    I remember the launch at GameStop. At one point a car slowly rolled by and a passenger yelled “Call of Duty’s better!!” And then later on it happened again and some random dude chucked his large soda at the car and it splattered right near the mirror and part of it went in the guys car and he took off while we all erupted in laughter.
    One guy was grilling hotdogs for everyone while others were playing soccer in a nearby parking lot. Looking back it really was surreal.

    Aussie here, i remember all my best mates stayed over that night and we went to the midnight launch, our parents collectively allowed us to do so even though we had school the next day (we didnt have to go) we stayed up until 3pm the next day, clocked the game on legendary 4 player coop on this little tv screen.
    I miss them days. I dont talk to two of them any more but that memory will forever be solidified in my mind...
    Just a group of young lads who were brought together by this amazing game and moment in time.

      Hate on me for being 12 and not playing the halo games when they came out but later but halo 5 is only good for war zone and halo 4 is only good for multiplayer in my opinion. I play fortnite with my friends and I’m not a 9 year old that is stupid I play others games while I wait until this December for the new halo.
