As in , the people who are complaining about having to buy maps they already have ,I have some questions for you.


Why do you buy a lamp for your room when you already have lights.
Why do you buy a new home even though you already have one.
Why do you make new accounts for x-box live even though you already have one.
Why do you buy more sports gear even though you already have old gear that still is in good condition.
Why do you Join a clan even though you are already in one that has the exact same things.
Why do you buy more snacks from a store even though you still have plenty left?(Sweet tooth much?)
(For those who will get ODST later , like in November,)Why do you buy more and more Halo games , even when you know what the game will be like , what the ending will be just because you went to find it all out on Youtube.


My point being , People complain about buying maps they already have , yet in real life , people buy something they already have every day , so why do you complain about this one thing , but not the other million?

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

"I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence."

Odd. I've hardly done any of that. In fact the only one of those things I've ever done is buy another lamp for a room. And thats only because one light, either doesn't cover the entire room, or doesn't give the right effect. So therefore, I have a perfectly legitimate reason for having two lights in a room.

However, having the map packs twice is not beneficial to me in any way what so ever, which is why I feel cheated at this.

why do i have to buy the maps again?

  • 06.09.2009 6:34 AM PDT

1. Why do you buy a lamp for your room when you already have lights.

Cus you may like softer lighting sometimes in the room

2. Why do you buy a new home even though you already have one.

Sometime you want/need a change (or due to safty problems FBI protection)

3. Why do you make new accounts for x-box live even though you already have one.

I have no idea, why I dont! (see 2.)

4. Why do you buy more sports gear even though you already have old gear that still is in good condition.

Due to develoment in sporting goods, your stuff my not be safe and correct for your chosen sport, so a upgrade is needed.

5. Why do you Join a clan even though you are already in one that has the exact same things.

Please see .2

6. Why do you buy more snacks from a store even though you still have plenty left?(Sweet tooth much?)

Due to the fact I like different things, so I may feel that I would liek to buy another type of snack

So now i have said why. You can now reply and give me a good reason why this matters!! You are talking about replacing something or getting more of something, but the problem is paying for soemthing we already have. Its more like why would you buy a TV, then buy the same one a month later. Maybe you should think before posting cus you dont make sense at all!

That's not what my point was meant to be , It was meant to ask why you would complain about buying the same maps , when in real life you buy the same things over and over again.

  • 06.09.2009 6:38 AM PDT

I dont get what the thread is really about. who is complaining about what? i dont need to buy the same maps twice and i have nothing to complain about

1. Why do you buy a lamp for your room when you already have lights.

Because you might need more light for a desk or something?

2. Why do you buy a new home even though you already have one.

Because you might want a bigger house? Or maybe a smaller one...

3. Why do you make new accounts for x-box live even though you already have one.

I dont..

4. Why do you buy more sports gear even though you already have old gear that still is in good condition.

bBecause your old gear is old? And smelly? And I don't really wanna wear the same stuff over and over.

5. Why do you Join a clan even though you are already in one that has the exact same things.

I don't

6. Why do you buy more snacks from a store even though you still have plenty left?(Sweet tooth much?)

Because I like sweets? I want more?


Look at them and notice how in none of them am I buying/would buy the EXACT SAME THING twice, therefore your arguement is null.

People are complaining , saying they are just buying the same maps when they buy ODST , but there are many situations in real life where you buy the something you already have , yet noone complains about them.

that that if life, but I dont go around buying the same thing over and over again, i buy newer better things!

If i buy a TV, then i want to buy another one a month later, I dont buy the same TV i buy a better one!

The light, I buy another to change how the room looks, not cus i want to buy the same light.

and you chose to buy new things, we have no chose in this!! It is a case of you dont have the new game (new parts tot he game) or pay for something you have already paid for!

Your argument is null. When ever we buy the exact same thing, there is always something to be had out of it. If all else fails, we can at least sell it.

However, having the maps twice gives no benefit what so ever, Thats why people are annoyed because we are buying something we already have and getting absolutely nothing out of it!

Exactly. I am somewhat one of those people. I hate the fact that the price is going up from the maps, but last year I said that I'd pay $50 for a Halo survival gametype. So the price is accurate for me, given the 3 new maps coming with, but deep down I'm kinda pissed.




You see , even though my main argument is trying to tell people how buying these same maps can relate to everyday life , my secondary argument is that no matter what you do the price will not change.

Of course , besides the fact that we have more room for saved forge maps.

Microsoft can see on the server (Marketplace) who has paid for the maps and who has not. It would be simple for them to say here you go, as you have surported the game the whole time, here have 1/4 back of the maps price. that would be nice, I would be happy with that!

i should knew that. lmao first off, those are idiots cus they are buying ODST and not the maps, the maps are just a free xtra. if they think they are forced to BYU the maps AGAIN that they already have, they should not buy odst. and stop complaining, simple as that.

now for the real life stuff thing, if dont think that people buy the same things in real life twice or more times, only if it is needet. food is needet, 2 light in the room enlight it better and having a light twice is usefull. but having the same maps twice is not usefull ,cus u need every map only one time to play

Oh, I think we all know that. Bungie are stubborn little buggers, and have become more buisness like with every day. We as a community are being pushed out of Bungie more and more, making less of an impact on their decisions with every passing day due to those small slips of green paper.

Nevertheless, we still have a right to be annoyed. Its an easy protest anyhow and it makes you feel good when you know there are lots of people out there who share your thoughts over the matter.

  • 06.09.2009 6:53 AM PDT

Can't you see I'm Busy!?

They aren't buying the same maps twice, Bungie had a choice, either give a code with ODST to download the three NEW mythic maps as DLC, or consolidate ALL of the Halo 3 maps onto a second disk with Forge, Theatre etc. They chose the second disk option, and I for one am glad.

If anything, they are providing you with more rather than less. Now you can delete all the DLC from your hard drive cos you will have ALL the maps on the one disk. Also if you are one of those whose original Halo 3 disk is knackered and some MM maps wont load, you don't need to buy Halo 3 again, because you will have a fresh copy of ALL the maps ready for MM on the new disk that comes with ODST.

Lol , this is M$ your talking about , the likely hood of them doing something along those lines is little to none.

What on earth are you taklking about? You still have to download the maps on to the hardrive and they will take up just as much space. That post made no sense!
