Commander Agryna knows firsthand the difference a Spartan can make—a difference never more important than now. Humanity's forces are scattered. Desperate resistance efforts have continued to fall short on multiple fronts, from Cortana's relentless martial law to the expanding power and ambition of Atriox and the Banished.

Now let's just hope they stick to that date. Truth be told, I don't see any reason why we will see another delay. December is just around the corner so I think the team is more than assured it will launch on time.

-VIDEOGAME RELEASE ON TIME NINJA APPROVED-
The tech preview was SO GOOD! Can't wait to check out the next one that'll have more than 2 hours of actual PvP lol but also BTB!!
since i cant seem to find a series X maybe this edition will be available. limited edition when the console is already limited?
Wow it didn't take long for them to confirm that launch date lol too bad it was leaked but at least it's official now!
I think we can safely say that the rumors about development of the campaign being in rough shape are true. If they were in good shape, they would hit the late November window, where they have few big games to compete with, and they could get the Black Friday sales.
I thought online was going to be free-to-play? Did I miss something?
