People are saying they should be free because: They wont download for some reason. (I havent looked into that one)

They SHOULDN'T be free because: Bungie needs to make money, and if you cant afford 4.50$ then you shouldn't have Xbox Live.

But some people don't have a credit card...
and MANY of the halo population is under the age of 18
MOST people under 18 do not have a credit card
it is just a LOT more convenient

ya, i am 16 and i don't have a credit card...so i had to waste basically 2 months of membership because i couldn't play any of the ranked games i usualy play...and my dad doesn't have a credit card eather... so i have been playing other games and occansionally comming on here to play costom games.

if they want to charge us... make it with ms points.. that way anyone can get the maps without using a credit card

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer."

Go get a pre-paid Visa at the store or something. Not that hard.

i said we should be able to use ms points to get the maps..i have like 5thousand ms points..and i couldnt use them on the maps... and the prepaid visa didn't work... i tried

i dont think it is the paying part that you are having trouble with then for the gift card worked with all my friends.

no offense to the guys that said ooh MANY of the halo population is under the age of 18, MOST people under 18 do not have a credit card, those are the dumbest reasons ever. No think real hard why this is dumb now, if you get it right you get a cookie

This would be a good time to point out that the US Government seriously did consider nuking the moon during the Cold War as a show of force. Project A119.

"A large explosion on the Terminator line would put the sun behind the mushroom cloud, making the explosion visible with the naked eye from Earth."

Then the US decided they'd just send in Neil Armstrong to land on it. Neil Armstrong - the one man on the earth that was considered a suitable replacement for a nuclear missile.

Exactly, and if you don't got a credit card, like stated above me, buy a visa gift card.

Does you dad have a debit card? I'm sure that would work.

I'd rather not use a credit card. Besides, Micorsoft is one of the richest corporations world wide and your tellin me they need $4.50 from all of us though our credit cards? I'd pay in cash, but I'm not going to use a credit card.

It's better free anyways, everyone gets to play matchmaking.

I'm sick of DT and HC ugh.

Well...bungie will get MUCH MUCH more money for Halo 3, than the 4 bucks for each person that wants the new maps. So, ya, the maps should be free.


In a news post a while back, Bungie said that they would have the maps be free if it was up to them, but since Microsoft gets the last word on it, they make the maps 4 bucks, probably for bandwidth usage or something, even though they have enough cash already.

I don't see why Bungie doesn't just come out and say that it isn't their choice that the maps aren't free.

Should be free regardless of credit card difficulties, we payed for the game to play it, not to play it until they decided we had to give them more money.

I have the money but I paid 50 dollars to play a game and I think I shouldn't be required to pay more money to continue playing the game.

Does anyone know when the maps are free in the first place because bungie said something like the first week of july is it the end of this week or did they forget about it?

You can run. But you will only die tired.

Same argument over and over i was only really angry when they made the maps mandatory to play like all but one MM playlist so i bought em some people say it's only 4 dollars which might be substantial to some people and some people don't a credit cards and don't want one all it really boils down to is bungie microsoft whoever is not going to forego their 4 bucks just to keep us happy

They don't have to be free, just let me use MS points. I do not have a credit card and have no idea how prepaid Visas work.

I dont care if we have to pay for the maps but to require a person to have the 2 maps to play most of the MM games is a little ridiculous. And if prepaid Visas dont work then anyone under 18 can't get the maps. Does anyone know how secure the server is from someone stealing your credit card number and start charging your account until you have nothing left?
