I do not see a point here. Halo 4's Limited Edition costs the same as Reach's one. Let us compare both edition:
Halo: Reach - Limited Edition:
- ONI-designed Box [Physical object]
- Halsey's Diary [Physical object]
- in-game armor [digital]
Halo 4 - Limited Edition:
- Steelbook + ONI-designed Box
- UNSC Infinity Briefing case [physical object/ comparable with Halsey's Journal]
- 3 mappacks [digital object/ one mappack will cost about 800MSP]
- a 90minutes film or directors cut of Forward Unto Dawn +Making Of, Special documentary [digital]
- in game armor [digital]
- in-game skin for Assault rifle [digital]
In physical stuff Halo 4's Limited edition has the same content as Halo: Reach limited edition. In Digital content Halo 4's has a lot more. The price difference of 5pounds is justified in my eyes. And if you like Halsey Journal, you will definitely be interested in the UNSC Infinity briefing case.

Personally, Gears 3 LE is way better than this. See here:
at least it has more physical stuff. and it was cheaper.
even if you count the Season Pass (2400MSP) as an extra cost, I still think it's cheaper than Halo 4 LE is at the moment (~65GBP).

hm, so do I pay more at launch to get dlc packs paid and out of the way or not, I do like the look of that steelbook.
Not a fan of being able to unlock stuff early because you paid for the LE though, but I guess that now can't be avoided this gen.

Everything you listed there is true BUT the price difference is not 5 pounds, especially if you count the shipping costs (~4-6GBP).
I paid:
for my Reach CE. It was from Base.com which deducts VAT for international customers so it was 7-8pounds cheaper. But even if you take the regular price that Reach had (50-55GBP depending on the store), it's still cheaper than this.
65 pounds is too much for me. I'll get it MAYBE if I find it somewhere cheaper...
I'm not saying Halo 4 LE isn't good, I'm just saying that for me, personally, it doesn't justify that price tag.

Would have been cool if Halo 4 had no LE, Halo 5 had one $10 bonus, and Halo 6 finished off with a big LE package.
Seems a bit pricey, MW3 LE included $60 worth of DLC for the same price as this I believe, compared to $30 here. Should have included a full season pass, unless 3 packs is all the content they're doing till H5.
Also Halo DLC has been poorly implemented this gen, I hope 343 will have a better system in place. Nice case though.

The RRP for Halo: Reach's Limited Edition was 60Pounds. Halo 4's Limited Edition will definitely cheaper till release, too.Everything you listed there is true BUT the price difference is not 5 pounds, especially if you count the shipping costs (~4-6GBP).

Halo: Combat Plagerised.
Not sure if I want to pay so much more for a bunch of digital content, the map packs are kind of swaying me, but money is short and with so many other games coming out I would rather just put that money towards one of them than commit to map packs which may not be what I want for a game which I know too little about.
Something along the lines of the Halsey journal would have swayed me, I just don't know if the map packs add that same value, might have to make my mind up after E3. Im still hoping for some kind of price war, if I can get the standard edition for significantly cheaper than the LE I think I will just go down that route though.
Its £16.95 for 2100 MS points which will allow me to get the 3 map packs anyway with my remaining ms points (assuming they will be the normal 800 ms points each?), in which case I wont want to pay for LE unless I cant get the standard edition for cheaper than like £40, im sure it will go down further than a bit further than that though (hopefully).
Yep, I hope the UNSC Infinity Briefing case fills that void.
The hell are you talking about? You're brittish. stop buying tons of tea and biscuits daily and you'll have money for whatever you want

Im going to probably have to buy another xbox, subscribe to xbox live, and pick up some of the other games coming out, thats going to be expensive and thats just thinking about monetary spending towards video games! Im considering getting my own place nearer work so thats going to have a HUGE cost to it, even if I flatshare in like student accomodation lol.
Spending so much money on video games when theres tea and biscuits to buy just feels foolish.
, im already gutted about sending more money towards Microsoft in reward for making broken hardware. I am getting more and more tempted to just pick up a PS3, but Halo.

Sounds fine, 9 Multiplayer maps.
Reach has only had 11 and 6 of them are part of the "expansion" that came with CE:A, its a safe bet that we may get something similar with H2A and/or more map packs at a later date.

I would rather H2A just had its own multiplayer (if it did happen), im not honestly sure why anyone would be so excited to simply play the campaign with better graphics. That said im just nitpicking, im also expecting some kind of side game to come between Halo 4 and 5 which will throw us a bunch of maps. I am also tempted to say 3 maps per pack is fine, depending on the quantity and quality of the maps which ship with the game.

Broken MP would need patching, Fragment player base even more.
Im about as big a Halo 2 fan as they come but if Halo 4 plays solid id rather they just add the H2 classics into Halo 4.
Halo 2campaign with Co-op would do me fine
It's bad. We don't know the dates they plan on releasing them and the maps could be for playlist a person won't even play. They could be BTB maps or maps suited for FFA, etc. Then there's the chance people won't even buy the packs cause they're likely going to be paying 800 MSP per pack(if they don't buy the LE) and they won't even know if the maps are good. So then you've got these packs of maps that you won't even be playing just like Reach.

It's an ongoing issue with me and my mates that myself and one other guy are the only people who buy DLC. Frickin' sucks, because after the dedicated playlists go away we never see those maps again.

if I was a betting man, 9 maps = 3 maps for 3 game modes overall.
After thinking about it i'll go regular, a lot cheaper and can buy the maps in the future if they turn out worthwhile.

It'd be great, but is that the impression you got from it?
