I wonder if we can say “I Can Haz recon” on the Bnet forums without getting in trouble now.

Socket, if you’re a Halo and or Microsoft fan you gotta be aware that they LOVE MONEY. Sides Mythic is due out soon anyway, this disc isn’t for a year, not only that it’s gonna probably be about as much has Halo 3 was. Also what wasn’t there to like about Halo 3’s box art? I thought it was beautiful.

Now, at Gamestop we let you pre-order when its announced, but for the full 60 dollar price, so its better to drop 5 bucks on it rather then pay for the whole thing (which we don’t know the price yet) up front.

I thought Halo 3’s boxart was awful.
I like this one though.

SOO, is there any point in downloading (and probably paying) the Mythic Maps, if you’re going to get them FREE with this game anyway? Unless, you want them half a year early that is…

But for people like me (kid with no money), I should probably just wait until th egame comes out right?

Oh come on, did this honestly suprise anyone? You can’t fit an entire game complete with full next-gen engine and features on a simple download, and if Bungie released the Multiplayer map Pack disc for Halo it was obvious eventually they’d release some maps on disc. BUt it doesn’t feel like it’d be the final art, I mean; look at it, the ODST is in the rain, he was in the rain in the trailer, maybe they just slapped some CG image modeled after the trailer on a box. Or maybe it is the final art and I’m a bit to skeptic. Still, while it certainly looks nice a different box image would be nice. Like the Standard Halo 3’s box art, that blew me away. This is just a still of something we’ve already seen.

I think pricepoint-wise $30-$40 is reasonable, but I do think that Microsoft will reach a broader audience by doing a Warhawk-esque release. That is to say, release a retail version with a few extras or something, and then offer a DLC version that is missing a material item. Another thing that they may consider is also doing a limited edition of the game that includes some more stuff but at the full price of a game which would be around $60. That cover art is very nice, I wonder which Bungie artist(s) worked on it?
