Subject: The Reach Map Packs= Nothing But A Money Grab

It's just Bungie trying to circumvent the normal $60 price tag by pathetically half-a$$ing their effort on the multiplayer, releasing an incomplete game, and then charging you $20 to complete it. I'd be shocked if it took Bungie more than a week to come up with all the multiplayer maps. Now if any of you board sycophants disagree with my assessment, feel free to unleash an epic fail and attempt to correct my unassailable facts. Just know this. Who comes out with a map pack 3 months after a game comes out? That's almost as pathetic as Gears 3 coming out with one 1 month after. Welcome to the Nickel and Diming of Video Games my friends.

yes but if you pay $50 for nothing you can understand them even better.

  • 11.11.2011 3:10 PM PDT

I think the worst part is that even after buying them, the only chance of using them is if you are sharing a lobby with people who all also have it.

It's a neat little trick and a nice surprise when it happens but that's close to never!

I mean sure there is the Premium Slayer playlist but that sucks because there is so few variations of gametypes per map. I liked Halo 3 when after a while, the packs were intigrated into main playlists and required to play, so you could actually play with what you spent ten bucks on.

Ever wonder what's up there?

4. They are a business, so therefore everything is about money and profit.

5. They are re made maps from Halo CE/2, it's definitely been longer than a week in production.

All those Mass Effect and DragonAge add-ons are nothing but money grubbing by BioWare!

I mean... damn them for wanting money for new content, that potentially wasn't ready for release, for a game!

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

OP, please tell the man holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy the map packs to leave the room. He seems to be making you edgy.
Lol, no kidding.

wait wait, is this about the map packs they have already made?

or about the ones coming out with Halo:CEA?


If it's the latter, OP is seriously a lost cause.
The re-makes look more incredible than anything either company has put out to date and who can deny the level of nostalgia that will be felt while playing them?

  • 11.11.2011 3:28 PM PDT

Fear the Probulator. Looking at my stats I see, well go ahead.

/Facebanana

No wait is so silly its now a /Facepotato

Bungie only made the Noble maps. 800 points

343 and Certain affinity made Defiant and Anniversary map packs. 800 + 1200 point

Math is hard so 2000 points is > (greater than) 800 point

Whos screwing who?

Bungie and 343/Microsoft/Certain Affinity makes games(maps) which makes them money.

Now OP put your head in a sand bucket and sit in a corner till you Know better.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

So allowing people to only buy the maps instead of buying the Anniversary disc is a bad thing?

That is what I plan to do. I'm just gonna wait for the new maps to hit the marketplace as DLC.

New graphics, achievements, skulls and terminals just doesn't intrigue me enough to buy a game that I bought 10 years ago.

  • 11.11.2011 4:01 PM PDT

Map Packs for Reach are great - even if after some time their frequency diminishes (by playlist manipulation). I buy em cause I like them. $15 for the CEA maps is also a great deal. If you dont like them, thats your business. Keep your cash, and watch from the sidelines. Regards.

Only thing that i wanna know is the CEA gona be 2 disk like odst?

Single player campaign on one & Mutliplayer on the other.
