Please refrain from being such a cheap ****ing ***** and allow me to download the Legendary map pack for free. It's been several months already and a new map pack is already available to the general public. At the very least, allow me to play Matchmaking without the maps. Sincerely, Vinny. Dead ass, if they don't make the Legendary free already so I can play at least SOMETHING on matchmaking, i'm just going to throw children into rivers. I paid for Halo 3, I don't want to pay another 10-12 dollars in order to play matchmaking. I just got my Halo 3 disk back from my friend (it's been at his house for a year) and I played last night, only to realize I only have Foundry downloaded and Cold Storage and that I can't play Matchmaking at all. I'm not going to pay 10 dollars for maps if all I want to do is play matchmaking. This is absolute rubbish. Does anyone else agree?
No, if Halo 3 matchmaking means that much to you, pay the ten bucks. If not, then move on to another game.
But it just doens't make sense to me. If I bought the game which I paid in full for (I was a BIIGGGG Halo fan boy when I was younger) at least let me play matchmaking. Or set up a system like in Call of Duty where if you don't have the new map packs you can still play Matchmaking/Ranked Games. It just doesn't make sense to me that in order to play this game i've actually got to pay 80-90 dollars for it. At least let me go into matchmaking, and if a map comes out and I don't have it, boot me. But if it's a map I do have just let me play.
there are certain playlists you can still play. they make the major ones require the new maps to keep it fresh. i find that to be fair.
Blame Microsoft, not Bungie. Bungie already said a few times that if they had the power over money they would have made legendary free by now. But Microsoft is obsessed over money.
Sorry, but the benefits go to the people who PAY for maps. Why should they not be able to use the content they payed for in MM to satisfy the few who don't pay? Lrn2business.
No, they would still be able to play the content in Matchmaking the system would just be similar to Call of Duty. So the people who didn't pay for the maps still won't be able to play them but will still at least be able to play Matchmaking, because technically when I payed for the game I payed to play Matchmaking. Lrn2read.
I agree iwth Vinny, somewhat. Bungie should just let MAtchmaking be played by everyone. Instead of those with the map packs. I don't understand why it would be so hard to do that. They did that for Halo 2. Until the maps became free.
I agree whole heartedly. I just recently purchased a PS3 with Killzone 2, and they have 2 map packs on the store for it. The great thing is, I can still play without purchasing those packs, because I just bought the game, and I don't want to have to pay an extra 20$ just to play what I bought at retail.
I also have the LMP, but believe it should be free. Every one of my favorite playlists requires the newest DLC, including big team and rumble pit, which is why I bought LMP.
If you're gonna continue like this, you might as well wait for ODST to come out so you can get all of the maps. Unless you're not gonna buy that either.
I'll probably buy ODST. It just doesn't make sense that i'm paying not only for the game, but to pay to play Matchmaking.
Doesn't ODST only come with the the 3 new maps, not Legendary? IMO, if you don't have the maps to play the match with, then you shouldn't be loaded, and instead you load in the matches with maps that you DO have. I don't get why it doesn't work like that.
Well the ODST comes with 2 discs. Disc 1 includes -ODST campaign -Firefight -Theatre -Reach Beta Disc 2 includes -Halo 3 Matchmaking -Forge -ALL Halo 3 maps, Pre-DLC, and DLC(heroic, legendary and mythic maps) -Theatre(I'm not 100% sure, but I don't understand why they wouldn't include it) So yeah. The only reason to own H3 when ODST comes out is for the campaign.
Vinny are you going to buy ODST? I mean I understand that it is annoying having to pay for DLC, but it does cost money to run the servers and some of that money goes toward the future of gaming.
Your life is pointless, and should be terminated. But I mean, I buy the game is that not enough? It's not even like I was being stingy and bought a USED copy for $40 dollars, I bought it in full! It just irks me that I was once able to play ranked and now have to pay to do so. You know? It's like I basically lost the bang for my buck.
