Here's a cost rundown of previous Halo 2 downloadable maps.
Bonus Map Pack - Containment and Warlock - Free
Killtacular Map Pack - Sanctuary and Turf - $6
Maptacular Map Pack - Gemini, Relic, Elongation, Terminal, and Backwash - $12
A Little Too Late There, Buddy Pack - Tombstone and Desolation - $4
Personally, I feel that $10 is too much for three maps. There's not enough value there for $10. Gears of War had four maps for $10 (although even then I felt that the price was too high). You can get a full XBLA game, Exit, for $10 (yes it's a PSP port, but it's a big game). If it were up to me, I'd offer the three maps for $5. I don't mind paying for additional content, but I do believe in paying a fair price and not one that almost seems like price-gouging.
There is a simple solution to this. If you truly feel that $10 is too much for three maps, DO NOT BUY THEM. Resist the urge of succumbing to peer pressure and stand your ground. You can do all the complaining you want in the Bungie forum, but the only way you'll convince Microsoft to lower the price of these maps is to not buy them.
When the maps will become free next year and Bungie offers the next set of maps, they'll look at how many people bought the first pack. If the numbers are low, then Bungie and Microsoft will realize that they overcharged their first pack and will offer the second pack at a lower price. However, if people still buy the first pack in droves, then expect more 3 for $10 packs in the future. It's free market principles at its finest, and the future of Bungie map pricing schemes is up to you.
Where do you stand?
I agree.
TAKE A STAND
DO NOT BUY ITEMS YOU FEEL ARE TOO EXPENSIVE
DO NOT GIVE INTO PEER PRESSURE
RESIST THE URGE OF SUCCUMBING TO THE PRICES
Where do you stand?
You want to know where I stand?
well personaly think that you are a bunch of cheap nubs and should stop complaining
If 10 dollars is too much money for you dont pay because no ones going to care,
if you dont bungie isnt going to miss your 10 dollars they wouldnt miss 1000 peoples 10 dollars,
get over yourself
if you dont like this so much go find a new game to play
also some one on a previous page said something about haveing to have a credit card to buy microsoft points - that is incorrect
if you live in america you can go to any local gamestore, kmart, target, or walmart and buy 1600 points for about 19.99(in most places)
if you dont live in america sorry but im not sure what stores supply them where you live but im sure there is somewhere
This really is stupid Bungie charged about $2-3 per map in halo2 map packs and now that they want to charge 33 cents more per map there's a problem? if you ask me that's an even better deal than the $3 for a halo2 map. The halo3 maps are going to be much higher quality, be able to be edited to your personal enjoyment and will have taken more time to create than the halo2 maps. you should thank Bungie for not charging more for the maps.
