FAQ 2: (added to OP)

Q: What if I link my gamertag to a different Live ID?
A: The unlocks will stick to your gamertag/Live account, not your Passport/LiveID account. (This is good - it means it won't break the "supercombine" you might have earned.

**********************
Q: Help! It says my key has already been redeemed!
**********************
A: I asked a bunch of people to PM me their keys when this happened, and guss what? Almost everyone sent me the same few keys! It looks like either people forgot they got their key on a warez site, or else accidentally bought a counterfeit copy of the game via a distributor who printed the same key with every CD they clone. If you're getting this error and wonder if it's the cause, try this experiment: paste the first two blocks of letters (XXXXX-XXXXX) into Google - does your full key come up on a Halo warez/torrent page? Bad news, it's not a legit copy. That's been the case for all the PM'ed keys I've tried. Overall, from the thousands of valid keys entered in the 16 hours the page has been up, it looks like things are running smoothly for the vast majority of users.

"The key you've entered is not in a valid format or isn't a valid key. Check your key and try again."

I keep getting this, I know I am entering the key correctly. Do I enter it with or without the - or does that matter at all?

WELL NOW I FEEL STUPID. I should have gone to my game records instead of making assumptions based on my profile page (my game records ARE there) but there's still a problem. there are no records of my lasts games of halo 2 that I played (on the last day) will that affect anything?

As long as you have games listed online, you'll get the flair. Its not only for the last day.


thanks

Thanks alot! But do you have to keep buying Bungie pro to use that one? Or is it a one time deal?

I believe it would only be available while you have Bungie Pro.

Really? Hmmm.....not sure I like that one.

Enter with the dashes.
Still got the same thing.

Try it without caps. I did mine first with caps and it didn't work.

Still the same message sir.

I feel stupid, AND CONTAGIOUS, here we are now, ENTERTAIN US

I just played marathon durandel and it shows on my recent list on my 360 and on the website, but it's not showing on the gamercard on this site, and when i click submit, it says it cannot be detected. so now what?

edit: nvm, read the original answer

Still the same message sir.

Hmmm...strange. Are you reading the code directly off the Halo PC packaging?

  • 08.26.2010 3:49 PM PDT

i dont have a copy of halo: CE but i have played marathon, if i dont have a code and want to redeem for my marathon would and bought a copy of halo: CE, would i be able to enter the halo: CE code at a later time?

another thing, my live record is updated and all is fine but when i press submit it asks me to enter a PC code, is there something im doing wrong? (it told me to press submit but im unsure if there is supposed to be one submit button or two... but all im seeing is one)

You have no idea how revolting I can be.

Not really a problem but...

When you are on anyone's profile, not just your own, you have the Game Settings Tab. It doesn't do anything but I was just ensuring that you knew it was there.

  • 08.26.2010 3:51 PM PDT

Yes sir, the code is on a yellow strip on the back of the game sleeve. I have tried entering it every way I can think of but I keep getting the same message.

Interesting, you should make a limit for the Halo CE codes now because everyone is going to go out and buy a copy now!

Is there a time limit?
Can I put in a code, lets say 3 years from now? :O


We haven't decided yet. There won't be a deadline of 9/14, but I don't know if there will eventually be one. If all the traffic looks legit, we'll leave it up longer. If suddenly there's a keygen, we'll cut things off.

Did you see my post on page 20? As far as I can tell, my copy is legit (albeit used), and I find it unlikely that the person that sold it to me even kept the key to beat me to entering it during the first 8 hours the tool was active.

I already thought of using Google to search for my key, and I looked at the publicly available keys to compare to mine, as well. I didn't see mine anywhere. Can you tell me one way or the other if my key was simply used by another individual or not? I would really appreciate it because if I have a counterfeit copy, I'd like to know.

I already ordered a new copy from Amazon (I would have bought a new copy initially, but for the May 26th cutoff you stipulated). Does a new copy of Halo PC have to be used online for the key to work with this Bungie.net nameplate tool?

sorry lol, heres the deal, i dont own halo: CE, i plan to in the future, on the page where you redeem everything it gives you an option for the halo: CE emblem, or the marathon emblem.

when i try to redeem the marathon emblem it says basically "if all is good press submit", and all is good but when i press submit it tells me to enter a PC code... i dont know what im doing wrong but thats question one.

question 2 is that if i do end up redeeming my marathon emblem would it hinder my ability to redeem my halo: CE emblem if i do decide to buy halo: CE in the future?

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

This is disappointing, I played Halo 2 on a different account D: (Got to level 42)

I'm happy with the Marathon and Halo flairs though. :D

Sawnose, I have a question. What about the people who bought and played Halo: Combat Evolved from the Xbox Live Marketplace? You can track Marathon which is bought from the xbox live marketplace and why not Halo? Can you please explain this?
If you read what Sawnose posted you would've seen that he said that bungie doesn't work with microsoft anymore so you can't use that Halo even if it is in your recent games
