UK still might have a chance of getting one retailer at least that does the bonus just wait.

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

Hm.... you know something?

This reminds me of a few British people who bragged to me about how they got Halo Wars and the Mythic maps first, and showed teasing pictures and made fun.


I should find those users, send them a message and brag a little about this.

*laughs*

Its like Bungie announces that the UK can unlock a Brute to play as, and America can't.


*laughs harder*

Your not buying ODST because Johnson isn't available? What's the point of that? Johnson is just a character skin, really. It's a first person game. You never see yourself as Johnson! I could run around in a chicken suit and not know the difference!

Yes.
The difficulties and limitations involved with worldwide distribution are a personal attack on you and your people.
Exactly!

Quit being so quick to take offense, especially over a character skin that is worth nothing, that you can't even SEE from a first person perspective.

I'd be pissed too were I in you position. I'd probably still buy the game, but I wouldn't be happy about it.

I think only the English speaking countries can pre-order the Johnson bonus. Hmmm I thought Bungie was going for world-domination, a little bit of fail if you ask me.

Anyway I am going to buy game, no matter what :-)

edit: of -> if
uk spoke english before usa/canada were even formed, so why dosnt england get it?

  • 06.13.2009 2:44 PM PDT

I kinda enjoy this, and do you know why?

Well, it was a time when a new game called "Halo Wars" was about to be released....with a little "perk'. This "perk" was a chance to play the Mythic Map Pack early, and guess who got it first. Don't know? Here's a hint....it wasn't the USA. All you Brits rubbed it in our face relentlessly, and now the tables just got turned =)

uk tvs use pal which use say 125 lines on the tv, usa uses say 175 lines (i know thats wrong) so game disks have to be differant, so u cant just by an america styled game.

Even though the US only gets Johnson you might consider looking on Ebay after the release for Johnson tokens. Or make friends on xbox live in the US :)

Sure Johnson's tough and everything, but do you really want some guy sitting there screaming "Here they come" "Hit it, Marines-go, go, go! The Corps ain't payin' us by the hour!" or "Get up, SO I CAN KILL YOU AGAIN!"? I think it would get REALLY annoying.

  • 06.13.2009 3:00 PM PDT

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

I recommend something extremely annoying but it can get the job done.

*Keep in mind that I do not know if you could take an American code and use it on a UK Xbox*

You make a silver account on the American Xbox Website
Download that profile to your xbox
(The reason you did this is so now you have access to the American Marketplace)
When the game comes out, get an American Johnson (lol) code.
Download the code on the Silver account.
Log in to your UK profile and you should have Johnson there.

  • 06.13.2009 3:03 PM PDT

Hmm, so the brits are hating on Americans because they can't play an American in the game?


So, wait...

  • 06.13.2009 3:19 PM PDT

You know, when you guys find out that you CAN get Johnson, I think that its going to be quite embarrassing for all of you. You've turned this into a flame war that isn't about Johnson, its just stereotyping Americans. I realize that there are lots of us that will brag IF you don't get it-and you will!-but then everywhere there are people like that and its not an excuse to hate us.

i thought it didnt work if you did that.

Fine. Don't buy the game because you can't get a skin for multiplayer. You make it sound like the most horrendous thing that's ever happened to you when it really is no big deal. I'll be preordering the game, so I will be able to play as Johnson should I choose to, but chances are I won't. I don't see what the big deal is about him honestly. As long as I get to play the damned game.

because some people like to collect all the things you can get but because it USA gets it and Britain cant (at the moment- as we know) some people are bound to be mad.
