You do realize that you save money by buying the season pass, right?
Its 2400 to buy all 3 map packs by themselves.
Its 2000 for all 3 map packs together.
You save 5 dollars by buying them together. Just sayin.
I realize that it is affordable for me and many others, but its hardly worth it. 3 maps for 10 dollars, and you only get to play them based on how many people purchase them as well.
Free would be great but come on, company has got to make the $$$, so doubt it. Plus side note, I believe war games matches you with people that have dlc.
You pay 800 ms points for 3 maps, that’s about right. I’d actually pay more if they gave more content. Look at COD, specifically BO2, the last map pack for that game cost 1200 msp but it came with like 5 maps all deigned for TDM, a new weapon and a new game mode!!
With Halo, some maps are for big team (most of them these days) (which reminds me why do I even play Halo anymore) and then the maps might not even be that great.
> Free would be great but come on, company has got to make the $$$, so doubt it. Plus side note, I believe war games matches you with people that have dlc.
ya it attempts to, not enough people have the maps to to play one more than once in a blue moon, especially with BTB
> Ms doesn’t allow dlc to be free if it has achievements with it. 5$ would be good tho.
Simple solution: don’t tie achievements to maps.
They’re all terrible achievements anyway - no loss.
I admit, for only having 3 maps per pack… it should be cheaper, but it could be worse… seems like no matter what is in it… COD charges you 15$ for a DLC…
Not to mention, they have to make up money for used game profits…
Do I feel I got my moneys worth, not really, but some do… it happens…
Doubt they’ll ever be free seeing as there’s achievements with the map packs. The only Halo map packs that have been free (Heroic map pack and Cold Storage for Halo 3) didn’t have any achievements with them.
343 don’t decide the price of DLC, Micosoft’s XBL Marketplace team does. Complaining about 343 not lowering the price is pointless since they have nothing to do with that side of DLC and Marketplace.
I picked it should all be free because let’s face it, I’m greedy and so is the majority of the human race.
The price is fair, but the DLC should be supported more.
343’s support of DLC maps in both Reach and Halo 4 has been awful. Why should we drop $10 on maps we’ll only get 43 days with?
Price is fine. Stop being cheap.
Yup the price is fine the way it is
I think 343 needs to add a little more content to match what is on the market today, especially since the maps in Halo 4 just haven’t been as good as previous titles. Obviously this isn’t going to happen soon though, and I will buy the Castle Map Pack for $10 without reservations.
I say $10 should get you 4 maps instead of 3 starting with the next batch of Map Packs. (or additional gametypes and vehicles. Something more…)
I think that the price should drop on Map Packs, after they have been out for six months, to $5.
When the next major Halo title comes out (odst and anniversary don’t count as major titles, I mean Halo 5) all map packs that have already dropped to $5 should be free to anyone who purchases Halo 5. And if any map packs have yet to be reduced from $10 they will be reduced to $5 dollars with the release of Halo 5. Then all map packs not included in the purchase of Halo 5 should be paired with new dlc, so when you buy the $10 Halo 5 DLC you also get a Halo 4 map pack free of charge.
This pricing system coupled with a discounted re-release of Halo 4, I think would encourage more purchases of both titles, and increase and maintain DLC purchases aross the board, without hindering initial sales, because the people that have always bought the DLC at $10 will continue to do so, and the people that haven’t will be encouraged into the market.

What are you talking about? The maps show up regularly. I regularly get them as voting options, and they get voted for around 40% of the time for me (the other 60% is for when they don’t appear or Ragnarok/Exile are in the voting options).
It SHOULD be $5, but that won’t happen. It would be nice, but it’s been $10 for a long time. All of Reach’s DLC was $10.
> Ya I’m done buying DLC maps forever. Such a ripoff especially in Canada. <mark>It’s 800 MS points, meaning you have to purchase 1000 points for $15</mark>. I don’t care if it’s 800 MS points, I still have to pay $15 to get the points to get the maps, so to me it costs $15…for 3 maps…that are usually average…that probably took the developers less than a week to make…that I hardly get to play on and the population count for the playlists is under 500 now.

> I’m done with it for sure. We need to demand fair pricing.
War Games Map Pass is only 2000ms points = $30 for you.
Better than purchasing separately
800ms points x 3 = $45 for you, but you’ll have 600ms points left over.

That’s not true
I swear halo 2’s map packs went free after x months? Or am I thinking of something else?

I’m certain they did.
