I play Halo because no one is hardcore enough to play Marathon.

I'm going to college (Rochester Institute of Technology) as of this Thursday the 20th. I've pre-ordered Halo 3 ODST and will be getting the Sgt. Johnson pre-order bonus.

But because my parents won't let me take my 360 to college, and probably for the better, I wanted to know if my parents can send me the code to unlock Sgt. Johnson and activate it on a freinds 360 with my account recovered on his/her 360?

So like armor permutations in Halo 3, if you recover your profile at a freinds house the permutations, including recon, is transferred to their system. Will the same be true for Sgt. Johnson?

Thanks for the Help :)

it wont be tied to your account
i have the halo wars pre order stuff and it saves to your hard drive so that any account on that hard drive will be able to access it

Tied to your HD like the GoW2 Lancer I believe.

Hmm... Could I activate the code on multiple 360's? I'm going to wait until someone from Bungie answers my question.

its on the xbox only i think

Likely no.

That would ruin the point of even pre-ordering from any specific store, given one of your friends has pre-ordered it, either IRL or over XBL.

It's all in good fun!

I'd bet money it is tied to your account. I see no reason why it wouldn't be. Bungie is not Ensemble or whoever makes Gears of War.

nope, it's like microsoft points
once its activated you can't enter it as a valid code again

No, but like recon, I recovered my account at a freinds house and played with my recon armor on at his house. I was very sure to delete my account before I left.

I'm hoping that this will be the same case with ODST.

Wow that sucks your parents won't let you take your xbox to college. Everyone needs a break from college sometime. Where are you going to school?

My parents still think college is like it was when they went in the '70s and they claim that I should always be studying and focusing on nothing but school. I almost thinking of taking it anyway.

I r friendly?

My Twitter, What's Up?

It would be tied to your account, and if you wanted to DL it on another 360, then you would have to go to your download history and redownload it, but it would only work on your account.
