I'm not sure if "ship date" is appropriate in this case.

I wonder if we'll be able to get physical media for PC in the US? I can't recall the last decent game that was available on physical media. Makes me sad frankly.

What really makes me sad is how I have to log in to something to play a game offline...

And even with physical media you end up with crap like Borderlands 1 where even though I have a DVD I can't reinstall it because they've taken down the copy protection/authentication servers.

"scheduled departure" then?

I do not know if you have seen this or this is the solution you might be looking for. Anyways, you might like to have a look at this:

Borderlands (2009) retail SecuROM manual release date check 1.0.0

The gameplay looks great, normal Halo stuff but I'm underwhelmed by the graphics quality. Flesh tones seem flat and in general it doesn't appear to be a new level more than just a sequel using the same engine, slightly improved.

Still looking forward to it though.

So yeah, I couldn't help but notice the very dated looking graphics. It made me feel Halo 4 & 5 had better graphics.

As well, I'm a bit confused. This game is supposed to be the 3rd in the Reclaimer series, but the rifle is the old one from Reach and that pistol does not look like the iconic M6D. In fact, it looks like some shitty Springfield modern day pistol lol

I did notice the pistol seemed old school but did not associate that it's supposed to be the M6D. Now that you say it, that is odd as well.

Honestly the graphics look fine. I’m just hoping 343 can finally nail the story/campaign so that it actually feels like Halo. Nothing since Reach actually has felt like Halo.

I want a modern re-make of Marathon.

What I really want is a Green Arrow game using the Batman Arkham engine and style.

"This is the sort of escapism that videogames at their most zen can provide, and in that sense Microsoft Flight Simulator exists on a, well, plane all its own. It isn’t a game in the traditional sense. It’s also not pure simulation, something that hearkens back to the series’ roots going all the way back to the 1980s. By leveraging cutting edge technology across physics, weather simulation, rendering techniques, lighting, AI and drawing vast amounts of real-world data from the cloud – whilst you’re amongst the fluffy stuff high above the surface – it’s something more.

Like flight itself, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a testament to human achievement. It’s spiritual."
