I don't see why people complain about maps being retarded. To me, every map has its purpose and if you do not play them with strategy, you will lose, no map is bad unless you suck at them. I hate High Ground, why? Because I can't get a kill on it for a worth of crap. And as for the point about $10 fo the maps. You must have one really crappy job to not buy 3 maps for $10. Hell that's cheap! When I heard of the maps the first price I thought of was $20 but I didn't know how many maps it was going to be. 3 maps for $10, eh not bad. But they way technology is these days, I can see why they are that price. Games went up $10, controls went up $10. Everything went up. But like Bungie said, if you don't have the maps you won't be matched in a game with someone that has the maps. So it works out for everyone actually. They are not making it mandatory to HAVE the maps like they did in Halo 2 when Tombstone and Desolation came out. Thanks again Bungie for the maps, I will love them! [Edited on 11.27.2007 1:13 AM PST]
