I do not even know the full story to this, but I have also played Halo 2 in the past and recently.

Nobody seems to know what the criteria is for getting the email.

COULD I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.

This may be a US-only thing.

Everyone, could you please state whether or not you got the email and which country you're from.

I'll start:

Email received: No
Country: Canada

  • 03.06.2010 8:09 PM PDT

Email: Not yet :(
Country: USA

I have over 3000 games played, I just played a game yesterday but the only game before that was late 2007. My past games did not show up on B-net until after I played yesterday. Hope I still get it!

I have 7,400 games played and some are getting it with only 3 games. I'm personally searching for trends. I've looked at the records of people who have gotten emails, and i have come to the conclusion based on this:
I called xbox support, emails come in waves, and token *might* get you in early, although the customer support *is pretty sure* that it will take the ODST disc.

Based on what I have seen, on 3.4.10 the emails started. People who are getting the emails seem to have games in March, Feb, and just a few in Jan 2010. Those people who only have games in January seem to be getting their emails around 3.5.10/3.6.10.

A most likely conclusion from this is that it is not based off the games you play/country/etc. but it is either:

You've played Halo 2 within the last 6 months. (Heard this off MLG, could be since they announced original Xbox Live was ending/Halo 3 launch, but 6 months seems reasonable to me.

Or this is the account you originally used on the original xbox (although I highly doubt this because people who have only played on the xbox 360 are getting it).

Personally, I think its if you've played H2 within the past 6 months. Hope this clears things up.

I played the game back in Feb. this year and got the email so maybe Feb. was the cutoff but not sure.

Thanks everybody for helping rule out that possibility.

It may have to do with the time-frame of Halo 2 games played. However, on this account, I played on Feb. 16th, 2010, but I didn't get an email.

  • 03.07.2010 7:37 PM PDT

It's a random draw, from what I have heard. I have yet to see anything that says playing Halo 2 will or will not give you better odds at getting the email.

Also Bungie has no control over this, its a Microsoft thing. You may have better luck asking your questions on their site.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Whats this "email" thing your talking about?

  • 03.24.2010 10:11 PM PDT

Ski until you drop... then get right back up and keep going

Canada

Ive gotten the e-mail, well if you are talking about the one where you get MS points, more months of live and reach invite, that is.

Not sure what the criteria is... but i got the e-mail twice, about two weeks apart, not too sure why(its the same e-mail).

Ive played halo 2 on live for a while now.(not sure exactly, but id say about two years) and have been going back and forth with it and halo 3 since i got it. Anyways thats my little contribution to this thread.

peace

I didn't get an email but a message giving me three months and 400 microsoft points

I called microsoft and correct me if i am wrong but doesent the email mean that you get a reach beta early?
