im happy with old maps anyway they will have them working in no time

[sicknasty413]

wow. That sucks.

COD3 is a pretty sick game though..

But you know what really sucks, I come home today with my brand new game- rainbow 6 vegas (or whatever it's called)..and I go to turn on my 360..and it freezes a couple times..then bam- 3 red lights. Damn error 0102. blejroewjioihrgoihegohriuoghiowerhgoierhgoi

Oooo well...

Game Developer : "Oh, you wanted the maps showing up on the map selection screen?  I put them in the settings, thought they fit better there."

what the hell man, same story here!  I got rainbow six 3 vegas around christmas, then came back from leave, popped it in my 360, then my games started freezing online... now half the time my 360 doesnt even boot up due to red lights    works when it wants to though  

"came back from leave", you must be in the military, it's the only place I here that term instead of vacation.  You would think that a company would test the maps first.  I'm sure they'll have it fixed in no time.

How can you release something without testing it ?


makes no sense at all.

[mlmadmax]

woops, i beat that game and traded it anyway, wasn't impresed

I'm sure they tested on debug and dev kits, so the only reason I can think of for the maps to work on them and not on retail is if they didn't sign the package properly (if at all!). I hope someone compares the old and new versions once it's released.

Another possible option is if the buffer overflow checks are ensuring the map can fit in memory and for some reason the 360 thinks the map won't fit in the smaller memory space of the retail consoles. But I wouldn't expect it to perform these kinds of checks when loading the map list, only upon loading the map (wouldn't want to slow down the display of the map select list).

Hmm thats bad, releasing stuff that don't work. Anyway when I eventually get a 360 you won't see me buying extra maps of XBL.

[hamwbone]

im gona buy them, cant wait for them to work, hopefully they will work by saturday nite so can play em!

[dava_bran]

I should be getting my copy in the mail today.

[hamwbone]

im just curious why you think they should be free?  hell, id love them to be free, but i see why they charge for them.

[dr3yec]

^^^^^ Very good point. If I paid 60 bucks for a game. I think the maps should be free. I dont want to here well it is only a few bucks. That is not the point. For that kind of money you should have endless support on that game. As long as they are releasing content.

New maps should be free.  I'm really starting to dislike the marketplace.

maybe if u made them urself, that would justify them to be free. Ppl should get paid for their work.

Ppl make complaints like this and then go buy bottle water. How Ironic...

Why would they even choose to make newer maps if they were free?  Just because gamers would like them?  Companies generally are not altruistic.  I doubt the newer "free" maps would increase game sales by much.  

Game patches, now those should remain free - but new content should cost, at least initially.  Bungie did a good thing with the Halo 2 maps - cost at first and then free for all a few months later - those that care get them early and those that don't will wait.  Win-Win situation.
