It's ridiculous that you would only include maps for Halo 3 on another separate project, Halo Wars (and of course it's the more expensive Limited Edition that you have to buy).[/quote]Microsoft controls all pricing and distribution of DLC. If you have beef, they're the guys to take it up with.[/quote] Alright, then I will. MICROSOFT YOU GUYS ARE REALLY R4PING YOUR LOYAL FANS OF HALO BY EMPLOYING SUBORDINATES AT BUNGIE WHO MAKE MAPS FOR YOU AT EXORBITANT PRICES. There happy? Your argument doesn't hold water for a few reasons obviously because Bungie as a studio is making the maps (which you contend Microsoft is under sole control of), and because they allow the unjust practice to continue obviously because they continually make the maps (let's not forget the "new game," Halo 3: Recon, that will be a downloadable addition on Halo 3). ... They are behaving like any business trying to maximize profits and have lost their artistic integrity in the undying quest for the almighty dollar. Bungie desires profits, not product, and we can see the results.[/quote] Wake up a$$clown... Bungie is a business. And, like it or not, they need to make money to pay the programmers who bring us such awesome games and content. As for packaging the maps with Halo Wars, that seems to definitely be a marketing ploy to get fans of the game to buy Halo Wars. It also probably will work because there are undoubtedly many diehard fans out there with money to burn. I can't say I'll be one of them or that I'll even fork out money to buy them as a stand alone from Marketplace. I'll probably be a patient gamer and wait for Halo 3 ODST to hit the streets. Seems like the prudent thing to do anyway. So, quit complaining about Bungie's and MS's marketing decisions and simply use your money to voice your dissatisfaction with this decision by NOT buying Halo Wars.
