Many gamers are rejoicing this week with the arrival of one of the most anticipated games of the year -- Halo Four. Jeff Goldblatt attended the release and files this report.

Midnight -- a time most people are already in bed, but not if you're waiting for the release of Halo Four.
(Stand up) "You can find this scene at locations across the country, hundreds awaiting the release of Halo Four"
People filled the parking lot and sidewalk to get their hands on the game. GameStop provided a DJ, and many patrons brought their own forms of entertainment to keep them busy during the wait. One dedicated individual arrived ten hours early to be the first in line to receive the first copy of the game.
SB: (Sean Spivey) "I got here at two, been waiting for ten hours, go home and beat that game in one day, I'm so excited."
Even though these people in line will be the first to receive a copy of the game, the length of the line discouraged several.
SB: (Krista Pruske) "hoping the line goes by really quick, heard graphics phenomenal, really excited to play, nice step up from Reach."
Many have had versions of the game going back eleven years -- when it first came out.
SB: (Carson Belew) "I've been a huge fan of the franchise since halo 1"
SB: (Jonathon Esquivel) "been waiting for about three hours, we grew up playing halo, cool experience getting halo four, this is our childhood, grow up with master chief, wouldn't want this experience with anyone else but my friends."
Obviously, it takes a dedicated gamer to wait in line for hours and hours. But those who were at GameStop early Tuesday morning will tell you, the wait was worth it. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jeff Goldblatt.
