Desperation? Of what fucking kind? That they aren't making enough money to cover losses, or out of envy that Sony is beating the absolute shit out of them right out of the gate again?

I get that there's a perceived need for damage control and all but honestly all they're doing is more damage, and if they just shut the fuck up and release some actual games for it that would've served them so much better.

Not sure where they got H3/H4 XB1 but hey, if we're going to go crazy
One would say it's necessitated by lack of backwards compatibility - developers have to make entirely new games to support the Xbone. Another would also say it's sucker bait for people legitimately stupid enough to buy the same game twice to save them the trouble of switching cords around. At the very least I would hope they release most or all of them in bundles, but it's not like I give a shit. Halo for me died an undignified death sometime around Reach.

...speaking of, it doesn't appear like they're porting Reach? Curious.

Wasn't Reach practically the most popular and best selling game on the 360 anyway? They're going to port the entire franchise (sans Wars also, apparently, because people were too dumb to really enjoy that) EXCEPT for the one everyone wants?

Pretty obvious, ain't it? The game that no one actually bought, of course :D

All stupid joking aside, Reach was probably my favourite. 4 is fucking terrible. The multiplayer's fun though. But good online does not a good game make.

So yea, go get fucked, Microsoft. Stop whoring out the Halos now that Bungie's washed itself clean of your filth. And then dived head first into Acti's filth. But we're not talking about those guys. Yet.

No it's a trick question because neither of those 2 games are cared for as much as a Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 5. Halo 5 being delayed is something people seem to be okay with so long as Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer is similar if not the same (minus some obvious remaking/feel in looks, mechanics, fixes to super jumps and bxr, the latter of which is actually possible now without fucking up the game itself). A delay to Halo 5 makes people assume that they're doing this to get the game worked on some more and polished (it is Microsoft though lol), which is something that seems to not be a problem for the majority of Halo fans. But yea, when you see people posting that they'll get an XBox One just for this game it definitely is something being whore'd out that anybody who played Halo 2 online is fine with in this case. Yea it's alienating the others who didn't but what else can I say other than try it out and see why people liked it so much if you never have?

Nobody will deny what Halo 4 was and is, especially those who played Halo when Bungie was still in charge. 343i has some serious shit to make up for but I personally wouldn't be too worried.

The Rumor is that there will be a version of H2A that will include all of the previous games in the Mister Chief era to bring them all to the One.

I hope it's cheap like H1A was.

EDIT EDIT: Actual transcript follows:

Quote:
 

Xbox Support: Can I ask why you're not at your console enjoying your Xbox Console and Many Multiplayer games?

Me: Because I'm working to pay for them

Xbox Support: "Due to the fact your old payment option was removed you cannot renew your subscription until it expires"

Me: Oh you mean the one that was compromised in the Target incident here in the United States? Bite me.

Xbox Support: Please Understand.

Xbox Support: We can return one month of the 2 left on your subscription and then add the 12 month card you're trying to add now, unfortunately we cannot give a 2 month refund

Me: So I should just go buy a PS4?

MS Support sucks, congrats wasting your time.

That's bullshit. You CAN renew it whenever you want and not wait until it expires (even if you disabled auto-renew). What were your gold cards already redeemed or invalid? How long you have them for? If not long then that's just unlucky. Once the card is bought though any random joe putting in random digits/numbers could get it redeemed (small chances but around Christmas time especially you hears stories about this shit). Your transcript starts with the MS Support saying why you're not playing your console?! That can't fucking be true because if you open up like that you seriously get fired. What's the 2 month refund you want though? Basically spoiler it even if it's too big but I'd like to see the whole conversation (if that is the whole conversation then I call bullshit).

And the code doesn't work? Seriously? How is that possible I JUST renewed mine for an extra year a few weeks ago to add on top of my current year.

It "works" (IE It's valid) but my account is in some weird holding state because my subscription was backed by my old debit card that got deactivated due to the Target hacking incident over the holidays and that card was removed from my microsoft account, since that "backing" is no longer there I can't add on to that time.

TL;DR: Bullshit.

Manage your payment options and remove the card. If it still stays there then either connect another card (or paypal account if you pref) is needed and just remove the other payment options. Try again and hopefully it should work.

Nope, because the original backing card is gone the subscription is considered "orphaned" and can only be renewed at this time by cancelling the current subscription and then adding the new card.

Well then I don't know if that's something new but you're personally getting man-handled by them. That was never the case for me and I had to switch 2 CCs (debit being one of them) with my account. Never did that happen to me in my 9 years of Live and this a first I'm hearing at all that you can't just add PRE-PAID POINTS because it's not done yet.


Seeing as how your case is this weird, just wait the 2 months (pretend you're waiting on a game release for the PS4 if you really want) and then renew. This is too funny though because the most simple of things became so complex that even I don't even know what else to tell you man lol.
