did anyone who pre ordered from amazon have it shipped yet?

its monday night and my order still says "not yet shipped" ...

I just got an email about mine shipping. This is usually around when their release date stuff will switch over to "Shipped". Personally I've never had them not get me my game on time.

Wanting to do the midnight thing tonight, but not sure if I want to stand around waiting in line. Would probably be glad I did once I got my copy, though.

except
We were expanding to escape the Flood and the Flood chose not to infect us after awhile and there was no cure

According to one of the terminals, humanity is chasing the flood towards forerunner space, purging all infected planets along the way. The forerunners themselves seem unaware of the existence of the parasite.

Edit: this post contains large spoilers related to the background story of the game.

I still don't like Chief's re-design. I was hoping once I played the game it'd grow on me, but nah he still doesn't look right. :(

Poor Chief seems to look worse with each game. Halo 1, mk5 is still the best design.
 
I love using the warthog to drive through puddles over and over, dynamic water is the best

Are you talking about Halo 4? is the water as in Halo 3?

Poor Chief seems to look worse with each game. Halo 1, mk5 is still the best design.

I disagree as I always thought the helmet looked crappy.

Halo 4 isn't bad at all, it's actually pretty good, however it's also without a doubt the worst Halo game ever.

I've only played around 5 hours of the MP so far and it's a ton of fun. It's got some fantastic new ideas while retaining the classic feel of Halo. I can see myself putting a lot of time into it over the coming months. Just awesome.

The campaign on the other hand is Halo 2 all over again, all day long, but worse. Linear, short, boring, and dragged down by an awful, weightless story. The great dramatic stuff from promotional like material like FUD doesn't translate to the actual game at all. The level design is a series of long, narrow staight lines, that expand every now and again into slightly more open areas. The music, while not bad unto itself, is used extremely poorly throughout the campaign. It's dull, monotonous and curiously absent whenever it's needed most. It doesn't sound like Halo at all and most of the time I wanted to turn it off. Microsoft, whatever you need to do, however much money or sweet talking it takes, you need to get Marty O'Donnell working on Halo 5. The new weapon sounds mostly suck IMO (though a couple of them are meaty and awesome). The graphics have some nasty pop in in certain areas, and Master Chief's FOV is awful (MP looks much better without the Metroid Prime visor). Also I'm pretty sure the main villain is
Denis Dyack
, or at least that was what kept going through my head every time somebody said his name.

Spartan Ops is no replacement for Firefight mode.

How do you get one month of Live for free?
Well it was advertised on the xbox OS home page, but now it just says 40% off Gold dammit. I guess I missed the boat on that one, it says you can get 1 month for $5.99 with the subscripstion. :|

1 hour at work, go to a game and then I'll start camping at gs with friends around 10 pm. Took 2 days off just for halo.

My three word review for the campaign is "Call of Halo" or "Halo of Duty." Either or.

And as for someone sucking it up and driving? NAW. I'M NOT JUST GONNA SIT THERE DEFENSELESS!
