Yes... Clearly this was an oversight that affected only you.

Or, maybe this was the plan that was outlined from the very beginning.

Nah, it was probably the oversight thing.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

They told you it was going to be free eventually since the beginning. It is your fault you payed if you did not want to pay.

You payed for the privilege to play them before anyone else, you could create foundry forged maps before many people. It was only $12 not too much money.

You really overlooked the part were they said Herioc Map PAck will be free near Spring.

You can not get refunds, that is pointed out when you first bought the maps too. I suggest to wait until the Legendary Maps are free, you will not have to pay for those.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Your pissed because you payed to get something early on instead of waiting several months for them to become free like they said would happen, and like what happened with most, if not all, Halo 2 map packs?

Excuse me, but...shut up. I'm tired of pissy little pricks who demand special treatment 'cause they didn't pay attention when they made their initial decisions. It's ten freakin' dollars. So you may have missed out on a couple of Happy Meals...your gut will thank you later.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed off when I saw the 30GB Zune that I bought, now being sold for $150 less than I paid for it, but that's just kind of how things worked. I also had mine for many months longer and had been enjoying it ever since.

Also, Bungie doesn't have much of a say on price, FYI, that's Microsoft. But it's perfectly legitimate for a retailer to change the price of an item at will, especially when they warn you of that change ahead of time, and when the change is a positive one.

Bungie does NOT control the price of the downloadable content. This is all up to MS and the people running the marketplace. The Xbox Live market place it self is not free (costs money to host files) This small amount that you pay help to keep the market place open. MS never really does like putting free stuff online anyways, they will normally only do something free it it has been online for a while and made a little bit of money.

Bungie has been kind enough to get the Heroic DLC made free for use, It was not mandatory for you to download it for the MS points that were being charged. now that it is free it WILL be mandatory so you can continue to play online.

Be great full there is DLC available for Halo.

From the Bungie Weekly Update: 11/30/07:

And as for the new maps, we got mixed reactions to some of the revelations. Price for example, was a common complaint. That’s not something we decide unfortunately – but in the long term, like those Halo 2 maps they’ll eventually be free of charge. So if you’re patient, you can wait it out. And although the analogy is done to death, it’s the same price as a couple of lattes.

When the Legendary map pack was announced in 2007, Bungie stated that the maps would be free in the spring for those who wanted to wait.

If you were too stupid to investigate the facts before spending your money, well then you have no one to blame but yourself.

Besides, Bungie's been doing this since the first map pack launch way back in 2005 with Halo 2. Their track record has always been to charge for the maps, then make them available for free in the future. Where have you been?

  • user homepage:

It was detailed ages ago, before the maps came out, that they would be free sometime in Spring this year. Well, that time has come around.

It's your fault you didn't pay attention to the Weekly Updates so you could tell when they were becoming free.
