Here’s why.

> The fine print says that you must play Halo 4 by 11:59 p.m. EST on November 20. AFTER THAT, "A download code will be sent to the email address associated with your Xbox LIVE account by November 30, 2012.
This answers every single question I’ve seen so far, including but not limited to which email address it will be sent to. (The one associated with your Xbox LIVE account.)
tl;dr
They start sending them November 21st.
Goody, I was only able to play a Spops episode today. Bad internet and all.
Thank you dude A million thanks.
343 is -Yoinking!- limited for doing that. Yes lets make people pay an extra 40 bucks at launch so they can not be level capped… selfish bull -Yoink-
> Thank you dude A million thanks.
Glad I could help.
Are there other sources that give the same information, I don’t like to trust one source just cause it said ‘this’ and ‘that’, and that is the only one thats being posted on the forums.
Not to mention they have the specializations wrong in the article.
Not to mention, though doesn’t apply to me, what will happen to people who buy the game after the 20th? I guess it’ll suck for them to not get their full package.
Edit: just realized, not to mention, I like to say not to mention
Why do we need a code from an e-mail? Are they incapable of implementing the unlock via their updates, what a waste of time and effort.
I agree with you both more than you understand!

It is a marketplace item for LE users, so why not post the ‘exclusive’ download on the public marketplace, set the price to ‘free’, that seems alot more simple, less manwork, and more well thought out and for people who pick up and play well after the 20th
is it true that you have to be at least SR50 to receive the codes?
I got halo 4 console edition will i get an email too im 70 since last week and i stop to play because i got a couple commendation near to max out cant wait to get back … And thx for posting this ive been searchin for an hour about that

Judging by the half of a million topics about this, people are quick to scan anything and run with it. Just catering to the laziness and ignorance of the impatient, that’s all. :3

You paid the extra money for the limited edition collector stuff. If you spent $40 just so you could rank up faster, that is sad.
> is it true that you have to be at least SR50 to receive the codes?
If so, then they will send it to you when you hit 50 regardless. What would be the point of condemning those not yet SR-50 to post-Nov. 20th purchase setbacks?
So many impatient people
Remember you can only do one Specialisation at a time, and as someone working on his 2nd Specialisation now and having the LE edition, not all of them are that fantastic
But look great!
> is it true that you have to be at least SR50 to receive the codes?
Nope. Those who play before 20th will receive the code.
How could they even know who purchased LE?
> How could they even know who purchased LE?
When they enter their code to unlock all of the specializations at start, rather than on November 21st.
