Halo 4 unlock specializations

No probs with code here in New Zealand =)

lucky

i contacted xboxlive they said 343 is still sending out codes until the 4th and to contact them if u didnt get one by the 4th

My wife and some other family has already got the code, yesterday actually, and i still have yet to get it, i called support and all they say is be patient, and if you don't get the code by tomorrow night call back, where i will probably get the same thing, be patient. I just don't understand why some people have the code and some doesn't, I've heard it was being disbursed alphabetically, but my email starts with a and my wife's with d and she got it, and every time a moderator says anything, they just copy and paste what everyone else is saying, which is no help. If there is a problem with the email system, say it, I can honestly say if they would actually come out and say there is a problem, we are trying to fix it, just stay with us, I guarantee 99.9% of the people would be more understanding, but the secrecy and hiding is what is making people mad, very unprofessional if you ask me. We would just like to know what's going on and when we can expect our codes, so please let is know.  

On the upper right hand corner of this page click on "My Account" then, under the Payment and Billing Header click on "Billing Contact Information." The e-mail address listed in this section is the address that any qualifying codes would have been sent to.

If you have checked your billing information e-mail address, including spam/junk folders and you still have not received an email here are a couple explanations as to perhaps why;

-

You're not in an eligible country. Not every country is eligible for this promotion.

-

The age of the associated gamertag is under 17. You must be 17 or older to receive a code.

-

You did not play Halo 4 online before 12:00AM November 21st US Eastern time.

-

There are other possible reasons, but if you have not received a code by now you will not be receiving one. ALL CODES HAVE BEEN SENT.

Well, if there are as many people as it appears that were supposed to get codes that didn't, 343 and/or Microsoft shat the bed. They better do something to fix this so that EVERYONE who is supposed to get the codes, gets the code. It's not that hard. They effed up, bad.

I Still don't have one

Way to tell us something we've already known and have known for a while? Let's see, I live in the US, I'm 18 and my profile is an adult account, I played online war games since Nov. 6th, and I don't have my code in my billing email.

i never got no email and my email hasnt never changed i pretty pisted off

so anyone with LE halo4 plz text me with a extra unlocl specialization and lvl 70 cap plz pm me at dy503 thx been lvl sr70 for least a week and dont want to play if i am capped might well play different game

I wasn't the one assuming everyone in this thread was a complete idiot who didn't know the requirements of the promotion and therefore didn't qualify? You were acting like none of us knew this or qualified, when that's not the case. And your post wasn't helpful either, all I see is "NO U DIDNT GET CODZ CUZ U DINT MEET THEZ QUALIFIKATIONS/THEY'RE IN UR JUNK MAIL IM SUR BOUT IT."

Gets pretty old dude, there's already a hundred of your posts. We could use something new here.

There looks like 343 is looking into it. Something useful, 'ambassador.' Don't see how you deserve that when the moment someone calls you out on being wrong you freak out and call them names.

Oh, never mind. I guess the I didn't make the date cutoff. Ah well. 

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who didn't get an email.

On a side note, on the off chance that it went into my spam folder and got deleted automatically without me ever even seeing it, is there any way for ask for the email to be resent?

Microsoft refuses to resend codes. They'll be on the marketplace soon.

Imagine the profit loss if they did resend them!

Been playing since day 1 and still nothing... wtf

There's a chance that they might've sent it to an old email you haven't used in a while, seems like one of the main questions customer support is asking when people bring it up is if the account holder had a different email at some point.

Calls me out on being wrong? I wasn't wrong about anything. I was reposting information because people don't read. I didn't say everyone who didn't get codes was ineligible, but a lot of people have posted that were never supposed to get the codes in the first place. And if people did read there wouldn't currently be 20 topics about this or a thousand posts asking if they have sent all the codes already or how they can get the codes resent. Black Box just posted before he even found out if he was eligible. He just found out he wasn't and edited his post, but most people don't even check.  

i got mine and i am only a level 35 so they are all locked up till i finish the "achievement" .....whatever the achievement is

The Halo 4 waypoint forums are a circus right now lol they should have just A: made all of the specializations available at launch or B: Came out with an update for the game to where everyone got it on the 1st

I know seriously. So they make everyone pay for the others if they aren't eligible and only get TWO damn specializations for free? Then they make everyone go through this unlock code crap? They really couldn't just have them unlock in game without having to do this? Money grubbing ***

I dont think that 343 knew how big of a community Halo is until now, I mean IMO I think they knew Halo 4 was going to be big and the fan base was going to be big (cause its Halo) but when they released it I dont think they were expecting to have so much people and feedback so this Specialization thing they really didnt think through all to well.

True... This whole specialization thing just makes no sense to me at all. I would like to know who said "wait guys...guys ... you guys listen.... why dont we...guys listen... why dont we make 3/4 of the specializations locked....no guys wait listen.... lets make 3/4 of the specializations locked and force players to buy them if they don't play in the first month. Oh and lets make them receive codes to unlock them instead of doing it in game.... yea we'll just send out like 5 million emails for the codes."

-and not one damn person realized how idiotic this was and put a stop to it.....

i am still amazed that (as far as i could find) nowhere does halo tell you what is that you must do to, to achieve the "achievement"  ....

I wasn't surprised either. Until my 6 hour ban became a week ban....then the week ban became a 2 week ban. Deserving I guess but it was all fun and games in the thread about Palmer not being in the latest Episode.

Well gotta love how everything must be politically correct right? They really expect everyone to be nice to each other on the internet?

Pwnyville, if you're still around I need to apologize. Something about your post made me lose my mind. I shouldn't have resorted to petty name calling. I'm sorry.

As far as being an ambassador, yeah I already requested to be removed from the program last week. It just hasn't gone through yet. When I go a couple weeks without sleeping I lose my brain to mouth (or keyboard) filter. Sorry again, man.

Who cares. The specializations aren't that big of a deal anyway. About to hit SR80 and I hardly use the special abilities.

Bro im 22 years old

Played halo 4 on the 10th of November

its not in my junk folder, nor spam folder

my email preferences are set so that i can get the code

they might just be lazy bout it cause i paid $65 it was a pre order

im sorry bro but your theory is incorrect

got a real question.... got the unlock code sent to me on my xbox live account not my email....it has no link for where i'm supposed to enter this code can someone please tell me where

I got that yesterday too the exact same way as you.  Hit your guide button and go to "redeem code".   Then you should be all set.  :)

OR you can go to the PM that was sent you on xbox.com and copy that from your PC. Then go to "My account" then "redeem code" and paste it in there. Much faster and 100% accurate that way.  :)

many thanks guy!

Hey guys...sorry if I'm posting incorrectly or whatever, but I've yet to receive a specializations code in my messenger or email, and I meet all of the requirements for eligibility. Any chance I can still receive one?

At this point I think its a waiting game for most people. You could always try to contact 343. Give them your gamertag and e-mail and see if they will send you a code.  Worth a try.
