TC. As i said before (Since gamespot delete my messages over your whining), just get a job and buy the maps. Its really good, but your acting like a cry babbie over this. All i have to say is to bad for you, good for me (and others). I bet gamespot is going to delete this message again, as freaking usual.XXGamerfanXX
You're missing the point in the long term. If MS or Bungie can get away with, sooner or later other devs will be able to get away with it. If say in the future COD 7 had an initial price of 60 dollars and released a map pack for ten dollars, and wouldn't allow you to play multiplayer without it, you'd say at first, w/e. But as time goes on if they decide to do that again 4 more times. You pay 50$ just to stay online, which would piss me off.
How is he cheap? He/she payed the money for the game and should be able to play online if it say's online comptabilateyStop being so cheap and just buy them. You complain but what if you owned them and none of the playlists were tied to mythic? Then you would just whine about that.

[QUOTE="sirkibble2"] F**k that, that's under half the playlists. If I can't play ranked team, big battle, rumble pit, Swat, or my legendary DLC, the game is broken. If Gears suddenly forced you to cough up for their maps, or be forced to stay in KotH and Warzone, there would be a massive outcry. But of course Halo's fanbase thinks Bungie can do no wrong so they get away with this crap.

[QUOTE="sirkibble2"]So play the game.what about the only two game modes I play: doubles and ranked team slayer. I am not allowed to play them anymore. You know what's stupid? Talking about playing the game you paid $60 or $70 for and you won't play other playlists that you paid $60 or $70 for. Don't whine about playlists cause you're not playing any of them anyway and getting the "most for you money" because you're not playing $60 worth of the game anyway.You can play Lone Wolves, Squad Battle (Heroic Maps are free), MLG, Team Snipers, Social Slayer and Social Skirmish. Enjoy your game. mohfrontline
It's not just a playlist or two, it is almost the entire multiplayer experience. Anyone without the map packs is shoved to the side, even though we paid for the full game. \It kind of sucks yes, but you will NOT win at sueing M$ over something like this (a playlist or two).

How ever many playlists it is, you will not win in court for this. My good friend is a very good lawyer and he said "good luck to your friend sueing M$ over that".
Yes it sucks but there is under 1% chance you can sue M$ over this. Its just not goign to happen.
I agree it sucks what they ahve done, but sueing isnt going to work.

The game works perfectly fine with the type of games he just quoted. Just because you cant play the games you want, without paying money, too bad man.

You really don't get it do you? It is not about the money, it is about the principle. I can easily afford to buy the mythic map pack but I refuse not to because I don't feel like sinking more money into a game that I already paid $70 (with previous dlc) for. Why should I be penalized even though I have already paid a premium for the game? This is a classic cash grab situation, and could even go so far as to be called extortion. The bottom line is that you should be able to enjoy everything that came with the game when you bought it.
This is a terrible thing for the gaming industry. Online gaming increases in price every year. When online gaming was in it's infancy everything was free. It still is (for the most part) on PC. Hopefully the more people they exasperate with these practices the less likely they will continue doing this in the future.
If you love the game buy it. If you don't buy another .. if you're carefull .. next time don't follow the hype and read up on a game before you buy SmitticusThat is just lame. This was not the case when it came out so how could you possibly "read up on it"?? I do think it is stupid since they are taking something away that they included when purchased. I was pretty surprised about it when I heard but it is not like I have been playing it much these days anyway.
Stop being so cheap and just buy them.Darkslayer16
Well, I don't think you stand a snow balls chance in hell of winning any kind of lawsuit (and I realize you were just venting). I do agree however. It ticks me off as well. I don't really have a problem with DLC, but I usually don't buy any of it, and when it keeps me from being able to play a game, that just pokes me the wrong way. Why they just don't do it like COD is beyond me.

wow, you didn't just sound like a complete @$$ hat.
i think its funny how your all shocked that a massive company like M$ wants to increase their profit marginschaoscougar1Haha well put.
Its not about money its about buying a 60 dollor game. And haing features you payed for and reason you got the game in the first place being taken away. Its called extorion think of it this way, you buy a house and pay it off fully. Then have some one say well to keep living her you have to pay more or just stay in the smallest bedroom. How is that right? You pay for the full game they sale the game instores and no where on the box of new copies does it say you need to shell out 20 more bucks to play online. If it said on the box or in the booklet that when more content comes out you will have to pay for it to play the full game. No one would buy the game that way. I have all the maps but a friend did not and could not afford to get it. Some of us have bills you know and we could not play ranked together. Not all of us can pay 20 more bucks fora game we payed for to play online witch is on the fing box it does not say you can only access certin modes if you dont have the new content. And i am with you. Because if i pay for a game i want to play everything that comes with it. And the main reason to file suitis so other companys dont do this. Its extorion plain and simple.
There are plenty of playlists that do not require the Mythic map pack. You can still play Social Slayer, Social Skirmish, Team Snipers, MLG, Basic Training(provided you're a low level), Squad Battle and Lone Wolves as well as most of the Double EXP weekends playlists Such as last weekend's Grifball.
You can't sue Bungie just because they require that you have Mythic for some of the playlists. Besides, it'd be unfair to the people who payed for the maps to not get a fair share of the matchmaking playlist to actually play with those maps. Most people who don't have the DLC are the people who don't play it often anyway. In your first sentence you said you hadn't played in a while, for example.
As for Bungie being cheap or greedy... I'd agree if they hadn't you know, made the Heroic map pack free and given Cold Storage to us for free along with giving us a free theme and gamerpics on Bungie day last year. They didn't advertise free content, why aren't you angry about that, I wonder.
