If anyone is interested, Newegg has the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 back in stock for $40 (free shipping):

I'm sure it won't stay that way for long.....
Edit: And it didn't, now it's listed as a "deactivated item".
Deactivated?

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
Last night I hooked up with inverse cosine for some L4D but before we jumped we got to talking about some past games we'd like to go thru again and Halo 3 came up. It seems like the game came and went fast due to COD4 came out.
I never really got to enjoy the coop part so I know it's a long shot but if anyone for the heck of it wouldn't mind running thru it in coop please post. I know with GTA, Street Fighter and still some current games but to get a break from the current stuff it may still be fun.

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
If ya'll want to start off say Sunday night around at 8 "EST" that's fine. I'm on Central so I can go for an hour or so. If not Sunday then we can start out Monday night.
Man I'm kinda pumped for this. I haven't been pumped for Halo period since the early days of Halo2, playing the "Fight Club" mod with DVD Talkers.

Ok..I'll be on about 7:30 "EST" tonight. I'll need to re-read the fracking manual again for the controls. I've been confused going back & forth with GOW2 and L4D.

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
Sorry about last night, guys. After we started freezing, I got booted off Live, then auto-signed back in, only to Red Ring. I'm back up and running though, but I hated being kicked in the middle of a level.

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
Anybody interested in starting from scratch tonight and through the week?
I'm good from 8:30 CST every night this week. I'd love a full run through Legendary with someone(s) that knows where all the skulls are.

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
Great game last night everyone (JustinRT, Marc Fusion, BuzzZaw66 and Kenshiro)
how much more did you play?
pinata, I may be able to play for one hour or something like that. Legendary is pretty doable with 4 people but without using skulls.

Do the skulls affect gameplay? I thought they were just for achievements 
If there's a good game going, send me an invite. I'll have the girls showered already (sorry, Raul
) and in bed by then so I'll be free to go.

Maybe in 7 years... 
With the skulls I mean if you set the game to use Iron or one of other skulls for the metagame. Yesterday we started with that, and finished the first chapter with like 5K points.
Without that, Legendary wasn't that hard with 4 guys.

Re: ONLY Halo 3 thread - part deux.
Man the lag and hesitation last night was terrible. I don't think I've seen it that bad except in some GOW2 but that's with (5) plus players, not (4).
And to get knocked out toward the end of the last level we played was nothing short painful. I'll be on again tonight so maybe we can continue or at least try depending on how bad the lag is. (7:30 Central)

Played some MP last night and wow! what a big difference with other games. In less than 10 seconds I was playing a match. Zero lag!, etc., etc.
