Halo 4 also comes with a free 2 weeks.
I know the LE has two weeks, but does the standard edition too? That'd be amazing.
The dev should probably not have lightened that hope as I'm sure they removed it due to the new tech.
edit: Picking this up in four hours. Australia ftw.

It does. In fact that's the only thing in the manual clip, there's no manual and the health warnings and whatnot are printed on the back of the cover art.
Awesome. Don't seem to have a limited edition here.

Thank you ShopTo! (UK)
Fun fact: IC is the only non-vehicle weapon capable of killing the Mantis in a single shot.

So what's the word on this game? I've played every Bungie game other than ODST, and I've even read the Halo expanded universe up until Ghosts of Onyx. But for whatever reason I haven't kept track of Halo 4's production at all.
Should this game please me? Does 343 do anything Bungie was unable to do? And similarly, are they unable to do things Bungie could?

Hope mine gets delivered today.
Come on ShopTo!
Does anything come with the controller this time? I think I got a Banshee Avatar thing with the Reach pad.
Found this while blogging around, thought it was pretty good haha (I tried to quote it but didn't work):
Twas the night before Halo when all through the house Not a creature was stirring - not even a mouse.
The headsets were hung by the remotes with care In hopes that Masterchief soon would be there.
The players were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of melee-ing danced in their heads.
And Cortana in her circuits and I in my gear, Had just rested our hands for a long Infinity year.
When out on the map there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my spawnpoint to see what was the matter.
Away to my base I flew in a Ghost, tore away the Carbine And cursed at the host.
The moon on the breast of the new forming ennies, Gave a luster of midday to the Flood down below.
When what to my bloodshot eyes should appear But a brand new Warthog and new Forrunners to fear.
With Cortana going rampant and going insane I knew in a moment - get ammo and quick!
More rapid than needles his coursers they came And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.
Now Hunters! Now Jackals! Now Grunts and Elites! On Brutes! On Forrunners! On Floods little treats! To the top of crane! To the top of the wall! Now crash away, crash away, dash away all!
As dry shrapnel that after explosions fly When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky So, up to the Sniper Roost, the coursers they flew With a Scorpion full of ammo knowing full what to do.
And then, in Solace I heard on the platform, The cursing and shrieking of each red/blue mourn. As I drew my light rifle and was turning around, Down the Masterchief came with a bound.
He was dressed all in armor from his head to his toe And it was tarnished and damaged from battles we know. A bundle of weapons he had flung on his back And I wanted to kiss him in spite of his sack.
His face, it was hidden, his mask was of gold He truly was a sight to behold. He had broad shoulders and confident stance. I thought to myself - gotta get some of those pants!
With a flick of his wrist and a swipe of his hand, 4 Plasma Grenades at my feet did land. And a Shotgun, a Rocket Launcher with ammo he laid down And I knew that a Mantis soon would be found!
Then tapping his mask with the tip of his gun I knew it was time to start having some fun He sprang to his Warthog - to his captors gave a whistle And away they all flew as if they were hit with a pistol.
But I heard him exclaim as they drove out of sight, Happy Halo to all - now finish the fight!!

Same here. I'm totally refreshing every other minute my inbox/checking my spam folder.
Which is absurd considering the game will take 3 days to get here anyway.
Nah, it's pretty much how the box is made - cardboard and odd angles = bumps in the cardboard.
That looks pretty damaged to me.
Are you sure? Looks like it got a bump on the right.
Hmm, maybe it's that picture then... it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that in natural light - it is certainly in much better condition than other cardboard ones I've had delivered like MW2 and FFXIII, and they're mainly just cardboard outer boxes, this entire thing is strong cardboard.
Yeah, where the cardboard is ever so slightly pushed too far down. It's barely noticeable in normal light, it shows up significantly under a flash though.

The guys that ordered from ShopTo... when did it dispatch? My copy dispatched Saturday and I'm wondering what the chances are of it arriving today.

This.
My postman doesn't normally turn up until 11.30/12ish.
HURRY UP, TIME!!!
I got my e-mail telling me it was dispatched on Saturday morning. I chose normal First Class delivery.
