When 343i takes control of Halo I’d like to see the DLC become free and playlists be DLC required so that those of us who bought the maps can get what we paid for. To clarify, I have bought BOTH Noble and Defiant DLC, but just disappointed that I rarely get to play them in MM.
Ideally we could just slap on DLC restrictions to the playlists, but I fear that this would severely cripple Reach’s population. Doing this would also make some people VERY angry at 343i for excluding them from the full MM experience.

Heroic was free a month before Legendary was even out.
Also 343i is Microsoft in a sense. I feel that they would have greater control over DLC pricing than Bungie ever did.
I will never buy the second DLC pack because I bought the first one and it was garbage save for one map, and that map had a large space section that should have been closed off.
Unless they make it free I won’t be downloading it anytime soon.

Bungie made Noble, 343i made Defiant. I’ve heard that Defiant were the better maps to play on, and they looked better. Research my friend, research.
> They’re already on sale for 400 each!! That’s 50% off, get 'em while you can. I think the days of free dlc maps for halo are over.
In these times we’re living in, you’re probably right.
Anyway, five multiplayer maps and a FF map for a total of 800 MS points really is a good deal. Get the DLC now because I’m pretty sure it won’t get cheaper than that.
And I also agree that at some point all the DLC maps should become mandatory for at least some playlists. Team Slayer, Invasion, and BTB spring to mind.
As mentioned they’re up there at 50% off just now, that’s a fair price I think, I can’t see them being free any time soon, but you never know what might happen.
Honestly, if they put the DLC free at this point i’d be annoyed as hell. I payed for the first DLC but I won the second from the lovely BS Angel, either way I still payed for the first one and that didn’t come out all that long ago considering how long Reach has been out for. Discounts I can live with but i’d want a refund for the first Map Pack if they did that.
