Subject: Microsoft thanks Halo 2 Players (Free 3 Months, 400MSP, and Reach Beta

I didn't get anything.. Maybe it will take them awhile to get to all the people..

Bam! Said The Lady!

Im glad about bungie/microsoft treating those who have been loyal fans to the halo series, i really wish more games had a community like the halo series, and bungie.
Its just a shame that i have clocked probably the correct amount of time and games required for this... just not online!
Dam my goddam old dial up connection!

Of Course I will help you beta test your sweet software :3.
<3 Bungie.

Bit disappointed I didnt get this :/ I loved H2, I didn't play alot of MM, but more Customs :) Still - it's nice to see MS rewarding players :)

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I wasn't thanked. Anyway, they shouldn't be thanking me...I should be thanking Xbox Live and Bungie for all the great times I had on Halo 2 and for all the friends I've met.

Getting ready for Reach, should be great.

I'm THE one and only Big, Angry Worm. Tapeworm...?

I got it, but what about the code for the Beta? Do we get it earlier?

  • 03.06.2010 3:13 AM PDT

I didn't get the e-mail, because I can't access the e-mail address linked to my GT.
I got the ms points and 3 months through an xbl message though. I don't need the Reach Beta because I have ODST.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Also, there is a message on the xbox 1 dash about the shutdown. It also says you cant redownload dlc.

Also, the Code is sent to your messages. It will be from "LIVE" and will have a code. Enter it in the dash or on xbox.com.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

over 5000 games played and no email or anything :(

  • 03.06.2010 6:24 AM PDT

I currently am working on Halo Wars achievements. 4 to go.
I currently am working on Halo 2 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3 achievements.
I currently have all Halo 3:ODST achievements.
I currently have all Halo: Reach achievements.

I was very happy to see this e-mail. I got my code, and can't wait for the Beta Code.

That makes sense you have 700 something games played I only have... wait 14,000 since feb 05 majority of those on original Xbox and I paid for all the map packs. So am I being punished for not playing H2 recently and buying H3 or something seems to me they are picking names out of a hat.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I guess it depends if you played halo 2 alot on your 360. Most of my friends and I played halo 2 alot on the 360 after our original xbox's died from hardware failure.

One of them played halo 2 only about less then 100 times on the 360 and he got an email too.

I just wish they would clear this up like "We're done sending emails" "We're not done" you had to play x number of games through a certain frame

i didint get this either, but im guessing its based on the tenure of the account.my new account is only 2 years old. my old one would have probably gotten this offer. its sad tho cause ive been playing halo since day one, and consider myself to be a pretty big fanboy. i think a letter to microsoft is in order here.

  • 03.06.2010 8:21 AM PDT

A better gift for ye olde LIVE shutting down would be them to update Halo 2 to a 360 game and give it away for free over LIVE for a month or two.

But that would never happen.

I've been on the same account for over 4 years will be 5 1st of next month so it isn't that they really need an in depth explanation that's messed up people are getting it for playing H2 for a few games then people with thousands don't

I have a friend who barely played Halo 2 ONE TIME and he got it. I haven't gotten anything. This is messed up. One online match. ONE! You've got to be kidding me...

I've bought Halo CE twice, Halo 2 Limited Edition, Halo 3, then Halo 3 Collectors Edition, all the Halo Map packs, Halo Wars to get a map pack for Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo merc, and spent hundreds of hours of my life. I wouldn't mind them taking away Halo 2 if they gave ME some compensation too. Is there a delay? It's been a couple days now.

Why are you here?

Ha just because I'm home from college this weekend and can't get to an xbox, means I apparently am not inconvenienced by Halo 2 shutting down.

Did you check the email linked to your xbox live account? The one where you played origional xboxlive games?

  • 03.06.2010 10:21 AM PDT

Yeah.

  • 03.06.2010 10:25 AM PDT

wait is this another stupid US-ONLY thing ? Anyone NOT in the US received the emails ?

I just contacted Xbox Support. They said to be patient and it may take longer for most people. If we don't have it by the end of this week let's riot.

  • 03.06.2010 10:40 AM PDT

Man I have about 600 games in my previous account and I dont get nothing in that email and in this account nothing too, so really Microsoft will send us the gifts for play a few times? I doubt so.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

No email but got the MS point.

But!
