Subject: Seriously Bungie?

You can't have Recon.

I remember a few months ago you were announcing that almost every gametype was going to be "free of map restrinctions". And now they're all back into "All DLC". Even CTF and Objective playlists! So I'm only playing Slayer now.

I have every map pack except the second half of the Mythic Map Pack, and still, the only playlists available for me are Social and Ranked Slayer, along with Multi Team and Griffball, which only appears on certain dates.

I like ODST, it's a cool game and all.. but there's really nothing that's making me feel like I should buy it. Reach will have all of the features ODST had and more. I'm not really into buying a whole game just to get half of a Map Pack. And no, I'm not buying MS Points AGAIN to buy the second half. Money doesn't grow on trees and Reach is going to be pretty expensive, so I'm not wasting that money right now.

A) Make the second half (Which has maps that aren't used that much in comparision to Sandbox on the first half)free.

B) Remove or make playlists so players without all the maps can play something else than Slayer.

My reasons are valid enough.

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

get odst and the mythic disc, or spend 30 dollars, or just dont and wait for reach, your choice

  • 08.16.2010 6:44 PM PDT

whats another month? if your so bent on it, just wait until reach comes out. then we wont have to buy maps for a while due to such variety of forge world. Bungie will make makes with forge world i would presume.

Take it easy man Halo 3 will probally be having the map packs free like in halo 2 because Halo Reach is coming out soon.

I'm really sorry

You need to look harder.

Ranked Playlists you can play:

LW
TS

Social:

Social Slayer
Multi Team


I'm really sorry, I forgot Lone Wolves, but the only different thing I can play there is King of The Hill. And that's about it. As for the first reply, I already said why I'm not buying ODST. Read before even posting.

Lurking....waiting to strike!

I say THANK YOU BUNGIE. Either buy the maps or don't play. I paid for them...I should get to play them. Just deal with it. Soon all the playlists will be DLC required.

That's just junk. Restricting other players because they don't want to buy a short game that was meant to be DLC at first to get HALF OF A MAP PACK and play Matchmaking isn't seriously cool. What if the guys just got Halo 3 but are not really interested in ODST? I'm not willing to use 30 dollars to play for something I already payed (twice) for.

Lets see. I payed 60 dollars for a copy of Halo 3. 30 dollars for MS Points to buy Legendary and First Half of Mythic Map pack. And 50 bucks for a year of Xbox Live.

Hooray I used 140 dollars just to play Slayer. Great.

No seriously. Not cool nor fair.

bungie worked hard on reach, halo 3, and ODST. If you can't say thank you by supporting them, then you don't deserve the full features of what they have to offer you.

Dragon Ball GT is the bane of my existence
I love Pokemon, Dragon Ball, DBZ, and DBK

I payed for the maps I should be able to play on them.As most of the community already has the maps Majority>Minority

It's like if I had bought 2 Halo 3 copies and more MS Points.

The game itself should be allowed to play without restrinctions. If the server find people with all the map packs fine, choose whatever map. But let the others play.

Unless you're paying for those extra 10 bucks I'm not happy.

  • 08.16.2010 7:04 PM PDT

It's quite a simple matter really.

The majority of the community is upgrading their game. If you refuse to progress with the masses, you will be left behind with less features.

Not complicated.

You buy them for me Mr.I have enough money.

If I had to buy a card it'd be a 30 bucks one with a lot of points, since I don't own a credit card I can charge specific amounts. Then I'll shut up.

But that's the thing. Matchmaking isn't a required part of your Halo 3 experience. You're not restricted from the other 4/5ths of the game (Campaign, Custom Games, Forge, and Theater). You're complaining because you're not allowed to go into every single playlist that MM has to offer, even when you don't buy the DLC?

Someone's sense of entitlement is way off...

You're allowed to play the game and every playlist you'd need for achievements. If you want to play everything, pay for the maps like most of the community who want to play on the maps they paid for.

f0ck bungie



How old are you OP? You don't have a creit card or debit card? If you are a kid its to bad you can't get more maps but may l suggest working one day a week for the ten bucks the maps cost. Or if u are an adult and ten bucks will break your back maybe its your own fault.

I had already bought all of the map packs, but then Bungie decided to ship a second half of Mythic with ODST. And I didn't know at the time. No, I am 15 and not allowed yet to have a credit card, but that's not the point.

Also it is restricting my features. I believe the gametypes 'CTF, Assault, Juggernaut, etc' come shipped with the game, and the fact I can't play them online because I'm missing a fraction of a map pack is stupid as hell. Seriously, Bungie just needs to make the playlists free to play to whomever bought the game.

What is stupid as hell is that you're whining about not being able to play most of Matchmaking, because of a decision YOU are making. Bungie may decide to place most playlists to "All DLC Required", but ultimately YOU are in control of how you want to play. YOU are the one refusing to by the maps, and because of that, YOU think the Matchmaking should be adjusted for YOU?

You are in the minority. Significant changes to Matchmaking aren't going to be made for the minority. Once Reach is out, most of the players left on Halo 3 are going to be the ones with all the DLC, not without.

  • 08.17.2010 7:02 PM PDT

wtf if they make it to not need ODST to play mlg and stuff then imma be pisseeed cuz i bought odst for that reason and only tht reason
