Sweet! This will help me get my BR faster! (I can aquire quite a few Dew codes before Halo 4 comes out.)

can anyone plz tell me how long the single player campaign will be? I don't want to read through the entire thread to find out :_P

It's a total of 8 missons and a prologue. Not exactly sure how long it will take to beat though, but probably anywhere from 7-10 hours depending on difficulty.

Halo 4 LE OST pushed back for spoilers

The only thing I can remember hearing about the campaign length is that it will be about the same as past main Halo games. I believe it was O'Connor who said it.

I'm seriously diggin' the way Flood mode looks. I never really liked any of the other Halo zombie gametype because the zombies were at such a disadvantage. They seem to have the potential to put up a better fight in this. These are the times that I'm glad time flies.
