After two years and a sequal has been released, ALL GAMES should put their competitive map pack DLC for free. If somebody didn't buy the DLC when the game was relevent, and they are still playing an outdated game they are certainly NOT going to buy the DLC. No one is ever going to make money off that DLC ever. The only thing it does is restrict people who did buy the DLC from playing the DLC because very very very few people still playing that game actually have the DLC. Basically they can't play their DLC anymore and it's now completely worthless. Really, that can only negatively impact the consumer's experience. I mean why should they buy more DLC for future games if it is only going to become obsolete and essentially incompatible with its own game in a few months anyway?

And BTW, please don't act like I'm looking for handouts; I own ODST. I'm just looking out for the diehards who suddenly don't have anyone to play with on the maps they spent their hard earned cash on. Consider this a plea to reason; not on my behalf, but on the behalf of others who are frustrated by this situation.

Homesite for funny videos, gameplay, and much more!

I bet in another year they will be free. Its a sad, but funny experience I had once.

I was getting some 360 discs cleaned at a store and the guy said "Yo you know your Halo 3 Multiplayer disc is cracked right?" I was devastated, but figured I might as well buy the maps. So I bought $30 worth of points and bought the maps. Next day, no lie, the maps were discounted down 50%...-_-. Just my luck...

I know it doesn't really have anything to do with the thread but I felt like sharing =D

imho I think that all dlc should be free up to mythic and only 400 pts for that. the reason is cuz to be honest: think bout it after everyone gets tired of reach or black ops which is prob inevitable even the ppl that complain bout H3 will come back just think its a matter of time and i think bungie will end up comin out with new map packs or even get their ass in gear and move quickly with another game release... also with the purchase of odst u get all map packs anyways so im sure 4 out of 5 ppl with h3 prob has odst so why complain about it lol.

They will most likly do that like they did for Halo 2, now I hope microsoft will not stop Halo 3 online, but thats a different topic. I say give it some more time.
