Hmm, now when I try to visit his blog it says "User is banned. Blog is disabled."
Anyone know whats up?
[edit]I'm getting a bad feeling about this. CliffyB's website has it's own blog and makes no mention of this. Is anyone sure that the IGN blog was official? Could all be one big hoax.
I'm noticing that too. You may very well be right.
I guess we'll have to wait and see WTF is up.

Yeah, I read somewhere that they were going to charge 10 bucks for the new maps. I hope thats not true but I wouldnt expect anything less. For a rich guy, Gates sure is a mooch.
Oh well, its still a great game.
They will be released this Thursday. 4 maps, $10.

While I like free stuff as much as the next guy $2.50 a map isn't all that much considering how much use I'll probably get out of it... certainly more then $2.50 a song in Guitar Hero
It's not the cost that bothers me. I can totally justify $10 for 4 maps, given how much I tend to play Gears.
My real problem here is that the developer (Epic) isn't free to exercise their own business practices as they see fit. Cliffy wanted the maps free. Epic wanted the games free. M$, the big money meanie, won't LET them release the maps for free which is, IMHO, telling the gamers, "F YOU!".
My understanding is Epic was given a choice--charge gamers for the maps, or you don't get to release them. M$ would rather deprive fans of the game than give it to them for free. Remember, the only reason the 2 maps released earlier were free is because the Discovery Channel payed for them.
Like I said, I couldn't care less about the price. It's the principle that gets me steamed (the older I get, the more things like that get to me).
