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.


You're making waaay too much of a fuss over something this simple. Why the hell should anyone get mad over this? Maybe dissapointed. It's a skin in a game that will be around probably less than 4 years. 20 years from now you won't care or probably even remember the fact that Americans got a skin in a game and you didn't. This holds true to all collector's edition games. In a few years it won't really matter, so why waste money on it? As long as you get to play the damn game.

No doubt there will be Americans who'll shove it in your face that they got him and you didn't, but that's just the nature of people. Were the situation reversed you Brits would do the same to us.

Bringing you lame jokes, social awkwardness and the occasional good idea since 2008

I can understand getting a little unhappy about it, but we shouldn't have to call the WAAAAAAAAHHHmbulance because you won't buy a game just because you can't have a skin you can't even see.

I'm British and i'm pretty disappointed that it seems like (but isn't definite) we won't be getting Johnson, but it's not the end of the world. I'll just enjoy the game for what it is, and not the appearance that others see of me in the game, or even the hands I see from the first person perspective. Because that isn't what'll be the border fron making the game great to it being crap.

Agreed

No you guys will still get it if you pre-order it, there's no rule that separates US halo players and UK halo players

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

You're pretty silly to say that, OP. It's only a multiplayer skin, answer me this:
What do you gain?

You choose not to buy a game because you can't play as a certain character? We don't play as John in this game but nobody has said they're not buying it because of that now, have they?

Look on the bright side, whilst they're cooped up in Firefight, you get to show off you shiny new Recon armour. That do it?

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Johnson is cool and all...

but it isn't necessary to have some black guy in a game in order for you to enjoy it, seeing as how the game isn't even about him.

If it was Halo 3: Sgt. Johnson's Quest for Cigars, then it'd be a different story.

Protip:
Use eBay.

Another alternative:
Buy US Console.

My general point being, if you are so concerned, you could make this work.

I wish I was still legendary.

Why does it matter? Hey, in NZ we got exclusives America didn't have for H3 (particularly, a H3 hoodie and/or H3 cap depending on which shop), so maybe you'll get similar stuff.

And is there any proof you won't get them other then that they're not listed on the update? Check EB games if you have them, or gamestop.

I'm kinda concerned about this as well. I'd like to have the fullest experience of ODST.

I'll be waiting for more information on the UK-deals for Johnson...meaning I won't be preordering until I have more information. If there is nothing to be done about a UK-Johnson, Imma gonna have to order from Amazon.

Just wait, they have not confirmed it yet.

If it isnt confirmed in the UK, then l doubt it has been confirmed in lreland. A bummer really, l would be willing to pay another 15 or 20 euro fist for Johnson. l MUST believe.

You're not buying a game simply because you can't have some ugly black dude that's an ongoing joke in the Haloverse as a playable character?
Wow. Someone call the Waaaaaambulance. This guy needs immediate treatment for his severe case of Type 1 Cryabetes.

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 :)


I heard sometimes Gamespot gives out extra codes to people who preorder. If so, I'm gonna try and fleece one of someone in a group I'm in.

Unless of course we can get Johnson.
