Just a reminder to all those 'kickin' it' on Xbox Live - who haven't checked their Inside Xbox updates - that the free Bungie theme and gamerpics will be available tomorrow (7th July), for one day only, I believe. So get 'em while they're hot.

Haha, I just came on to make this topic. :P Can't wait for it. Seen the ViDoc for Cold Storage yet? It's aweosme.

Nope, haven't seen the ViDoc yet - so what the heck's Cold Storage? An MP map?

Sub; huh, so that's reason no.17 of 'why I didn't buy the Legendary Edition'? :D I generally buy special/limited editions as they're more common now (Mass Effect and BioShock's were just fantastic - you got a decent Big Daddy figure with the latter), and was going to get the Legendary. But a few conversations with the Gamestation staff, and a quick look at the Master Chief helm convinced me to save my money.

Guy; well, as they're free it doesn't matter which colour you roll with (silver or gold).

:shock: Haven't you heard of Bungie.net? :P It's kinda the star attraction of bungie day. Yeah, a map, everyone thought it was gonna be a part of the Mythic map pack but it's not. It's free from tomorrow onwards, not just for tomorrow.

Lol, I dunno, but I already got it...
And Happy Bungie Day back! :P
I'm gonna go download the freebies soon.

Well, as my [temporary-before-I-go-back-to-Mass Effect] gamerpic says/shows; a very merry Bungie day to all.

Damn, there's a load of stuff I need off XLive; I didn't even know the Heroic pack was free, so I got that at last. But then again - I know I'm being heretical here - I prefer COD4 online to Halo (online).

Quiglesigles; well, the Heroic pack took its time, so don't hold your breath for the Legendary freebie anytime soon.

And y'know what...?

...I still haven't cleared Halo 3 on Legendary, so I haven't really finished the fight. Methinks this day is as good as any other to start on that task...

COD4 is fun online. a bit of a change from halo. but if anyone needs any help with the campaign or anything message me or something. My gamertag is Ze Magic Bum

Me neither. :P I really should some day... but what with Mass Effect, Oblivion and Halo online there's plenty more I could be doing.

Yep, Mass Effect has kept me away from every other game, including the seemingly untouchable GTA:Snore--- sorry, I meant, GTAIV. But before the clock ticks over to the 8th, I'll start up the first Halo level on Legendary - as I've now officially talked myself into believing that unless you've got that Legendary badge on your profile, you really haven't Finished the Fight... oh man, am I in for some hurt. :D

Well, I've at least done the first 3 levels. :P Not that it means anything... I just can't beat certain levels. The Flood and Cortana. :x

Whisperer; for Legendary, co-op is your friend. Well, unless your actual friend actually sucks at Halo.. then you're in trouble.

But after COD4's Mile High Club on Veteran, I reckon I could pretty much beat any difficulty level on any FPS. That's right; I'm chock full of hubris, and I do not expect a comeuppance anytime soon... no siree... :roll:

The only way I can do legendary is on co-op. I just barely beat it on heroic by my self. My friend comes over sometimes and he's ok but it's way easier than doing it by myself

Technically, I beat legendary by lone self. But i cheated a bit, I set up another controller, and had him sit back while i went up and owned some covenant.

Lol :P I've done that before, and when I play with my brother it's basically the same thing... <_< Except he tends to die a lot.

Tourist, how could you? :cry: You should've had legendary beaten ages ago (on your own no less :wink: ). It's not as hard as the first two Halo legendary campaigns, but in my opinion it IS a bit more difficult than CoD4's veteran mode.

Co-op... lol, unfortunately none of my friends 'round these parts are qualified for that kind of difficulty, at least not without extreme amounts of clearing the path for them. :lol:

I couldn't stand co-op Halo 2 on legendary. that stupid "revert to last checkpoint when someone dies" thing got annoying.

I am an absolute god at Campaign! I beat the entire thing on legendary in one day on solo and my brother and I beat it on legendary in 4 hours. Don't beat it on co-op just for the achievement though. While solo is very frustrating, it has such a satisfying end.

Oh, and does anyone else have the katana here? I do yay!!!!!! (cheated but ehh)

:lol: Im about 12 achievements from the katana. :P I need to finish all the meta-game achievements... and a few more online things and, of course, Campaign on Legendary.

Quigle... :lol: It sounds like I'm about as good as you at the campaign (though as I said, I don't have any friends in my immediate vicinity that are decent enough to keep up on co-op :( ), and I WOULD have the katana... but I don't have xbox live. I've got every non-live achievement and I'm good enough against my peeps on system-link that I think I could do well enough on live to get the katana.... I want it so bad. :cry:
