Halo Reach Thread


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know whether Bungie will be handing out codes through other means or is this restricted to the ODST Beta?

It was initially announced as only ODST and FnF beta. But apparently they provided lots of codes to the press. There has been a flood of beta codes news on HBO (halo.bungie.org).

Just by a used copy of ODST?

Aren't a lot of those around here, then again, I'm not desperate enough to pay for a game I don't want to play, just to get in a Beta.

Can always hope one of those special bungie keys make my way :shiftyninja:

Ohh, there's hope yet :laugh:

Yeah public starts later on. Currently online it says only like 4-5thousand people online.

Not too bad actually.

As for the one comment, if you played Halo 2 YOU WILL NOT GET THE CODE. You NEED Halo 3 to get the code.

Unless you're like myself in the one group where no copy of Halo was needed. Go into marketplace, use code, download, and done.

http://www.justin.tv/illcupcakes/ -- Streaming in HD right now. But plz2notjudgemeh. I haven't played Halo 3 seriously since.. a year and a half ago. I always play COD so right now I suck ballz.

I see flag caputred flag dropped still plays a part

I see, I see. Oh well. Not worth the risk of paying money for a game I don't own anymore. Traded it in.

Ahh! That used to irk me and my buddies to no end. I can still hear that announcer's voice in my head.

I didn't realize that a lot of gaming websites would be giving away beta keys. As for me, I've got my ODST disk collecting dust, so I may as well put it to use :).

Got my beta code(s) too. :)

:cry: I been trying to get mine off Twitter, Websites, and the Microsoft ExpertZone and no luck

I have a hunch that people got thousands of the beta keys off the Microsoft ExpertZone and began tweeting them just for followers... now thats just not fair if thats true

Damn IT! I had a few chances and could of snagged a Code but I didnt because I thought the codes were for people who dont have ODST, not people that can get in on it early. BLAH!!!

But i have ODST, so ill wait till monday, this just means that anytime monday itll be available hopefully.

    • That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.
    • Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too
    • I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
