Halo 3 Has Gone Gold

Posted by Zonk on from the done-when-its-done-and-its-done dept.

The official Bungie site has the word that Halo 3 is done. In games industry terms, they've 'gone gold'. "That means we delivered a final version to our internal certification group that passed all the tests and is now being whisked away to top secret manufacturing locations to be turned into retail versions of the game - and eventually packaged and sent to stores in various cases, tins and cat-helmets. We can't wait to share it with you guys on September 25th and 26th, but we have to say thanks."

    Umm, didn't that happen yesterday? Actually, Halo 3 went gold in 1990. NIN is up to Halo 25.

    This means they've made double-double sure to delete the hidden minigame where a lady soldier invites the player to come over to her base for some nice hot bubble-shields.

    Hi. I'm a long-time FPS PC gamer who thinks Halo was beyond merely 'entertaining'. Nice to meet you. Would you like some pie?

    Hello, chap! I'm also a long-time FPS PC gamer who thinks Halo was beyone merely 'entertaining' (actually, I rate its single-player as the second-best FPS ever).

    Might I share in the pie?

    Sure! Shall we silently laugh at those who put Halo down merely because it had the audacity to be a console game? Or should we pity them instead?

    Hmm. Silently laughing is indeed satisfying, but pity is much more snobbish and elitist. I can't pick, you decide!

    What kind of pie?

    Hopefully one that isn't made of mostly cloned corridors and identical enemies squads.
