Halo 4 DLC pass detailed

What alot of you simply don't see is that this is leading into developers charging and doing as they please because you open your wallets wide and LET them. We thought day one DLC and stupid Map Packs was bad, as well as other nickle and dime DLC crap. So, now we have Seasons Passes becoming the NEXT rip off tactic. All because you let them. That's why people are upset. Was 60 dollars somehow NOT ENOUGH already for the game??? No one put's their foot down and say's ENOUGH! I for one do. I refuse to buy this garbage. I wait for GOTY or Ultimate editions and don't give them piles of money.

I still can't get over the fact people pay money on top of what they paid for the game for MAPS.

Only DLC pass I've ever bought has been BL2 and so far, it's been worth it.  Map packs are a joke.

Nope, sorry.  I don't even buy games at launch if they have this stupid pass.  I'll wait till the price drops on any game that announces a season pass before the game is launched.

Besides, charging for a multiplayer map isn't all that bad, but what they are charging for them is.  If they weren't so pricey, more people would buy them, then more people would play them, then more people would buy them.  One or two dollars a map would more than cover the cost of developing them.  800+ points for a map pack is a joke.

Some people hate this, but when it comes to games I know I am going to play the heck out of, they are a good idea. If it only saves me 33% thats fine because I am going buy all the dlc's anyways. For games I play only on a limited basis, then obviously buying a season pass would be ridiculous, especially since I only buy the DLC's to games I really enjoy. Halo 4 is going to be one of those games, but I got the limited edition so its all good.  

So this Season DLC pass thing has become standard now

Remember Vietnam from BFBC2, unbalanced and empty all for $20 bux.

TIL.. Do not buy map pack because the servers are empty. Stick with vanilla

Cha Ching!  Cha Ching!  That's the sound of your wallet taking a dump on Microsoft games and services.  

343 just want to make money like Halo?s predecessor Bungie

Are they going to be big maps for Dominion?  Because that's the only mode I'm likely to ever play.

Eh, at least they are selling it as a solid map pack for 25 bucks. Thats half the price as those money guzzlers over at Inifinity ward and EA.

maybe they should call it "HALO 4 Premium" :P

I'll pass, they will be empty maps most after the first couple of weeks. People seem to be more interested in the achievements that go with them than the maps themselves. I must have played some of the Reach DLC maps once ever.

Shouldn't it be a rule that if you get the limited editions or collectors editions of games that all DLC and any other add-on comes with that purchase?

MAPS SHOULD BE FREE, PERIOD.

What's weird is just the imbalance. The game has campaign, multiplayer with 10 maps, forge, theathre, spartan ops intro and all the assets for $60. Then the DLC of 9 maps is $25, half of the full game if bought seperatedly.

So are they selling the game dirt cheap or are they asking a ridicilous price for the maps? By logic the 10 maps of the original game alone should cost $30 while campaign is the most effortive section with the voice actors, AI programmers and cinematic designers.

If you could buy a single map (or any DLC was relative to the game) for $1-2 I doubt there would be much complaining.

I think I'll pass on the DLC for Halo 4 multi player maps. WHY? I've bought all the DLC for Halo 3, Halo Reach, and you know what I've come to find out? People play on them for the first couple months, and then you're stuck playing default maps....and ONCE and a GREAT WHILE you might find a team that has all the maps. Its a waste of money if you ask me. Then if you think about it, 90 percent of the maps aren't even as good as the default maps... so yeah, so PASSING on this.

hey guys just wondering if u all no what DLC stands for? because it does not stand for free content ok. if you dont want to buy it then dont simple as that. :)

I hate DLC passes coz you never no if u will get your moneys worth.

This one seems okay but the call of duty elite was so terrible it has scared me off DLC passes of good!

Halo is a franchise that could easily charge $50 for this dlc pass, like CoD, but they're not. Even individually the map pack are $10, compared to CoD & Battlefields $15 packs. 

I also think that this will be the best Halo game since Halo 2, simply because Bungie isn't in the picture anymore. Bungie was stagnating Halo and had no fresh ideas. 343 has already improved the overall look of the game by making it look much more realistic, whereas Bungie made it look cartoony. 

Halo has fresh blood pumping through it. Halo will once again reign supreme like the days of old   ;>}

I will pass!

Halo maps haven't been worth the money since Halo 2 when they would become free so everyone could play the same maps together. In Halo 3 they tried to bar you from playing certaing game types if you didn't have the DLC maps. Result: nobody played those game types. In Reach they had a couple DLC specific game types or they would match you to other players with those maps. Result: nobody played those game types and those matches were rare. I felt ripped off when I bought the maps for Halo 3. I didn't feel like I missed anything by not buying them for Reach.

They need to be free. Not because I want to save money or because I believe DLC is wrong or because I don't think 343 deserves the money, but because there is no real value in something when only a very small number of people can make use of it. They're better off selling armor permutations. I don't mind using the default armor. Heck, this system is working great for Mass Effect 3.

id be more surprised to see a popular game not rip off their customers, hell even mario is getting in on this

I wish that 343 had charged for Spartan Ops, simply because I think that it would fit better as DLC. But hey, it's their choice, just like everyone gets to choose whether or not they want to buy it.

yea let the idiots rush for this craps then ppl wonder why devs keep pushing dlc's

I'm seriously not getting this, between the game being a hard drive killer and this crap it's not worth getting not matter how thought provoking, mind blowing, amazing etc it is.....

the biggest truth is every Halo game I've played it was more the single player portion and not so much the multiplayer so a game like this isn't worth it for me.

In a way you're better off buying the Standard Game and the Pass because you'll end up saving a good $10. That is if you're not into Limited Editions. Considering the price of the DLC its not too bad compared to Forza Horizon and Call of Duty Black Ops II.
