The months automatically add to your account. They don't give you a code for that.


actually they do not the 3month/400 MS point token is a code I got mine 2 days ago on xbl message, a day after I got the email so no it's not automatic...
The months were added to my account last Tuesday. I didn't get on Live until Friday and they had a code for the points. Months were automatically added.

Anyone know what you had to do to get this points? I have had halo 2 since day one I think it had been awhile since I played online due to playing halo 3.

my guess is that bungie and or microsoft viewed the players who were most active playing halo 2 just recently. if you havent played H2 in a while they might have just over looked your gamertag. they probably just gave thanks to the people who were most dedicated to halo 2

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I got the message and e-mail and I hope we get the Reach Beta early. That would be pretty cool...

  • 03.10.2010 1:14 PM PDT

Why i wont get anything? my friend had played 1-10 games and got points and live and beta code... i have played 800games and i got nothing. Whats that about?

I got the xbox live msg and the email before anyone ever posted about getting it. I live in the U.S. and I have played 549 games of Halo 2. Plus I have played it recently. I have also received the 400 MS points, the 3 months of xbox live, and I will be getting the Beta code. I also have ODST. So I'm guessing people get this at different times.

I called xbox on this heres the jist of it:
1. They send them out in waves
2. Not known if beta key is for early beta (it is possible though, I mean why would they need a code because if this is for hardcore halo fans, you already have ODST, and with ODST when May 3rd comes you dont need a code, assuming its like Crackdown. On top of that they said you STILL need the ODST disc WITH the code [according to the xbox guy i talked to]. I'm thinking this is like the Halo 3 beta where 10,000 people got the beta a week or so early. But that is my assumption.)

And from what i saw, this guy got it with 5 games of halo 2 and he was playing on a brand new account on a xbox 360.


I've been having an argument with my friend over this, because I haven't purchased ODST and I got the email for beta access. He insists that I still need the ODST disc to access the beta, even with receiving the email.

How does that make any sense? Why would you need to have a copy of the ODST disc (which already grants you access) just to be granted access again with the code from microsoft? It seems redundant and unnecessary. Anyone agree/disagree?

so the majority who received nothing are SOL ? Did they just send the compensations to a few people just to "look good" ??

THIS IS OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION

I got that email too, I dont think you get the points right away.
And I must say for once it is definitely more rewarding than microsofts usual swallow the pill attitude. I honestly believe bungie may have had a part to play in the matter, I am a little less disappointed especially knowing it is because of future updates and not just them discontinuing original title for the sake of it.


Considering they're offering Reach Beta invites, I'm sure Bungie had a say.
You do know Micro$oft owns the Halo IP right? So it doesn't mean Bungie had a say just because of the Reach Beta in the email. I've got my 3 free months and 400 MP but still no beta code yet.

I got it, I redeem the code for the 400 MS but when I tried to play Halo 3 online, I couldn't. I still don't have the 3 month idk why, anyone knows?

  • 03.14.2010 8:00 PM PDT

I got this message, but it was an Xbox message not an email. It said "As a valued LIVE customer please enjoy 400 ms points and 3 months of LIVE." Is this the same thing? Cuz i didnt see anything about the Reach BETA.

Hey ! Where are my 400 MSP and 3 Live Gold months ?!!

  • 03.19.2010 4:32 PM PDT

I have been playing Halo since the original game, I even preordered the limited edition of the second one way back when. I really hope I don't get stiffed by MS on this one!

  • 03.19.2010 6:00 PM PDT

It looks like Microsoft is only doing this to make them look like they are 'compensating' people for playing Halo 2. And yet, people who have only played 1 game are getting it and people who have played thousands of games are being stiffed. Microsoft, you are definitely one of the dumbest gaming companies, if not THE dumbest.

  • 03.20.2010 3:44 PM PDT

Real fish might hurt human body. Soffish 100% Harmless! Do not eat!

Was it just me or did they say they would be sending out more emails sometime in Mid march or so? Anyone have any updates on that?

yeah, looks like they sent the email to a few people only, just enough to get reports about it on gaming sites/blogs and "look good". In other words they exploited the few people who received the compensation to improve their PR image

There hasn't been an announcement, but I assume it's the same. The only difference may be when you can access the Beta, but I think it will be the same day anyways.
