Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

Amazing. I should never, ever pre-order anything again.

+1 for you good sir.

So it's only free to those who got a specialization code? Because I was never sent mine...

I'm pretty sure this is classified as a unilateral mistake, so there's not much they could do to begin with.

As a LE owner I've now grown tire of 343i giving away content we paid extra for...

First it was specializations no long being exclusive, and now the season pass is devalued. When you say the season pass offers users a 33% discounted price, then give away 1 of the map packs for free you successfully lied to consumers.

You'll get the 9 maps at the end. Isn't that what you wanted?

Not when I can get all 9 for a cheaper price... Microsoft seems to be clarifying that the Crimson Map Pack everyone downloaded for free is a limited time trial. Meaning, everyone who doesn't have the season pass/LE/or paid for it will lose access next week.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

I am hearing a trial now. People who got it free will only have it up until the 18th....

Well, the map pack is bad anyways, so I'll just wait until the pack with the smaller maps comes out

Source, or I'm calling BS. MS has never released DLC content (maps) as demos.

You know what is funny, too? They took away their pinned topic for the people who didn't have the specialization code today. Hopefully, that mean they are going to do something about it or they are just ignoring us.

It appears those of us who got the map packs for free (without purchasing them) will only have access to them until December 18. Microsoft is now claiming they are rewarding everyone who played Halo 4 during the first 2 weeks of its launch with a Timed Trial to enjoy the Crimson Map Pack. I guess Microsoft can remove content from your hard drive (or stop you from accessing it).

Dude, that sucks. Luckily, all my brother does is play Blops 2 with his friends, so I can probably convince him to give me his code since he never plays Halo 4 anymore.

Translation = I'm Kenny from South Park poor.

I purchased the LE and seeing how I'm not dirt poor or a greedy little 12 year old, this map pack thing hasn't bothered me in the slightest. If 10 dollars is that big of a drop in your finances, you really need to invest in better things outside of an add on to a video game.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

The map pack is bad anyway.

You are so far from the truth its not funny... I just have gotten tired of 343i and Microsoft for being the biggest groups of idiots when it comes to making clear what you're getting when purchasing something. I don't mind paying the extra $5-10, because I enjoy Halo games. The problem is this is a multi-billion dollar company and right now they are functioning like a group of idiots. Its a simple business practice to fess up to mistakes and take responsibility. Either offer the map pack for free and compensate people who purchased it, or remove the map pack from the marketplace until everything is ready to go. Every student inside my marketing classes could do a better job then what Microsoft has done. Its pathetic.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

nice, I wanted the maps, but didn't want to pay for them. This is good news for me.
