Microsoft is now claiming they are rewarding everyone who played Halo 4 during the first 2 weeks of its launch with a [b]Timed Trial[/b] to enjoy the Crimson Map Pack. I guess Microsoft can remove content from your hard drive (or stop you from accessing it).

Hope this helps clear things up! :)"[/quote] Might want to brush up on your reading skills [/quote]How would they go about doing that? The free players already had THE maps, not a trial period map download or demo. How would Microsoft reliably go about deleting or disabling (worse solution since the it's locked on hard drive content) free DLs from hard drives considering they blam!- up the map pack distribution and specialization codes?
