Lol I'm actually going to be eating and drinking Mtn Dew and Doritos while playing this game for the first time. Dat publicity has been effective.

If you like to collect, and are a fan of Halo this has been a good year. There are offerings from McFarlane, Sqaure Enix, ThreeA, Sideshow and others. I am particularly fond of the statues..
--
There is the Sideshow Halo CEA Master Chief statue:
It is limited edition of 1050 if you include both variants and costs $399
--
(FUD episode 5 spoilers)
McFarlane is offering a resin statue from Forward Unto Dawn that is 14inches tall, limited to 500 pieces and costs $225. If you haven't seen the show and plan to, do not look at the pictures until then as this is from a climatic scene.
To avoid spoilers I have cropped the pictures:
--
And finally, Sideshow has just begun to tease a new Halo 4 Cortana statue!
I had to skip the MC sideshow piece due to price, but I have preordered the McFarlane statue and I really think I will do the same with Cortana (depending on price and how it looks.)
Were it so easy.
Thats the first time I have seen the exact numbers. They are a bit misleading as different skins count as different armor, but it is still some insane customization.

Oh really? I thought I saw on the MLG stream someone with a damage boost die and still had a bit of it left after respawning. Oh well.

So I'm officially annoyed with street dates now.
Seems like a good number of people have grabbed the game early - including a couple of friends here in Australia (they claim they know people working in a store etc... who knows). The rest of us suckers sit here and wait.
Back to the streams.

So what's the best place I can read up on summaries on everything Halo in chronological order? Meaning from Reach all the way to starting H4, including summaries of the all the books?
It's still not ok in their book.
GAF would be shitting itself if this game was 60fps. If it was, trust me, you'd know.
It isn't

I thought it was 48fps.
Edit: I thought wrong.

Awesome! That's the Cortana statue I designed for sideshow earlier this year. Haven't seen the sculpt yet, but I can't wait to see how it looks!

Color of MC seems really off. Or maybe that's because of the lighting MC is in throughout the series.

It does seem to be a pinch lighter than the armor in FUD.. The statue seems to be colored closer to the Halo Wars Spartans rather than the darker forest green of MC in FUD. Still, I think it looks really good so I'll take it. If they do decide to splatter it with some blood or add some wear and tear I wouldn't mind as it could help the color of the armor pop. Also, the visor could probably look better, but its hard to do that right on a smaller scale.
How long?

Watching the machinima live stream right now is the most beautiful awkward thing

Well... with spartan ops I would imagine it to be a lil shorter.
Around the same as heroic as long as you don't go in guns blazing.
SO is downloaded. Shouldn't have effected campaign length.
Which was? (I haven't taken any notice to review which state the times... people generally rush through). Is it on par with Reach at least?
Uh-huh,..... So how long?
What am I looking at?
People need to plan every second of November 6th to maximize efficiency of Halo 4 playtime before needing to return to the real world.
