Halo 3 goes gold

360 News | Less than four weeks to go.

Bungie Studios and Microsoft have announced this morning that Halo 3 has been completed and has commenced manufacturing. In a press release issued this morning, Microsoft had a bit of a brag about the game becoming the fastest preordered game in history, and how it is expected to set new entertainment revenue records when it is released across the world on September 25.

"This is a huge milestone for us and a big cause for celebration at Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios," said Harold Ryan, Studio Head at Bungie Studios. "This is the game we’ve always wanted to make and certainly the best game our studio has developed. We can’t wait for gamers to get their hands on it on Sept. 25."

Halo 3 will be available in three different editions - the standard game for $99.95, the Collector's Edition for $119.95, and the Legendary Edition for $199.95. PALGN will have a full review of Halo 3 around the time of release.

I have never been into the Halo games...

But I have this fully paid off at EB.

I hope it gets me interested in Halo. Because i really do not care about the release at the moment because there are so many better games coming out(In my opinion anyway..).

I felt like I had been cheated on after that pathetic singleplayer experience of Halo 2 was ended with a boring and absolutely tensionless 'cliffhanger'.

It wasn't a cliffhanger though, it literally stopped midway through the story.

Hence the quotation marks, it was the worst cliffhanger ever. The only reason I wanted to know how it ended was because just that - it was the furthest thing from an ending ever. I was sure that I was only half-way through the game!

Regardless, I was getting worried about Halo 3 a little when all the videos so far had very little inkling about the storyline, but after the E3 07 trailer showcasing the singleplayer, I feel a lot more confident about it now.

The devs themselves have said that the campaign in Halo 3 blows their previous Halo 2 effort out of the water. Can't wait.

The Devs said that???? Wow!!

They've already got over a million preorders, I don't think they're desperately trying to muster up sales.

When it comes to devs speaking one of my faves is actually the Bungie guys (and John Carmack from ID) because they seem to have a real good sense about what gamers want and imo they seem like the types of guys I could actually sit around and play games with....so I do actually have a bit of faith in them when they say stuff like 'Halo 3's single player campaign will be better than part 2's". Not to say it's true but I believe them.
