[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Wow, this place is really damn cynical :/ You guys are kind of depressing tbh. I think it's just the fact people know enough about Microsoft (and in general, the gaming industry) to know that 'free' content is never actually 'free'. How is this not 'free'? Yes, it's episodic - but it's still 12 hours of free content with stuff releasing every day throughout the launch period. *Sigh* What I'm saying is the content is probably ready to go before release day, but they hold it back til after to appear generous to their fanbase. It's like on disk DLC, but it's free, in order to get people hooked on it before they start charging for it.
This is basically Spec Ops from the Modern Warfare series only with a more awkward method of delivering the content. Why can't we just have all of the missions at launch ?? Also only 2 new vehicles ?? The more news that gets released for this game the more dissapointed I become.

Halo doesn't exactly lack vehicles as it is though.
so they cut game content and then give it away for free?

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"] What do you mean? This is free right off the bat for every player. Who cares? So if Activision held back 4 COD maps from Black Ops 2 at launch, then released them as free DLC 3 weeks later you would praise them? I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here. How would I know if they were held back? Of course they've got people working on episodic content like this now - do you think they're going to have a team working 24 hours straight to finish a level each day? Wait, are you trying to spin this as a bad thing. Damn, I thought I had everything covered at the start of my post. I'm just saying anyone could do this sort of thing, and they are following up the free stuff with stuff you have to pay for. It's just trying to get people to buy the DLC, not because they are loyal to their fans. Halo is pretty much going to become annual release milkage from now on so I'd say they'll be working on Halo 5 soon after release.
[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]It's more like holding back content for after release to try and get people to buy it as DLC after the initial free period. I guarantee you all the 'free' content will be ready to go before release day.Ravensmash

Screw compatibility between various operating systems, it's windows tablet or nothing. And at this stage I would take nothing, why people want tablets over laptops is beyond me.
