from a official forum Q: I have two gamertags set up on the same console. Will I be able to play the Gears of War 3 Beta using both gamertags with one code or will I need a code for each gamertag? A: Only one Beta code is needed for multiple gamertags on a console. Once the Beta has been downloaded, any gamertag that has access to the HD will be able to play.
there was no proof for this so that leaves us in the darkness i used the expertzone site and was signed up using a different name and emails
ya i couldn't find real proof thats why I used the term "CLAIMED" but who knows for sure I didn't get a code from Expertzone so I hope I don't have to worry about it but I can also fake a pay stub pretty easy and it wouldn't be the first time lol I did that to get in to my apartments when I didn't even have a job
and also with anything downloaded from XBL even if not console locked game/demo or what ever it still logs the consoles ID in the servers when downloaded so that might be another way they can track what is downloaded (and this is just a maybe because I don't know for sure)
I gave my cousin a extra code from the gametop.ie sign up thing and he said it was invalid. Maybe gamestop.ie checked the code and gave it to someone else. We might buy it when it comes out,we used to play horde most of the time(gow2 all 50 waves some days)
I don't see why they would give to someone else but it always possible did he enter it through the console or online through the XBL website, because I have had problems with copy paste on the website I've had to remove all the dashes enter the code for it to work (it was for THE MAW game I had the problem with) or if he did it through the console maybe miss typed something (not saying he did but it could happen ive done it before lol)
Well damn that sucks you should see if you came get ahold of Gamestop.ie tech support and see why your code didn't work
For now I think it's only team deathmatch but as the beta progresses more modes will become avalible, they'll probably wait until all beta codes have access to GoW so no one has to wait long to find a match.
That always sucks but that's the problem with betas I hope they have it fixed by the time I get to start on the 25th lol
It does appear to be Team Deathmatch only now, when i played on Friday night all 3 modes were unlocked. They must be gradually unlocking them now the beta is public. Thats insane how much people are selling codes for i bet they all came from expert zone too.

Gutted i didn't get to play more of the beta this weekend when everything was unlocked, i'm enjoying the beta, however Team Deathmatch on 2 maps is not much of a variation. I shall still be working on unlocking Thrashball Cole and the Gold-Plated Retro Lancer for the retail game anyway
What I want to know is if there are going to ban people that don't have a code for the beta I think if they don't then I won't bother playing what's the point if anyone can get in I know my code don't start tell the 25th I don't really care about the gold weapons I've only played the first GoW and the second one for about 5 min then was tired of it lol I was never really impressed with the games Sorry for the double post I forgot I posted in another thread from my phone this morning
i have always liked the horde mode anything else is just plain boring.Most of the time on multiplayer there is someone camping with sawed off shotgun and they kill you with one shot.They mainly use shotgun the whole game it gets annoying.
