The Halo Bulletin: 5.16.12

Announcing the Halo 4 Limited Edition!

The limited edition is now on my game list. And of course Spartans must wash their hands, what with all the Grunt blood on it.

I don’t see the Limited edition available for pre-order, just the regular 59.99 edition (checked the retailer sites from the link given in the bulletin). When will it be available?

I’m really quite disappointed that there’s not a Legendary edition… i would’ve loved some new statue’s.
That said, the Limited edition box looks BOSS totally gona get it

Present me with a feature-packed Legendary Edition, then we’ll talk.

The lack of a Legendary edition is a MASSIVE disappointment, as is the lack of physical stuff. Maybe the Briefing Packet will be as good as Halsey’s Journal and all that stuff, but I doubt it.

Omigosh!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for!! The Limited Edition of Halo 4 is what I’m going to buy!!! I can’t wait to go to Gamestop and Pre-Order my copy of Halo 4!! GO 343 Industries!!!

Just got goose-bumps watching the animated Key Art. So ready for 11/06/12!

Amazon hasn’t added a pre-order option for limited edition yet. Just regular. :[
(But seriously, I’m thoroughly enjoying 343’s mentality of giving us so much stuff!)

I’ll be picking my Halo 4 limited edition on 06/11/'12 :stuck_out_tongue:
It’s awesome, I’m SO excited now! Especially for E3. :smiley:

Hopefully the Limited Edition will be posted up on Play.com soon.

The lack of a Legendary Edition is both disappointing and relieving at the same time. I’m disappointed at the lack of physical swag (that would have undoubtedly been included in the Legendary Edition) but relieved that I won’t have to worry about getting $XXX together for the LE.

That being said, I’m on the fence on the Limited Edition. We have…

  • Three free map packs that’ll be released in the future…
  • 6 early-unlocked Specializations, giving those who bought the Limited Edition and edge of those who have not. (Assumption)
  • UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet
  • Halo 4: F.U.D. Special Edition - Extended edition of the live-action series that will be premiering on Machinima’s network.
  • XBL Bonus Content - Unique in-game S-IV armor skin, unique in-game AR skin, exclusive in-game emblem, XBL Avatar prop, S-IV armor set.

two words: rifle skin? I’m still excited but i mean, thats a huge one noone has noticed! I’m definantly going to preorder and want to sincerely thank 343 for keeping this on the edge of my seat! I wasnt even this excited for Reach!

So…

$60 for the game
$30 for future DLC
$10 for everything else

Totally worth it, IMO

Ω

Anyone have any word on when the Limited Edition will be available for presale?

Will there be a Halo 4 edition Xbox released too? Or are you not discussing that yet?

Oh good, now I won’t have to decide between the Legendary and Limited Editions of the game, since there’s just one of them! Thank you!

The content looks great if you ask me. I mean, the Limited Edition costs 30$ more than the regular edition, which isn’t too bad, especially since we’re getting three map packs with it. How much would those three map packs cost normally? Ah yes, 30$. So for the same price we’d pay normally, we’re getting a few extra goodies and a cool case!

About the Assault Rifle skin, I think it might just be a different weapon option to pick from, and doesn’t necessarily mean that there are weapon skins in-game. This other weapon that we (the limited edition buyers) would have access to could function exactly like the MA5D, but it would just look different.

Still, thank you 343 Industries for this great package! It may hurt my wallet a bit more, but it will be totally worth it!

In my opinion, it’s amazing value. I prefer it to Reach’s legendary edition anyway.

And playing a new Halo game with friends?
Priceless!

Loving this bulletin. <3

Wow, news I’m happy about. They finally brought back the steel case!!!

Btw is there going to be a Halo 4 Xbox console? I need a final edition Xbox with Halo on it since I missed out on the Reach one… Spartan Green would be nice…

And why not, its a good way to bring in more customers to Xbox 360. Halo 3 and Halo Reach had there own Xbox Consoles.

I’m thinking either to get the Halo console and/or Limited Edition.
