Subject: Bungie, You're gonna have to realise something.

All the people who are willing to preorder ODST for the Sgt Johnson Code arent all in the US. Europe and beyond contain a fair amount of Halo fans too (Major understatement). So why havet you signed any deals to have the pre-order code in worldwide shops then? It was the same with Halo Wars, we couldnt get the Flame Hog, we almost always get the short end of the stick, I know any European Halo fan would want to have a special pre-order bonus just as much as any American fan. Youre making a huge loss, if you leave out other Continents with a bonus, a lot less people will preorder it, you could get your numbers way up, it would be a verry intelligent and sensible choice to have this bonus going to Europe and other places.

Please do something about it.

It's not Bungie who makes the prices, where you can pre-order and all that -blam!-, It's Microsoft. If you want Sgt. Johnson bonus, complain to Microsoft.

There are GameStops and EBGames in Europe right? Well, at least here in Germany we have some.

I think you can preorder there and get Johnson.

Hello! I'm a male!

Oh cry me a river. I pre-order it b4 they even announced the Johnson Code at the store that i pre-ordered it from so i won't be getting it either. I don't care though i woulda never played as Johnson anyways. I mean every time we see Johnson in all the other halo games he's in regular marine armor ..... can't imagine his stupid head and neck put onto a set of ODST armor ...... it just looks stupid =/

If you pre-ordered it from a gamestop or best buy I'm pretty sure you'll still get Johnson.

-Albert Einstein

well first off, its not up to bungie. Complain to microsoft if you have a problem.

Second, its a single character. If you think you can't live without Sgt. Johnson and you're so jealous that other people in the world can have Johnson, you shouldn't buy the game anyway because you have greater problems to worry about.

It's not bungie's decision because if it was, they'd give us the whole damn game for free. Suck it up, life isn't fair.

Uh, even I make complaints about pricing sometimes and realise that Bungie wouldn't release a game/dlc for free. They still need to cover costs, and their employees aren't going to work for free.

Why are so many people whining because of not getting the fire warthog?
It was no problem here in Austria (not Australia) , you got it with simple preordering!

What are you talking about? He isn't just a "single character." This is Sgt Johnson that we're talking about here! Being able to play as him is obviously a good enough reason to by the game by itself! Open your eyes.

Don't give the Johnson he is from America not anywhere else across the globe i mean why else would he be smoking a cigar that big. (no offense intended on any countries.)

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

New Zealand gets Johnson, so I would think everyone else would too... See.
