Bungie, you sly dog! People love Team Swat, so you make Legendary required, and don't make them free. This will piss people off, for sure, but it will make them buy the maps for Team Swat, so I can have a better chance of playing with the maps in other playlists! I love you guys. And four months of Bungie Pro isn't bad either.
It's pretty blatant marketing going on...the only way to play Team SWAT is to buy the Legendary Map pack - apparently without knowing whether or not the map pack will become free.
I was under the impression that Bungie and Microsoft have separated? Is this only for the new projects, while they still have full control of all things Halo 3?
Yeah, I didn't mind the Heroic map pack being $10.00 nor charging for Legendary, but to market it in this forceful way is somewhat rude/oppressive to the peoples.
What we, the gaming proletariat, need to do is rise up against the gaming bourgeoisie and refuse to play team SWAT, don't be taken in by this type of force marketing.* If this works and they sell many more Legendary than Heroic, where else will their marketing go? Perhaps we should come up with our own means of production???
*btw, I'm not actually all that upset, I just humbly disagree with the methods.*
