Digital download, the only way I use for all games.
Main reason: I have 2 XONE, and this is the only way to get 1 copy to play on both.
Secondary reason: I can preload the game. Already has the 50GB game downloaded, just waiting for the release time.

The Spantan Company is now active and operational. Join now to get your free REQ pack.
Mine has "Soldier Dogface" (helmet?), a common random weapon, and a rare random weapon.

fitting place as any.. where did yall pick up the game... xbox store..amazon...in store purchase? I'm still debating between pre-ordering the Limited Edition from the Microsoft Store in order to get the $10 gift card, going with the digital deluxe edition download, or a basic version of the game (digital or hard copy). I've pretty much dismissed the Limited Collector's Edition and the Console Bundle; though, I may revisit the idea of getting the Halo Console or the Elite Console come Black Friday or Cyber Monday if I wish to upgrade my console to one with 1TB of memory. My Pros and Cons of the Limited Edition pretty much speak on my perspective for all options: Pros - A Spartan-themed Steelbook -- I've always liked getting the collector editions for the added durability, protection, and look of the SteelBooks. Special packaging and disk art -- I don't greatly care about this, but the disk art does provide visual acknowledgement of the edition. Guardian model by Metal Earth -- I guess it's kind of neat; I've never really been a collector of models or figurines because I don't display such things. Spartan Locke's Classified Orders -- I like this for the inside information that helps expand my understanding of what's going on in the Halo universe; another reason I've gotten the collector editions in the past. Dossiers on Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris -- Same reason as the classified orders; though, not as important in my opinion. An actual physical disk -- I like it because it allows me to maintain some re-sale capability in the future; if I were to ever consider selling all my Halo content having a physical disk would be ideal. The Animated Series of the Fall of Reach -- While I've read most of the novels, a few of the comics, listened to most audio offerings, and seen all videos which relate to the universe I still enjoy keeping up with whatever media is put out there. Warzone REQ Bundle -- Having some additional REQ packs available can only help improve the overall experience. MICROSOFT STORE PRE-ORDER SPECIAL: Recon Assault Rifle with Energy Bayonet -- Just a welcomed pre-order addition; nothing special by any means. MICROSOFT STORE PRE-ORDER SPECIAL: Lagrange Assault Rifle Weapon Skin -- Another welcomed addition, but even less special than the previous one. Cons - I don't really require all the extras for the cost -- I don't "need" any of the things I listed above; they're just nice to have. The high costs and extra costs -- $100 is a lot of money for a game and despite a $10 gift card being included I'm nevertheless spending $100; that $10 is still focused toward a specific-type of spending.

Warzone REQ Bundle may make your Warzone life significantly easier, if you are into that. It gives you 14 premium REQ packs spread over 7 weeks. You are basically paying $2 per pack, which is a good deal compared to $3 per gold pack, if you plan to buy packs with real money.
I was determined to not get hyped into microtransactions, but changed my mind at the last second. Less about the packs, more about feeling generous of helping 343i on 1) their effort of making maps free, and 2) Halo World Championship prize pool.
For more info on REQ (which is fairly complicated), read my previous post:

Being able to download the mega patch doesnt out weigh having the actual game disk in my hand haha.
40gb download will only take about 15 minutes

I'm in the clan! Still installing... at 84%... started over 4 hours ago... soon... I found success by taking my Xbox offline when beginning the game install; it appeared to go faster than what others where saying it would take. My took somewhere between 45 - 75 minutes to install, but then I had to turn the online back on in order to install the patch; that took approximately an hour by itself which I spent watching two episodes of The Fall of Reach the animated series.

Bros, I've joined the clan. I haven't played Halo seriously since H3 where I had a 50 in Team Slayer and MLG...but I'm no where near as good now. I played a bit over the weekend and got placed in Platinum 4 for Team Slayer, but I was going in solo which has its drawbacks.
I dabbled in Warzone Assault as well and it seems incredibly easy to win if your entire team equips speed boost on respawn and just overwhelms the enemy with sheer numbers (similar to Tac inserting on Domination in CoD).

Welcome Clearshot
While I never reached 50 in Halo 3 (I maintained a solid 43 in multiple playlists) I too can say that I'm not as good as I use to be (Halo 2 was where I was probably at my best); however, in Halo 5 I've been able to reach Onyx in SWAT & FFA, Diamond in Team Arena, Platinum in Slayer, and currently working on Breakout.

For Arena I am not in the same league as you guys, most likely (haven't played Arena yet since beta) will roam around between Bronze to Gold. So I am just gonna do Arena solo.
Would love to party on Warzone hough. If there are enough interest, maybe we can make a date out of it, say Warzone Sunday?

Warzone Sundays sound good to me. Feel free to send me a friend request whenever.
Edit: We had a decent party of 7 in Warzone last night for a few hours. We didn't lose a game for the entire duration I was in the party, and I don't recall any of them being close for more than the first few minutes.
