Now I was not believing the rumors that Microsoft was forcing Epic to have a pricetag for its maps for DL - I figure it was just fanboys trying to rip on each other. Obviously....I was wrong.

Thoughts?

who cares..they are in the business of making money.. so it's not surprising to see this...

[blazsox]

I am not surprised either. Its a MS published product, they have a say on what price goes to what.

It just sucks considering Epic wanted to enhance customer satisfaction.

[DJSteel]

if that were true..they would have made gears mp the best on the 360...

[blazsox]

Touche.

Either way people will still fork over the cash for the maps. Me....I still wont touch Gears online.

I haven't played Gears for a long time and never really got into it, just not my cup of tea.

[DeaconBlade]

publishers always set prices...this sucks though...i prefer free :(

[blazsox]

Well....free is not always the greatest. I had a man the other day offer me a free blowjob. Id much rather accept the $500 offer the chic next door offered.

[DeaconBlade]

good point :lol: let me just say then that i like free Gears of War maps haha. so i'll be waiting the months out until they're free..unless it's a 400 point thing of which i can probably do.

[DJSteel]

400 pts is too much for what they are planning to put out.. beware the horse armor deac...

[DeaconBlade]

well what are they putting out?? one map? it better be more than one map.

[big isy]

A game mode as far as I know. Its capture the hill or something

[blazsox]

Annex is the game mode.

[DJSteel]

exactly....horse armor...

[DeaconBlade]

well annex is free. i'm talking about the maps...how many are there is what i'm wondering.

[Sirharper]

lol...horse armor.

[DJSteel]

i think it's 1 mode and 2 maps...
