@Obama_Bin_Ladn9 He'd still be wasting money. Before this, there was no reason to believe anyone would get a refund and plenty of people among those who bought it felt that they had wasted their money. If you somehow managed to get a game and you hated it and somehow sold it for the same price 6 months later, you'd still have wasted your money. That money could have been used towards something else at the time of purchase. A refund is nothing but exchanging wasted money for wasted time. Maybe you come out even, but you're still at a loss and had to spend plenty of time with the feeling of wasted money.
@lal480 @cwd633 Are you responding to plain maps in the playlist? I just want to see those 3 maps in the playlist in any form to see something different.
@nedrith I like making maps and people have made some pretty awesome things in Forge, but what you really get with the new maps is new environments I suppose. In Reach, Forge World got pretty old to look at, what with only Forerunner architecture and grass. I got maps mixed up because I couldn't even define them by environment or landscape or landmarks for the most part.
@cwd633 Huh. I watched a lot of videos before the game came out but I did not know this. Seems like sort of a waste to me. I would play on them as they are plain. Thanks for clarifying though.
I think these map packs should be $5. I mean, Halo 4 costs $60 and comes with 13 maps... At $10 for 3 maps, they're implying that around $43 of the cost of Halo 4 was for the multiplayer maps it comes with? I just don't see that logic, especially when I'm guessing that the campaign costs equal or more resources to develop. Also, why the hell are there 13 maps but only like 5 come up in any playlist? I haven't even played Ravine, Impact or Erosion in any War Games matchmaking.
I like all the people who say they'll judge it when it comes out, but they don't care anyways, come and watch a review where the reviewer likes it, then just say, "Well... Shaun's retarded so whatever", and then they shrug it off. It's just funny to see people defend themselves as being a rational person then just prove the assertion that they're going to judge the game the same way after it comes out and is warmly received.
If you are so bothered by the premise of a game that you can't bring yourself to enjoy it, then fine, but you don't have to spew total crap about elements that critics feel they did get right, just to satiate some desire to feel this is the worst game ever made. Turn 10 took on Need for Speed's poor handling model with their decently realistic one and basically made one of the first semi-simulation racers in an open world. I think that deserves credit enough.
@ise1880 They listen to the same music everywhere in the United States. EDC, one of the biggest electronic dance music festivals in the US, has festivals in Colorado, and they don't even do one in California.
@Mawy_Golomb The one thing I'll say is that the world in the demo was limited to a sort of out-of-town section, and beyond that it's all rural towns and not cities from what I can gather.
