No matter how many times I forget about this place, I always get dragged back.

I'm more than okay with that.

I think the thing that bugs me is that for a while it was a randomly selected group of people that would earn a prize. That was fun, and fair. I never won, but I never felt bad about it.
This was like taking telling everyone "hey, we could hold a random drawing for all these prizes but instead we've decided to throw them in a pile in the center of the room and watch you fight over them. Here are your knives."

I don't like this one bit.


Except for a select few that went out and got a gigantor sword (a bot) to get as many codes for themselves as possible.

Yeah I started trying to get codes when the post was only 2o minutes old, but I still couldn't get a code. I just stopped now(11:00) after typing hundreds of different codes, for hours.

Thanks for trying Bungie, even though I didn't get a code I still love you <3

I grabbed like 50 codes like 5 minutes after the posted them and every single one was taken.

maybe if this tread reaches 77 pages, they will put out more codes? get spamming!!

  • 04.30.2010 8:18 PM PDT

out of intrest, does anyone know what time the beta gets released in Europe? through the odst menu?

If bungie cared about their fans right now, they would be looking at http://twitter.com/#search?q=bungietweets to see all the sad pandas in the world.

I wonder if anyone's gotten one of the eight that got randomly -blam!-'d.

can't get any codes. how can they all be taken

  • 04.30.2010 8:20 PM PDT

I doubt that they will put out any more codes... They probably won't even notice us failures.

  • 04.30.2010 8:21 PM PDT

I have inside knowledge that spamming is the path to more codes.

  • 04.30.2010 8:21 PM PDT

I hate bots, I just wish people wouldn't use them.

I used to think Bungie were the type of gaming company that cared. What this shows me is that they don't care.

They've abused their position by trying under hand marketing tricks. They knew that everyone on the internet would post about Reach, codes, etc. People on twitter that don't even play halo are "Giving away codes" just to get more followers, while people like us, that have given our time into the halo franchise just get left in the cold.

I would've much preferred a system that rewards you for your loyalty over a random grab bag.

This shows to me Bungie are willing to gain new, un-caring members at the expense of the loyal ones.

Thanks bungie - sad panda.

LOL, some of the codes got messed up, here's what one of them literally says.

WWJDY-DCFB6-2GJJ4-QW39C-TV-blam!-

whoever either can guess or guessed the curse word got or get's the code.
I can't help but laugh at this, I already tried @$$ and that didn't work so it's a case of "Who's got the biggest vocabulary of curses" contest.

I doubt it they already went home for the weekend so no more codes other then twitter if your lucky

This day will now be known as the Code Day.

I will make a new wikipedia page tomorrow and will forever be in the History of Bungie.

Amen.

  • 04.30.2010 8:31 PM PDT

what the -blam!-. this is definetley not worth waiting for more codes. -blam!- halo reach. i dont even think i can play the beta because i only have the campaign disc. does anyone know if you need the multiplayer disc or the campaign

  • 04.30.2010 8:32 PM PDT

I play for fun, not for Competition, besides, its just a game you over actors.

After College, I plan to apply for a job at Bungie.

I've tried like, 7 codes, even on lucky number 7 I didn't get one. I give. I spent all morning trying to get a code. I think I might actually start bawling crying, its just so fustrating. Can't you guys just gives codes to everyone? That way people stop this Mindless Nonsense! Oh well, I hope monday gets here faster, that or I somehow win a code. Seriously. I'll ask in the nicest and most sincere way possible if that'd help, "Which it won't."

  • 04.30.2010 8:32 PM PDT

Well, the ones messed up by curses might still work...

Quick! Someone think of a three letter curse word that isn't @$$!

Haha I can't imagine that anyone would use a bot.

Think about it, less than 10% of B.net viewers have accounts, and most of them only use them for stats.

I bet there are still a few left. But you have about a 3/1000 chance of finding it.
