hey guys!
yesterday, (September 4th, 2010) was a Halo Reach event that was hosted by Microsoft in Toronto, Ontario.
There was a little advertisement on the xbox360 dashboard.
I of course went in my full costume, I had a TON of fun! The second I stepped out with my costume, on my way there 5 people asked for pictures, high fives and fist bumps!

when I got there, I got escorted to the VIP line, to where there was a laser tag game going on, covenant vs elites! I didn't play because my thigh armour straps broke : ( and couldn't run. But I got to stay in the tents where drill instructors would have you stand at attention, "yell" at you and explain whats going on, you signed up for a Reach console and a waiver for the laser tag, the instructors allowed me to stay in the tent because I didn't play. There, everyone got a t-shirt as a "uniform". The instructors sometimes had people look at me and ask if they were scared because I'm a spartan :p
When I got out, I headed with some friends to another tent where there was a Rubies Masterchief posing for pictures, the chief and I later teamed up and took pictures, I was probably asked for pictures around 100 times lol
inside the tent was 12 stations of Halo Reach Firefight 5 minute rounds, the winner gets a dogtag. Inside were also massive cardboard cut outs of noble team and free keychains!
me and the chief got limited editon halo reach controllers for being in costume, I got a handshake from the organizers and such. I was supposed to get an interview from Inside Xbox, but I missed my chance :(
I also met 3 405th members, one was making a hayabusa helmet.
I didn't take pictures or video myself, but I found some for you guys.

where it showed people in the first video playing video games, were they playing halo reach? but pretty sweet :)
 
At the Vancouver one, we just got the Shirt, Keychain, and Dogtag. You had to be one of the first 200 to get the shirt. Also, Microsoft pulled Reach out at the last second so we only got to play ODST's Firefight. Overall it was a fun day, but sad that I could play Reach early. To get the controller here, you had to have missed the event, then answered Trivia questions correctly to get the controller.

They asked me the trivia question first lol
the question was, "what is carters call sign"
0______0, I got it wrong but I got the controller because of my costume :p
there were definatly way more that 200 shirts at the Toronto event.
 
looks like it was a hell of a party! its awesome they gave you the controlers. i hope they have that kind of stuff when the game comes out where i live!
 
I wanted to go to that event, but I had to work and it was a 5-6 hour drive from where we live. XD

I have YET to go to a convention where Halo is the big thing. :( It looks like you got some really cool stuff too. I would have liked all that stuff. I'm such a Halo nut. XD haha
 
THERE WAS A VANCOUVER ONE!

@%$^

When was it? I'm really irritated I missed it.
Yeah, it was right outside of Waterfront Station on August 28th.

Miky, Carter's call sign is Noble 1 (for Noble Team) and his Spartan Tag is A259. Just so you know.
