[Aimless]

You only place the end of the YouTube URL between the tags, the part after "v=". So in your case:

So I haven't been following this but I haven't really got any games to play. Can someone like bullet-point why this game is worthy of my attention? (I'm not saying it isn't. I <3 Halo, apart from Halo: STD. That sucked.)

[Caris]

Imo it's the true next gen Halo, in every aspect.

 

That can only be a good thing.

Can't actually wait for this now. I've got so bored of how woefully unbalanced and frustrating MW2 is - pandering to players who aren't good at the game by giving them stupid perks. It's one of the main reasons why Halo is so great: it's so perfectly balanced that you never feel cheated out of a death.

Whats with the dancing Spartan's at PAX!

One week, bitches.

One week, bitches.

 

For some reason I thought this was out on Friday.

[Charlie]

Where have you all preordered this from?

 

Do Gameplay still deliver the day before it's due out? Or any other options?

[Dan_Dare]

I went with shopto.net. They have a good record on day early deliveries and generally have a really good record.

I went with shopto.net. They have a good record on day early deliveries and they're pretty cheap. They're like how Play used to be.

[Shorty]

I went with shopto.net, they tend to screw you over at the last minute, decline your card and give preferential shipping times to people who've ordered with them before, making it impossibly difficult to order with them a first time (even if it's not actually your first time, they're just mindlessly claiming that it is).

 

Not really, I went with Tesco.

[Emerald Emblem]

I preordered from HMV, cause of the bonus MS points.

[Murr]

I just pre-orderd my collectors from Play.com

 

i was torn whether to get regular or collectors, but I've got collectors edition of the other halo games, so would seem silly to not do it this time.

 

also on play get a code for some helmet which i assume will be for multiplayer, i didnt read that much into it just got lost looking at the pictures for the collectors edition

 

 

EDIT - FUCK... seen it for £49 on Amazon... Play pre-order cancelled, Amazon order placed

I've not pre-ordered. I'm hoping to freestyle it to Asda on the night of release. Provided I've got enough funds.

Thats my plan of action on FIFA Release nights, however i cant afford to take the risk on losing out on Halo Reach goodies

[Caris]

Hopefully I'll get this Saturday.
