    Anybody going to pick up this game at midnight?  I am already going to play with guys from an other forum/webstie after we pick it up that night, but in case that falls through, I am wondering who here is going to be a part of the midnight launch.  My gamertag is ForeverFlash if anyone is potentially interested.

    No, I am not going to probably pick this up until the holidays. Still looks good though.

    I am in college as well, but I don't have classes other than on Monday night(my two other classes are online and independent study).  My work starts at 12pm, so I have enough time.  I still probably won't sleep, though.

    Hahaha. Sounds terrible. 
     I've got a Bio lab at 8 on tuesday, so no midnight launch for me either.

    I'm going to pick it up now.  After seeing a lot of footage, I decided to get it.  Another good thing is that it comes with the Halo 3 multiplayer maps, which I never bought any, so that's another plus.

    I ordered it online, got free shipping, coming tomorrow.  I kind of enjoyed the Halo 2 midnight launch, but it's also not an efficient way to get the game.  I would have had to drive up there, preorder the game, then drive up again in the middle of the night and probably wait an hour or 2 (that's how long it took last time)...

    Hmm. Never been to a midnight release, I'm thinking ODST would be a good one to start on.

    For the Halo 3 launch, we set up shop about 14 hours before outside of gamestop and had multiple TV's set up and play Halo 2 and watched some UFC.    Good times except we got poured on the final 90 minutes.  In retrospect - the whole experience wore me out went to bed right when I got home - defeating the point of a midnight launch.  I went and picked up my copy of GTA IV at midnight but also found myself unmotivated to play that night - have since told myself no more midnight launches.

    I had a nice long conversation with an EB/Gamestop employee about how this game doesn't need a midnight launch. Midnight launches are almost becoming as superfluous as special edition versions of games.
