Sorry if old to some of you

So it appears the reason why the maps where free is because players who participated in a 14 day Buy and Play, basically play Halo 4 online before 20 November get your specialization code and you will allso get free access to Crimson maps. At least thats what i could get out of the updated information on the specialization code posted today.

Lol at the cover up. So players who played before november 20 and got a code got accesss to the maps, yet many with no code could download the maps for free while others couldn't.

Another funny thing is there was no mention about getting access to trial version of the maps when the first information about the play before November 20 to get your specialization code was posted and that code didn't even apply to EU players.


We allso have the tweet from Xbox Support that it was just a misstake on their end and if we could get it for free then it's ours to keep.

Disregard Females, acquire currency.

I'm okay with this. By then I will already be tired of the new maps and no longer care for them.

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.

I'm okay with this because the maps sucks.

No one is going to lose the specializations... I don't know where you are getting this from.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Sure, it was 'intentional'.

You're not fooling anyone Microsoft.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...

Yeah, right. "Preview".

I hate being lied to.

What's funny is, I saw it was 800, as soon as you backed out of the 0 MS point offer it showed it's real price, someone should sue 343i.

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I'll get the achievements soon enough.

It's funny how Xbox Support had no idea about this "trial". This is a terrible cover up.

  • 12.12.2012 4:19 AM PDT

Do not invite me to your private group. I will not join.

343 Industries continues to make a fool of themselves.

  • 12.12.2012 4:26 AM PDT

As said before this is a terrible cover up but at least it makes things a bit better for LE owners.

Why do people complain at a glitch that gave them free maps for a period of time

If it happened to bungie everyone would be like "that was cool!"

Because the so called glitch didn't give us a 14 day trial, it gave us the map pack for free.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

The point is M$ made the mistake, promised on their official Twitter it would be free and now are saying this is a "trial"

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Bad cover up is bad, but at least they're trying to address their screw-up.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I don't disagree with you, but wasn't this MS's -blam!- up?

It was until 343i posted 2 days later that it was a 14 day trial so they are lying and so is M$.

Even if they did they are still lying about it. We'll see Halo player go rampant the 18th in the H4 forum.
