A Group of Friends Document Their Favorite Night of 2007

A group of friends captured an incredible time capsule from the midnight release of Halo 3 back in 2007, showing just how exciting a major video game launch used to be. They stocked up on snacks, got everything ready for a long night of gaming, and headed to the store, where crowds of excited fans were already waiting and even camping out for their copies. For anyone who remembers that era, the footage is a nostalgic trip back to a time when midnight game releases felt like huge community events.
