Your right, it is expensive to modle a map... how much do you think it would cost to make one? Say 3 guys, 2 weeks? ok, 3 guys on what? $5 maybe $8 an hour? Im not sure as Im not in America... even so,, do you think they will make enough money from say 9000 fans? who are paying $10 each? Even if i take 10 people 4 weeks... Now do you see why people are not happy. First you pay for a game,. now it was up to you to buy the normal version or the Legendery one. and now they say if you want to play new maps,, you have to pay again, Ow and by the way, we will be doing more, and you will have to pay for them as well. I not only play on my 360 I also play on my PC, where I have never had to pay for a map in my life, Im sure in some games you do have to,, but I have never. Bungie always say they are thankful to all the fans, but never show it. They will always be able to do what they want because of the die hard halo fans,, that will pay anything bungie asks for. And its them I feel sorry for,.because in the end, they will look out of the bugne hole and see what they are doing. Im not getting the new maps, its not about money, I dont have a problem in that area, its just the fact that Im playing COD4 and have not picked up Halo since I got it, because halo offers nothing new. And the fact that they still want people to pay to play. And yes people are not being forced to buy the maps. Thats not the point, the point is, how much money do you think Bungie will make off of this? and Im sure someone will say its not Bungies idea to make people pay for the maps,, its MS. Im sure if bugnie turned and said we want to give the fans a little somthing, say 2 out of the 3 maps for free, then sell 4 maps for $10,, I dont thin bill would have a porblem with that. PS. a forum and this site is for both people who like the ideas of bungie and dont, not only halo fans play halo. [Edited on 11.22.2007 2:03 AM PST]
