Free maps + microtransactions = good idea.
By:Gravemind
Date: 7/7/13 6:39 pm
In Response To: Re: MEH! (serpx)

: I'm glad they're selling armor now. I hope more microtransactions in the
: future will allow map packs to just be free. I never buy map packs. Never
: will, unless they redo my favorite map of all time, Sidewinder. Yes,
: again.

I actually touch on this in my forthcoming revision to by "Ultimate Halo Game" article. I hate paying for maps and rarely getting to play them outside of a dedicated DLC playlist that lasts all of a few weeks. However, making them mandatory is unfair to those who don't want to pay for them. So, I think content like maps should be free (and mandatory for playing in MM). If they feel they need to generate revenue to cover the cost of making new maps, just have microtransactions for armor permutations, skins, and other aesthetic items. Those things will definitely sell (who doesn't like customizing their Spartan?), but if someone doesn't buy them it doesn't affect the game experience of those who do.
