Does anyone have details if Halo 4 will be at the following two events in Melbourne Australia this weekend?
-
Game Masters
-
Oz Comic-Con
I live in Melbourne, Australia and would attend but I’m not finding information about Halo 4 on their respective websites. There was a Neogaf (AusGaf) post saying Halo 4 there but I can’t seem to confirm anything official.
Do any forum members, mods or 343i staff know if Halo 4 is going to be at either event? If so what day/time?

Evil comment.

I’m guessing you’re a Syndey-sider, Manly maybe?
Any news on Halo 4 for Australian shores?
Cause you come from a land down under! No, I don’t have any info on it. But, wait till Comic-Con there will be plenty of info from there.
Am I the only Queenslander in the forums?
(People who don’t know, it’s a state in Aus)

No, I live in Ballarat.
It doesn’t look like Halo will be showing at the events you listed, OP.

I’m trying to confirm yes or no but if you’re right, that sucks!
While I’m aware 343i can’t be everywhere these events have major sponsors, guest and exhibitors. They’re a cornerstone of gaming here in Australia too.
I helped run the gaming section at Ozcomicon Adelaide and they didnt have anything like that for upcoming games. Just existing games.

Ok thanks for the heads up mate. I guess that confirms NO Halo 4 for Oz Comic Con, pity.
Crap! I completely forgot about Tim Schafer being in Melbourne today.
Wow dude. Even if Halo 4 was at OzComicCon you would not have been able to play it. That con was terrible! Half the people that went were turned away at the door!

Glad I chose not to go then. Also skipped Game Masters. Maybe I’m an event snob?

40,000 people turned up. Only about 20,000 people got in (not sure exactly on the numbers, I think they did the ‘one-out one-in’ thing). There’s been a lot of complaints and they might be up for a class-action lawsuit.
I didn’t even bother lining up, I went to Game Masters where there was no line and plenty of people to hang around with.
