Dude, I'm with you on that all the way. In my opinion, this is Bungie's worst idea ever. They know many people don't want to get Halo Wars, so they go, "hey you want to play the maps? then go spent $60-$70 on a game to play them." In my opinion, this might actually hurt Bungie economically. I say that because this entire country is going through another great depression. People are losing their jobs and don't want to spend big money on another video game to make their kids happy rather than $8 for a couple hundred points. I love Bungie and all, they are great people, but I think this is the worst move to make. And to others who flame me about my thoughts and opinions, you need to see the news and you will see that this is happening and this is not a smooth move.
First of all, I wouldn't scream at bungie for this decision. Halo Wars and Halo 3 are both published by Microsoft Game Studios. Big decisions like pricing, release dates and promos are made mostly on the M$osft side. Also, Halo 3 is Microsoft's only guaranteed cash machine. They are using that fan loyalty to try and boost sales of Halo Wars. I don't know for sure but it looks like Halo Wars purchasers will be able to get the maps sometime before the rest of us. If you were going to get Halo Wars already, you're in for a great bonus. If you weren't I would recommend controlling you gamer boner until the maps are released. They will keep doing stuff like this as long as people are willing to give them money every time they dangle a cookie in front of them.
My question is... aren't there 6 maps in the Mythic map pack? The story only mentioned 3.
