    that, no install, no flame helmet. You forgot the elite armor, lol. 
    Probably play campaign first, give the first day or two servers time to settle. Play some campaign/firefight with friends.

    Straight to the campaign. Maybe I can even finish it in one sitting- almost did that for Halo 3. Matchmaking with voice chat or even just MP with friends will have to wait until the campaign is finished. Don´t want to be spoiled about anything.
     
    I still like the little "anti-Halo-fanboys" that pop up every once in a while.. and here I thought they had moved on to hating CoD because its popular. I wonder what the next thing to hate is going to be.. hmm maybe Gears or something, because thats getting "milked" to "death", right?! No, just kidding, these trolls probably hate every game they come across.

    3. Play 4 player Legendary co-op for the next however-many hours.

    4. Play multiplayer for the next year or three.

    I love how most of the people in this thread have no clue what the topic is asking. It's the first thing you'll do, not the first 10 things you'll do. Silly people, not knowing how to read. 
     
    When I get it, I'll probably play multiplayer first.

    Pretty much like a did for Halo 3 and all big multiplayer FPSs: play the campaign for a little bit then dive into multiplayer until the sun falls and rises again.

    I think Halo players were already playing Halo, not MW2, that's why we're called Halo players.

    For me it would be: 
    1. Get home from midnight release 
    2. Run into the room jumping on the bed 
    3. unwrap the game as fast as possible 
    4. put in the game, go back to dashboard, and install 
    5. look at all the goodies i got from the limited edition ( Probably sulk cause not enough money for the holy shit edition with the action figures, but will still be happy that I got the limited) 
    6. once install is done start downloading all of the armor and all that noise while reading the cool book 
    7. Press a to play the game 
    8. Get my mind blown by the campaign

    I would play the campaign first, if it's not as good as the first Halo, then I'll return it. However, if it does offer the best campaign since CE, then I'll waste hours of my life on it.

    Same here, Halo 3 ODST was almost as good as CE (Would've been just as good, if not, better if it was longer), Halo Reach might be better. It could be the best Halo since CE, or it will end up as one of 2010's biggest disappointments. I just hope the single-player is at least longer than 6 hours.

    Immediately start the instal and then play the campaing on heroic. after that i will probably play some of multiplayer and firefight with friends and then do the campaing on legendary. But why has the release date have to be tuesday...why cannot be thu or fri so it would be ready for the weekend.

    Quite simple for me. I'll do my downloads for Recon and my Elite Armor then I'm gonna start up the Epic forge and begin the recreation of every Legend of Zelda map/Temple that I can possibly muster.

    Step 1, Put it in my lovely New Xbox 360, 
    Step 2, Close tray, get wet (too excited) when the Bungie logo appears, 
    Step 3, Make Spartan, change controls (cos I R pr0) 
    Step 4, Read challenges,
    Step 5, Convince friends to complete the daily challenges, we have all week for the other. 
     
    I will upload to my HDD probably before the second time I play, I don't think I could be waiting to play when I know all my friends will be in the menus.

    First I'll look at all the stuff it came with for a bit, then I'll have to go off to University (it'll be coming by courier in the morning), then when I get home I'll play the single player on Heroic, should be able to get that out on the day. I'm pretty sure I can get away from Uni just after lunch on a Tuesday....then multiplayer at night :)
