Doesn't matter.
Code X is given to account A, if code X is suddenly redeemed on account B MS has all the evidence they need.

Well you obviously stopped trying to join matches after the first week.

Even CoD doesn't do that anymore though.
I don't think they rely on public info to see who uses what code and on what console. Preview program consoles are flagged. If I popped my halo reach beta disc in a non-preview Xbox 360 it would disable live access for that console.

They don't mention the receiver's penalty so I guess it would only be the givers who receive
disciplinary actions.
If anyone else is in this situation I'll glad take it!

I'm aware. But you should at least attempt to make it harder for them.

2 player max split screen in in the final?!
Is this for real? That sucks. It has been a staple of the series since Halo CE to be able to play 4 player split. Very disappointed if true.

You do realize that VMC reads these forums as well do you?
Edit: They'll probably have an automated system ready that can check, I could write such a query in no time it must be a piece of cake for MS to do that.
I don't think it would make it any harder for them. I don't think they trawl through forums and eBay to find people abusing the preview program. I assume they would have a much easier way of telling.

hold on...hold on a fucking minute.
Are they giving early access to only Dashboard testers, NOT the people who bought MCC?
Someone tell me otherwise please..

Think of it as medium scale testing to ensure that the proper release goes smoothly.

Ground pound looks super hard to execute.

Xbox reps are on gaf and are probably active because the beta is on. If they see soneone discussing the giveaway of codes they would probably do something.

I try not to get too angry about videogame shit, but HOLY FUCK.
"Hey sorry we fucked you guys over for the past 5 weeks, and our dicks are still technically inside your ass...but....we gotta take care of these other guys first"
Unbelievable.

I just tried it and failed miserably.
Would you prefer that on the 29th when the Beta launches proper that it's not working well? Even though I'm not playing H5G at the moment I'd rather they test it out in the wild now than risk the first couple days be a clusterfuck.
Yup, it's a complete joke.

EVOLUTION. CHANGE. HALO 5
You're just not on the same level. 343 are the masters of fps and have innovated the fps genre ONCE AGAIN by adding never before seen features such as sprint. These features will REINVIGORATE the Halo franchise. Get on the same level has Halo 5, bro.

how do u ground pound?
Better than launching on Dec 29th and be total clusterfuck. It's called preview program for a reason.
What is it that you dont like?
The preview program is to test OS updates, not to get access to a beta 10 days early that people paid money to access.

Played 3 games. Loving it. The movement already feels better than COD AW, but not as smooth and fast as Titanfall. The Spartans have a good weight to them, and the thurster pack doesn't feel as clunky as the exo suit does on COD. Hit registration is great. Also, best pistol since H1.

343i had marginal to do with the MCC. They launched Halo 4 extremely well. They've had A LOT of time to gear up for this beta. To not give the people who bought their broken-ass game, just a little crumb, like early access, TEN DAYS, to the Beta, is insult to injury.
It's laughable. I'm sure they already had this promotion or whatever you want to call it in place, but I'd have to imagine with how AWFUL MCC has been/still is for some, they would've changed their plans and tried to gain some will back by saying "Hey, we fucked up on the MCC, as a small token of our appreciation for sticking with us, we're giving you early access to the beta. This is just the first step towards gaining back your trust."
