This thread is for all the people who ordered their copy of Halo 4 online.

How will you spend your time while waiting for UPS/FedEx/whoever to deliver your game?

Unfortunately, UPS generally comes by my house around 4-6pm (sometimes even as late as 8pm). I’m sure the anticipation will be overwhelming.

My plan? Stay up real late on the 5th->6th (go to bed sometime around 5am on the 6th). I’m going to pass out near the door in case UPS does come earlier than usual (note on door- Please ring doorbell at least six times, thanks).

So what is everyone else doing?

Well, when Reach came out, my friend nextdoor got his Standard copy with the rest of his post at about 9-10am.

My Legendary copy had to be delivered by Parcel Force and didn’t arrive untill 3pm.

I was gutted as I had taken the day off work, even though that perticular day I was only suposed to work 8am till 1pm.

First ,my copy of halo 4 is going to arrive 1-2 weeks after the official release.What do i do until then?Study,eat,shower,usual life things and on my spare time either play AvP,MK9 or Fable 2,games wich i just got by trading it with the ones i have(30 games,i don’t even play half of them).

But buddy,remember,sooner or later you will get this game&you will enjoy every little bit of it.Just have pacience :slight_smile:

^ Haha… Or “Plz ring til i come to the door. Don’t stop til i have received this pkg.”

I’ve put my trust in Amazon (UK) and Royal Mail. They normally come to my house at 12/1PM, so i’ll wake up at about 10 just incase it comes early and basically watch my drive like a hawk. If he collects the stuff from his van and I don’t see a brown package I will hulk smash him

7

Well seeing as I couldn’t afford same day shipping… I will be waiting an extra 3 days. Maybe I’ll camp out in my yard waiting for the UPS guy to drive up.

8

watching videos of spartan ops and multiplayer online, no wait! i live in an apartment with other 3 halo fanatics too, they’re all getting halo 4 release day. F- YEEAAAHH!

9

The wait for the game to be delivered is going to be harder than the wait for the game to be released! :frowning:

I really hope it comes on the day.

Thankfully, I had PTO days I needed to use before the end of the year; or I’d lose them.

I know the feeling though.

11

I’ll wake up. Shower. Vote. By then I’ll be in my 9:30 class, and I get out of school by 12:15, and my game will be there. =3

12

???

I wouldn’t dream of shipping something like HALO 4, I pre-ordered, yes, but as an IN-STORE pick up. Why? Because I want to get it the second its available at midnight, if not the first morning of November 6th. Maybe after voting.

I mean, think about it. Your shipment could get delayed. It might not come until … (gasp) WEDNESDAY

My heart would just full on drop out of my as’ if the postman said he didn’t have anything.

14

It always gets delivered around 10-11 AM for me. But often when I really want it, it seems like they know and deliver it at 3 PM. Anyway, I will get out of bed at around 7 AM and just stare at the door…

I’ll spend the morning making a Cortana costume - made up of no clothes, full blue bodypaint, melons in my gf’s bra, a wig made from the head of a mop that I’ll cut into the shape of cortanas hair and some glitter that I’ll sprinkle across my whole body.

Once that’s done, I’ll turn the radio onto a station so it’s only just there, but mostly static and you can’t hear anything properly.

Then I’ll cover my entire hallway in tinfoil - ceiling, floor, walls, shoes, cupboard - everything covered in tinfoil. I will then set up a disco ball light in the middle of the hall, but replace every colour on the ball with blue.

Finally, I will put a note on the door asking the postman to knock to a specific note-sheet which I will leave on the door also. The notesheet will be of the original CE tune.

When postie gets to my house he’ll be thinking “I’m nearly done :slight_smile: just this parcel to number 11 and then I can head home and…what’s this? A note sheet? Sounds fun! I’ll tr…”

Suddenly my door will fly open and I shall thrust myself towards him, knocking him over and leaving him to gaze up at a fully grown man, covered in blue paint and glitter, wearing a bra with some painted melons inside and a hastily cut mop head as a wig. The hallway shall glitter blue behind me to further present my shimmering blue body as I stand over him. The radio shall blare in the background - inaudible voices and static.

“JOHN!!” I shall shout.

“But… but im… my name… is… ben…” stammers the postman, but I simply grab the parcel from his shaking hands.

“JOHHHN!” I repeat. “WAKE UP JOOOHHHNN!!!”

The postman will lie there stunned, not knowing what is about to happen.

“IT IS HERE! I HAAAVVE IT!! THE INFINITY NEEDS MEEE!!”

He climbs to his feet and runs back to his van, glancing behind him in panicked terror as I hold the parcel above my head, basking in its awesome glory!

“JOHHHHHHNNNNNn!!!” I scream! “I’M GOING RAMPANT JOHHHNNN!!”

After the postman escapes I will run inside to my kitchen and grab a knife (which I previously covered in leftover blue glitter) and tear the parcel open.

“JOOOHHH…” I begin to wail, but then I notice that Amazon must have had a mix-up at the warehouse as I clutch my brand new copy of Farming Simulator 2013.

You know then OP, a normal day.

16

I’ll be in school. :frowning:

And I have Football practice at 5:30 am on Nov. 6, so my day will be a thousand years long.

I don’t even know if my game will come on launch day. Doesn’t matter, since I won’t play until the weekend.
