Still waiting for Walmart to send my copy.
I pre-ordered MW2 from Walmart and it took 3 weeks to get to me! They were using some new mixed-shipping method (UPS/USPS) and it was very, very, very slow. It sat for 3 days in the adjacent city before it was sent out for delivery.

Then again NewEgg sent me an email on Friday stating Reach was shipping, then I got a "pick up" notice on Sunday and today it got a "facility scan" so we are not even at the "departure" stage. Now they are saying it may get here Thursday the 16th.

My copy is waiting at Best Buy, ready to be picked up and the gift card was sent out last week and should be here any day.

I should go play a game or 3 of Halo 3 to get back into the console feel...

That doesn't sound good at all, I'm gonna give them call later and if they give me some BS, I'm gonna complain, get a refund, and then buy it from somewhere else.

Amazon FTW. Release Day Delivery has never failed to be in my mailbox when I get home from work on release day.

I usually buy from Amazon.com but I had a 40 dollar Walmart gift card so Reach cost me $20, plus they gave me another $20.

My copy has shipped from amazon. As it turns out i am off tomorrow for a dentist appt, so as soon as UPS decides to deliver it I'll be able to play. Hope to see some of you guys on as I suck horribly at halo games.

I'll be terrible as well so no worries.

UPS can be really random with their deliveries. Usually it gets to my place around 2:30, but I've had deliveries as early as 9 AM and as late as 8:30 PM.

I haven't received a shipping confirmation email yet, but I can't edit my order anymore. One of my professors is out of town, so I get tomorrow afternoon off. I'll be waiting impatiently for Reach. Until then, I'm doing the rest of my homework for the week today.

Sweet, you mean I'm not the only one here that sucks at Halo online? I look forward to playing with you guys in that case.

If any of you are pretty good, let me know and add my GT. I will be playing with friends and, hopefully, climbing through the ranks destroying all who oppose us!

Forgot my GT: the wrong panda

Man, I think this will (hopefully) be the first time I've been able to game with you since the very first days of MW2 Joph!

If you guys want to get together for a newb night of Halo I'm up for it. I was never any good at it.

I've never had a problem with amazon release day delivery, but mine still hasn't shipped. Not too concerned, there's a distribution center close by and I do live in the UPS hub.

Newb night sounds pretty fun. Well, until a non-noob joins in the fun.
