Halo 4 Limited Edition detailed

Halo 4 is a pretty major release. Of course it will come as part of an optional "Limited Edition."

There's a whole mess of stuff in there, including "War Games Map Pack Access," which is access to three future map packs, each containing three multiplayer maps, as they're released in the future. It also includes six semi-exclusive multiplayer Specializations, which will be exclusive to Limited Edition buyers at first, and gradually released to the unwashed casual Halo fans in the future.

Other goodies include an in-game armour and weapon skin, an emblem, and an Xbox Live Avatar prop. It also includes a special 90-minute edition of the Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn video series, complete with the obligatory making-of featurette, and a "UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet" which includes "a blueprint of the massive ship itself, and insight into what it means to be one of humanity's finest warriors: the Spartan-IVs."

Oh, also, there's a sexy box. That alone is worth the $99.99, right?
