I really hope he was rushing through the game. The impressions sound amazing, but if the campaign was only 9 hours that makes me sad
. I want a 12-15 hour campaign... I want as much Halo SP as I can get.

I remember Halo 3 campaign being relatively long but, I played it over the weekend solo/heroic in what felt like 6-7 hours. 9 hours seems about in line for a Halo campaign first run.
Halo series has sold 46M copies. It was at 40M in June 2011, so Anniversary must have sold quite well and Reach probably continued to bring steady revenues as well.

Yep, this is a definite bargain bin purchase for someone only interested in the single player campaign.
Halo players clock up over 570397 years (5 billion hours) of game time.

This is possibly the first Halo game since CE where I am more excited for the campaign and co-op modes than the multiplayer side. With all the additions and changes made to multiplayer I just can't get excited for jetpack, hardlight shield, not picking up grenades, CTF mess, etc. However the more I hear about campaign and Sparty Ops the more I am excited for that content.

Can't wait for this. Booked Tuesday and Wednesday off too (Tuesday is the g/f's birthday - so I'll get most of my play time on Wednesday).

Nice OP Ghal.

Anniversary didn't do well, MS reported 1.5m back a few months ago, Reach at 7m. I'm guessing the 40m figure was rounded down.
Edit - 39.5m here
I haven't played on either of my consoles in years. Ive always been more of a PC focused gamer and i went PC only after the FFXIII debacle. Since then i've often followed console exclusives like Uncharted/Forza etc closely but i never made the jump to purchase them. I never needed to play them.
But i just pre-ordered Halo 4, despite being a campaign only guy. Despite having to be careful with my money these days. Despite not thinking too highly of most Halo campaigns besides the CE one. And being dissappoint in Bungie not using their expanded universe as much as they should have done.
And it's all because that little game in 2001 blew my brain away. First time setting foot on Halo, first time looking at the skybox, first time hearing the main theme in the menu. All of those are some of my most fondest gaming memories.
Fucking Halo

Guess they are feeling confident on scores. The more time people have to read reviews before launch then more sales. Especially giving people the whole of the weekend to read reviews.

Hype overload. After this OT, and that Monumental post, my hype levels have somehow increased.
Amazing OT.
Amazing OT.
Did you also think Last Resort and Standoff were crampy in Halo 3 BTB? I thought Valhalla itself was just large enough, although the pathways were quite limited for such a large number of people. Now I'm adding in sprint (some with non stop sprint) and an arsenal of rifles that can shoot base to mid with general ease this time, there's less open ends when factoring in so many players. I'm not disregarding your opinion on it, but we just see these things differently. The map was not very large in H3 for 8v8, so I'm having a hard time seeing it fit here. Exile and Longbow will be more interesting, because they have more paths for flag carriers, flanks, and vehicle routes.

Anyone else grab the Halo 4 controller (this one: http://amzn.com/B008RA5H8K)?
My thumbsticks are all cracked and breaking on my current controller so I figured I'd order a new one. Was wondering if anyone else was looking to pick it up.

So I'm pretty much out of luck if I want the LE huh?
Decided last minute that I don't want the regular version. :/

HaloGAF, help me out. Calm my nerves about the MP. I love Halo's MP. And yes, that includes Reach's MP. I prefer the fairness of it, unlike the Perk & killstreak system of CoD. I mean, I don't hate CoD's MP, I just prefer Halo's MP and only have time for 1 online FPS.
Even though I've had the LE preordered since it was announced, I've barely followed any media coverage of Halo 4. I haven't watched any of FUD shows yet. The only trailers I seen have been on TV.
Anyone here play the MP yet? How is it?
What is this? Does the premium theme come with the LE?

I'm pretty sure this game is going to score off the charts and they know it. When review embargos are held up until release day it usually means the pub is not confident it's going to get stellar reviews.
Smashing OT Ghal!
Can't believe my hype keeps getting higher. I just wish it had come out a month or more sooner as it would have sold more not brushing so close to CoD. MS had to do this though to push systems against the Wii U launch, so I guess I can sort of blame Nintendo.
Can't wait to get in a Scorpion and...MANTIS!

The graphics are great, well done!
So are we expecting Ocarina of Time/GTAIV level of quality?

I think Conor used the wrong word to describe the embargo ending.
That sucks, I would highly recommend Cryptum and Primordium seeing as how the Foreunners will be such a large part of this trilogy. Maybe its just me, but I'm fascinated by the Forerunners and enjoyed the books even though there were some slow parts.

Great OP!
IGN review up late tonight, should be interesting even though I don't put much into their reviews.

So did they fix Master Chief's space diaper yet?
Kyle's OT was seriously awesome. Best laugh I've had in a while. And filter through the sarcasm and he was pretty accurate as well.
Are those with a standard pre-order? I don't remember them mentioning any of that stuff.

Depends on where you live, I guess. If you reside in the US, Gamestop will probably be out of LE stock. However, you could always try Target, Best Buy, or Walmart if you really think you want it. I'd like to believe that Microsoft has learned their lesson after the massive overstock of the Halo 3 and Reach special editions, but I doubt you won't be able to find it.
If you live outside of the US, I can't give you any advice.
Don't most Walmart's stay open for 24 hours? I haven't been to one in ages, so I don't know.Anyone know if Walmart is doing midnight release? They seem to be the only ones left with the LE. I'm planning on passing by after class later this afternoon but if anyone knows you can save me the trip.
