I thought I read somewhere that regular had 48 hr code while the other two versions had a month. Is it just 48 hr for all 3 editions?

Mine had zilcho. Credit card expired and couldn't go back to the store to get a 12 month card.

Ended up going through roughly 50 xbox cases before miraculously finding a 48 hour gold card in Call of Duty: World at War of all places.

At the risk of sounding like an r tard, how does one back out of Firefight matchmaking after a match is over?

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

I swear I've killed 50 enemies with a supercombine explosion and yet no achievement.

What gives?

 

[bloodforge]

Anybody else having trouble downlaoding the Helmet Bonus content that came with the game? Keeps telling me it can't be downloaded at this time.

Edit: Limited Edition bonus won't download either.

 

[MMaRsu]

Picking this up in 40 minutes

ZOMG!!!!!!

Just woke up too, tired as fuck but whatever :lol

 

[neoism]

Also WTF with someone other than Evangeline Lily in your avatar?

Yep none of mine will download either.

 

[subrock]

I know I'm among the last to get it but here goes my line waiting liveblog:

Suprising amount of people here. I've been to this same store for all except CE and this definitely feels like the most people. Some girls here, and an older demographic than I would have imagined. All around me it smells like farts. 20 mins to go!

 

[Papercuts]

Alright cool. I love FREE stuff.

Is it a premium theme?

 

[MMaRsu]

tay swift mang :smug

Neo i'm about to pick this bitch up

 

[Sibylus]

Me too.

Likewise

Oh well, launch day still ain't bad, and I've got ketchup chips

 

[Deleted member 22576]

There's a good 150ish people over here. I'm towards the back, but not really sweating it.
15 minutes!

 

[VegaShinra]

The game launches on the West Coast very shortly and according to Bungie.net nearly 250,000 players are currently online and in the last 24hrs nearly 750,000 have been played.

 

[Ecotic]

Wow, they completely changed the tone of the series. It's incredible. No more over-the-top cartoony dialogue from marines, the graphics are less bright and more real and subdued. I honestly feel like I'm on a believable alien world. Not so much implausible science fiction, but real possible "I feel like I could be there" fiction. This is an amazing experience.

 

[neoism]

Darn it, I might have to stop reading GAF. It will take too long to read that many posts when I could be playing Reach!

Maybe if everyone only did no more then 7 words per post...

:lol :lol yeah it sucks I read every post After I start Reach I'm sure will be in the OT2 by at least Friday.....

 

[Pudding Tame]

Just had my first Hunter encounter, HOLY CRAP DID THEY HAND MY ASS ON PLATTER!!!!!

 

[Grady Durden]

So I bring my legendary edition home and drool over it, then start up a game. Slayer DMRs on The Cage. Just as I go on a sniper spree my internet goes out. Signed off of Xbox live. Thanks a lot Time Warner cable.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Dumb question. Why is arena not available yet?

 

[fernoca]

The game is so pretty! :O!!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dumb question. Why is arena not available yet?

Bungie said it's not going to go live until 2:00pm EDT Tuesday to prevent an earlier timezone on getting a headstart on a later timezone in the rankings.

 

[big ander]

NYC event was amazing, this is what happens when you have halo+open bar. Plus, frankie made a boy a promise...

Glorious.

 

[WickedLaharl]

so many in this thread that ordered from amazon got their copy shipped by UPS. why, oh why, did mine have to be shipped by fedex? the ups dude would have been here between 9-10am. now i must deal with the uncertainty of when the fedex duder will show.

 

[Trasher]

First black guy is at the base in the opening cinematic.

First black guy is actually Emile. :lol

Probably a server overload or something considering a lot of people will be redeeming a lot of codes in the next few hours. It's probably still in your download history (which can be accessed either through your console or the MP website). If it's still in your download history, you should try downloading it again later.

 

[neoism]

Why are your speakers upside down?

because I'm crazy

 

[Trasher]

It let me download the Recon helmet, but it says my download for the Elite armor has already been entered.

Also, I asked earlier, but no response. Any word on where this 2 month Live code is in the console edition? I don't think I got one.

 

[Ecotic]

Oh God how I've MISSED the plasma pistol!! For the first time since Halo: CE I'm using them as a primary weapon.

 

[big ander]

First black guy is actually Emile. :lol

You didn't pick up on it?

I'd trade you my UPS duder for FedEx duder anyday. UPS can suck my nuts hard. I never have had a good experience with them. I either get stuff late, get it damaged, or both from UPS, but with FedEx that has yet to be the case and I tend to get my stuff early when it goes through them.

Gah, ordered my Reach from Argos weeks ago for £29. They finally shipped it Friday evening after i emailed them to find out when it would be shipping.

Never turned up yesterday. I just got a call from Argos, as a reply to my email of last week, and was told that someone needs to be in to sign for it.

Im at work all day. So im now not going to get the game till i go to the sorting office tomorrow or Thursday morning. Not happy

 

[Trasher]

You didn't pick up on it?

RvB reference? No, I didn't. But Frankie was talking about Reach, and that's what I was referring to as well. >_>

 

[Darkflight]

PP + Pistol were my go to weapons in ODST, especially in Firefight, thing is essential.

 

[Slightly Live]

Decided to go with Heroic and just finished the Campaign. What a game.

 

[Devin Olsen]

Midnight Launch was a complete success!

The EBGames line and the Best Buy line was MASSIVE... We rolled up some small mom & pop store an hour before midnight and were fourth in line.

We ended up with the game five minutes before midnight, so we drove two minutes down the road past all the people lined up at Best Buy and EB :lol

Set up and ready to go!

 

[snack]

Invasion Theme is now free.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wow, just finished level 1, the tone is amazing and the Elites are finally back to true form.

 

[Darkflight]

Invasion Theme is now free.

Cool.

 

[zlatko]

Invasion Theme is now free.

And it's actually awesome.

 

[Trasher]

*Code Update*

So apparently my Elite armor is already downloaded even though all I ever did was download the Recon helmet. Maybe the codes were tied together somehow, or maybe it said the code was already used, but it did actually download the Officer armor without notifying me.

 

[S1kkZ]

amazon uk still hasnt shipped my legendary edition...

 

[see5harp]

PP + Pistol were my go to weapons in ODST, especially in Firefight, thing is essential.

Hell yea. Especially those levels with the Guardians. Plasma Pistol were straight beast against the Brutes.

 

[Pug]

I loved the ending, suitably apt and probably the best of any Halo game.

It's a glitch. I'm sure they will fix it soon.

 

[neoism]

RIP Bumper Jumper, you will be missed.

:O waaat

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

WOO omg.

Just played my first multiplayer match in big team and all but one of my teammates quit and... we ended up winning 40-39 with it being 2 versus 8!

 

[Sordid]

My Game.co.uk parcel status hasn't updated since yesterday morning, so jealous of you all :*(

 

[Max]

Invasion theme still isn't free for me.

[neoism]

[Trasher]

Invasion Theme is now free.

That's what it says, but when you click on the download it says it's 240 Microsoft points still... Wtf? :lol

Also, something I did not know about my Reach console that is awesome: when you turn the system on the sound effect of a Spartan's shields charging up is the sound effect.
