My local Halo 4 Gamestop midnight launch!

I got to my local Gamestop at about 9:30pm EST. I came with posters, Doritos, and promo cards to had out. I also brought out my prop Covenant Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol and let people hold them and try them out. Lots of fun!

We had a good amount of people show up. I don’t know the final count and unfortunately I was inside most of the time, so I only got one outside shot. (Also funny thing, why do I always forget to take pics of myself at these things…LOL)

Anyway, I handed out some Doritos and gave some away for answering Halo trivia questions.

I got to play some of the campaign there while waiting for Midnight to hit. I have to say the graphics are off the freakin’ chart!!! 343 didn’t just hit it out of the park, they blew it out of the atmosphere! This is SO awesome. I immediately drew a comparison to how I felt the first time I played Halo 3 on the 360. The graphics then compared to the old XBOX just blew my mind. My mind was once again BLOWN! Somehow 343 managed to really push the limits of what the graphics engine could do on the XBOX360 and it shows!

Be prepared for something MORE than awesome when you play.

Without further ado, here are the pics (sorry for the eyeflash…)

To say the night was a success is an understatement. I think I made some new LOCAL friends tonight… Thanks all for coming out! I had a blast. Now it’s time for me to have a blast of a different kind…Halo 4 Campaign!!!
