I usually don't reference Gears of War on Halo-related forums, but their marketing team did a great thing when they had their batch of new maps be sponsored by Future Weapons. I can live with blatant commercialism like that so long as they pay for my maps. Hell, I'd even watch the show in appreciation. There is no doubt in my mind that Microsoft and Bungie will make a killing on the 800 Microsoft price they set for the three maps, but it seems more and more companies are forgetting who exactly they're killing.
I agree, they should have had a blatant sponsor for the first map pack, hence, making it free. I do remember Gears charging for those 3 new maps but I opted to wait until they became free. That was a hard thing to do, but I was stubborn. So, at first I'm going to say I will try to hold out but Spring 2008 is a very vague timeframe, that seems to me that it could be from January through June so we will see. I will probably end up buying them anyway. All I know is I need to take a break from Halo 3 because as soon as I reached level 41 in team slayer every game is super duper challenging but I guess that's the point to a ranking system.
