For a normal midnight release, all that you really have to worry about is getting your game. I believe this midnight release will be a little different. Why? Mainly #1:
1. Griefers will show up with megaphones and will spoil the whole plot of H4 along with others. Kind of like this. Look at how many people have been trying to spoil the game online… It’s bound to happen IRL somewhere.
2. Idiots cutting in front of you. I was 6th in line for the midnight release of Halo: Reach and when they started selling the game, this -Yoink- directly behind me cut in front of multiple people. There was two registers open too. Something like this is not likely to happen, but stay cautious.
3. Flash mobs or robbers showing up to steal copies. Again, not likely to happen but still possible.
List some more possible setbacks if you know of any. I know there’s some issues over on the East coast, although I’m in Nevada so I can’t really personally account for anything that’s happening over there.

I’ve actually been thinking of filling up my bike tires and bikiing.
Never would happen, or atleast where I’m picking up my game. I’ve never seen this happen before.
Never would happen, or that person would get called out or get his -Yoink- kicked.
Has happened, but only at gun point when a person was walking to their car. Its not something to fear, but just keep a watch over who’s approaching you.
You know what there worst thing can happen to you at a midnight release. Your next in line, you go to pick up your game that you payed off and the clerk tells you they accidently sold your Limited Edition.
always a possibility, the harry potter one was really awful, i wasnt there, but that sucks. happened at my halo 3 release too, but i was listening to my iPod at the time so i lucked out.
my gamestop implimented a new system recently, you show up, you get a number, theres ten of each number and each number represents a group. when the group number is called you can go in. problem solved. it also means you can come and go as you please.
never heard of this, but a gamestop near my house got broken into around closing when the ps3 came out and the worker there got beat up pretty bad.

> My 4th Gen. .40 cal glock 23 loaded with 185gr hollow points is more than enough to deal with any of those situations.
Good idea, I’ll be sure to bring a BR85 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle with 9.5x40mm M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing Rounds and a few M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose grenades. That will be more than enough to deal with all of those problems.
Yeah, my Gamestop just hands out numbers and you can go wherever you want until they call your number, rendering line cutting useless. Even still, I’m picking my copy up at my 24 hour Walmart.

I think these both might be little hard to conceal…But there really isn’t much having a CCW won’t fix :D.
