I think it is an outrage that we have to pay for new maps because the others were free. Why are the new maps not free?

Plus I h8 the fact that most peoples rankings got wiped because of this. I'm not going to give my credit card details on the 360 because I'm a person that is not confortable giving away details over the network or internet. I like the idea of using microsoft points. Is this because the game is a XBOX format game or something like that?

The old ones weren't free.

They cost money until a certain date. That's how it has been for the past two map packs as well. Its nothing new.

Edit: They cost money and not MS points because they need to be downloaded on the old Xbox as well, which doesn't use MS points.

If the price was over $10, that'd be uncool. But $4? That's not a big deal for people on welfare who have 360's and Xbox live.

New maps will be free in July.

1. It's $4.
2. The others were only free after a few months of being released.
3. If you don't like it, go play checkers.
4. If the problem is that you wont give out your Credit Card info, then you may want to change your ways.
5. It's a ranking on an Xbox game...it's not like your mom just died.
6. The rank reset will not be reversed, get over it.
7. Again, it's only $4. Work the corner of your street for an hour and then wow, you've got $4.

For anyone that agrees with any of those reasons [or all of them, like me] then just quote me and shut this guy up.

These Bungie guys don't work for free and neither was the education it took to propel them to their current employment. Considering that $4 is not a kick to the lower region.

BUT!

If they start charging more or start charging the same for less, I would then be outraged.

FYI - At any given time there is 43,000 people playing online. $4 each for maps = $172,000.

I'm in the wrong business, Bungie.

Do you think it is fair that Bungie can create these maps and get nothing in return?

No, I don't think it's fair. I get paid for my line of employment and I get paid because my firm generates revenue by selling it's services. But, I think Bungie should keep it's wares affordable. $4 is fine for a couple maps. See my calculations above on Bungie's return.

Like everyone else, I pay for the game, I pay for the console, I pay for the High Speed Internet Connection, and I pay for the XBox Live subscription. After paying for all this, the last thing I want to hear is I have to get my credit card back out. That said, I can tolerate $4 bucks.

But, if Bungie starts nickel and diming me everytime I turn on the XBox, eventhough I am a Halo Junkie, I will quit playing online.

I haven't been playing online very long and got most the old maps for free.

I'm disappointed in paying for the new maps. I really don't care that it's 4 dollars. It's more of the principle of FORCING people to buy something in order to play all the game modes that they used to enjoy before. Again, 4 dollars is nothing, but I STRONGLY disagree with making people buy maps to play something they've already been playing for the past couple of years.

Plus, the argument that the maps will be free is not very good, either. I mean, the maps could have been 10 dollars, but then be limited to custom game types. The bottom line is that forcing people to buy maps to enjoy all modes of matchmaking is stupid.

I lol'ed at your post.

The other maps costed something when they came out, then later became free. They worked hard on these maps. As wel las for the new maps. They worked to make them, it's a company, they need money to continue to expand a product line for us.

The maps are becoming free eventually, too. It's only 4 bucks. You seriously can't afford that?

Paying isn't a big deal. And no, $4 isn't a lot.

But the game should still WORK without the maps. Without the new maps, I can't get on any matchmaking. I'm getting constant "network problem" so I can't even join my friends' custom games. I'm paying for live for this? So if I don't pay for something new, I can't use it at all?

No. I didn't buy the game so it can be held hostage for a map pack ransom.
