. Wish it was free from the start but I like the game enough to buy the pack as soon as it's released. Should make getting the 10,000 kills a little more interesting .

Should be fun though if the subway can be accessible or to have it move...
I'd like to see some new guns with the pack considering it's 800msp

No mas for me. The old maps are great. Just wait until you have to buy multiplayer altogether later.
They'll give you one map (the hook) and give you the "choice" to upgrade later for a nice fee.
Thats essentially what they are doing now except you get more than one map with the game. That will soon fall to 4 maps included, then 3, then 2.....
To tell you the truth im having more fun with the Wii anyways.
The 360 is as high maintenance as a woman who keeps asking you for your credit card.

How much more contradictory can they get?
All in good fun. I can't justify paying that(what 10 dollars is the conversion?) for just a few maps though. I'll wait til they are free, or not use them at all.
What's contradictory about that? If you want them between May 3rd and Sept 3rd, you pay 800 points. If you wait until September 3, you don't pay anything.

10$/800 points is a bit pricy for maps isnt it.
r u serious
2.50 each.
I will be more than happy to pay 2.50 per map, keep them coming...
Post by: Master Reefed on May 02, 2007, 06:03:00 AM
AWESOME!!!
and if 2.50 is too much for a map that you might possibly play for HUNDREDS of hours, then dont buy it.

don't like the price, don't buy them.
but quit fucking complaining.

I posted this before, and I think it's relevant here.
It's not the cost that bothers me. I can totally justify $10 for 4 maps, given how much I tend to play (and enjoy) Gears.
My real problem here is that the developer (Epic) isn't free to exercise their own business practices as they see fit. Cliffy wanted the maps free. Epic wanted the games free. M$, 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).

Microsoft, what you're doing right now is worse then having your computer crash back in 1998. It makes me wanna go back in the past and have your computer DIE for all I care. That crash demonized your minds of making bad decisions. Let God get into your lives so some good can come out for all of this. Good decisions meaning LISTEN TO US AND HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY BEFORE YOU GUYS START SCREWING EVERYBODY OVER!

I think Epic should have given the maps to OXM to distribute on the disc. It would cost the gamers a little less because they'd essentially be buying a magazine and getting the maps for free and MS wouldn't have received any money, seeing as MS's excuse was that they were paying for the distribution medium.

you should send that to epic, that would be awsome. I wonder if microsoft still has to give them some kind of key to make the installations work though. do they have everybody nuts in a vice?
make bill get what he deserves!

As for complaining about it, I see it as $10 for 6 maps (4 paid for, and 2 they gave for free) and a new game mode. I think EPIC has been amazing at giving us free stuff (the new game mode wasnt even sponsored, which means they had to have paid MS for it themselves) and I have no problem at all giving them some cash back for releasing more stuff for their game, which I already have gotten my $60 worth from.

I still think m$ is gay..not like we didn't just fork out $60 for the game now we gotta buy extra stuff for it......
What you "fork[ed] out $60 for" didn't include these maps, and there is nothing that says you "gotta buy extra stuff for it". You can play your $60 game without these maps without any problems.
Just because you bought a Civic without a CD player and a CD player appeared later for some extra cash doesn't mean they owe you one, nor does it mean you have to buy one to keep using your car.
I don't understand this mentality that magically people owe you something.
You gave them money and they gave you a product; end of transaction... just because they make new versions of that product or attachments to it, or new products altogether doesn't mean anything.
YOU GOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR THEY DON'T OWE YOU SHIT

Damn, I'm loving these maps. Much better than Raven Down/Old Bones, if you ask me. (Well, Old Bones is okay, but Raven Down is just terrible)
It does almost seem like more thought was put into their design. They're more like the maps that shipped with the game, less like raven down/old bones, IMO. Free would have been nice, but I don't mind paying because I know I'll get a lot of enjoyment out of them.
Man, it's weird not knowing where I'm going though. I know all of the other maps cold, but I'm totally lost on these new ones (just bought yesterday).
