The best part is 14 days is more than enough time to realize that the maps are trash and a waste of money. This mistake and subsequent sloppy cover up is only costing them money.


A lot of people like the maps though. I think they are a good mix.

And because of this goof, some people will agree and be more than willing to pay the points for it.

What? No. You can't say that on the Flood forum. We all hate 343 because its 343. Theyre nothing line bungie lol get it right.

Fair play

Covering up a glitch is low.

They should have just said: ¨We messed up. Sorry, but you'll have to return those maps.¨

Also what happened to the idea of giving away exclusive maps to LE owners? I guess that it was just a rumor.

I seriously doubt they'll take away my maps for online play.


Really? You do? What's that saying that a lot of people use now a days?

"You have no rights, play nice" I think it was...

They have that right. Go read the TOS.

I'll be here...
Listen kido, this ain't my first rodeo, I've been doing this for quite a long time, and I promise that Microsoft would be screwing themselves if they took away maps after telling people that those who got them for free get to keep them.


This aint my first either.

If you really believe in the words of ONE CUSTOMER SUPPORT AGENT who operates their Twitter handle as the voice of Microsoft, then everything stated on Twitter should be considered golden truth.

Sorry, but I've said it before. If it's not in a press release or official news bulletin from the source directly, then it's not believable.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

We don't blindly hate. We hate because they honestly suck.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Why would I do that if I already own the map pack for free? :P

But it wasn't 343s mistake. It was MS.

Now THAT is some blind hate.

I NEVER said it was 343's mistake, if you passed first grade english you'd realize that. There was a mistake, and instead of saying something happened they said, "oh sorry, it's only a trial".

It said MAP PACK, not TRIAL.

What? I purchased these maps fair and square for 0 ms points. Why do I have to return them?

The amount they wanted was 0 ms points. I provided them with 0 ms points.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

This is another reason why 343 suck. Not because of the mistake, but because of the blatant lie that is a cover up.

Go to MS support online. Speak to an advisor. If you present your case, and kick up a storm, you might get to keep them. Unlikely, but you never know.

Someone should call the BBB. This is the ole bait and switch.

This made my day. This is a Big Brother quality lie, and hilarious at that.

  • 12.12.2012 1:14 PM PDT

So, they get the Crimson map pack for like 6 days then it's locked again unless they buy it? What's the problem?

EDIT: Oh, okay... I get it now.

Eh, MS's fault, now 343i have to cover for them. Though I'm sure if you were in there place you'd do the same.

I've got a fan!

Why exactly are people complaining? Are they actually trying to argue that they should have the maps for free? Of course it's a cover for the error; it's much more tactful than saying "someone screwed up, so say goodbye to your maps!". I don't any problem with this, and it's annoying to see how childish people are being.

I'm sad because I agree that justice has been served? Nope.

You must be sad for knowingly exploiting something then complaining when something is done about it.

  • 12.12.2012 1:17 PM PDT

Justice.

  • 12.12.2012 1:23 PM PDT

So... are they really taking them away after the 18th or is that all bull-blam!- in order to scare people into buying the maps?

Knowingly exploited? What?

They wanted 0 ms points. I thought, hey sweet a free map pack.
