Ah dang it lol I was just thinking i needed to check!

  • 05.01.2010 1:17 AM PDT

Lol I just felt like digging around some too, I have it Im just really trying to get it for my brother. Im on his account now to try and get it before he goes home. We both have an xbox and wii. I chose xbox so he has to go home and not be able to play Reach Beta at all. Literally, he wont get one day. Im trying to get him one day since he leaves on saturday lol.

My GT is celticsgreen17 so u can actually tell I do have it. Ive been busting my butt on twitter trying to get some but to no avail. Im not even doing it for me either lol. Alas there is one thing I can do and that is play some Reach myself.

But why are you doing this for your brother? Is he going to war or something I mean he could wait like most of us will to play Monday.

Bungie, what the hell is this? You're giving away free beta codes to anyone who glances at your webpage, but you won't open the beta to the people who actually bought your expansion pack? That thing was $60! Surely you must've known that for every code posted, there would be at least four loyal fans unable to get it, desperately trying code after code, with no real chance of success. Four every happy person, there are four feeling despondent and betrayed. I'm being deployed overseas during the summer, and I won't be here to see Reach's launch. Hell, if worst comes to worst, I'll never get to play it. The beta was supposed to be my time to experience Reach. I was going to play like hell for the seventeen days. But now, I don't know. Whenever I run through the trailers, the gameplay footage, the screenshots...I just feel...sick.

Nah, hes going home from college, since I have our only xbox and I dont get done with school till I think the 21st. So hes stuck at home with no xbox and the inability to play the beta at all. Bad timing, so I figured Id try and get him a shot at playing early.

He leaves sunday not saturday too so I still can try tomorrow.

  • 05.01.2010 1:45 AM PDT

Ah that's pretty cool I'm sure my brother would not do anything that cool for me but eh best of luck to you man I'll be sitting here refreshing for the next few hours.

Good luck to you Bungie on all your future endeavors. I really hope you make some awesome games. I just hope Activision doesn't do anything shady.

Like others I am upset over the give away and how it's been handled. Including the exploit codes just reaping in a big ol' bowl of fail. I even posted my disappointment Thursday. My first complaint post since I've joined up on Bungie.net and of course I received quite a few negative words at me for expressing my frustration.

Although I did end up being lucky enough to get a code and I was pacified by Reach. My feelings haven't changed. Bungie may have made it rain with codes but it still left a lot of dedicated and loyal fans out of the action. You guys have a reason to be agitated and upset. Don't let anyone say different. If you bought ODST for the beta. Nobody has the right to say it's not worth it when it's your money and you can spend it how you want. I know a lot of my friends bought ODST just for the beta as they only play multiplayer.

Just bare with it guys and gals. Monday is so close and if it makes anybody feel better. (Which I doubt.) The Arena playlist is still closed so nobody will be getting a jump on you in the season ratings or anything. We're just allowed to play Grab Bag and FFA. - Whew, long post. Sorry. Again good luck to you Bungie. I hope your partnership proves fruitful and your games continue to set the industry standard.

Yeah we actually get along pretty well surprisingly. Hes done some cool stuff for me so I figured itd b a return. He lives in a dorm too so a bunch of ppl could play with him. Best of luck to you as well

  • 05.01.2010 1:50 AM PDT

This is how close I was...I can't type that fast!!!

  • 05.01.2010 1:52 AM PDT

Lol man you should copy and paste it

  • 05.01.2010 1:53 AM PDT

I did! I should have said I can't ctrl+c ctrl+v fast enough

  • 05.01.2010 2:14 AM PDT

That sucks man well best of luck on the up coming codes but if all else fails we have 2 days and I think I can actually wait so good luck guys!

  • 05.01.2010 2:15 AM PDT

Nothing but false hope, wasted effort, and suffocating grief.

To Bungie! May they kick even more ass in the coming years!

(Needless to say, the video curbed all fears I had about the Activision announcement.)

  • 05.01.2010 3:12 AM PDT

Well, that's it. I'm getting off. Friday's gone. I'll be asleep all day Saturday because I've been up so late. So all I have to get through is Sunday.

I offer a brofist to all those who didn't get a code.
I offer something else to Bungie.

  • 05.01.2010 3:19 AM PDT

Wee Buns

do you think its entirely fair giving out codes for free to people who didnt buy odst at all, and to make the disgrace even more -blam!-e let these people play early.

  • 05.01.2010 4:28 AM PDT

So im guessing you guys wont have any more codes for saturday?
