Halo 3: Tonight’s the night!

Just in case anyone hasn’t been paying attention, the wait is over and tonight you’ll be able to grab a copy of Halo 3 at midnight launch events across the globe. If you’re going to a midnight launch event, be sure to spread the word and represent Podtacular to as many of our fellow Halo fans as you can.

Foo Mo Jive and JVB will return soon with a new episode discussing their thoughts on Halo 3 and their experience so far, and we’ll be jumping back into our episode rotation, including episodes focused on strategies and tips for multiplayer, discussion of campaign tactics and encounters, and of course, custom games and saved films. Podtacular is coming back in a big way with Halo 3, so be sure to tune in for each episode to get the most out of the game.

Also, tomorrow you can expect to see a new face to Podtacular as well. Even though our discussion forums are currently in a lockdown (to prevent posting of spoilers), the site will have a few new features that we think you’ll like and get some use out of.

Otherwise, if you’re jumping in line tonight, have fun, stay safe and we’ll see you soon in a game of Halo 3!

With September 25th fast approaching, it’s almost a sure bet that copies of Halo 3 will be flying off the shelves at stores across the globe. If you’re expecting to grab a copy on launch day, it’s probably best to pre-order your copy now and ensure that you’ll get one.

We’ve set up links with Amazon.com and ShopTo.com for our members to order directly, while also helping support Podtacular. So, if you decide to pre-order (or plan on purchasing anything else from these retailers), we’d appreciate it if you used the following links:
