We have to spend a measly $4,00 in order to play the ranked games now? Otherwise we have to wait a couple months till they're free??
Why not just make them free to begin with??
Talk about a huge corporation trying to dime-and-nickle the little guy.

I used to respect Bungie... but because of this... I'm cancelling my xbox live subscription out of spite.

Bungie has nothing to do with xbox live.
so by cancelling your subscription
your doing nothing to bungie
but u did waste $50 by buying it and then canceling
why not just get another damn game
halo 2 isnt the only freaking game that has an online feature to it.
geez

I have said it before, and I will say it again. I guarentee you that if it was up to Bungie then these maps would have been free from the start. However, Microsoft has the final say in cost.

  • 05.10.2007 5:17 PM PDT

I think therefore I am.

whats it with peopel complaining about paying. Ya know it does take time and energy and personnel to make these right? I mean do you go wo work for free? do you even have a job? I gladly pay for quality and thats what I got, dont like ti don't pay Bungie, microsoft andone company doesnt owe you anything

Guy, do the world a favor and calm down. You don't need to raise hell just because of a misfortune like that.

I saw it too! I was upset. But do you know what I did? Here are my exact words spoken when I saw the update:
"So you have to have the new maps in order to play Team Slayer? Huh, that sucks."

That's what I said, verbatim. I didn't make a flame post about it, I didn't get worked up, and I didn't get the least bit angry. So why should you?

In response to you responders:

Okay, I made a slight mistake by blaming only Bungie for this. I am cancelling my xbox live connection not only b/c of spite, but b/c the only game I play on Xbox, let alone Xbox Live, is H2.

I disagree with the arguement about financial reasons. Bungie is rich. And besides all of the politics and monopolizing going on, they already made profit off of these two maps. Thousands of people paid $4 for those maps before they were implemented into the matchmaking system.

And I'm not trying to raise hell. I'm just informing Bungie and its customers why I'm cancelling my account, because I will probably come back for H3, and I want them to learn something :P

You can't argue that this was an obvious and lewd attempt to financially take advantage of already paying subscribers.

you're an idiot. it's not about the money or the time; it's the principle. it's making the point that 2 maps shouldn't jeopordize playing over 3/4 of all the gametypes. it didn't before so why should it now? If Halo 3 is anything like this fiasco Halo 3 will be the last halo to ever grace the X-Box gaming system. I have the four dollars but i'll be damned if i will pay them a cent for everything i deserve. it's their fault for making new maps so why should i HAVE to buy them? delete these maps they sucks anyways. old halo 2 was better without them. peace

And I don't. But Bungie isn't behind it, and there's nothing to do about it, so tough crap.

To sum up, tough crap. Hope that helps.

Bungie didn't make the new maps. Certain Afinity did. They are a new company that doesn't have any games out as of yet... they need to get paid somehow...

My god man. Do you hear yourself?
You are asking why they are charging $4.00 for a product that took hundreds of man hours to produce. Would you work for free? No.
Yes, you already paid for Halo. And you already received that product. Anything past that is another cost. It's like saying "WTF! I already bought a 360, why do I have to pay for games? Or an HD drive? Or a wireless headset?" See where I'm going with this?

how would you know if they suck...you havent even played them on the account you cannot pay $4.00 which is like pocket change. Plus they do not guarntee that you will be able to play matchmaking, it does say online enabled but it does not say anything about you fully getting to play matchmaking.

So...because thousands of other people already paid for it, you shouldn't have to?

And I'm not trying to raise hell. I'm just informing Bungie and its customers why I'm cancelling my account, because I will probably come back for H3, and I want them to learn something :P
Do what you gotta do man. But what happens when you have to pay $4.00 for H3 maps?

You can't argue that this was an obvious and lewd attempt to financially take advantage of already paying subscribers.
No. I can argue that this is called a free market. It's how all buisnesses work.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

Bungie didn't make the maps, a separate company named Certain Affinity did. Get your facts straight jackass.
Do you honestly think canceling your Xbox Live subscription will do anything to Bungie? Hell, they'd probably be happy. One less idiot on the network.

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Screw it, I'm out. I'm one of the few people here who is actually keeping calm, remaining rational, and giving good advice, and no one is paying attention. Don't say I didn't try to help.

Dupe thread.

You realize that there is a search function right. This topic has been covered several times over already. Why not check out some of the other threads, see the reasons that people like or dislike the payment option and then if you have some new brilliant insight you can put on the existing threads. This just wastes bandwidth.
