Subject: Halo Reach Bonus Content (Recon Helmet)Wont Show Purchase After Downlo

I got a prepaid halo reach bonus content card for the recon helmet, does download, but when i go into armory to get the recon helmet, says I have to purchase the recon helmet with 100,000 credits. I have contacted XBox live on this subject and they havent figured out what the problem is?

Can anyone help on this? I have cleared cache, signed in and out, downloaded bunch of times, but still wont recognize the purchase of the recon helmet by the prepaid code.

XBox live suggest I contact bungie.net. If need be, where do I find forums to file on the issue with bungie net.

Thanks if anyone can help. joe

The code is just an attachment, not the actual helmet

You probably bought a used code.

How embarrassing.



The code was for the recon helmet with the attachment. In order to get the helmet without said attachment, you need to earn 100000 cr to obtain it.

No, the code wasnt used, on back of the card, was sealed, I had to tear off the little tab to see and use the code.

I am logged in live, so thats not the problem.

When i contacted xbox live, they said i wasnt the only 1 having a problem with this code, alot more people were having same problem, the code wouldnt activate.

Saying that, my nephew got a card similar to this, his worked. When I was offline and had hero ranking, which bungie wouldnt let me have online, (had to go back to sergeant ranking-which this is the part that bugs me about bungie and xbox-i have seen some guys on xbox live with generated hacking upgrades. I have hit with dmr headshots-3-4 times, they dont die, but 1 hit on my helmet, boom im dead half the time). I have never hacked and xbox live was trying to explain that to bungie but they still wouldnt give me at least half ranking of what i had built up. Like I had 550,000 plus credits i didnt use yet, but lost all that too.

Anyway, xbox live says alot of people are having trouble with this code or similar to it. And I had a code for recon helmet like this one when I had the hero ranking offline and that code worked.

So, whats the deal? Shouldnt I at least get another code that works or something in credits or extra armor etc.. since this code isnt working?

Just frustrating though when your playing the game and you see hackers in the game with extra armor, helmet stuff, but you didnt. You worked like a year getting that Hero ranking and bungie wouldnt let you use it online. And now their code isnt working for the recon helmet.

The problem is that you actually care about an asthetic piece of DLC armor for a 2 year old game. Its not even a full different helmet! Anyway the codes were meant to be used only by people who bought the special edition at game launch. Not for people who buy it from a secondary market 2 years after the game came out. Its not really their fault. You should have bought it with the Special edition it came with 2 years ago if you care so much. I seriously doubt any will give a -blam!- if you have the exclusive attachment for a helmet in a 2 year old game.

Do you really need the armor to enjoy the game?

Does the Recon helmet code have an expiry date?

  • 08.20.2012 10:48 AM PDT

Ok recon helmet does not have expire date, I looked on console memory and no bungie pro listed in file. So, now what?

I am beginning too wonder if this card, is just an upgrade for recon helmet, not the recon helmet itself. anyone have idea?

How do i find the form to send to bungie net on this card not working, and that xbox live cant solve the issue.

Someone made the card and their suppose to account for the card right or give me another card that works?

You were told that in this thread already dude.
:/

Not how to find forum form to send to bungie.net to file on the prepaid card and why its not working. I found out, my nephew got the same type card and his is working. So, its something wrong with the code, like others are having, and that is on the company that made the prepaid card.

My nephew's card is the same type as mine. Others have complaned about the card not working too. So, thats is an issue with bungie.net and microsoft.

Do I expect them to honor the card, yes. This prepaid card was mentioned in the outside of the box that you get a prepaid card when you bought this game. And was inside the box.

Now why its not working I dont know, thats why i was asking for help on this forum.

To me if you provide a service which bungie net and microsoft gave out these prepaid cards, then yes they should be honored.

Main reason i didnt want to purchase the recon helmet with my own credits i built up in the game. I wanted to save those credits for other items. And if you get all helmets, purchase them, then at end of selection you get the skeleton face to add to your collection of helmets, but you have to purchase all the helmets.

Why the code isn't working, I don't know (perhaps you tpyed it in wrong?) however the code is not for the Recon helmet itself but for an attachment.

Now, to obtain the haunted helmet you need the rank Inheritor which is 30,000,000cR (roughly) in total and you'll have purchased everything in your armoury by the time you reach Nova rank. The Recon attachment you get by using the code does not affect getting the Haunted Helmet in any way.

  • 08.20.2012 6:35 PM PDT

Man just give up. I know your upset but its just an attachment for a helmet in a 2 year old game. Bungie isnt even responsoble for Reach anymore, and I doubt 343 has a cache of codes to give to people like you.

YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BUY IT AT LAUNCH AND USE THE CODE DURING LAUNCH.

IT WASNT INTENDED TO BE SOLD FROM A SECONDARY MARKET 2 YEARS LATER.

IF YOU BUY IT IT WILL BE UNFAIR TO PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT AT LAUNCH.

WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE?

HERO ISNT EVEN A HIGH RANK.

THAT ATTACHMENT ISNT EVEN REQUIRED FOR THE HAUNTED HELMET.

NO ONE WILL EVEN CARE IF YOURE WEARING IT, MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO STILL PLAY THIS GAME ARE DEDICATED PLAYERS WHO HAD THAT HELMET 2 YEARS AGO AND DITCHED IT FOR OTHER HELMETS AFTER THE FIRST WEEK.

STOP -blam!-ING.
