Is there a difference between release date delivery and 1 day delivery? I never saw release day as a choice and I preordered my LE back in July.
Awesome water is awesome.

Nearest fulfillment center is Arizona I believe. Wouldn't take to long.
My sons copy from Newegg has shipped but it is 3 day shipping. My Amazon copy hasn't changed at all and it is 1 day shipping.
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 disagree as I always thought the helmet looked crappy.

Good games earlier Dopey and Monkey.
Most fun I've had since H3 at the very least.

It's more like Reach's water, there's not as much volume to it but it but it still looks good.
Aww. One of the highlights.

Haha, not usually how it works, man. The first person has to sacrifice and be the driver. Then people will get on.
its not the dynamic "3d" water from halo 3, its more like the water from reach.
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
, 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.

Stinkles would have been in here talking about the water if it was better.

You'll probably be able to get a normal edition of the game without a problem.
Limited Editions have been sold out for a while, periodically popping up now and then.

of course not
Nah, as with any big game you should be able to walk into any Best Buy or Walmart or whatever and get a copy.
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. :|

The game comes with two weeks free gold in the box I believe.
Unlikely, but you better believe I will be checking my mail addictively.

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!
Thanks, yeah someone mentioned that earlier in the thread, Ill just do that I guess and if I dig the MP Ill stick with it.
