I cant believe that they are making us pay for a map pack that should be free becuase
A) i already payed 80$ for a one year subscription and
b) i payed 70$ for Halo 2 when it came out
Why are they making us pay for a friggin map pack? This should be free....
They charge you because all the hardcore halo nerds will pay so they dont have to wait till june.
You can all pay for it but this is one unsatisfied customer that wont be.
Screw you bungie, you just lost yourself a fan.
Um, you DO know that it isn't Bungie's call, right? I would advise that you read up on the buisness relationship between developer and publisher before continuing this discussion.
and 80 bucks? Are you just inflating that number for the hell of it, or did you buy your live off of a street corner? My year of live cost me 60 bucks.....
70 bucks for Halo 2? I got mine on release night for 55 bucks....I call bull-blam!- on your part, sir.
Quite frankly, you can -blam!- all you want about the 6 dollars you'd have to spend, but consider the following situation that fits at least half of those unwilling:
"I don't want to spend 6 dollars."
"Yeah, me neither, wanna play slayer on Warlock?"
"Nah, let's try to climb up the map! Make a glitch game!"
"Dude, what happened??"
"I got banned from Live, and I just paid for a year's subscription too!!"
I can't tell you how often I heard this conversation in the last 24 hours. I heard it enough from people. So please, don't try to sell me that you guys are making a smart economic choice here. You're saving 6 bucks so you can get bored and try to glitch your way through free maps and lose your 60 dollar subscription. How smart is that?
Have you guys honestly never installed expansion packs for your pc games before? They cost money, didn't they? And usually yes, they did give more than a couple of maps. But they usually were between 20 and 30 dollars, right? Well here we have two maps, and they're asking for 6. My God, they actually had their price reflect their content???? What bastards!!!
And finally, as I said before, don't -blam!- at Bungie. It wasn't their call. It was Microsoft's. Lay off.
