Subject: I have a Halo Mac CD, but lost the manual/CD Key. What do I do?

"When I grow up, I want to be a man-cannon."

"You know you've been playing too much Halo when, after your friend sneezes 4 times, your first thought is, 'Overkill!' "

I have a Halo for Mac CD that I purchased way back when it was first released. However, in the years since then I've lost the manual that came with the game, and in the process lost the CD key. In the recent rush for everyone acquiring nameplates for Halo: Reach, I've heard a rumor that I can contact Microsoft, Macsoft, Gearbox Software, or even Bungie with the numbers on the inside circle of the Halo CD and that they would be able to reply with the CD's original key, or at least a replacement CD Key. Does anyone in the community or any of the moderators know where I need to go to restore my key? I'm not about to stoop to the level of using a keygen or stealing someone else's key when I have a perfectly legitimate copy of Halo mocking me on my desk.

Well if you still have your CD and can read the Serial Number on the disk (its in the center around the hole) you can call up MS support and see if they'll give you a new key. Bad news is that some people have reported MS is no longer giving new keys out if you've lost your old one.

Second the keygens for this game use the same 10 keys everytime, thus people in the community have probably already used all those keys or Bungie blocked all of them (You know they do have common sense to do that).

And please don't beg for a key if MS doesn't give you one, because everyone will flame you here (just a heads up).
Good luck
