OK, so something awesome just happened. I got an email from the postal service which is handling my Halo 4 pre-order, and they say it should arrive between the 2nd November and the 6th.
That’s pretty awesome, but my question is will we be able to play on Xbox LIVE without getting into any trouble on the 2nd?
Thanks!
Sure go ahead it should be fine as long as its an actual legit copy. They can tell the difference.
You’ll be fine 
I’m wondering that too, my friend is getting it on Friday too and we don’t know if we are supposed to 1v1-Splitscreen all day or if we can Splitscreen-MM all day…(campaign is out of discussion since i want to play it Solo legendary first when i get my copy on Nov. 6th and YES, i’m forcing my friend to play with me all day XD)
Microsoft should be able to tell if it’s a legit copy or not so you should be fine.
…but they’ll probably reset all ranks on the 5th ready for launch.
You should be fine, microsoft know that some people will get some copies earlier than others and the fact that they should be able to tell if it’s a legitimate copy, so go nuts my friend! 
I think you’ll be fine.
It’s possible that they’ll do a stats reset on the 5th. I think they did that with Reach.
NO you cant because it has to be sent to a specific address first. PM me and I’ll tell you the address and once you get it just send it there to get it activated. Don’t worry pal I’ll have your halo 4 copy working in no time
