They're giving out free DLC codes! All you gotta do is replace the "?" with the correct letter or number and voila.

Be fast though cause there's only like 20 codes (not that the forum seems really active).

I got both DLC for free this way :iamafag:

I think seeing as there was only 20 of those codes available that you would not be greedy and take both. :P way to save some for the rest of us.

Not trying for any, Lightning apparently has them already so no biggie.

I just got lucky and found this one minute after they were posted!
To Bob: you gotta go to xbox.com and go to "My Account", then redeem code.

The "?" has gotta be guessed correctly though.

I missed it =(

If someone feel bored and is trying to free redeem codes, there are 808,281,277,464,764,160,159,373,912,750,935,293,37 6 (over 800,000 decillion)possible combination of 26 letters and 10 numbers for a 25 digit code. =P I was bored and did the calculation by hand. I hope I got the majority correct XD

I wonder how many codes they've printed and how many of those has been used. If you got one correct by random, good for you! You're the luckiest bitch on the planet.

Too bad the DLC sucks and Halo Wars is mediocre (and has shitty cutscenes).

The first DLC expansion was a nice touch with the new game modes which retrofitted to the original maps. However, the in-game sequences are just fucking annoying and need to be SKIPABLE like their cutscene counterparts :|

Cutscenes were good CGI work. Didn't feel Halo at all. Except that one where it shows all the Spartans running past the camera on the ground and the music started playing. That was the only real "Cooool" factor for me.

Nice touch, yes. Worth 800 points for something that should have been in the game to start with? Hell fucking no.

YSRApMhs_-k

Okay, see this? You see this?

Nobody with a will to live fights like that. Nobody. Why in gods fucking name would you stand with your entire torso sticking up over your cover, firing a shotgun from the hip at far away enemies?

WHY would the Elites, for their part, be walking slowly up to the humans, barely firing their needlers, basically just waiting to die?run on sentence lol

It's not just that one either. All the other cutscenes with combat in them feature this same kind of idiotic bullshit. That's why they suck.

Hmm... maybe you have a point. I just can't stand to see a game bashed that much :X

e: Some of the cutscenes were okay... Some of them. Eh... the CG in the cutscenes was good, and I liked the environments...

What!!? The combat wasn't realistic, in a video game!? Oh no, god no!!

No seriously, the animations and graphic quality was very good. I'd say your just nitpicking, that's a really minor thing to base your judgment of the entire thing on.

Since I didn't really elaborate before, I don't hate Halo Wars on a whole, or even the cutscenes really. I only hate when people rave about how wonderful the fucking things are, when the centerpiece (combat) looks like a bunch of 8 year olds with toy guns.

firing a shotgun from the hip at far away enemies?
Because you have nothing else and you already know that the chances of hitting something at that range with a shotgun are very low?

Obviously.

He's firing at Elites. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that trying to shotgun Elites from far off is just a waste of ammo.

Maybe it was surpressive fire? Sure with a shotgun but that's only gun he had right?

He had a pistol so unless it was the halo 1 pistol it would have been less usefull than the shotgun.
Also look at these scrubs waiting untill now to get the map pack:allears:
Anyone here upto for 2v2 or 3v3 sometime i need to get more people on my list who play this game.

I'm up for some Deathmatch games. However I love playing co-op deathmatch against AI opponents the most, since they feature more diverse armies in general.

Also, the cutscenes in this game were shiny, but oh God, the dialog was so cheesy from time. And as Pooky said, the combat wasn't insanely logical.

minor spoiler alert:
Only 2 cutscenes I liked were the Spartans against the honor guard elites and the escape sequence+exploding planet.

About waiting for the gamemodes+maps untill now: I didn't feel the game modes were worth the 800 MS points from what I heard of them. The maps, after playing, would have been better if sold seperately, as I only like blood river tbh.

I will not be outdone.

You're forgetting that Halo Wars takes place during the first battles with the Covenant, they obviously hadn't worked that out yet. I'm pretty sure that if a projectile from a shotgun hit a human in an unarmored spot at that range it would still do some damage. The shotgun could have also been firing slugs or other more-accurate ammunition such as grenade rounds (http://www.defensereview.com/1_31_2004/FRAG%2012.pdf).

Either way, it doesn't matter since it's the ONLY WEAPON HE HAD. You don't nitpick when you're in a shooting battle, which I'm pretty sure you haven't been (not that I have, just common sense).

IMA SIT HERE AND DO NOTHIN CAUSE MY GUN IS SHITTY GUYS YOU HAVE FUN THO!

I refuse to buy Halo Wars DLC. I don't have a problem with buying H3 DLC, but all of Halo Wars DLC was done before the game shipped. IMO, the point of DLC is to expand on what players want after a game ships, not to sell the rest of the game for more money.
