Instructions on how to quit the match:
1: Grab a knife
2: Insert said knife into your forehead with as much force as you can apply

The key you entered is not in a valid format, check your key and try again.

The message I keep receiving when I attempt to enter my key.

That was unnecessary to show your disappointment.
Edit:
And did you even read where they said why they couldn't?

So I see that some of you are having problems with the format so I'm going to put out an example of what it should look like, or at least the way I put it in there and it came out correct.

Keep in mind the code being shown is not a real one and should not be copied, this is for helping purposes only. At least, I hope it's not real :S (Btw, I'm a pc user so I don't know what the deal is on how to do it with the mac code. Sorry!)

I did not space out the dashes, I used caps lock, and finally I tried to help ya. Hopefully you get it right by using this as an example. I did it in that format and it worked out just fine for me.

Good luck with unlocking your flairs!

Same issue as everyone else. I've entered the PC code several times and got the format error message.

thanks jenkins but it didnt help, i think it is an internal problem and we will have to wait for bungie to fix it

I have tried it that way and with no caps both continue to say wrong format.

  • 08.27.2010 3:31 PM PDT

Must be a problem with them, sorry it didn't work out for ya.


I'm no Sawnose so I can't tell you what's happening. My guess is wait it out a bit for the official word. My code worked and it's from a sleeve that's from '03, did it in the same format as I stated above.

Again, sorry it didn't work out for ya :(

We know how to do it, it just rejects it anyway.

"The key you entered is not in a valid format, check your key and try again."

I'm entering it perfectly, caps/no caps. is anyone else having this problem, is it fixable?

I put in my Halo PC code, 25 letters and digits in sets of 5 with -'s separating them, and I get this error:
"We've had a problem with your request, please try again."

I even copied and pasted the format given on the page and replace the 'X's with the proper numbers and letter.
