PLEASE NOT POLL REFERS TO THE H4 CRIMSON MAP PACK.

As we all know. Halo 4 is steadily dropping in numbers day in, day out.

Do you think that MS delieberately made the map pack free to get more players to actually play the game.

Or maybe they didn't want to be embarrassed when no one(besides limeted edition owners) Purchased the map pack.

So do you think they planned this to bring up the population and make people play it again or that it was an honest mistake?

Why would they cheat themselves of money?

That's sounds nothing like them.

Microsoft would do anything for an extra dime, even though the do not need it.

What are these first person words you speak of?

Maybe. It's not exactly a totally unheard of strategy.

  • 12.10.2012 5:53 PM PDT

I'm glad you cared to look at this box with letters. Lets hang out sometime! :D

No, it was a mistake.

You can see glitches like that all the time on the Game Marketplace. One time I wanted to play Crimson Alliance and the game was over 2 billion MSP.

My brother did not reply.

What I told him to do was start up h4 go to war games lobby.

Try and purchase it through the ingame market place.

He told me he accidenatlly signed out in the marketplace then signed back in and it was free.

Not sure if that is 100% how he did it though.

Inferring anyone would actually buy it.....????

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Whatever happened, even if Halo 5 comes out and turns out awesome somehow, I'm never buying -blam!- limited edition again.

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

wouldn't surprise me

more likely a glitch though.

  • 12.10.2012 5:55 PM PDT

Why?

Why is it that whenever an accident happens, somebody has to make a thread which attempts to turn the entire thing into a Conspiracy Theory?

"Maybe Bungie leaked that concept art on purpose."

"Maybe Microsoft wanted those Map Packs to be free to bolster Halo 4's Population."

Maybe it's a legitimate accident and not part of a nefarious plan!

  • 12.10.2012 5:56 PM PDT

That didn't work. Whatever, those maps were all garbo anyways.

  • 12.10.2012 5:56 PM PDT

To the people saying MS would never do this because they are too cheap: MS loses money on every xbox they sell, thats why Live costs money, for the most part.

I believe that they probably did.

But hey, it worked. :p

No. Not anymore. Because the parts are so cheap now they make a nice profit.

I could see this happening. Easy way to promote some awareness, and possibly get some people back onto H4.

  • 12.10.2012 6:16 PM PDT

Probably, if I knew the maps would be this bad I wouldn't have bought the LE. Hell, I probably wouldn't have even bought the game.

I don't think so, because there are people having to purchase it.

Aside from that, why would they cheat themselves of money?

Because they are terrible and were not going to make any money off them anyway because no one would buy them
