DIdnt have to pre order at walmart to get Spec Ops

Post » Mon Dec 27, 2010 5:32 pm

I had a feeling this would happen cuz its happened in the past, not just with walmart but with some games that require a pre order to get a package and then it just happens to be on the inside of the game even though you didnt order. Just wanted to let anyone know that might not of picked it up yet, If you were thinking about getting the walmart one you might end up getting the spec ops pack just going to the store and picking it up.

Jesus, really? I thought this would happen. This is idiotic. You can't get your copy early but you can get a pre-order bonus pack without pre-ordering WAY TO GO SUPPLIERS!!!

This is how it usually is, and probably will always be

The first shipment, note: THE FIRST SHIPMENT, THE VERY FIRST BOX of the game will contain said pre-order bonus

So the Spec ops is just a normal part of the game? I'm not quite understanding. Is the Psycho pack in there too or did this guy just get a random fluke?

I seem to have a "Murphys Law" With these kinda things. It seems every time I preorder and "exclusive" I never turns out to be exclusive...but as soon as I miss out on that one I think "Oh, they'll just give it to everyone" It never comes out.

I hate liars and I'm really, really starting to hate the game industry now.

No, it is in the damn casing, the first shipment, let's say.. 100 units will have the code, the next shipment - the next 100 units wont have the code

The first shipment of the came contains game-cases with the code unless they have the codes sent to the stores to be handed out by hand

Some games do that - send codes to stores to be handed out by hand, some do not

Ummm if people would have read everything right when they first announced the special packs, they weren't called pre-order bonuses, they were store bonuses, everyone just assumed you had to pre order them and then called them pre order bonuses, they are just a first shipment bonus kind of thing

So do the different versions of the game have unique UPCs?

The one I got from Best Buy is 0 93155 11701 3 (360 version). Even Half.com has this UPC listed.

Oh I see. But to get Spec ops you still have to be one of the first to get it at Walmart then, right? Its not like I could go to game stop, get their Bonus and low and behold the Specops is in there too, right?

Exactly, Foxxyman

GameStop got their own shipment with BRINK units containing the game and their designated code-pack, so they will now have the SpecOps unless they had the LIMITED EDITION one, which contains DOOM and SpecOps

lol, you're saying two things there without realizing it lol. So, right now, day one, hour one...If I walk into a Gamestop and buy a regular edition (US didn't get LTD.ED) I will get both the Spec ops and Doom pack? or just the Doom pack?

Aight, I'll try again then - for I didn't do anything wrong, but I will see if I can make it clearer, I also did not know you guys did not get the 2-code pack casings

Let's say GameStop got the Fallout pack, and Wal-mart got the SpecOps pack

You walk into Wal-mart and buy a copy, no pre-order, just buy a copy from the first shipment - you'll get the SpecOps code

You walk into GameStop and buy a copy, no pre-order, just buy a copy from the first shipment - you'll get the Fallout code

The codes are inside the casings, not handed out by the employees by hand, so the first shipment of BRINK to that retailer will contain the code for more items, the next one however will not, those will just contain the game

GAAAH!!! Now you get the Fallout at gamestop and NOT the DOOM Pack *head explodes* :ahhh:

lol Joking...I know what you mean now. You're original phrasing was justa bit confusing but there you have internet language versus intent again (the same battle wages everyday with txt msgs with girlfirends across the country saying "What the Heck do you mena by that!?") :rofl:

But I get you now, o.k. Thats for clearing that up.

For anyone wondering about the fallout pack at Gamestop, he meant to say Doom pack at Gamestop, not Fallout lol...but we're all human here hehe.

Here where I live it's Fallout for GameStop, there is some weird-ass [censored] going on, but I believe you, multiple people have said this now that I think back ''gamestop fallout n shizz'' and all that

Glad I could help, Anarchyfox
