Honestly folks I hate seeing when game deveolpers try to sell their audience a map pack. Though I have huge love for the Halo franchise the need for bungie to release a map pack is dissappointing for me. I dont mind the fact that new maps are coming out what but what bothers is me that they charge $15-$30 for these, in actualality, very small updates.
The fact that players can download other player's maps, screen shots, and clips, from file share system shows that downloading a map pack from something like a bungie master account should be doable. However due to the success of sales from the ealier map packs do companies feel like they can get away with charging such a ridiculous price.
As players we are then punished from not purchasing the map packs by blocking players from competing online as they might not have maps that other players do. In other words the company is saying, "Thanks for buying our game no if you would to continue playing with the world you have to pay us mooooree money mwhahahahahaha!"
I'm not going to say we should stand against and say "Dont buy it and it will go away" because the truth is that enough people will buy it that it will continue to happen. However if you part of the bungie community voice your feeling perhaps. I know thats where I'll take my arguement.
