I have played one game on xbox live of Halo 2 but it was a custom game. Does this still get me the flair? I am active on Halo 2 vista if that makes a difference.

I think so about the custom game. Vista is void with the nameplates.

If that game shows up here then yes.

Playing Vista has no effect on these flairs.


Sweet thank you very much. I know what flair i'll be using :)

Hey! My name Jordan Higgins. I'm British. And as you all know, the British are the inventors of time and space. Anyway...I am very big-headed (not my personality, I'm talking about the shape of my skull. It is quite large) I love Halo! I am quite a good drawer, I suck at sports! Unless it's Griffball, in which case I still stuck, but I'm safe in the knowledge that I won't get picked last.

-_-

Smiley face does not approve.

Why don't you just make the "HALO" nameplate only require Halo 3 and Halo 2? Is it impossible to do?

I reckon this is a great solution.

I like sniping

Both my cousin and I have played a fair amount of Halo CE on the PC with separate keys and both of us have got the message that our keys have already been redeemed. That's kinda slack Bungie that people are getting recognition for steeling...

I'll investigate more tomorrow, but the first CD key that someone PMed me is the #1 most pirated Mac key, easily available online. I'll assume that he came by it honestly since no one is going to bother me with a key they know they found online, when they'd know that I'd know, too.

So that suggests that either there was a factory printing glitch - unlikely since PC keys are affected too, and if MS had a problem producing yellow stickers, we'd all be having problems with Windows and Office and it wouldn't be limited to Halo PC :-) Or... some people here were victims of software counterfeiting, buying at retail cloned CDs and all the same key (or small set of keys - I pre-banned about 100 pirated keys out of 5 million possible and 1 million used, before we activated this feature.)

For the people finding that their key was rejected - can you provide details of the condition of the box or how the CD looked? Anything that in hindsight can help confirm this theory? Usually, counterfeit retail software can be detected as such if you know what to look for. Maybe you guys can swap photos of your CDs and the community can solve this mystery overnight :-)

Thanks!

Sweet, I'm set :D

sawnose, go to bed!

Also, on the nameplate page you direct people to the Halo CE forum, and there have been an influx of repeat threads, yet no moderator attention in there. Can the link be to this thread or a FAQ instead?

So when I put my code in I get

"We've had a problem with your request, please try again."
and it doesn't change. Does this mean that it's taken???

  • 08.26.2010 2:02 AM PDT

yeah, I got that same thing
"We've had a problem with your request, please try again."
thinking to just buy a new copy just for a new key

Stupid question, feel free to yell at me:

I play Halo 2 on my current GT, but only the campaign and local games while connected to xbox live. They don't show up there, but I have game data and downloaded the maps.
Am I getting the flair?
A simple yes or no would be appreciated, and I wont be asking follow-up questions or complaining to you, would just like the know.

I played the Halo 2 campaign and the save data is on my harddrive, but I didn't play multiplayer because I don't have Xbox Live. Is it only multiplayer counts and playing the campaign doesn't unlock anything?

Concerning the H2 flair, should the option to use it already be there with the HPC and marathon?

@ Samhiuy, they need to see that you have played online to confirm that you played the game at all. So no, you won't be eligible for the flair.

Halo 2 wasn't just popular, it was popular for years - Jaime Griesemer (Gameplay Design Lead)

Yeah it work, thanks sawnose

May be unrelated, but I can't find any servers in Halo PC now... I was playing it earlier today, yesterday, the day before etc, but now I can't find any servers at all.

The game locks up when I press back in the server list screen, and it was stuck at 'checking for updates' for a little while just before.

I'm going to try restarting my PC and see if that fixes it.

* Restarted and ran Halo PC. Got a popup that said it wasn't exited correctly. Ran it normally and went to multiplayer. Got stuck at the checking for updates screen for ages again, cancelled, went back in, clicked get list, program crashed.

Tried again, still nothing.

Also tried with Halo Custom Edition and couldn't find any servers on there either.

Edit: Checked on the Halo Maps forums and apparently it's a Gamespy issue.

Both Halo PC and Marathon DONE. ALL SET.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

My key isn't working, looks like my copy was a bad one. If I go and get myself a new copy of Halo PC from Amazon now will that key make me eligible?

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work but if that's not a viable solution can someone fill me in on the details?
