Halo 4 - November 6th

[Anubis]

Halo 3, ODST, Reach, Halo 4 - four Halo FPS in six years.

You must be having withdrawals pew pewing little green and purple aliens as a personality-less space marine.

yes and all 4 are worth playing
not seeing an issue here

Well, for $40 or whatever it was after the credit, it will be worth it IMO.

Where is the best place to pre order it today? I procrastinated and now need to get it ordered asap.

 

[purbeast0]

you don't need to preorder it at all. you will be able to walk into any store next tuesday and snag it.

Right, but preordering usually saves some money or gets you a free stick of beef jerky or something like that. Just wondering where the best deal was.

BB has it if you are member of their gamers club for $20.00 GC back

If you order it straight from MS you can get $25 Microsoft credit. Also, if you have an Amex card be sure to see the Amex thread in Hot Deals.

what do you think my chances are of walking into a B&M and walking out with the limited edition copy?

IGN - basically calls the game over-hyped mediocrity and Halo franchise should be put to bed:

Uh? Did you even read that review? They gave it a 9.8 out of 10 and said

Halo is in new hands, but guess what? 343's effort out-Bungies Bungie. Halo 4 is a triumph

So basically, I dont know what the fuck review you read?

I just finished replaying Reach, Halo: CE Anniversary, Halo 2, and Halo 3 in anticipation. I'm pretty stoked for this week.

I picked up ODST when I picked up AC3 an played a couple of hours of it. Now I wonder why it took me so long to buy it. I had always dismissed it, but the ambience and gameplay is pretty good. Well worth $20.

Methinks he was kidding there, bud.

Oh. Shit, maybe. Haha. I guess I overreacted? I totally missed that whole joking thing.

Sarcasm is (apparently) difficult to detect on the internet.

Anyways, I pre-ordered this at Newegg when it was $45 w/free shipping a few weeks ago but then almost cancelled it as none of my friends are getting it and it drops 1 week before Black Ops 2 comes out, but in the end I figured why not. Should be fun.

The limited edition was very limited to begin with. It's not like some limited editions where the stores can do as many pre-orders as they want. They basically had a limit and once that was reached it was shut off. Sometimes amazon has them on day one though or maybe a gamestop near you will have a couple people change their mind. I know at my local store there's always one guy who reserves a limited edition and later decides that $150 or whatever it costs is too much money to spend and has to settle for just the game.

I'm installing it to XBox hard drive now, getting ready to play the single player for a good number of hours tonight. I'll probably stay up til 6am when polls open and then go vote.

Hope I don't finish it TOO quickly. I don't really plan to mess with multiplayer much.

 

[alfa147x]

Looks like their servers are down. No multiplayer for me :\ headed to bed.

 

[TallBill]

Ordered on Amazon... wonder when I get it

 

[Geosurface]

Seems cool so far though I have some minor gripes (spoilers kinda but not really)







No classic halo theme on opening menu
No flashlight or night vision as far as I can tell so far
Warthog excessively loud
Changes to covenant designs
No booklet
Cortana's teeth

Bought my copy first thing this morning.

Got to wait until work finishes to play it!

I started watching the Forward Unto Dawn episodes over on the Halo Waypoint site - they're surprisingly good, and the end of episode three was very tense!

Sometimes my sarcasm isn't so obvious :sneaky:

You sure? I think you're coming down with a migraine and may have to work from home for the rest of the day.
