I cap fools.

You've been fans of the series since the very beginning. Thoughts/ feelings on not getting a tangible reward for that in the last Halo game.

Only for PC & Mac users.

But I already claimed mine. Heh.

Leave it to Bad Bob

I'm peeved!
I have the original Halo game on disc, and I bought it again from Xbox Originals when the disc broke! :(

Life is interesting...

Yeah, I remember playing it on day one before school. It was the coolest thing ever back then. Even playing it now, there are so many memories. I feel kinda ripped off from this.

Apparently, since Bungie is no longer part of Microsoft, they no longer have access to records of GTs that downloaded copies of CE from the Games on Demand XBL Marketplace, being relatively sensitive data.

The reason they can track gameplay of Marathon is because that is from XBL Arcade gaming, which the creator/publisher of a game will always be able to view sales statistics for.

Obviously, there is no way to truly validate owning a game copy of CE - but since many of the PC keys are being bought for the flair and never actually being played, there's not a huge amount of difference between that and downloading it from XBL GoD just for the flair.

So yeah, I'm miffed and disappointed at this as well :(

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.
(Proud LONGTIME owner of the PC and Xbox versions of Halo CE)

I have Halo CE for both Xbox and PC....I do play the xbox version more and play CE for the online play. Sure I played Halo CE on the Xbox first from the beginning and I still play it today but there is no way for Bungie to give the flair to Xbox users unfortunately. I myself would be peeved if I didn't already own the PC version.

It does suck that the xbox version does not count, when I got my 360 I went out and bought a new copy of Halo CE for the xbox because I never had an original xbox but played the game at a friends house all the time. I was thinking about asking if I could drive to the Bungie studios as I only live about 45min from Bellevue, if me showing up with the game in hand does not prove I own the game I do not know what would.
