PSN > LIVE for this single reason

Pure milkage.

I bought my 360 last week with a gold membership and Halo 3

Well, I discover today that out of the 15 matchmaking playlists, I am only able to select 3 of them because I do not have the Legendary or Mythic map packs

In my opinion that is disgusting. I paid for the game and a live membership, but now I can't even play half of the game. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Sure LIVE has more features overall, but the PSN is far superior when it comes to value

I agree but....

Yes, and Halo is the only game in existence to have map packs

psn - free

xbl - 50 bucks every year

Heroic maps are free.

Heroic maps are free.

Ambli

My mistake, I meant legendary

What does that have to do with XBL? Bungie is in charge of what maps are part of what playlist.

i dont see how that's anything against XBL.

you dont buy the map, so you can't play on the map. simple as that.

yep get use to it. ITs funny the killzone 2 map packs came out and most of the games dont even have the new maps

Yes but I am sure MS controls the pricing of the packs

Legendary should be free

i dont see how that's anything against XBL.

Sword-Demon

I am well aware of that BUT, not every playlist should have the maps included

What does Xbox Live have that PSN doesn't? I seriously don't know, not being sarcastic

Zathic

in-game voice chat, cross game parties and voice messaging is pretty much it

You call 3 out of 15 a lot?

TheOwnerOner

That's normal and no reason to say such a thing. Halo 3 is the biggest online console FPS exclusive and it came out in '07. See the map packs that are released for Killzone 2 when 2 years pass. Why not keep expanding the life of the product for fans?

So because one game has a limited number of playlists for you, you're calling out the entire gaming network?

[QUOTE="thelastguy"]

[QUOTE="Sword-Demon"] XBL still has nothing to do with that.. that is a purely Halo3 issueSword-Demon

Well then I would not mind paying for the maps, because I do not pay for the service

It is infuriating to have to buy the game, pay for live and have to buy more maps to get to actually play

thelastguy

in-game voice chat, cross game parties and voice messaging is pretty much it

I am quite sure a number of PS3 games have in-game voice chat in the multiplayer.

My main argument is not the map packs themselves

It is the fact that almost every playlist requires them to play

[QUOTE="Sword-Demon"] you think it would be free if it was on the PS3? i promise you, it wouldnt be.navyguy21

I was not aware that Bungie and MS would indirectly force me into bying the map packs

So you think you can play a K2 match without the new maps too?? :roll:

Do you not think MS controls the pricing of the content on their marketplace?

Plus Halo is the flagship title, does it not represent the brand as a whole?

Nah. I still think LIVE is better becuase it preforms much better.

Simple answer - no.

Can somebody just please pop in Halo 3 and look at the new playlist requirements?

They were changed a couple days ago

There are only 3 playlists that you don't need the map packs to play

Why isn't it the other 12 hosts' fault for buying a DLC map pack that you haven't? Why is it the fault of the service as a whole?

What was the last PS3 shooter game that gave free maps, I would like to know?
