EDIT: For those who don’t know what going gold means, it means the game is finished completely on the developers side of things and it is all up to Microsoft for certification.
Damn, beat me to make this topic.
Anyways, hurra for 343! We thank you for all your hard time and effort you put into this game! Good to hear you’ve got this done, now there’s the long road ahead for Halo 5 and 6.
Good stuff, now I wonder how long it’ll be before it’s available to download before the release. Halo 3 and Reach were both available for a whole month beforehand after all. xD
