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


Again, no you didn't.


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


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


The BBB is not going to do much. It's a consumer ADVISORY committee, not a consumer ACTION committee. They rank businesses, that's it.

And it's not bait and switch when there's a known bug.

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?


The maps are currently free but will be removed on the 18th. People that have paid for them or have a season pass aren't affected. Those that got the trial version (the free maps) will have to buy them after the 18th if they want to keep playing them.

Good. Exactly what the people who exploited it deserve.


You're just a sad little person aren't you
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.


Knowingly exploited? What?

They wanted 0 ms points. I thought, hey sweet a free map pack.
Yet you more than likely knew they weren't supposed to be free. You knew it was a glitch. You exploited it. End of.

Sorry not everyone jerks off to halo and knows the exact map pack prices.

I exploited nothing. If my maps are taken away 343 will be getting a call from my lawyer.

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.


No i would have said how it was that you dont gett to keep them because it was a mistake on our end and sadly we have to take the maps back from you.
And not cover up all this with som trial excuse which in the end is another slap to LE owners or the players who prepaid the maps from the Season Pass.

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.


It's the internet. People go out of their way to get pissed off about things everyday.

  • 12.12.2012 1:43 PM PDT

Perfect, I get to try out the already crap they call maps and decide if I want to actually buy them? Doesn't make a difference to me.

I really don't like them as a company.

Let me know how that goes. Actually, don't. Because I already know.

Your lawyer will look at your case, read the TOS of XBOX, laugh in your face, and throw you out.

Dang it. I know I got them for free and all, but I don't want to give them up, and I'm not paying for them if I already played them.........


AND when the thing showed up, MS themselves said it's ours.

The "Halo 4 Buy and Play" campaign was just made up. If it was true we would've known that before the release date of the map packs.


I believe that the maps are a trial now and the people who got the maps before this bullcrap came out will still be able to use them.


That's not the case. I got the maps for 0MSP when it glitched and this is what they're telling me now.

In any event, that's what's going to happen. And MS will know because they have ALL the records on this. They know who has the season pass/LE/bought the maps, and who took advantage of the glitch.

It's weird to me. Since in the beginning the said that if we got it when it was glitched, it's ours. But now they're taking it back from us and covering up with "14 day buy-and-play"

Yep. Because, as I've said before, the tweet of ONE CUSTOMER SUPPORT REP is NOT the voice of the company.

I really don't know why people are going on about that one tweet.

2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

And this is why 343i also fails at their strategies. They pull this kind of -blam!- just to cover up the fact that things got screwed up and they're too afraid to admit it.

If it were Bungie, I'm sure they'd probably do it in a non-BS kind of way and be honest with us.

The funny thing is that Microsoft and 343i are directly connected, I don't see how you could mess up something as big as your prized cash cow.

Way to go 343i/MS.

No point in getting them since they only have a playlist dedicated to dlc maps only...for me that is.

New maps are in all playlists. There's just a DLC playlist.

Played a few rounds on the new maps in BTB early this morning.

I'm good either way. I mean the maps are terrible anyway.

Hello

I dont think they can take away the maps from people who got it yesterday for free.When those people bought it,it said nothing about a trial so I dont believe they can just change it.

Not complaining,I got it for free and we'll see what happens,I was just wondering

  • 12.12.2012 2:31 PM PDT

Allons-y!

Idea: Download the maps the SECOND the trial will end, it'll glitch out and you'll be able to keep the maps.

Considering they have done time trials on demos before, this probably wont work.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

That's just a sad excuse.

Either way, I wont be wasting money on three awful maps.
