If DLC was free they would just close the xbox platform.
pmsl. Troll?

DLC is truly the main way Microsoft makes money for the Xbox 360 console. They literally lose money selling the Console itself and the games for it.

DLC for the games and accessories, app subscriptions, other downloads are the source of income for the 360 that make them money right now.

i agree with the dlc payments, its so expensive, and if money makes the world go round son, what the frek have they done with our $70.00 where did it go not all on devouping the game for sure as "Halo: Reach" had racked up $200 million in global sales on its launch day, building strong momentum for the November debut of the Xbox 360 maker's new gaming system.


of course not all of it went into developing the game? how the hell do you think they would pay for their FOOD and SHELTER and FAMILIES, some of it needs to go into the developers pocket, and most of that money went into paying all the other people who made the game (I.E. not bungie).

After paying $70.00 or £40.00 for halo reach should we be paying for dlc. Dlc is already made before the game is realsed so why should we pay for it, for gaming companys to keep it away from us? espically when a game realses sevral dlc over a year with bungie pro it come to nearly more money than what you puchases the game for. i think it would be very good if bungie realses another dlc that they should realse it for free if you have puchased map packs before hand. ( feel free to discuss )...

Stop raping me. Please. Seriously.


It was a task just to read that OP, seriously.

OT: No. I don't give out my work for free, they sure as hell aren't going to do that with DLC. The only company that can get away with that may be Steam/Valve. And they had to fight Microsoft just to get that L4D2 content out for free.

People worked to make add-ons for the game, they should get payed through us downloading DLC.

Not all DLC is pre-made, most EA games this is the case. But for Halo DLC, is normally complete new works.

Idears for maps may have already been created, but the development of the map has not been done.

I have no problem paying for DLC, but it would be alot better if DLC were free, then you would get much better experiecnce as you would have a greater range of maps. And eveyone was able to play the new maps, and they could be put into MM on all Play list.

As for the people who do buy DLC, you do feel you are missing out on playing the maps you paid for.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

We should have DLC for free. I don't care that people worked to make that and should be compensated for that. Hell, we should even have the full game for free! And why stop there? Why not get the console for free, and have free internet and cable, and not have to pay for a house? -blam!- man, why do we even use money?

You have no idea what you're talking about.
IF Halo's DLC was finished before the game, then I would agree with you, but it's not so I'm fine with paying for it. Why should they not get payed for working on their game?

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

All franchises do that. So suck it up and shovel out some dough so everyone can have fun.

Okay most users quite clearly on this forum topic are quite clearly wanting to pay maximum price for DLC. what im saying to thoose people with 1 brainsell is Dlc often Contens 3 maps such as The recent one on reach with anchor in it. you have to pay £9.50 or $14.00 the game realsed for $70.00 or £40.00 brand new costs that price with 21 maps, firefight 10 levles, acces to multiplayer, Campighn storyline, accesss to reach stats. cant you guys see which one you get more value for money for!

I have never met anyone as far down on the evolutionary scale as you.

Also you're and idiot, you need better grammar, you need to spell properly and you need to stop calling people no lives.

As for your idiotic question, yes i do think we should have to pay for DLC. Developers are not required to make DLC but do it anyway, they give more time to a game by making extra maps/game types to make it a better experience for gamers. So of course they're going to charge for this.

So sir get the blam out, you cheap son of a bla,!

  • 12.12.2011 11:08 AM PDT

yes. because DLC is extra content. leaving it on disc and "locking" it just makes it easier to release then having to make everyone download a gb or 2 off of a server at the same time.

If I could change a few things in Reach, it would be....

*Get rid of yoinking and medal ( yoinking is retarded )
*Force Bungie to work again and get rid of 343's existence
* A few other things

1. Bungie has no power over reach and halo anymore, so they can't and won't do anything.

2. Every company wants more money, and although DLC is pricey they get more money. It would be great if it were free but that won't happen. Cheaper would be cool though

/thread

It happened in Halo 3 though but the DLC was worthless in multiplayer

Halo 3 had a problem too. You had to pay over $50 to just play half of the multiplayer content
