This is one of the most outrageous rip offs in whole gaming industry I have seen for a while. 800 points for "an add-on" which should have been title update and free.

This is complete and utter bulls*it. Strategic options = Horse armor

really u made an account to say that wow and i thought my friends were stupid

No. :) I've had Microsoft Live account (or whatever that sign-in system is which these forums use) and read these forums every now and then. I haven't commented before because I haven't had anything important to say. Now I had because Robot/Microsoft needs to know how ridiculous their prizing is.

sure didnt look like that but ok..........

BananaAss:

*** ripoff.

The game had too little content from start... I bet those modes are already on the disc, you just gotta unlock them.

huh where did u get that (from the other 10,000 poeple that said that) because even a robot moderator said it is untrue

also this isnt the only content there gonna put on HW gosh people be patient

....Well... On behalf of most of the users on the HW forums  I would like to sarcastically thank you for making your first post here a complaint. You will make a great role-model amongst the whining lil kids here.

Thanks. On behalf of myself I would like to sarcastically hope that you enjoy your 800 points title update.

Microsoft will never stop if people don't vote with their wallets and just buy and buy and buy. I don't like whining any more than you do but sometimes it just has to be done.

If they are good fun, and enjoyable, ive got no problem paying.

I would of corse like new maps to be included, but we cant have everything. Im going to get them as soon as i work out how, and ill report back with my findings. Perhaps you can judge for yourslef if its worth buying or not.

from the videos ive seen, the game modes look pretty fun, and im happy to pay for that.

 

I was about to say something similar, but you came along and..........

 

I dont have the DLC yet :(

I Use most of my MP on movies................Silly me.

I have looked up some DLC vidoes and asked a couple of friends. From the looks of it and the verbal reviews I would say it sucks and I refuse to pay for DLC for a dying game. I even pre-ordered it a month early and polish my disc everyday so you can't say I'm not a devote Halo Wars fan. I have tried my best but its just to much. This is a new low for the Whole Marketplace on Xbox Live.

paying for game modes? WOW. I will not support this. The only way these things succeed is people buy them. 10$ for modes is a rip off and I can't believe games like L4D give more free and companies like this charge 10$ for a mode, wow.

To clear things up the reason L4D DLC was free is because the L4D PC came with it for free and Valve felt sorry for console.

Splintered community, just like we all predicted.

I really like this game as well, it's all downhill from here.

I have to say I too was disappointed to see the DLC pop up at 800 points.

 

I can see the justification, as three game modes gives you the ability to play all current maps with a new slant but I think the reason I'm so put off is the way playlists have been handled, a 3vs3 DLC/2v2 DLC/1v1 DLC would have been prefered as I really want to play Keep Away in 3v3, or Reinforcements in 1v1 for example.

 

If it was 800 points for the three game modes and a couple of maps I'd have jumped at it, or 400 for the modes. I hate to sound grumpy because I love the game and I play it regularly, but considering I paid full retail RRP to be asked for another 800 points is a little steep for myself.

agreed, im not paying

Battle not with monsters,
lest you become a monster yourself
and when you gaze into the abyss
the abyss gazes also into you.

Judging by the reactions I see alot of people who complain that the DLC is overpriced, and e handfull of people who would seemingly jump off a cliff if Robot did it too.

The first group brings facts and decent arguments to the debate. The second group merely says they "enjoy" the new DLC. Though it seems they have a hard time deciding whether or not the price is justified.

Myself, I believe this is an outrage. I'd expect this kind of price for a map pack, but not for a simple variation of play. Taking note that 2 of these modes can only be played in parties makes this deal even more uninteresting to me.

I'm not going to buy it at this price, even if I can afford it. I saw one of the Devs comment about the party-only game modes, now I'd like to see what he has to say about the pricing.
A nice breakdown of why exactly 800 MS points was chosen is in order here.

"Seanyboy: L0dex is the cancer of these forums ='( "

what the ***!?!?!?!?!?

what a rip off

i have an extra flaming warthog code
anyone want it?

Dont necessarily blame Robot for the pricing. I think Microsoft would of been in charge of that decision.

None of the DLC was on the disc when it shipped.  The game modes are a small download because they are rules.  There is some new content, but it's obviously a different type of content compared to a map.  Also, the recent patch added a bunch of missing support/engine groundwork for both DLCs.

We are limited in the number of matchmaking buckets we can use due to Live.  We left a bunch of buckets available for the DLC, but perhaps we made too many team oriented buckets.  We'll evaluate changing/modifying that as we get feedback.  FWIW, since the DLC modes are generally more team-based than the default game, we skewed the new hoppers to be team-focused as well.

I am very suprised Microsoft allowed this as i am sure Bungie would not have been allowed to do anything near this with any of the other Halo games.
Halo 2 Vista may have been poorly optimised but atleast it had a editing kit abiet locked down.
You ship a game with only 4 play lists then expect the Stakeholders to pay for the rest of the playlists?
Least you lot could have done is sold the content for 400MSP if not less.
This would have been like Bungie or Hiredgun selling Halo 2/ Halo2 Vista with just slayer, juggernaught and possibly team slayer then try and sell all the other play lists.
I understand you have a limited amount of server space, But surely you would have enough space for atleast 6 more playlists than the shipped 4.
Xbox live may say no refunds but i do believe that goes against my statory rights.
