Quick question for those that have Halo 3, does it have split screen co-op like the last two did?

My friend brought NHL 08 over the other day. The new shot system is amazing. It's on my "to buy" list.

Also, does anyone here have experience with Xbox Connect? I'm sorry, but I just refuse to pay to play others online.

its a joke the only game you should use xbox connect for is halo 1 so you can play online..seriously....it lags like crap you cant just join a game (cause it emulates a system link between your xbox's and noone really pays for it) but trust me man xbox live is worth 50 dollars a year..its seriously the smoothest online gameplay i've ever played...i hardly get lag and you can only join servers that have good connection with you so no pingers!

Xbox Live is really worth $50 a year, I've had it for 4 years, and I'll gladly keep paying for it...it's really amazing.

I understand your feelings on Xbox live. I played some Halo2, GoW, GRAW, and some others on XBL when my woman had her 30day trial of gold.

It was good, but I'm not paying $50/yr for it. Still not worth it to me.

Get a bunch of trials...that's what I used to do because I had about 4 XBL accounts back then, 1 that I payed for, and 3 living on free trials.

But back up a bit, back to Halo 3.

I have about 4 weeks until my Xbox 360 comes back from the repair shop. Should I get Halo 3 now (as in within the next week) and stare at it for 4 weeks, or should I get it when my Xbox 360 gets back so I don't die looking at the box?

Too late to buy it now its now best to wait unless you already preordered it. I had my special edition preordered but because they have so many preorders in my area they told me that they would only be able to give me the regular edition. So you know what Im gonna start scrounging come Thursday when most of the dust has settled down.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Maybe then there will be more Halo 3 special editions available for a limited time.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I really was hoping to get it tonight at midnight but it still means alot to actually get some sleep and get it when I can rather than bee tired if I got the game tonight at midnight. I wanna enjoy my Halo 3 the day i get it not wait till the next day.:ohwell::ohwell::ohwell::cry::cry:

Yeah, I'm just gonna wait until I get my 360 back...I'm sure there'll be much more copies on 4 weeks. And also, what sucks is that I have fall break next week, so no 360:cry: no Halo 3:cry:
