Why is it that when DLC gets released for Halo 3 Bungie/MS charges but when Official DLC from Crytek for Crysis comes out it is free? It costs $12 or so for 3 average Halo 3 maps at best whereas Crytek gives you 5 maps (3 power struggle, 2 instant action maps) FOR FREE? And the size of the maps in Crysis are HUGE. Also not to mention that Crysis is $10 less in the stores. BTW do not mention "the maps will become free" Why? Because you see your friends playing on them, you instantly want to buy them and the playlist updates etc etc and also based on the principle of them charging in the first place.

Because if they made them cost money on PC everyone would just pirate the maps.

It's not the PC developers being good sports or anything. They don't have the option for it. And they have to work loads and don't get paid for it when they release their stuff. Poor guys.

People who can build PC's good enough to run Crysis are smart enough to not spend $10 for 3 maps.

1. Microsoft loves money.

2. Crytek is not going to charge for maps people could simply make themselves. Plus, freebies = brand loyalty.

more like after 15 years of PC Gaming, we hermits expect free maps. Has nothing to do with pirating, just why the heck are we going to pay for something the community gives us for free anyway? So what if Crytek(or any developer made it), the best maps are always user made maps.

Crytek (and PC developers in general) doesn't have Microsoft telling them what to do, because the PC is an open platform.

Jurrasic Park mod for Crysis is coming out soon. :)

PC battlefield maps cost money. I bet EA is going to make a booster pack for Crysis and charge $10 for it. :lol:

no... EA hold NO CONTROL OVER CRYSIS. Console fanboys get that through your THICK SKULLS. EA has ONE priviledge with Crysis. And that is to distribute it. NOTHING ELSE.
