Got codes.

Downloading.

 

[The Flash]

Got mine. Too bad I'm at work :/

 

[Ape]

Didn't know you could get codes what

Am i allowed to ask for one on here or is that against the rules

Only asking about asking for a code is against the rules.

Spoiler

Seriously though MS said we can't give codes away or there would be a consequence of some sort. So you are out of luck, sorry

 

[spannicus]

Got dat beta dog

 

[hwalker84]

I hope it's auto downloading. Just got my codes. Would like to play one or two matches before I have to head to my Christmas party.

 

[Digital Limit]

Hahahaha, Ninja goes "FUS ROH DAH BABY GROUND POUND!" after landing right on a kid's head.

So good. I love some of the medals in this game, too. BXR and Perfect Kill feel great.

 

[Spasm]

You can redeem in the message area on the console, but I can see why this would be cool. Hell, that SHOULD be how it is. What if you're not home, and you wanted to get the download started?

Exactly. But I also can't figure out where to enter a code into Smart Glass. So, oh well.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

While you gaf wait for the download to finish, here is a beast song to listen to Enjoy!!

Did you redeem the codes? That's how I get things to download when I'm away.

[T.O.P]

wow. Really wish I was a member of the preview program. Many GAF members have put my gt in over the last few months but I'm still not in it. It hurts seeing 5 of my friends playing Halo 5 on my list.

Spoiler

If anyone wants to give me an extra though anyway..........

 

[RedEther]

Finally got my code aw yiss

RIP Halo

 

[PhatSaqs]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

 

[Caayn]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

One for the Beta, the other one as an activation code.

 

[T.O.P]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

One for the download the other to unlock it afaik

 

[Head.spawn]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

One to download the beta, one to allow access to actually play the beta.

 

[yLEFTy]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

One downloads the beta the other unlocks early access

 

[PhatSaqs]

Ah ok. Thanks.

 

[Freeser]

Is everyone getting two codes? If so why?

The second one says "special invitation".

Servers must be slammed cause my DL is crawling it seems. 85% to go.

Watching the IGN stream the player just got killed because he was sprinting with the sword and didn't let his shield recharge. So...

 

[PAULINK]

[BTM]

Gotz me code!

 

[Thursday War]

[Twin Tails]

10 GB

 

[Blimblim]

We are live and playing even more terribly than anticipated, but at least our stream is 60 fps (on gamersyde only, twitch is 30 fps):

[Sou Da]

RT has a point, what happens when you ground pound a vehicle?

 

[purg3]

Wooo just got my codes

 

[Spades]

Shhh, hardcore Halo fans don't like this sort of optimism!

 

[barneystuta83]

35%

I am hyped.

 

[RdN]

Very slow here, 2mb/s on average. Still 15%.

 

[Ape]

Yeah, I don't think that the first hour of the pre-beta beta is a good indication of how you should be playing Halo 5. Let people learn the hard way that sprinting non stop is probably going to lose you br battles.

 

[yankeehater]

Expecting to get my ass handed to me, but I'll be on once I get a code later today!

If anyone wants to form a team feel free to add me

GT: Yankeessuck193

Holy shit my GT is yankeeh8er. I will definitely add you. I just got my code.

 

[T.O.P]

The Halo Hype


I can feel it!

 

[Bossniak]

Stuck at 6% for a while.

 

[ryan299]

I get 25-30 mbs and I'm only on 6%. it's taking a while

 

[Wubbys]

Should I restart my modem or is everyone having slow speeds?

 

[Freeser]

35%

I am hyped.

What the hell? You have a gigabit connection? I have a 175/175mbps connection and I'm only at 17%. Time to hard start.

[Ape]

yeah, my great download speeds have been destroyed by all of you trying to get into the beta. could you guys all pause your download for a couple mins?

 

[ShogunX]

Damn you weren't kidding!

50-12....that was rough.

''You should target ze ed''

 

[Rembrandt]

goddamn, I'm stuck at 10%. come on.

 

[KeyboardThug]

Its moving so slow on my 60mbs connection. Everyone else stop downloading so I can finish.

 

[Noobcraft]

27%...

 

[RoKKeR]

Download crawling. Watched The Sprint though, very cool video series.

 

[thuway]

Yes, people who have MCC will have to wait until we beta test the alpha test.
