These answers are OK Bungie, but WHY LATE MORNING. WHY not EARLY MORNING?

Remember the US has 4 different time zones I live in NC which is in the Eastern Time Zone. Bungie is in the Pacific Time Zone. So 10-11am BUNGLE, yes I said bungle, Time is say for instance, 1-2pm Eastern (My) Time.

But, yes why not have said beta on timed release to 12:01am Bungie Time.

Nothing we can do. Most of us are upset solely becaue we bought ODST for the reach beta. it is unfair that we arent getting an early start but thats life it aint fair =p lets just enjoy knowing that we will be pwning the guys who did get an early start. Still makes it fun for me.


oooo you went there. I bought ODST cause it's awesome


'nuff said.

Everybody stop complaning,, the beta comes out tomorrow thats very soon... To me it looks like Sketch and others who work with Bungie have tried to tell you that not everyone can get a code,, it may have not been fair the way they distributed them but at least their doing the Beta in the first place it doesnt matter if u were someone who got a code or someone who didnt get a code beacuse we'll all be playing may 3 (maybe not people in other countries from the United States sorry)

do we not think its a bit unfair to have Australia have it a day late considering everyone was promised may 3rd? and the uk get it late when its a bank holiday. ahh thats life i suppose. i think bungie should of done it so it came out 12:01 in everywhere rather then a worldwide release because everyone will be downloading at the same time so its gonna go really slow. i hope it comes out about 5pm gmt

Great, so us loyal customers who actually bought ODST have to wait. They could have given the free codes out at a later date. I wasn't even planning on playing this weekend, but it's still pretty annoying that all the people who bought it have to miss an extra weekend even though they're the ones supporting the game.

Bungie isn't about money; they probabley prefere loyal fans (halo 2) over loyal customers. Just saying. Anyways bungie didn't have a say in rewarding halo 2 players if that's who your refering to.

will there be forge in halo reach, and will the file share from halo 3 carry over to reach??

Question: I have a Friends and Family code. Does that mean i don't need ODST come monday?

  • 05.02.2010 5:11 PM PDT

Feet First Into Hell...

Dude that means you can play it right now. Wth. If you have the code but don't mind waiting til monday (if you have ODST) then I'll have it :P As i have to wait til 6PM on monday as I live in the UK and I have my final exams the rest of the week :'(

Hey everybody! If someone gives you a horse make sure you look in its mouth.

In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

Is there a limit to number of times you can download the beta from your odst disk? For example, if I went to play on my friend's xbox next weekend after playing on my console this week. If I brought my odst disk with me, would it let me download the beta onto his machine too? I understand that one can only play the beta with the odst disc (or a code), so he/I could only play the beta with the odst disc inserted, right?

FAQ and that's all that was asked is a bunch of people wondering when the beta was coming and why couldn't it come on earlier or why they didn't get codes or why people were playing already? I was hoping to get better insight into the actual beta.

OMG, 1 more day, it is so soon and yet it is so far. I can't wait!!! This is going to be the best HALO ever. I dont know what to try first. Maybe just play some good old slayer just to get the hang of the new controls. BTW, biggest change in controls ever.
