Halo: Reach Beta Thread

fuck

Please don't do a list in this thread.

Edit: I likely sounded like an asshole... I have no problem with the idea of the list, I just hate how quickly it clutters up a thread.


It was a joke, not gonna happen.
 
whatever happens, if anyone gets a second f&f code PLEASE don't post it on the forums. PM it to whoever you think deserves it. Posting it on the forum risks some lurker to steal it and the actual community not to benefit from it. .

Quoting for emphasis.
 
Kind of off topic but did anyone from Bungie ever address what (and when if its still planned) was going to happen if you had a Halo:CE PC code?

In a world where I had two codes, I would contrive the most labyrinthine and fiendish set of trials and trivia that HaloGAF has ever seen, ultimately rewarding only that faithful fool who was willing to jump through every last one of my ever receding, ever replenishing, and forever flaming hoops.

It would be the Calvinball of giveaway contests.

I always thought something like 'The tenth person to quote this sentence gets a code' would really screw with people. You'd sit there trying to figure out if everyones going to just post as fast as possible and you should too, or if it would be a better move to simply wait a bit in case others do the same. In the end by the time you made up your mind it would most likely already be too late.

Heed these words, for some reason the lurker collective has the supernatural ability to enter xbl codes instantaneously

Wouldn't quite work, but I have several "fastest finger" rounds floating around my head.

That haven't said what, exactly, it will be used for, but just a day or two ago Urk said they'd be talking about it soon.

P.S. Completely Off Topic, anyone else getting this new player on YouTube?

Edit: Ghal, when did you say this thread would reach 6k posts? I think you may have gotten it wrong =P
I had predicted by tomorrow morning, and I thought it was a stretch at the time I said it - that was YESTERDAY, when we were at 4,500. Goodness! :lol

What is this list for?

:lol

It's a list for who will get extra F&F codes from fellow gaffers since many are registered in various contests

There is no list

Does anyone else think that the faint image in the background of welcometonobleteam.com is odd, or am I just paranoid?

my guess is that its a clue to the number and types of ads/videos/short films we're getting in this campaign. right now he is just completing/starting his spartan training. i'm guessing the last one is an officer in noble team. makes me excited for whats to come!
 
Yeah I got the new player too. Personally I think it looks a lot better than the old one :P

Anyways back on topic REACH BETA YEAAAH. Add me to the list? I'll be waiting at ∞+1:lol

If I can't win one I might end up getting ODST. So are Giantbomb,G4, and IGN the only sites that are giving away beta codes?
There are other sites, check hbo I think there is a list over there. Or you could just do what I did and sign up for gamefly. It's only $8 or so for the first month and I'm gonna cancel it when that month is over, which should coincide with the end of the beta.

Hey guys I edit that one welcome to noble team image and well here is what I got.

The first and last symbols are obvious, but I don't recognize the symbol in the middle. It's location on the website makes some design sense, but having part of the image stand out while the other part is hardly visible makes very little sense.

Looks like a bar, like a leveling bar

That's what we tell people who don't know about the list. *Secret eye wink* I still am serious about my deal with Imperial Hot though. And if I have a spare after that (unlikely) I'll prolly throw it to neoism or Blueblur1, whoever I see first.
 
Wow, they're cutting us off much quicker than I'd hoped.

I'd have said this no matter when they planned on ending the beta.
 
Of course it would be Halo CE PC codes.. which I have long since lost. Opposed to my shiny Halo2 PC code (which never gets any love by anyone).
 
man, the beta starts during my finals week and ends so soon :( Oh well, guess I better call in sick from work doing that week I have free.

Wow man, I thought we were Secret List Bros

Not cool =(
 
I think if you want to be apart of the list, you have to share your extra codes to the list. I will give mine if I get any extras.

I don't understand this Giantbomb quest ordeal at all.

Any tips?
Visit all the Halo game pages on their site, visit the
teabagging
concept page, then watch all their Reach videos.

Extremely simple actually.
