Halo: Combat Evolved PC Owners To Get a Halo: Reach Treat

I think I still have mine too, crazy - fond memories of sniping punks with a pistol on Hang 'Em High.
 
I wonder what we get.

Maybe they are trying to get more pc gamers to play halo reach and a new console since they can't convince pc gamers any other way.

Yay, awesome news for me.

AGH! I knew I should've bought Halo CE on the PC.

" I played it in its prime.
 

 Best offers? :D "

" So what happens if we played Halo 2 online AND have a Halo CE code? will we get two different 'visual flares'? As they said Halo 2 players get a 'visual flair' also  "

awsome now were did i put my copy of halo for the pc

Oh. Cool. Good thing I still have that thing sitting right one top of the PC.

Wait.... So what do you get for authenticating your serial key? All it says is "visual flair"...

" It kind of annoys me that this is for the PC version of Halo: CE. If you were a hardcore fan you'd have the Xbox version from a year (or was it two?) prior to the PC version. I guess it's impossible for them to validate Xbox versions of the game :( "

" Another reason why I hate PC gamers. "

 Halo: Reach is a 360 only game, I don't see how this is any benefit to PC gamers.

They're just trying to make a quick buck getting rid of the unsold copies of Halo CE.

How stupid. What self respecting PC gamer even has a 360 anymore, much less an inclination to bother with Reach?

"Yes, they've said they will be different.  Although they also said it will likely be a symbol beside your name in the lobbies, similar to the Bungie.net bonuses.  So you wouldn't even be able to have both active at the same time. "

That's kind of cool. If you were way into Halo CE, you bought a PC copy when it came out, because it was the only version with online play.
 
I played a ton of Combat Evolved's multiplayer... but all I remember is Blood Gulch and indestructible warthogs. I've got to take my copy of CE off the shelf though, so my friends don't try to steal my key when I'm not looking...

If it ends up being a stupid symbol next to the name they should say more clearly now instead of 'visual flare'. I doubt people would get so worked up about a symbol. Personally I thought they ment something similar to the flaming helmets. "

Any word on if us Halo: Combat Evolved Mac owners count for this? I still got my copy sitting around here somewhere.

Sweet! I knew buying Halo:CE for the PC was a good idea.

Out of all the random things in my house, I have this.

I love cross game promotions like this.

Awesome Sauce

Yes al the way from the equatorial of halo.

I don't see how ones will be notified if no email address was entered.

I wonder what this could be.

It's pretty cool to make a call back to such an old game like that.

I understand Halo1, but why not Halo 2 as well? It would be even easier as it's GFWL game. 

Recon Armor!

Halo 2 PC. I know Bungie said they didn't make the port, so they don't care. But Halo1 on PC/Mac was done by Gearbox, not Bungie. So it doesn't make much sense to me.

While I would say that the inclusion of this "feature" is nice to offer to hardcore Halo fans or people who are very well-organized, I think this is going to be swept under the rug very quickly.  When Reach is getting closer to release, the focus is going to be on the actual game and what it offers in its original contents and this "treat" will unfortunately be overlooked.

I lost my halo PC game a long, long time ago. Good thing I wasn't really planning on buying Reach. We "won't get fooled again" after halo 3.

Crap, I have the game, but I have no idea if I ever went online with it. I'm not way into Halo multiplayer, but bonus stuff is always nice to have.

Bombastic!

mehh

Hm......Halo has come a long way from CE.

" Crap, I have the game, but I have no idea if I ever went online with it. I'm not way into Halo multiplayer, but bonus stuff is always nice to have. "

And I found my code... Now I the wait for Reach is even more unbearable.

That's cool.

Man, I feel obnoxious that this is at sitting in my parents' house.

FFFFFUUUUU- why is it NOW that I have computer that can run it (could probably run crysis now actually)

mmm. Now I have to look for my old copy.

I just wish they had this for Halo 2 on PC.

This is awsome, just found my old copy the other day!

How about  releasing Halo3 for PC? That would be a real bonus for PC gamers!

Now that is a cool thing for all Halo PC owners!! Makes me want to get out my old Halo PC version ;)
