I understand the concern over the LE and what is in it VS. other options but for me its all about being a personal choice.
I have either a limited Edition or Legendary Edition for every Halo game where one was available. I like the extra content and since I really only spend my gaming money on Halo these days I enjoy having something physical or "special" that I can hold on to.
Honestly I blindly purchase many of these things with the intent of opening them up to find out what is inside(Curse you Halo 2 Tin case! You will not be forgotten! Wish there were more cases like this these days)
Yeah I imagine a lot of people do this, but for me I don't want to pay so much for a game I may end up not liking, the physical content has to justify the price and without knowing what it is im hesitant to put down an order. Truth be told the only reason im considering the LE is because of the map pack pass, but it may work out cheaper to get the standard edition and the pass separate anyway
Q/A question about Pax, basically everyone asked about why you can't drop the flag, Grifball or Cortana ass.
Crushed dreams.
Game will be like 3 weeks away at that point, omlet you cray.

Summary about how awesome PAX was.
Summary about Exile and CTF reveal.
Reminder about how hard they are working finishing Halo 4.
Paragraph describing the atmosphere at 343 or attitudes or some other thing like cooking.
Promises of more to come.

You forgot some challenge updates for that game nobody cares about anymore, but I'll be shocked if that isn't exactly what we'll get.

A reason for me to go is to meet with great people and hang out with them. And I have never been to NYC.

The game comes with 2 discs?

Yup, there's a second disk viewable in the LE promo pics. Not details at all on what is on it and if it's exclusive to the LE or not.
yepp we saw a picture where 2 Discs were showed.
I have a feeling that is the MP install disc. Would be nice to finally have an answer though :/

If the 2nd disc isn't some extra disc for the LE, I'd guess it has Multiplayer and Spartan Ops on it with single player being on the first disc.

So why won't they talk about it yet?
No way my 20GB HDD can fit 2 game installs + 8GB for DLC.

You can get a 60 gig at GameStop for like $30 or $40 now.
Downloadable, not on disc

Multiplayer install disk.
Not even downloadable, it's Waypoint streaming only, right?

Yup, to watch you have to stream it online over Live.
I thought the second disk was the FUD web series on DVD maybe some behind the scenes game dev stuff. Pretty sure in one of the other OTs Frankie explained why FUD was on DVD and not bluray because the Xbox only has a DVD drive. I could be completely wrong on this though......

Good thing I bought that 16gb USB just for the occasion

No. The second disc is just Disc 2 of the game.
Aren't the 8GB hardware space for Spartan Ops Season 1?

The new and improved Waypoint, as built by the fine folks at AOL. Can't wait to see the new In The Spotlight section!
Im pretty sure it said 8 gigs required to play Multi-player so I am assuming that 8 gig install also includes the first season of Spartan Ops. Like I said, no way is MP going to be 8 gigs by itself.

Disc 2 is Halo 2 Anniversary.
Halo 2 multiplayer is Black Ops 2 Multi reskinned with Halo 2 assets.

Got an email while I was out of the office from this fine gentleman (poor guy):
Back on topic, I'm hoping the 8GB issue doesn't mean that 343 is doing something like Harmonix did with Rock Band Blitz (buy the game and then "oh by the way, you still need to download the songs and shit before you can really play").

Yeah, of course. The first season of Spartan Ops is on Disc but will be unlocked over weeks. No way that's going to happen...

What about all those grey textures in Forge?

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is.
It has to be, you can't have a mandatory install just to play War Games, MS doesn't allow mandatory installs for Xbox games. You can have optional ones like BF3 though.
Well season 1 wont even be finished after the game goes gold so we will still download it but I don't think all of MP or the first season of Spartan Ops is going to be 8 gigs each. I can see around 4 gigs for the MP maps and then another 4 or so gigs for the first season of Spartan Ops.
Really I just wish they would tell us though.

Steve Downes just posted this on Facebook:
And here's a link to the auction.
Found it on the HBO forum. If you have spare bags of cash go throw some towards a good cause.
