I won't be buying the game... and I'm not even going to play it (at first). I'm going to watch my brother play the campaign.

Whoa! Scratch that, I totally forgot that the campaign was Co-op! Yay. Okay, I'll probably spend the first day playing the campaign with my brother. Besides Bioshock 2, this is probably my most anticipated 360 release this year, and I'm not even a FPS fan. That's how awesome I think the game will be.

Got quite a lot of holiday pay saved up to take so already taking two weeks of. I think also being the boss is a benifit so i can take longer if i want. Can't fucking wait only 23 days to go.

I'll probably receive the game from Gamestop at around Friday 17th since I don't live in the USA [sad face] and I made more or less a schedule. I'll finish the campaign twice {on a different difficulty each time} on the weekend [I'll play it non-stop]; and then I'll try each playlist and everything else throughout the week after I get back home so by the following weekend I'll be playing whatever I found the most fun.

I know I'll be having a really hard time trying not to think about Reach on the morning before I get home.

Man alot of negativity in this thread.  For some reason Halo threads always seem to bring that out of certain people.

Anyways I'll be working the midnight launch at my Gamestop and then after everyone else gets to go home and pop in the game before me I'm rushing straight home and putting it in my box.  I already told everyone at work to cover for me the rest of the week cause I'll be showing the Covenant what it means to get revenge on them for killing over 100 million innocent civilians and glassing a lush planet.

Spartans never die.  They just go missing in action.  

We should do some coop campaign.

Hell yeah and some FireFight for sure! did you see the new map Bungie announced today?

Meh, your loss. And it's quite fine, downers like you should not get to experiance the joys of life.

Yeah is it the one in the bungie update? (the sand like map)  

Oh, I forgot to add that I will not be taking any days off for this game. It's not that I don't want to, but with a family to support, a boss who is demanding everybody work overtime, I really need all the money I can get since I can barely afford to preorder the game (But I wll be doing it within the next few hours!) and since I recently took time off to help my wife recover from childbirth, I cannot. Were I single I would take off a week or so.

Not taking anytime off because I'm starting my Masters and I really should go to class this time...barely went for the last semester of my degree, so gotta take this more seriously.

Still be getting it day one though, assuming I finish class that day before 6pm.

I totally understand why people take days off though, I designed my semester one schedule last year to give me Wednesdays off all because of The Beatles Rock Band
