“Joust is so much better in 3D.” –TiberiusAudley
“I’m trying but she won’t stop, drop and roll!” –thy ReaperMC
“Hold X to ride Moa. Wait, what?” –REJECTEDxORANGE
“The new Halo Waypoint series begins: My Little Moa!” –Xenoblade013
“…And the Moa you rode in on.” –ThreeSixXero
“Little Danny took “kill it with fire” to a whole new level.” –MrLedDeath
“Shoot! I’m all out of quarters!” –ChubbyCats95
“The Halo: Reach rendition of Ghost Rider was less impressive than the critics had hoped.” –Vader Zim7891
“The UNSC was forced to stop naming their vehicles after animals due to this incident.” –MASTERPETE117

Pre-order exclusives begin to show up
wwm0nkey noticed a pre-order exclusive at EB Games in Canada – if you get your copy of Halo 4 from them, you get the Artic Weapon skin for your BR and the HazOP Forest Armor skin for your Spartan. (Whether you WANT them is another story.) Update: Play.com (UK) also has an exclusive – the DeadEye Helmet skin (thanks, Dani). Update 2: Best Buy is offering Raptor Armor Skin (thanks, Greenskull, via Mixmasterchief). We’ll likely stop here, and do a summary if more show up. Update 3: Dammit – Amazon’s is up now too – it’s CIO armor (thanks, EdibleExplosives) – though I’m seeing an inverted image, myself (localized here in case they fix it). NOW I’m done.(Louis Wu 14:25:22 UTC)
