Probably in the form of ridicule. Okay, we'd have scoffed. We'd also have been wrong, because Halo 3's been eclipsed in the online stakes by Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4.

It's a Bank Holiday in the UK on Monday, so we won't be updating the news again until Tuesday. However, there will be some features going up to help fill the hours, including a couple of reviews - one of which has an alarmingly large number on the end. What could it be?
