Alright, so in 41 days I will skip classes and maybe call in sick for work. Good to know.

I'm going to grudgingly get it. I won't be happy about it though.

The changes they made... im so skeptical.

Awesome !! :D

Looks like by that date it should be a Win for 360 gamers & Romney / Ryan alike. :twisted:

Cant wait, biggest exclusive of the year :cool:

Counting the days. Will be awesome. Though I don't expect it to reach AAA here. 8.5'ed I reckon.

Just a few posts in, and butthurt Sony Defense Force is already in full gear! :D

@kuraimen

Have you bought a PS3 yet?

Go for it, they're rather cheap nowdays... ;)

If it has a decent campaign, I'll be picking the game up... for Christmas.

Cows, you have 41 days to save for a 360 and XBL subscription.RR360DD

They aren't gonna buy a 360. They are content enough unlike Lems.

I'm looking for a good reason to get my 360 out of its dust collecting place.

Yes, I'm justifying my 360 purchase here. I'm desperately looking for games to play on it. Luckily, I own a PS3 and gaming PC.

Meh, hope yall enjoy it though.

Will be 20$ for Black FridayMonsieurX

The fact they could come out over a month early and say, confidently, "we are done" really increases my confidence in the game being outstanding. 41 days is going to just fly by.Zeviander

Isn't it standard that the game should be done by now? Not sure how this particular case is special.

Cows will be in meltdown mode come November.

Stringerboy

Nah.

Cows have too many decent exclusives to care about this average shooter.

can't wait.

# 1 console shooter, not even debatable.

This isn't all that special for a Halo game. Reach went gold in June '10 and released a little more than three months later.

Err.... I'm not sure I follow what you are referring to, most of the AAA games these days release without hitches, and even still, how do you know they aren't going to patch something?
