What a crock. 12 bucks. Gimme a break. I mean we bought the game and paid for the xbox live service. I think we deserve free maps. You can whine all you want about the map makers and devlopers, but look at all the maps and mods people spends hundreds of hours on for PC games. These people do it for free. I feel very cheated by Microsoft. Bill Gates is just out to cash in on something that should be included with the outrageous subscription fee we already paid.
Maybe you can learn all the code, draw all the concept art, render all the maps, and test them all for hours on end, for FREE, when you could be doing something else with your time, and then distribute them to legions of ungrateful zit-faced teens all over the world, for free. Oh yeah, forgot about that part where programming, rendering, and testing are all job positions, which have to be payed for by employers. You have to be a serious tightwad to think 12 bucks is expensive when all those people spent all those hours making these maps, which if I may say so myself are all fantastic maps. Modders make maps for free? Chances are they're not as good, and no one told them to.... maybe you should take up modding, since you seem so eager to make maps for free for people.
And how can you call 50 bucks a year outrageous? It's like 4 dollars a month give or take for Xbox live. You pay something like 30 dollars a month for cable television, when there's never anything on anyways. Get some perspective.
Now for something positive: My favorite new map is probably Backwash, fantastic small/medium slayer map, can't wait for Rumble Preview to come out so I can play it in matchmaking.
