Instead of letting the player choose to download the maps, how about enforce an AU on the free maps since there is no excuse not to have them anymore.

No, you payed for the new maps for first few months of them being released. If you actually waited long enough for them, (Which I didn't) then you could have had them for free considering Bungie DID suggest there would be another map pack therefore the previous pack would be free following the tradition of Halo 2 Maps.

You are the only person who thinks they should get a refund. Speak for yourself.

The maps souldnt be free they should lower the amount of microsofot points to 400 not free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 03.26.2008 4:01 PM PDT

A countdown for the freeing of the maps would have been the best thing to do, so that nobody would have been disgusted by buying them a few days before...

First Page Yay!!

The Heroic Maps really were dissapointing to some of us, lets see how the Legendary Maps do.


epic lulz due to 2nd page post

to all the people that are complaining about paying 10 dollars
THINK BACK TO HALO2 THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MAPS THAT COST MONEY
all maps (nearly) that are DLC will come out and become free a few months later

halo2 did it
gears of war did it
now halo3 did it

everyone acts like its a whole new concept for DLC maps to become free

Apparently you still have about 800 points left, if you wait another 3 weeks you can use those ot download the Legendary map pack ;)

If you'd have paid attention you could actually have recognized a countdown. Right when Bungie announced the Heroic Map pack about 5 months ago now they very clearly said that in a few months the maps would be free.

Then when the map packs were released for 10 bucks on 11 December Bungie announced that the maps would be free next SPRING.

Then Bungie started telling us about the Legendary map pack and gave us little indications about when it would be released, pretty soon we knew it would be somewhere in April. And like Bungie said the Heroic map pack would be made free at the same time or before the legendary map pack, therefore giving us a pretty good indication when they would be free, either way in April or a few weeks before.

Then a week ago Bungie announced the exact date of the Legendary map pack release AND when they would make the Heroic Map packs free. IMO Bungie did a great job letting us know bit by bit when we could expect them for free, and those who bought the map packs a few months ago ( like me ) have to be fully aware that back then Bungie clearly stated that it would take only a few months before they would be made free.

Hereby you shouldn't forget that even though Bungie is a gaming incorparation its still a profit organisation. Therefore it has to make things a little tricky but yet clear for most people when they were actually made free. Bungie did a good job by having somewhat of a countdown but then slightly in a different way. And apparently not everyone was intelligent to pick that up, stil that's no reason to cry for your money now kids. You payed for the maps so you could play them earlier, you didn't buy the maps to test them out, give feedback and then get your money back. Cause don't forget, that's what Bungie had done already for weeks before the maps were released...

i think ur missing my point. im sick of people who think they were cheated when bungie said they would be free a few months later. And altso i dont thing it was a large amount of money and they should maybe have done a price cut or something first. LOL i bought them knowing they would become free because i wanted them earlyer

Sorry for being offensive it had just got me mad seeing all those people whine and moan about loosing a few points

Posted by: Supahfly777

I think you're missing the point here. Making the maps free is a double-edged sword. Sure now everyone has the chance to play them and hopefully they will be added into the standard playlists quickly, but on the other hand, people who actually spent the money to buy the maps (like myself) have just been, in a way, 'screwed' out of 800MS points. Ok so what, thats like £6-7, a fraction of what i earn in a month, but it seems like Bungie are rewarding the ones who are less loyal to them by giving them free DLC while people who ARE loyal and/or couldn't wait for the Heroic map pack have now lost out on points/money.

P.S: I love you Bungie for making this game, its great! I'll stop ranting now before i feel your Wrath =P

P.P.S: We're not ****N' Retards/idiots, In fact, I find that rather offensive.

Spartans don't die! They just got to hell to regroup!

'We Endanger Species'

This comes as a great surprise! But I bought the Heroic Map pack only a few days ago (before the announcement that they would be free) and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a system to get a refund or something? Im not complaining. I love the maps and it was worth it. It just seems abit unfair that I had to pay for it and then a couple days later, Im told it will be free. If anyone knows anything, please tell me!

So are we (the people that supported bungie and bought the maps) going to get reimbursed for these gamerpoints that we "wasted".

I say wasted because your now releasing them for free. Not because i dont like the maps. Standoff and foundry are my 2 favorite maps.

You KNEW they were going to eventually be for free.
Your fault.
Bungie is just smarter then you.


i r has recon : D?.......... : O
