ive played halo since it first came out and i dont think its fair that you have to have the pc version.... this is so lame bungie.....

Yeah so have i but unlike you, i and many others were so loyal to Bungie that we ran out and bought Halo CE for the PC as soon as it came out and have been playing ever sense its release... i think its awesome that Bungie is showing their PC fan base a little love. Besides they've said a thousand times, THEY CAN'T TRACK THE HALO CE FOR XBOX OR THE MARKETPLACE, because they are not with Microsoft anymore so they have no way to get the CD keys.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I didn't see it in the pages I read:

Where can I find the code that needs to be typed in? I typed the one that is on the Microsoft sticker on the outside of the box but that didn't work. Please advise.

The code you are looking for is on the game CD sleeve, it should be a yellow sticker with a 25 digit code on it. It should also say "Product Key" above it, atleast thats the general description of mine.

Hey, sorry to be a pain but the code I have will not work. I've tried but it says "You have failed too many times, try again later." :(

Well thats a fail. but just try again in a few hours or wait 1 day ur not to late to unlock the nameplate.

Final clarification on the matter - there is now NO WAY of validating my copy of Halo 2 for Xbox by this point, is there?

If there isn't, there's no point in me buying CE for PC - the only reason I would have done is for the Halo tag. And if I can't validate H2, then there's no point.

If you dont have stats/record of you playing on the tag linked to B.net, then no.

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?


They can't track the Xbox download because it never had the support to be put in your recent games list apparently.

What if i bought it on xbox disk? Please tell me i get it, i really don't want to use the halo 3 symbol because i played halo 2 while live was valid, but i wasn't connected:(

I used all caps for my cd key. And it worked just fine.

Same Here. I did find that having the code read out to you is a lot easier than reading it off the sticker by your self as you may accidentally type the wrong letter

  • 09.01.2010 5:12 AM PDT

So playing halo 2 on my xbl account now will NOT unlock the nameplate because LIVE is discontinued for original xbox games right? (As I saw on the page, it said BEFORE its "tearful retirement", but now I hear some people saying as long as its in your recent games or something. Do you get the "service record" of halo 2 if you just play it now?

It still won't recognise that I've played Marathon. It's on my card, I went through a game of survival the other day so it'd be a recently played game. It's been a few days now and I've played other games. Did I break Marathon will my rad sweet mad ace skills?

If you dont have any stats for Halo 2, you're not unlocking the nameplate. That's the rule of thumb.

What a shame that I own all 3 Halo's and I can't get flair for two of them... nor by that token the flair for owning all 3.

Ah well, let's see what the Star is for and see if I can have a piece of flair more interesting than 'ODST'.

I played several Halo 2 matchmaking games on Xbox Live on the day before the servers closed down, but B.net says I haven't even played one game.

Please look into this because I know I played some matches that day, yet alone the hundreds of other I played before.

Did you play it with the gamertag/account you currently have?

Have you recently changed your gamertag?


Yea I played it with RaptorShinRyu, my one and only gamertag.

And I changed my Gamertag around early 2009 so that's not really recent.

Damn sounds unlucky, try to play it and keep it there and keep refreshing the page until it comes up or something.

Dear Sawnose,

I have been playing Halo for years, and just for the flair for halo 1, I bought the halo pc version :)
However, I played Halo 2 many times on this account but I don't use it anymore, I would really like to have the halo 2 flair on my other account but seeing as I never played a halo of halo 2 on it...well yeah.

I would appreciate it so much if it were possible to give me the oppritunity to have it, I even bought halo 2 pc just cause :)

Well, get back to me when ever its convient, please and thank you!

Thanks for reading my signature!

It worked! IT WORKED!!! WWOOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!

I just typed it in exactly as it is on the sticker, and succsess.

  • 09.02.2010 5:02 AM PDT

Oh well, looks like all the people who played since day 1 is screwed and all the people who go out and buy the game when all the sudden it becomes important gets the goods and we the gamers with terrible organization have to go out and buy another copy.

  • 09.02.2010 6:07 AM PDT

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."
