Somebody emptied out their inbox without looking.


you say that snidely. can you honestly defend the system they used to do this?


Yes. Because I read my emails before deleting them.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I'm impatient and hate looking at stuff to make sure I'm not screwing myself over before I delete it! therefore the thought of using email to send out codes is stupid!


That made no sense whatsoever and was irrelevant in and of itself.

Are you 12?

I bought the LE and I'm still pissed about the system they used.

Why could this not just be something that you can download off of the store after the deadline? Why do you need a code in your email?

The fact that you can delete your ability to get the code so easily by mistake isn't an example of user stupidity; it's an example of the idiocy of the system in place when there were other, far better alternatives.

343 decided to give people access to all specializations, like they were promised, by sending out email codes.

Yes, but on top of some people just flat out not getting their codes, there are others who have accidentally deleted them.

I don't see why you couldn't just download it from the marketplace when they released, or they would have just unlocked on that day or something. Hell, even giving a code in the case would have been better. That way you make sure you're getting one, at least.

Or even better. The Specializations are included in the game from day 1. Like a real self respecting video game. If you don't have them you are missing what? About half the ranks?

Well yeah, that's obligatory. But since they didn't, they could have at least retained the courtesy to not make the DL system pants-on-head retarded.

You know I really like Halo 4, but 343 has made some bad decisions.

Or even better. They could have just updated the specializations in for the people who played before the 20th. It's really not that hard.

  • 12.04.2012 4:15 PM PDT

I haven't played for a while, please enlighten me on these "specializations".

just because you're too stupid to make up a real argument doesn't mean what I'm talking about is irrelevant. what I was saying is that you're too god damn retarded to actually check your email before blindly deleting it. It's your fault that you didn't read your email and deleted the codes, not 343's, so stop blaming the idea of securely emailing you the codes and making sure it reaches you for what you stupidly did.

You are an idiot.

When did I say I deleted the email? Hmm? Never.

And the reason it is a crappy way of doing it, is because they could do it in a much less stupid way. They could have done it in a secret update. It could have been much better.

Can you possibly think of a non-retarded reason for them doing it like they did?

so 343 can get it to you securely? it's not that -blam!- hard to see the reasoning behind this, also calling me an idiot? you're the one screaming your head off in a baseless argument where all you've said is that it's stupid or retarded, you have no real reasons why you hate it, do you?

now, enjoy your blind hate for a dev's first attempt and have a wonderful day you ignorant brainless douchenozzle.

Never go full retard.

You obviously have no clue what you are talking about and I already told you why I hate how they did it. And how have I been screaming? And who said I hate 343? And how am I ignorant, brainless, or a douchenozzle?

Maybe you should use what ever amount of intellect you have been blessed with to try to understand the obvious logic I have been posting with. And maybe you should try not to be a blind 343 fanboy.

So, again, never go full retard.

I have to admit, that was an impossibly stupid idea.


Beyond impossibly stupid, i saw we burn them, slowly, like an inch or so at a time, starting at the tip of the toes.


Use a GMAW welding machine and weld their legs, then arms, then chest together. Afterwards, you can skin their feet and tie their hands with the skin, then proceed to slowly sear his toes, legs, chest, head and arms with hot coals.

How about someone explaining the (lack of) logic behind locking the specializations? If it was to prevent new players from getting demolished on Christmas, they blew their load way too early. If it was to provide incentive to rush out and buy the game ASAP, they wasted their effort and everyone's time.

This seems like a moronic idea with a moronic solution.

It was an attempt to give pre-order people something extra, but people complained or something and 343 decided to give it to people who played before the 20th. It was stupid of them to make it so easy to level up and have a level cap for most players, and I have no idea what they were thinking there.

I'm guessing they were just trying something out. Which failed.
