Now they're saying 'New information has come to light, it will now only be a free trial until the 18th". I'd be interested to hear what someone who actually is involved with legal matters has to say on the situation because all the people I'm seeing posting on halo forums and stuff just sound like pissed off gamers/people who think they know what they're talking about but don't sound like they do. I mean if I technically purchased this map pack for 0G...is that any fault of mine and are they legally allowed to disable my ability to use these maps on multiplayer? Just curious.

Whatever, the only map I actually really liked was Harvest. I thought Shatter and Wreckage or whatever were garbage. Not gonna sweat losing these maps, I'm still not happy about the fact that they released DLC like this barely a month after the game coming out...considering how few maps the original game came with.


I'm just gonna keep playing this game. Am I gonna one day buy these maps? Maybe, if I decide to buy the season pass which is $30 for 3 map packs. Huge ripoff if you ask me considering it would bump the game cost to over $100 which in my eyes is absurd.

Whatever, **** big business.

(Also I have a bit of a vendetta against XBL Support after I was banned from Halo Reach for a week without any reasoning/warning. When I contacted their support trying to get answers for why I was banned I was passed back and forth between two departments for more than 30 minutes and then told me they couldn't give me an answer for three days. Bunch of ****heads)
Often online shopping has clauses that "errors" are corrected in the companies favour. Often Amazon has pricing errors and just cancel the orders ... ohwell.

I once had some 120$ movie set for 20$ on amazon and they said "pricing error" and just cancelled it. Seems pretty common practice.
