you say you don't want a hard drive, then it's YOUR own choice, and YOUR own problem
suck it up, Bungie has every right to give the vast majority of people what they want and disregard what the 2 % people don't want


You HAD to download the maps in halo 2, no exception, correct me if i'm wrong


I have never owned or played Halo before Halo 3, but dont think for a second i wouldnt of complained if it was nessacary.
I have always been in that 1% that will demand whats fair and right, my school threatened me with police when i fairly challenged their "conform or leave" policy, this is nothing!
Stop crying because i am actually trying to improve the "Seventh column".

Even if a little option is added in matchmaking so i can choose original maps along with "quick / good connection / close to my rank" option ill be happy. A small change for that 1%, im not asking for them to re-make Halo.

Pot, meet kettle.

Also, I see the parenthesis you put. I'll give you that one, sir, but if you read on, you'll see "Features may change without notice."

-also-

"Broadband internet service (sold separately), Windows Live™ID, and hard drive or memory unit required."

I quote the back of the Halo 3 case:
"content download" and "optimized for hard drive"

Now, let's put two and two together, throw in a dash of common sense, and oh my, look what we have: content downloads, as like was in Halo 2, require the presence of a hard drive due to their file size.

Also, you bought an Xbox 360 Arcade. See that word "Arcade?" That Xbox only comes with enough storage for arcade games and was not meant to be used to download extra game content without the addition of a hard drive. Bungie is not at fault here, you are for not doing your research and thinking ahead before buying a product you "assumed" would be future proof.

Additionally, if I remember correctly you can still play all of the playlists available, excluding upcoming hoppers with the legendary content. The deal with the matchmaking is that when the game is being setup, it automatically runs a check to see if everyone has the same map in rotation, example: Foundry, and if they don't it will go to the next map in the rotation, such as Snowbound. Don't quote me on this though.

Lets use logic instead of common sense since some lack the common processing power that wasn't stated on their box, but its not their fault.

Content downloads means content, if High Def videos isn't content then it looks like i need a new name for what i've managed to download onto my MU. The XBOX360 arcade called an arcade for ONE reason, thats because it comes with a free disc of arcade games. So theres one half of your argument out of the window.

As i clearly stated, i don't want the "extra content" Bungie has provided. And me being able to play online without this made perfect sense since it happened from when the Heroic DLC was made available (until now) of course. You know i wouldn't actually be complaining if i was actually warned. You don't see me complaining that XBL is going to be down, thats because i was told.

I want, to be able to play the default maps. Fair enough? If the DLC was a a necessity then we would of received it via auto update, but it would be silly to think that everybody had Hard Drives now wouldn't it.

Then if you do not want the DLC, you can play the playlists that will not require it, or just do Custom Games.

There is no other way around this. Bungie will not prevent their newest maps from going into the mainstream lineup for one person's lack of a HDD. :\

You make a valid point, yes, but there is no solution to it.

No offense, but thats a sad approach to any situation.
I'm still gonna wait for Bungie/Admin reply.

but there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying until you run out of cake

I'm a supervisor at a hotel. It doesn't matter which department I'm currently working in/with, If I say I need something, it is to be done without question at the time. They can discuss it with HR or their immediate supervisor later, but to not do what I ask /tell you to do is insubordination, and grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Do what they ask, or you are suspended (not literally, lol). I think this works as a good example. But you've already made up your mind, and I'm not going to change it.

Small print on back of case:
"Features may change without notice" thats features not requirements.
"Broadband internet service and Microsoft Passport account required".


Page 28 of manual:

"THE XBOX 360 HARD DRIVE":

"The enhanced game features of Halo 3 require an XBOX 360 Hard Drive, using a Hard Drive enables you to download new content and share custom games, saved films and screenshots."

Thats ENHANCED, not BASIC!!! Multiplayer has been a core part of Halo since CE.
