ok so i just learned of this code thing i got that message from microsoft a long time ago giving me 3 months of gold and 400 ms points but i dont recall seeing anything about the reach: beta. if i did happen to overlook anything is there anyway to recover and view a deleted xbl message so i can get that code a few hours early?


I don't think so, but I'm not entirely sure. You might want to take that to a different place where somebody might have the answer. sorry for being no help.

Once a message is deleted its gone, but the reach codes weren't sent out THAT long ago I'm pretty sure. Although I could be wrong. Either way you probably can't get in earlier.

  • 05.03.2010 1:46 AM PDT

im really pissed,do you gett a code in an email for reach or can u just download straight off odst

  • 05.03.2010 1:49 AM PDT

They said late morning PDT.(Which is the time this forum seems to use) "late morning" could be anywhere from 9AM through til 11AM. So you have a few more hours then that to wait, going off what we have been told.

I have 10 bucks on it coming up 10:30AM PDT, in 8 hours and 40 minutes.

I've stated time and time again that the beta will be released late morning Pacific standard time. Expect it around 11 PST.

  • 05.03.2010 1:59 AM PDT

jeez wtf i have to wait longer wat the hell

  • 05.03.2010 2:00 AM PDT

Perhaps you should of read the time better instead of just going by the date?

  • 05.03.2010 2:03 AM PDT

  • 05.03.2010 2:03 AM PDT

  • 05.03.2010 2:04 AM PDT

well if it comes out at 11pm pdt time then i have to wait to like 7pm so consider yourself lucky

  • 05.03.2010 2:09 AM PDT

lucky im goin nuts ive been waitin every dasince they said it was comin out and the vids on xbl and waypoint dont make things easier.

  • 05.03.2010 2:10 AM PDT

Once again, US gets priority and Europe gets shafted!! 11am PST ~ 19:00 GMT, its bank holiday here in the UK and we have to waste almost the whole day waiting fot it? c'mon bungie, flick the euro switch NOW please!!!!

  • 05.03.2010 2:10 AM PDT

So the beta is starting late morning PDT right. This means we over in the good old UK have to wait until 4pm ON A BANK HOLIDAY!!! I was expecting to wake up this morning and be able to play the Halo Reach Beta instantly but instead Bungie have to open it in their own time.

Why couldn't they have done a midnight launch over in PDT and then it would be 7am over here, a reasonable time?

Yeah but you're only waiting as many hours as I am. Not like it's a huge difference.

  • 05.03.2010 2:12 AM PDT

  • 05.03.2010 2:12 AM PDT

thats unfair why should america get priority everyone has brought the odst disc should be able to play as soon as it hits the 3rd of may.
