Super Mario Sunshine.

[sofasurfer]

are there any midnight launches going on in the UK?

My local Blockbuster is doing one tonight. Might be a nationwide thing.

[omus]

Is anyone going to set up a gamertag for this?

EDIT: I've created one - rllmukODST

Added, please accept.

[Bleeders]

My Zavvi order still not here. Am sad

Seemingly only the cheapest and most rubbish places sent it out early. Come and nestle in my bosom and we can wait together.

[ontwofronts]

Got my text to say my game/pad bundle is ready to be picked up at midnight. I'm well up for this now.

[Lucky Gonk]

Managed to get a foursome going in Firefight but we were experiencing significant amounts of lag. Dunno if it's a problem at our end or whether it's indicative of a wider issue. Is anyone else finding it choppy?

[Guest]

Fucking Amazon haven't even posted mine out yet according to my recent orders. Looks like I'm going to have to pick this up tonight if Tesco's are doing midnight sales.

Why would it suffer from lag? I'm presuming you 4 are quite local and it's not having to calculate another team's position on the map either.

I was hoping it'd be a pretty stable gametype.

Mine is supposedly on it's way from Game, but if it doesn't arrive tomorrow I'll be picking one up at lunchtime.

Indeed. I dunno if it's to do with the amount of data being thrown around, but it wasn't fun. I don't usually have a problem when we play matchmaking/customs/whatever. Maybe we were just unlucky in this instance.

*shrugs*

[Darragh]

Damn. My Asda order hasn't even shipped. I probably won't have this for the weekend, now.

[Vin]

Man, O'Donnell and Salvatori's score for this is superb.

[Bushtopher]

Well, my Lovefilm order was sent out on Thursday and still hasn't turned up. RUBBISH! Was looking forward to playing this tonight too

[Chaz]

What the fuck? My lovefilm order hasn't arrived yet, and it was posted on friday. Bloody postal strike

Or worse, the postman has nicked it. I received other items in the post today which rings alarm bells.

EDIT: At least i'm not the only one. Please come tomorrow! Thanks

I'm enjoying the comments on the edge review of this!

Your not the only one.

Makes you wonder.

o/\o

Crazy stuff.

I'm very smitten with ODST now.

[jonny_rat]

Love that guy's review of the review. In bold, no less! that makes it official

Have added the rllmuk firefight gamertag (JonnyRats); a quick go earlier on made it seem like awesome fun. Some little surprises there..

[Tomdominer]

I'm on the ODST friends list as well, anyone fancy a go on firefight?

[auntyclimax]

Shopto delivered mine this morning. Nearly finished it in one sitting though, but loving most of it I must say.

[Trokie]

Just requested to be added to rllmukODST - thanks. I am up for somefire fight right now if anybody fancies it ?

GT = Trok REAPER

[Mars]

Having some cracking firefight games with the rllmukODST gang

[hebejebe]

What's the recommended difficulty setting for this? Heroic?

[macosx]

I'm finding the first two hours of SP to be dull, nothing new to see just a more protracted story..

[Mr. Gerbik]

What's the recommended difficulty setting for this? Heroic?

I would say Heroic in single player and legendary in co-op if you're playing for the first time.

[auntyclimax]

Finished my first run through of this. There are some very repetitive bits, especially near the end. Typical Halo then.

It's very different in style and design to any of the Halo series. Takes a while to click but when it does, wow. It's great. The game plays out like a collection of Halo greatest hits (i.e. battles), interlinked together with a noir mystery story that draws you in and onto the next chapter.

I wasn't too keen on the health mechanic nor how underpowered I felt, but I've soon adapted to it. Especially now I've spent a few hours on the lurvely Firefight mode.

On that note, cheers to Tomdominor, Trok, wiener and jonny_rat for some top entertainment tonight. Had an awesome time. Especially the large map with the VEHICLES. We're finally given the one thing missing from Gears' Horde mode (those tanks are fuckers though).

Pity about the lack fo match-making and drop-in options. The former is a real mystery - Bungie perfected multiplayer match-making after all - and the latter, well you would have thought they'd have figured it out by now

rllmukODST to the rescue!

Whos got this for 30 notes i wonder? Shops, not online.

[Meh]

Isn't it a normal RRP game?
