People who have only bought CEA? Those people only play CEA, you know.
Most of those people still have Reach or only play the campaign

I think it's more a matter that is up to interpretation. It may not explicitly state 1-16 multiplayer MATCHMAKING, but taking away that function on matchmaking is still unethical.Doesn't matter. It's not false advertising as you can still do 16 players.

Can't you just believe that some employees think this is a bogus move, and that you could probably get some free points yourself? I'm just trying to let you people know that you may possibly be able to get compensated for unethical treatment of customers by 343i.

The maps are on the following playlists:
-BTB
-Double Team
-Living Dead
-MLG
-Team Objective
-Multi Team
-Rumble Pit
-Team Slayer
-Team Snipers
-Team Swat
-Arena
-Super Slayer

The maps are there. You are just getting unlucky

So you're going to keep whining at me because you think I whined so much to get free points?


I hope you see the irony here

Look dude, just realize some employees think this was a bogus move and they feel for people who spent money on content they can't play in MM when they want to. Just because those maps are in playlists doesn't mean I'll get them, and most of the time I don't. That's bogus and you know it.

Like I said you just got lucky.

I know other people on Waypoint have got compensation also. Not many people because not many see the bull in this situation, but they still have.


Because they realize it's not that big of a deal.


How the hell is it going to hurt you to shoot a call to Xbox support and see what they can do for you. At worst you'll waste five minutes, at best you'll get 1600 points (20 bucks equivalent for a 20 buck map pack).

Again it's not that big of a deal but you think otherwise.

Always up for REACH customs!

Still waiting for the statement in your email.

Has anyone else tried this? I'd do it, not because I think I'm owed something but to see if OP is telling the truth, but I bought HCEA and not just the map pack.

I still have the Halo 3 map packs but I don't play Halo 3 anymore. So, going by your logic, I can get a refund. Because not playing on the maps anymore is the same as not finding them in Matchmaking.

You complained because 343 removed a gametype that people weren't playing? I suppose you would have prefered 343 left all the playlists open so that it would take a great deal of time to find a game?

I'm getting pretty freaking tired of having to prove myself when I'm just trying to be helpful and let people know they can get points because of this bad MM update.


This is what it looks like when you pay by prepaid card. Notice the date, it's July. That's old. If you perhaps payed by credit card it'd probably have credit card as the source.


Here you simply see 'CSR adjusted'. No 'paid by'.


You guys are impossible to please when someone is trying to help you.


Honestly dude, we really don't need your help.

I usually don't find myself agreeing with Ryan, but I will in this scenario. You whined and complained over what a BOX said. And they just gave you MS points just to remain quiet.

Looks like this wasn't the first time either, considering another CSR adjust. Stop asking for freebies.

The employee credited me 1,000 points at once in the form of two 500 transactions.


I'm honestly not trying to gloat or do anything except simply say that it's highly unethical treatment what 343i did and you can get compensated. I've never had thought people would pass up a chance to get something free and bash the guy telling you can.

I'm done here. You guys can believe me or not but I'm not trying to help anyone again here in the mains.


It's sad to see you go, make sure you watch the door on your way out.

Honestly, it's something so pinpoint, it doesn't drive the mass majority insane. Because, here's the kicker, they realize they can still play the game.

*SHOCKFACE*

I know, it's stunning right?

You can still play 16 player via Customs. Matchmaking is on a constant changing basis. If everyone was so picky to detail, we wouldn't have the games we have now.

It's tragic BTBA had to go. But, it is what it is. Deal with it.

Unless you altered those images, which I have no way of knowing if you did, I guess it looks legit, but I still don't understand why you think 343's decision to retire some playlists was unethical.

Frustrating, maybe... deeply unpopular, maybe... but unethical?

The only thing unethical that I see here is someone who got almost a year's worth of fun out of a map pack that he only paid $15 for and then accused 343i of false advertising and unethical behavior even though there was never a guarantee of those playlists lasting forever. After consuming their product to the fullest you twisted their words, distorted the facts, took their money, and bragged about it. It doesn't matter that it's Microsoft, taking advantage of anyone like that is slimy.

I think there needs to be more people like this in the community. Good for you standing up for what you believe in. Lol it's retarded that 343 instead of fixing what was broken taking it out completely what 6 months after they released the maps? Makes logical sense. Ya let's play some 8v8 customs on dlc maps Ryan good one.

Don't care. Reach is retarded and will remain that way as it always has. It had its moments during Flagstravaganza and the settings that we were able to have during Bleedthrough days, but in the end it's still a piece of crap.

Yeah. While I hate how certain playlists have been removed, I'm still calling major BS on this.

Even though 343's MM update was retarded, I don't see no point. 3 months from now, Reach will be pretty much dead.

It is becoming retarded with 343i pulling stunts like this.

It has been retarded. Since day one, when the sandbox was a joke, the maps were horribly constructed, loadouts didn't make any sense, and the playlists had no logical structure, Reach has been bad. What kept it going was its potential. Now that its days are coming to a close, that potential is no longer a basis for any hope and it will die.
