Halo 2 Launch Party in Times Square

Thanks to TeamXbox for the news that the Times Square Toys R' Us is going to be hosting a Halo 2 Launch Party. The event is set to start at midnight on Tuesday, November 9th. The enormous store will be hosting special guests "and prizes will be awarded for gamers showing off their Halo 2 enthusiasm." To those of you about to dress up as Master Chief, I salute you.

Show off your enthusiasm?

WTF is that? Buying it?

Re:Show off your enthusiasm?

[jmole]

No, it is getting the Halo 2 release date tattooed on your arm to be just as cool as the Halo 2 programmers are.

Re:Show off your enthusiasm?

[hollismb]

That was Pete Parsons, I believe. The studio manager at Bungie.

PICTURES PLEASE!

[Sevn]

I just got done busting my gut laughing at "tron guy". PLEASE hook me up with a bunch of pictures of halo people.

And you thought the article was kidding....

Man, those costumes are actually damn impressive. The funniest thing is the guy on the right in this pic. [bungie.org] He looks completely fitshaced. Thanks for the links!

Re:PICTURES PLEASE!

[Allison Geode]

i disagree: screw you guys who are going as master chief. thats simple. try going as Cortana, complete with "holographic transparency." now [i]that[/i] takes real dedication!

FYI...

[hollismb]

They make is almost sound like other stores won't be doing the same thing, which is not true. If you've ordered a copy of Halo 2 from EB, you can check this link [ebgames.com] to see if your store will be doing a midnight opening too, which it most likely is. Other stores like Gamestop will be doing the same thing.

Hey...

[xgamer04]

You ever wonder why we're here? ....

To get Halo 2, dumbass!

Camping opportunities

The truly 1337 would probably turn up in a warthog.

Someone moderate my post down, please, as it stunk mightily and I need to be taught a lesson! Badly thought through... there should be a preview button for my brain.

funny, kinda looks like a puma to me...

*shrug*

Re:Camping opportunities

[bkwebb]

I think it looks like a chuppa thingy.

Sooo....

[MMaestro]

To those of you about to dress up as Master Chief, I salute you.

What, will you be dressed up as one of the marines?

For those that can't wait...

[CDLewis]

Sure, the launch party is just a month away, but the leak party is being held right now on usenet and bittorrent.

Re:For those that can't wait...

[The-Bus]

Frankly, I don't think I will be playing Halo 2 in French anytime soon. I mean, the real Halo 2 is only a couple of weeks away... Are we so childish that we can't wait 26 days to play a video game? When we've already waited a couple of years?

That, and I don't have a modded Xbox.
