Subject: Can't play matchmaking games without $4 map pack???

Please Bungie, redeem yourself w/ Reach.
Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Just picked up a 360 and figured I'd give Halo 2 another go. Downloaded all the free maps after trying to play a Rumble Pit game and having it tell me that some maps were missing. Tried it again after downloading, same thing. Re-downloaded all the maps, same deal.

So... I have now have an xbox 360, xbox live, and Halo 2 and I *still* have to spend $$ to play?

you can still play a few playlists without the new maps. (Blastacular costing $4) HERE is a link to the article with what playlists you can play and when the new map pack will be free.

Wow, I was hoping it was like a bug or something. So Bungie pretty much made it so that if you want to utilize your XBL account you have to spend more money. That's a complete and total ripoff. I don't care if it's $1. It should not be mandatory. I was able to get into a Big Team Battle but I don't like that style of game...

Not taking it out on you (the messenger) so sorry about that.

Just can't believe that this is something they actually knowingly DID.

Becuase everything ever made should be free, becuase you don't want to pay? Just wait until July, or play the other playlists. Don't like those? Play some custom games. Surprisingly, when developers expend resources to make things, they expect some income to cover that and to make a profit. Crazy world, huh?

C'mon. I'm not asking for the maps. I understand capitalism there Mr Brainiac.

However, not buying the maps has *taken away stuff that was previously there*. That is what is lame. So they will be free in July? Guess I'm waiting until then for rumble pit. yay....
