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.

I don't mind paying the $10.

But seriously, these maps COULD HAVE EASILY SHIPPED WITH HALO 3.

I buy a LOT of Bungie T-Shirts, gear, etc.
So the money is not the issue for me.

It's the fact that the game itself has some obvious faults that need a patch and we are getting new maps instead.

Seriously. FOR EXAMPLE: Unless you are the HOST of the party, the members of your party have NO IDEA what playlist you are about to play until you start searching for games! WTF is up with that?

Honestly, Bungie, you guys are great... but give us a flippin' patch for the game instead of rolling out "new" maps that have probably been ready for this strategic release date, just in time for Christmas to make some extra bling bling.

Grrrrrrrr.
I seriously dislike when you guys pull crap like this.


Same here. I think the backlash lately is probably due to this reason. Why are we getting more "pay for it' content before the bugs in the game are fixed? Also, I think most agree with you that these were probably supposed to be in the game but held back for some xmas $$.

I will compare apples to oranges, cause there both fruit. They belong in the same catagory. Much like forking over 400Dollars for a system and then to enchance the system you have to fork almosyt 70 bucks a year so that brings us up to 480$. Then throw in your favorite game(lets say for fun Halo 3), another 65$ so were near 550$. You get pocketed cause Microsoft knows how to market and make a producti that is great for a crap load of people. Thumbs up to them for that.

But if your going to keep the so called GAMING EXPERIENCE FRESH, and keep it ALIVE like they market through xboxlive, how about taking the price and pull it out of there wallet everytime. For every game I own, I want to enhance the play of it to keep it feeling good its going to cost another 30-50$ so why not charge it when I buy the damn thing.

If you guys seriously cant afford $10, somthing is wrong... ur either addicted to some drug, or u have no job... If u have no job, Get one!!!!... If you cant get one, PICK UP ALL THE PENNIES AND DIMES YOU FIND UNTILL THE MAPS COME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the 11th you will easily have $10 in change. Bungie basicly has to charge you for the maps... If you dont know already... They hire people to make these maps. They have expensive programs and even though you all think that the new maps can just appear off of a tree, they are expensive, time consuming, and even irritating.

Stand up for what you believe in, I remember reading too.

I am standing up, so dont tell us to stop complaining. Maybe 10$ is great for you, but its not for me and I am not going to do it, and I am not going to do it everytime someone says it cost MS points to buy something. Enhance my gaming experience from out of the multibillionaire jackass who has the money to do it for everyone at least 10 times. I am standing up by complaining about it right here i am standing up and say I dont believe in it. For everyone who says they are fine with this and what not thats great but theres more people out there who arent seeing this that wont touch, We know what would win. Lack of support for this is the only route. But then bungie will probually come back and lie saying that xbox live has had its big download ever for gaming content. Cause you know what that will be crap, cause no game compares to Halo Universe.

~telengard

And why must the existance of one negate the other? What makes you think they aren't working on a patch? Patches are exponentially more difficult to narrow down the cause and then find a solution, not to mention find a solution that won't break the game. Sit tight and relax. Be happy that Bungie has shown such comittment to its games in the past and that the game even is patchable.

Beyond that, the lack of a patch is no reason to act like children and moan about a set of maps you are do not have to pay for. Have some patience.

Bro it isnt about affording 10$. Its about the way around this crap.

Today its 10$ for 3 maps, Tomorrow its 15$ for 3 maps. No one needs to keep purchasing crap to enhance a game that cost almost 70$ to begin with. No one. Period. Go on marketplace for your games played go through and look how much it would cost you to enhance only the games you play right now quite often. IT would wipe you clean, for what a couple hours out of your day. Not right.

AM I THE ONLY PERSON THAT FEELS THAT THESE MAPS SHOULD BE FREE!?!?!? FIRST OFF A YEAR AGO I PAYED FOR MY LEGENDARY EDITION OF HALO 3 WHEN IT WAS STILL SELLING FOR $100. THEN IM FORCED TO PAY AN EXTRA $30 WHEN IT IS RELEASED. THEN I GET THE GAME PLAY IT AND THE CAMPAIGN WAS GREAT BUT THE MATCHMAKING IS KINDA LAME. YOU PLAY THE SAME STAGES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER OVER AND OVER ACCOMPANIED BY THE SAME VARIANTS. I WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF DIFFERNT CHOICES AS FAR AS THE "HOPPERS" GO. BRING BIG TEAM BACK TO A RANKED PLAYLIST AND ADD SOME MORE OPTIONS LIKE AN ALL INFECTION SCENARIO. IM JUST SAY THAT SOME OF THE NEW MAPS NEED TO BE FREE WITH THE VERY LIMITED SELECTION OF MAPS THAT WERE GIVEN WITH LAUNCH FOR A HIGH PRICE. DOES ANYONE AGREE?


