All I see on here is people complaining about having to pay for map packs and other content, like it's their given right for it to be free. WELL ITS NOT! companies spend a lot of money on making content like that, and they are ALLOWED to charge money for it. you have that CHOICE, to pay and have it, or not pay and don't have it.
as the saying goes; you can't always get what you wan't.
Oh please. It takes a developer 20-30 minutes to make a cool version of horse armor. If a player on the PC can make a map for the SAME game that we on the 360 have for free and spread it towards the community, why cant big companies with extra skilled experts in making maps. It probably takes those guys a day to make 4 maps. Look at CoD2. Those maps took no imagination, yet we get charged $10. New halo 2 maps (remakes) how could they charge us?! I would be fine if EVERY content download was pay for a must have and free after 3-4 weeks. Those companies make thousands$$ off map downloads which are just a few megabytes of content that PC people get for free. Our servers on XBlive can hardly run more than 24 people, while a dedicated server can run 64+. PS3 even has 40 players online with no lag in resistance. I loved xblive when they would give us new content once & a while but it would all be free most the time. Halo 2 on xbox1 allowed all players to have new maps in a matter of weeks. Now a game community is strong, then falls apart after the maps start pouring in for 10-15 dollars, cause not everyone gets them.
I know its not my god given right, but its just wrong on microsofts and developers part to charge us for a few megabytes of content that should have released witht he $60 we payed in the first place. Farcry 360 did it, they put a map editor in their game so players could create their own maps. We pay $50 a year to keep xblive up, so microsoft shouldnt make companies pay for putting up a download.
