Subject: Bungie on the preorder bandwagon (sigh)

Scream for joy as Bungie has hopped onto the Pre order our game and you'll get the full game bandwagon. Honestly imagine what it would have been like if the original halo followed this ideal. PREORDER HALO CE and get Chill out!

Honestly why I am punished for not preordering this game, it's expected? instead of me going out to the store and just simply buying it.

What does this hold for all the people who do not preorder...we simply don't get the full experience. Now not getting Johnson isn;t a terrible loss but its just aggravating that something like this would come up.

Seems like since the whole Halo Wars mythic thing Bungie is starting to use cheaper and cheaper ways to make money. As if Halo ODST isn't gonna sell enough copies.

Can't wait for when reach comes out, HEY Pre order each and actually get to play the game.

And this is all besides the cheaper price we were promised but that is MS fault so I won't get into that.

Halo isn't the only game that does pre-order bonuses.

Im with yah... fortunatley for me i usualy pre order my games but i still agree... why should we get more coz we sat on our ass instead of walking to a store and picking -blam!- up

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Why not just pay the 5 or so bucks and pre-order? It's really not a huge inconvenience and your guaranteed a copy on release day.

Most mentionable games do have a preorder bonus. It's just a marketing strategy. Think of it this way. The more money we pay them the more they payout in quality games.

Its not to get the full game. Its to get extras.

The only thing your not getting is Johnson if you do not pre order.

  • 08.09.2009 12:59 PM PDT

How is it an extra if its created and finished before the game's release?

why wouldn't they just put it in the game?

I seriously and starting to get aggro from Bungie.

You don't need to pre-order the game to get the full game. You only need to pre-order the game if you want to use the Sgt. Johnson model in Firefight. Sgt. Johnson model =/= Full game.

Oh and:
BAM, SAID THE LAY-DEY!

It's free to pre-order, well in the UK for sure

  • 08.09.2009 1:07 PM PDT

it was probably microsofts idea

i bet bungie made Johnson as a cool thing for fans, and then microsoft sees it and is like can you make that accessible via download, then bungies like well... Okay...

(yes that is complete assumption)

  • 08.09.2009 1:08 PM PDT

yeh its free in uk

Preordering is useless because there are numerous stores you can go to and get the game on day 1.

I wonder why Bungie is offering this bonus? perhaps so people will not change their mind on purchasing the game. Its not about getting Johnson it's about Bungie's marketing group being able to properly gauge how many copies their gonna sell.

Well it's not extra to preorder. The 5 bucks is taken off the 60. I honestly don't know why they need a deposit, but they do. (Going off of what Gamestop does)

And again, it's not a big deal. Just preorder the damn thing. Even if you don't, it's not like your missing anything but a character model.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

It's a multiplayer skin, chill out.

I think Gears came out with a whole map pack for pre-orders. Stop whining that you don't want to spend a little extra. We'd all have more respect for you if you just said "a bonus for more money? Whatever" in your head and left it at that.

Bungie is a business, they need to make money.

  • 08.09.2009 1:56 PM PDT

it's a bonus, and you're making it out to sound like you don't get the full game unless you preorder.

  • 08.09.2009 1:57 PM PDT

Halo=The best game series EVER!
Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

i pre-order loads of games, but i pre-ordered halo 3 odst when the game was available 4 pre-order at Game.

reasons i pre-ordered:

1. I love being one of the first 2 get games first
2. Johnson for FF
3. I can do all the vidmasters really quick. (if im that good, i already have every available vidmaster so far)
4. The price was lowered to £35.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I don't care about Johnson to be fair. I'm getting ODST when I get some spare money together, Johnson or no Johnson. It's only a Firefight character, not like a whole new campaign based around him or anything.

  • 08.09.2009 2:22 PM PDT

Johnson is =/= Full Experience

You're not being punished, it's an extra character, not something that's going to completely change the game.

  • 08.09.2009 2:35 PM PDT

Stop -blam!- crying, its an extra character, not a map pack. Ensemble studios made Halo Wars also, and you only got the map pack two weeks early for doing that.
