Hi! Well, I've pre-ordered ODST about a week ago now and I was just wondering how you get the Johnson code?
I did pre-order ODST from a shop which supplies johnson (amazon), so I should get johnson.
On amazon it says you get a code for johnson in an e-mail, but I was wondering if you get the code included with the game as well, becuase my dad pre-ordered it, so if the codes not in the game, I wont be able to play as johnson until dad gets home, (Hes a control freak and wont even tell mum the password), which will be annoying because probably after a few levels of campaign, I'll probably immeadiately want to play firefight with johnson! So, does anyone know if you get Johnson as a code with the game as well?

Thanks!

If you're getting your code via e-mail, chances are they're not going to send you a physical copy. I'm pretty sure that the codes that are sent via e-mail are just generated codes that were never put on the actual physical download cards.

I myself pre-ordered from Best Buy just yesterday and they gave me an actual ODST Pre-order game case that comes with the download card inside of it.

WOAH! You got a pre-order game case with download card! Does the pre-order case look like how the real case will look? and does the code on the card work and does it download?
UPDATE: I JUST READ THEY E-MAIL THE CODE A WEEK AFTER THE GAMES RELEASED!!! THEY BETTER E-MAIL ME THE CODE THE DAY IT COMES OUT!!! (It could be for people pre-ordering now perhaps. though, perhaps people who pre-ordered early get it on the day and the others get it when they get more codes perhaps?)
P.S. Congrats Dream053 for getting recon!

The pre-order cases are always different than the actual game cases, so it isn't exact, no, but it's probably close. Anyway, someone posted yesterday about trying to use the download code now, and it not working. Makes sense that it wouldn't download until the game is actually released, but I'm sure it works just fine.

Hmm...Amazon is an online shop, so I cant go to them and ask them to give me the code...
I'll try making a thread on it asking if you can recieve the code with the game or is there any chance you could get e-mailed the code the day its released...

@MrBimo: YAY, UK Budies.
Well anyway, I'm from the UK too, as you can tell from above, yet, I've not recieved a card I can touch...
Perhaps amazon do send a card as well...
I'll need to make a forum on amazon later...

yeh you should get a code m8 you know a card thats feels quite shiny thats what the fireball warthog code feels like and a pic of johnson however i preordered it from gamestation so i should think you get a code card but if not at least you have johnson if you realy want the code card though preorder it from game or gamestation you get it there they just give it you with the game not inside the game case just seperate i hope this helps :)

Yeah, I know what type of card you mean, I didnt get a flaming warthog, but I have got various 24 hour gold cards and the golden lancer code, so yeah, I know what type of card you mean.
Perhaps I can just send an e-mail to amazon to say if you can just send me a johnson card now instead...
I might not bother really, johnson isnt that much of a deal, but I mind getting it if I'm preordering it... I might just wait a week... Its just the fact some of my friends are preordering it, (well, maybe only one), and they/he will want an all johnson firefight!