I'm not saying they necessarily need to be free, but 800 Microsoft points is rather steep considering what's being included. RedOctane pulled this very same nonsense with Guitar Hero II by offering three song packages for the same price. Worse yet, those songs were just remakes of songs from the original Guitar Hero with a few extra features (namely base tracks) tacked on. Xbox Live's marketplace is nothing more than huge scam, and a set price of 800 points for three maps - one of which was "supposed" to be included in the game at launch - does nothing but further that.

Why do I feel like only a handful of the people who post on these forums actually realize they're being taken for a ride? The lack of common sense here is really quite staggering.


No kidding. A fool and his money...

And for every 3rd post that says "$10 is nothing, you can afford it" or variants of that you are missing the ENTIRE point.

It's not that $10 is a lot of money, it's that it is a RIPOFF for 3 maps. 1 which is a Forge map, and 1 which was supposed to be in the original shipped game.

People don't like being taken advantage of.

You are not standing up, you are making a ruckus that is grossly unneccessary. People are turning this into the civil war instead of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. No one even forced you to play the game online, that was your own choosing. Halo 3 is quite an enjoyable game with campaign and local co-op alone; remember the days when that's all we had? You can't expect everything for free (don't even bring Sony/PS3 into this, each company can do what it wants with its service).

(This is directed at no one in particular)
You will not win by making a scene. The only way to force change is to refuse to give-in, by not buying the goods. Mouth off to Bungie/MS all you want, in the end it won't hurt them in the least. The only way to hurt a company is to refuse to buy their goods or go to a competitor. That's what the free market is all about.

I say again, if you feel ripped off, then wait. Waiting for Spring will not cause your death. If you can't wait, then go find a temporary job to get the $10. If you protest on the principle, then again, don't buy it.

There is no reason for this selfish display of whining, kicking and throwing a tempter tantrum the community has shown. Get over it, life isn't fair. Either buy the map pack, wait, or don't buy it at all. It's your decision, now make it without complaining like a 4 year old.

That argument is what's called the fallacy of slippery slope. Prove to me the price will be greater the next time around and without justification (i.e. the resources put into the product). I bet you can't. Get a better argument.

No one is forcing you to buy any of the content. It's there for those that want it, otherwise, ignore it. Do you see me buying cars for PGR? No, because it doesn't interest me, nevermind the thought I'm sure people have that they should be included free (or where on the PC they are released seperately free). You have no right to get anything you want from these companies. They are providing you a service, whether you wish to take it or not is up to you. Just because it exists does not entitle anyone to it.

But stop complaining doesnt mean oh hey knock it off explain why we should. Cause if were complaining in the end the end goal is to have somethign universal for all of us. Why should anyone have to pay for this, if we keep bringing up valid points and someone sees it, who knows there could be a change down the future road of xbox live.

And yet your doing nothing but adding to the Civil War correct? Admit that. You cant let it go, and your supporters of wanting to pick this up make it like people are god damn losers like they need a job, saying 10$ isnt affordable. How about that crap. It is affordable, it isnt worth it. It shouldnt be worth. It was my choice to get online cause it enchances gameplay. I dont need to enhance gameplay more by paying for it. Its already enjoyable? Hell no, so many things do need there fix and I am sure there working hard on it, but we never hear about it. I applaud them for that. No need what-so-ever to charge for this, when its been charged for serveral games not just this one.

I know more goes into this game than a regular xbox system. But two maps 4$ last year. The three maps I think was the one with relic was 5.99 if i am wrong so be it. There has been its price hike. Much like everything else in the cost of living. Milk is almost 5 damn dollars here and last year it was almost 3.50 a gallon. You cant tell me the prices wont rise with the price of living.
