The HALO trilogy is one of the greatest entertainment experiences of all time!

Okay, I'm slightly confused about this.

Have you played Halo 2 on your Live Account at any time?

If you did, but changed the name you'll still get the flair.

But if Halo 2 was played on the other account (Your Fathers) then only he will be able to activate the Halo 2 nameplate. There is nothing that can be done about that.


Thanks for trying to help. No I played it on mine but at the time i had the name that he took back for his new account after the name change, I have the right account but not the same name, I am only asking because a while ago before Halo 2 was shut down it showed my history on his account because of his name even though it was played on mine, and it showed it on my account on the site here that I hadn't played on this account even though I had

It must be something to do with EB or maybe something with the Australia games, because this is pretty much the same as what happened to me! I'm going to be pissed if I miss out on the code because of where I live...

I got it to work finally but it still showed my old gamer picture
which I change a month ago?

Well see I think i am going to miss out on getting to use my code I mean I go under the name TSA Jpicard on halo PC there must be a way to track that or something. sorry guys but using keys to redeem something on PC from 8 years ago it would have being keygen to death there needs to be a better way to get your flair!

It may have to do with the product codes out of the US completely,not just Australia.
I am sure Bungie will solve the problem.

Don't be scared! :)
Besides even if it was used (which it won't) you still have one of the greatest games ever.

Y'know, after beating Marathon a while back, I was awarded with that nice Marathon symbol for completing the game. It saddens me a bit that there isn't a Marathon emblem, I'm actually quite fond of the symbol. Hopefully in the future it'll be there so I can be completely decked out. Still, the Marathon: Durandal emblem is nice.


On a side note, my question is might there possibly be more emblems in the future other than the current set? I would definantly enjoy seeing a little flood on my nameplate and watch my friends squirm. :)

I know this is suppose to be a "help to unlock" forum and whatnot, but I just wanted to kinda put that out there.

Oh, and before I go and post this I wanted to point out that Marathon: Durandal was NOT on my recent games list. Instead, I had the little gamer picture that you get for completing the game and it worked just fine. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but hey, just throwing it out there. And my Halo CD key worked fine, I think it's seven or eight years old now? :)


Best of luck to all those that are having problems unlocking their flairs. I wanna see more people with the HALO flair on launch date.

So I just did both of them. What happens if I change my gamertag now?

There's nothing to see here, move along.

There is no disc for Marathon. It is available for purchase on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace...

Marketplace is how they expect you to get it.(also the only way)

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

You can get the entire marathon trilogy on disc for Mac or PC, however there is obviously no way to use them for such flair, therefore you would have to have Marathon 2 purchased on xbla to get it.

who can raise there hand and say they still have the 4 Floppy installation discs for Marathon for the Mac it was only for the mac... with the old big game box it came in... Yes I can for all of them. I still think extremely loyal fans need to get some kinda super FLAIR but I guess not there just giving away easy to get flair.

I got this message: "It appears you've tried and failed too many times. Try again in a little while." How long is "a little while?"

“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.”

There must be a problem!

At least 80% of the people trying to get the Halo PC Flair, are getting the "used key" message.

Besides, it's not like every modder out there is stuck on Bungie.net 24/7, the news about the activation process went up just 4 hours ago.

Hopefully all this will get solved.

No one knows.

My Guess is 24 hours.

Yeah, my guess too... thanks for the help though. :)

I've added FAQ part 1 to the OP.

For the people who posted that you bought a retail copy and the key shows as used...

If you already posted above in the thread, then PM me your code, I wonder if you'll all send the same code (misprint?), or what...

If you didn't already post above about it, that's ok, I'll still try and fix it for everyone, I just don't don't want an unlimited number of PMs. Limiting my request to the handful of people who posted above should make it manageable.

Don't post codes in the forum, and don't PM them to anyone but me.

I'll take a look in the morning, it's 1AM and I'm done for the night :-)

Well, the Marathon Durandal finally updated to my Bungie.net gamercard, so now I have both Flairs.

Thanks to all who helped with suggestions.
