Not really. Each code gives you a set amount of games that will give you double XP. Enter them all at once or separately, it doesn't matter. Just go to dewxp.com and link it up to your XBL account, and you're set. Make sure not to quit any of your double XP matches, though!

No, I think I got it. Thanks!
So, I'm now a proud owner of Halo 4. Had to fight super thick crowds and lines to get it, but it was worth it. Got 20 bucks back on Halo 4, and also saved like 45 dollars on XBox Live codes.

RE: Halo 4 Official Thread
Alright guys, update on my thoughts on Halo 4.
Almost finished beating the campaign on Legendary solo, and I even managed to LASO the first few levels. It's certainly tough, but the Mark VI armor and Legendary ending will be totally worth it.
As for multiplayer, I'm still enjoying it as much as I did when I first got it. The skill level in the lobbies I find is satisfactory, connections are good, and gameplay is still pretty smooth. A problem I'm finding is how long it takes to find a game when you have a party of 4 or more, I think the whole joining mid-game feature is just screwing up the matchmaking system, and it's not fun joining a game when your team is down like 300 points. It also wastes your double XP tokens when you join in a game last second, so they're going to have to do something about that.
The games themselves are good, though. None of the armor abilities are OP, and I'm not seeing too many stupid tactics like I did in Reach. The only problems of note are Camo+Assault Rifle and the Boltshot, which is just plain stupid. Assault rifle being pumped up isn't too bad, and people who constantly use it with camouflage are easily dealt with after a while (Jetpack says hi =D), but I can't sit here and say the boltshot is a fair weapon, especially on Regicide. The fact that your secondary weapon is a shotgun that's better than the MAULER from Halo 3 just makes me want to scream. You have no idea how many times I've died to some guy waiting around a corner with the boltshot on Adrift and Haven. It's ridiculous. Fortunately, I can play Slayer Pro and SWAT to let off from those matches, lol. Either way, the Boltshot needs a good-ol' fashioned nerf.
Yep, this game is still as great as it was the first night I played it. I'm about to hit SR 50 soon, probably going to go for the Operator specialization. Some of my XBL friends are already at the 80-90 level range, which is lol. K/D is around 3000/2000, which is much better than I had hoped for at this point, although I'm shooting for a 2.5 K/D or more by the time Halo 5 comes around. And again, if you guys ever see me on, please shoot me a message and we'll knock some heads around. Also, I'm working on some pretty sick Halo 4 montages atm, so stay tuned for those too. Happy hunting everyone.

So I've been playing the campaign, and a few matches of Muliplayer (and a lot of Forge XD), but I'm not sure what you mean by Operator specialization. I know you can have custom loadouts, but how do you change specializations, and what are they for? Also, what is K/D? Kills/Deaths? And what does LASO stand for?

RE: Halo 4 Official Thread
On your questions about specializations -
Basically, it's prestiging from CoD, but with benefits. Specializations give you extra abilities like extra vehicle health or being able to change what you get in your ordnance drops, but you only get the ability from the specialization you have activated at the moment. K/D indeed stands for Kills/Deaths (I included my total War Games K/D), and LASO stands for "Legendary, All Skulls On". It's the ultimate challenge for the Halo campaign.
And Porygon, if you enjoy forge, you'll love these guys.

There are some sick custom maps I've seen on youtube, this one is perhaps my favorite: Rad Low-Grav There's also a Star Wars themed one, both of which are downloadable. I wish I had Xbox Live :/
In Campign: I plan on beating Campaign on Legendary with five skulls (3 make a challenge, the other two make it fun) on:
Catch - Enemies are grenade happy!
Tough Luck - Enemies always go berserk, always dive out of the way, and never flee.
Cowbell - Acceleration from explosions is increased.
IWHBYD - Rare combat dialogue becomes more common.
Grunt Birthday Party - Headshot a Grunt, HAPPY BOOM TIME!
Currently on: Mission 2 (not counting prologue)

Finished the campaign on legendary... It was worth it... The last 2 levels were a nightmare... DARN warriors... All I can say, is pull the wolf strategy... KILL only one, then restore shields, then repeat process... Like 100 times. Seriously, it was the only way for me.
