heres the scenario, you are gonna spend all day playing the biggest FPS of 2012 (HALO 4) and you want as much day as possible, let me guide you through how to Ready Up quickly
if your the lore kind of person, catch up on your HALO lore between HALO 3 and 4, and watch Forward Unto Dawn
.if you have a friend who works at your local game store, they might give you it early
. if you are at school or work and your shift/school day ended, get home as quickly as possible!
.hang up your posters and door signs
.redeem ALL your bonus codes for it if you have any and install the disks onto the HDD (in-game and via dashboard for better gameplay and to play MP)
. pack up as many snacks as you need if your Marathon’ing it (especially if your marathon’ing it through November 5th-6th for the presidential campaign day-off you lucky dog!)
.going to a launch event? be at the event atleast 30 minutes BEFORE the event starts (and grab any swag as soon as you see it and meet ANY 343i staff you see there, why not try getting their autograph all over your HALO merch and play some HALO with them if you can) and have a good time there
.check how much time off you might have during November 5th-11th 2012, if it is a full week, you have plenty of time in your hands
.try fake-sicking it (I wouldn’t recommend it though)
there you go, a handy guide to getting the best of a good November 6, happy HALO Day everybody
