Tactics

Your point makes literally zero sense and you have not backed it up with any evidence either. So, what you're actually saying is that everything should be released first in the US and the rest of the world needs to wait? Do me a favour, everything should be fair and equal and the fact that the EU, which has one of the biggest xbox live gaming communities in the world is excluded and expected, as you have so eloquently put it, to basically shut up and wait, is ridiculous.

After going through a number of sources and making sure I understand fully before posting I now understand that in order to get the access to all specialisation codes in the EU you had to pre-order the LE of Halo 4. Now this is all well and good but what about the rest of us? I researched and read a number of topics and posts made by 343i and other sources from halo forums to discover that to gain access to the rest of the specialisation you had to play before 23.59 on the 20th of November. This would then trigger an email to be sent to the email address attached to your online account with a code to unlock them by the 30th of November which then got changed to the 1st of December. All seems ok from here right? Nothing out of the ordinary or unfair? Wrong. Halo 4 Email wrote: ** To receive early access to Specializations, you must purchase Halo 4 Standard Edition and play the game while connected to Xbox LIVE by 11:59:59 P.M.

Europe, Middle East and Africa have been left off of this list while countries such as Singapore, which undoubtedly has a significantly smaller gamer population than the EU have been included. Does this not seem highly unfair to you? Why should so many players be excluded from being able to enjoy the game fully and be forced to buy codes from ebay in order to play the game? I have reached level 70 in less than a month, not only is this ranking system incredibly flawed (too easy to rank up) I have hit my top rank in less than 4 days gametime. The EU, Middle East, Africa and any I may have missed have been sold an incomplete version of the game and I believe this to be truly unfair. I have created this post to act as a petition for those excluded from this offer to be included so we can enjoy the game to its fullest extent. If you agree, please sign.
