Apparantly, Bungie was generous over the holidays and gave the US troops in Iraq a little taste of Halo 3. Baaastards.

I think they figured it would look good in the press and all those soldiers will be shot soon anyways, so they won't be able to leak any spoilers.

Maybe they were just using it as a bit of market research; what do REAL soldiers think of the game?

Real soldiers? As in killing machines with no bit of humanity in them?

I wonder.

You feel like saying that to my face?

That statement alone is one of the most offensive things I have ever heard. If this is what the A-S staff consists of then I can say I am quite ashamed of what insensitive people run this site.

FM- V-boi didn't mean to be insensitive or didn't mean what he said. Perhaps he only meant "Real soldiers" as in ......................... enemy AIs?

I question your intelligence, seeing as both of my cousins are in the Marines and they have plenty of "Humaninty" left in them. It's their job, theyhave to follow orders, or be court marshelled. You also have to understand that they are being SHOT AT and you would have to be totally retarded to just walk out and say "Hey, insurgents! Let's be friends!"

Call it dark humor.

i think V-boi was just questioning the definition of the "Real soldiers" phrase and not the people in the pic.

You guys want to play beta? HEre's how.

Quote:
First you could register at Halo3.com and then wait and see if you got in. Second, you can buy a copy of Crackdown, specially marked boxes will include a beta key. Microsoft announced a third way in this morning.

The third way in is called the "Rule of Three" -- 13,333 gamers will be able to enter the beta after meeting certain criteria. Here's what you'll have to do:

Beginning Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007, at 12:01 a.m. EST, all gamers need to do is participate in at least three hours of "Halo 2" multiplayer sessions, via Xbox Live, before Feb. 3, 2007, at 11:59 p.m. EST and then be among the first 13,333 to register at http://www.halo3.com. The "Rule of Three" program is currently planned for gamers in the 50 United States (includes District of Columbia) age 17 years and older who have access to an Xbox 360 Pro console or an Xbox 360 Core console with hard drive, a valid Xbox Live Gold subscription and the "Halo 2" game. Gamers around the world are encouraged to visit http://www.halo3.com in the coming weeks for more information on the "Rule of Three" program in their region.
