan match go specifically? Like who'd you guys play, what maps, team elim? Post grab? yada yada...

Yeah the guy on the very right (or MC's left) looks cool.

Anyway, I think it was like this.

PG on Darktown=ANBU

PG on Dilapidation=ANBU

PG on Battleground=ANBU

Note: We had to try to get into Dilapidation three times. First time because several people lost connection and the 2nd because GunWing's mic is kind of messed up so we didn't hear him when he said he was going away for a sec. So he was on the opposing team and we had to try for a third time. Luckily, 3rd time was a charm.

And Marathon Durandel or whatever is hilarious in MP. Map kind of sucked because it was over lava and we were almost playing hide and go seek with the opposing team. I got an achievement worth 0G for becoming a member of the 7th Column or whatever. Again, another Halo symbol was accompanied with it. I guess they actually all come from Marathon because I never really saw these symbols in the Halo campaigns. :confused:

Well, I've got some work around the house to do and stuff. I'll probably hop on and play a little bit and get back to playing Saints Row or something. I'll play some Marathon later whenever you get on, though, Snow. :cool:

EDIT: Oh yeah, we playing some team called MGD. I think it stood for Machinegun Dummies or something. :/

The achievement is because you belong to Bungie.net and have your gamertag linked to it. If you didn't you can still get that achievement by killing someone one who is a member of bungie.net.

And yes, most of the symbols, names, and plot lines are in Halo, but all of them were born first into Marathon. Both games are not in the same universe, but there is no doubt that they are linked. Marathon though takes place almost 400 years after the events of Halo. In my opinion, both Marathon and Halo have had the best stories when it comes to unique sci-fi games. The AI Durandal in Marathon is one of the best characters ever conceived. Seriously. Ever. :cool:

If you say so. I thought they looked kind of goofy to me. They seem to strut towards you and I just punch them in the face. Though I think I was playing mid difficulty.

NO NO NO!!! Haha not the game's AI, the character called Durandal. He is an AI that helps you in the game by speaking to you through computer terminals.

Very similar to what Cortana does for Master Chief.

Oh. I thought the AI was what the aliens were. I dunno, I didn't really read anything. I jumped in, shot some things, watched my men die like idiots, and get lost for a sec. Then I bought the game. I'll get more into it later. :cool:

did anyone get mario strikers charged, yet?  i got it yesterday.  i played through the training and through the first cup.  it's pretty fun...  then i played a match online.  it's really exciting and fun.  i scored a goal in sudden death in the second game to win the match.  i jumped up and yelled.  it was awesome.  i really like the leaderboards.  i'm glad nintendo decided to do that.  it adds more incentive to play if you ask me (besides having fun).
