Subject: Applying for Halo 4 specialization codes.

I just posted on the waypoint forums that I never got my specialization codes. A moderator directed me to this thread http://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst155922p1606_The-Offi cial-Specializations-Email-Thread.aspx

EDIT: Figured it out. You have to go into your account settings and change them so that you get microsoft partnering emails and microsoft promotional emails. The default is on off so if you didn't change them before the 20th you don't get your code. Anyone else find this really -blam!- that 343 mentions something like this in the Halo 4 FORUM and not on their damn homepage.

I'm pretty sure you just had to play before the 20th, although people in Europe and a few other places won't be receiving codes at all.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Codes shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Actually im reading through the thread and I guess you have to go into your account and change the settings so that you "opt in for microsoft promotional offers" and right now mine is on the default which is off. Kind bull-blam!- that 343 didn't communicate this better. Also I played before the 20th thinking this was all I had to do.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Whelp! That makes sense why I never got it.

No you don't, they fixed that and sent it out to people that aren't opted in. They sent them already. Check your email or Xbox Live messages, if you didn't get it then you probably didn't play before the 20th on that account.

Played all night on the 6th of November. Checked email. Checked email spam. Checked xbox message center. Nothing.

The emails have already been sent out. You will most likely not get it because you shouldve received it via XBOX Message if you really did qualify.

They aren't handing out any more because they are going to start releasing the specializations on their original timetable.
