    So have you preorder Halo anniversary yet?

    Last night I preorder it at Gamestop and so I decided I would post this poll and discuss what comes with the preorder and what I am looking forward to playing in Halo CEA.

    Now not much has been discussed about pre-order other then the fact that it comes with the following:

    The Grunt Funeral Skull: another fun skull that makes it that when grunts die in the campaign (and possibly on installation 04) after a few second delays the grunt's methane tank explodes with an explosion the equivialant of a plasma gernade.

    Master Chef Avatar armor: According to a few sources you will also recieve armor for your Avatar resembling our hero's armor from the first game. As a result you could play games like: Band Hero, Avatar Legends, etc., as "Master Chief."

    Now what I am looking forward to the most in Halo CEA is:
    1. The multiplayer maps- I am especially looking forward to playing/forging on Solitary and Breakneck. plus more envirornments for the Defience Machinima infection series I (when I say "I" I am only saying it as such cause I am currently the only representive of the project) am working on.
    2. Installation 04- ODST allies makes more fun gameplay options for Elite players and fun for ODST lovers (like yours truely).
    3. The Flood- They scared the crap out of us in the first game and they should be scary now. Like watching Aliens in 3-D.
    4. Terminals- more backstory and perhaps a few hints as to what might happen in Halo 4 (like if it will be as good as all its predecessors).
    Well, hope you enjoy and comment on weither you are pre-ordering Halo CEA and why here. :D

    I'm not preordering but I'll buy it a couple days later.

    I like points 1 and 3 the most but another thing I'm excited about is the marines help you in firefight.

    Yeah true i am really excited for the marines too.

    I pre-ordered because I wanted to have a copy right away (not waiting a few weeks for reshipment) so I could play some awesome multiplayer.

    What surpised me though was that I thought it would be around $50 and it was much less then that. I would mention the price but that might be considered spaming so I won't say unless I am informed that it is ok.

    Not that I care about the stuff that comes with the preorder, but I generally preorder something so that I can pay it off slowly over time and have it paid off by the time the game comes out so I don't have to dish out a ton of cash at once and can just go home and enjoy the game without thinking about the dent in my checking account.

    true i just wasn't sure if it would be considered trolling if I mentioned that and therefore I didn't mention it prior. Now this is going to sound really silly of me but isn't that cheaper then the halo reach preorder?

    I'll just pick it up when it's released. Don't really bother with pre-orders.

    I won't preorder it, but I'm most likely buying it. There aren't that many games that I'm looking forward to this year so I might as well buy it.

    $40 isn't a "special" pre-order price. That's the actual price of the game.

    As for pre-ordering it... I'm still not sure. I may just wait until it's out and get it.

    Yeah why is there such a price difference between Aus and America? With the dollar conversion atm we should be paying less. Anyways, Im probs gonna get it maybe a month after release and then alternate between it and Battlefield 3.

    I did that for Reach...

    Was a waste of time tbh.

    Anyway, I don't actually know the date the games supposed to be released so I haven't bothered to pre-order it...

    No. The forging is done on the multiplayer maps. Which are in the Reach engine. We're just getting new pieces, it's not a new type of forge.

    its £35 in the UK. Halo is dying because of COD, and the fact that a large amount of gamers are COD fanboys. I mean, even here we have closet cod fans!

    SO I will get in a month of two after launch, when the price will have shot down to £15, 20 or so.
