Thought it would be a good addition to the $20 ODST deal

with free release day delivery and no tax, much better than walmart

Agreed. Going at midnight makes the experience that much more enjoyable. I did it with Halo 3 and I'll be doing it for Reach.Blueblur1 said:On second thought, I'll pass on the online retailers. I'll need my Halo fix on launch night, not 4 days later.
They need to make it so if a player is inactive for so many minutes, he's booted from the game.WJD said:What's the point in joining a game if you're not even going to fucking play? Pricks.

CrazedArabMan said:When it comes to Halo, I go with a brick and mortar store purchase because I know for a fact I can pick it up when I want and not have to worry if my online order will show up or not.
It already does that.Striker said:They need to make it so if a player is inactive for so many minutes, he's booted from the game.
Nutter said:It already does that.
If you are inactive and your controller "turns off" then next game it boots you out of the active lobby (the matchmaking loop)
Yup! That's how it works. :lolBungieware said:Quidditch? *Files for copyright*
Seriously though, if that ends up in matchmaking I want credit. Because the more I think about it, the more I realise it could work. There's your arena right there:
Niiiiccceee. Whoa @ friends and family starting in 5 weeks.ManCannon said:LTTP but here are some answers to recently posted questions and a few other unsolicited ramblings:
The March podcast with Sage & Carney looks like it's going to land first thing next week.
The next round of multiplayer coverage should surface tomorrow morning courtesy of some media partner websites and then Urk will spin his own special version of it for Friday on Bnet.
Expect to see some new info dropping in similar fashion over the next few weeks.
It'll be a while before any official Bungie videos emerge but April should be a fun month on a few different fronts, hopefully making the wait a little more bearable.
It's hard to believe that the Friends & Family portion of the beta begins just 5 weeks from tomorrow! :lol (with the remaining several million joining the fray on May 3rd)
Oh and the e3 meetingpocalypse is in full swing, gaining momentum every week. Can it hurry up and be fall plz.
Yeah I pre-ordered BFBC2 at my local Game Crazy and paid it off. I went to go pick it up and they said they didn't have enough, despite my pre-order (eh, wtf?), so I took my money back, went to the K-Mart right next door, and they had a crap load of copies.OuterWorldVoice said:After my COD pre-order Fiasco (pre-ordered, pre-paid, was told to stand in an HOUR LONG line the day AFTER the game launched to pick up one I already paid for), I am going to Target this year.

Can't wait to learn about the cR system and other things tomorrow.
Podcast early next week? Perfect way to start off my spring break. Nice to know Bungie will be keeping the same level of generosity with the Reach beta as they did with the Halo 3 beta (F&F).ManCannon said:LTTP but here are some answers to recently posted questions and a few other unsolicited ramblings:

Tomorrow is the game journalists' attempt at explaining the content. Friday is the day Urk properly explains it.Dani said:Ditto. Funny how, despite the early leak, we still know next to nothing about the ranking/cR feature at all. Kinda glad we've been kept in the dark about as I'm sure tomorrow we'll have it properly explained with the same treatment Arena and matchmaking received last week (perhaps without a bonus Q&A!).
Once again, thanks Brian.ManCannon said:LTTP but here are some answers to recently posted questions and a few other unsolicited ramblings:

ManCannon said:I can't say with 100% certainty but I believe those tokens will apply to May 3rd access to the beta. My guess is that the codes would be sent out on that day but I don't have the final details yet. The sheer volume and scope of those offers would exponentially increase the scope of the "friends and family" weekend (which is really just a smaller scale ice breaker to make sure we're ready for prime time before we open the flood gates on Monday).
Bungie is so awesome.I don't want to write any checks I can't cash but I'm pretty sure we'll end up with some number of extra early invites to spread around as we can. We're all family here, right?
