Re: To clarify

In Response To: To clarify (Bry)


: The origins of the whole mess was that the map pack was available to purchase
: and download from the XBL marketplace before it was available to season
: pass holders who have to download them in-game.

: ie, the 'loyal' customers who had either bought the Limited Edition (no
: Legendary) or the War Games Pass and so paid for the maps in advance did
: not have early, or at the very least simultaneous, access.

: That's actually generally normal for those circumstances (Forza is a prime
: example. It's just how Xbox Live seems to get updated. The marketplace is
: updated before in-game, just as how Xbox.com is generally updated before
: the marketplace), but it seemed many Halo players didn't have much
: experience with season passes and expected the release to be simultaneous.

: Despite that, 343i soon tweeted that this was actually a problem and they
: were looking into it. They expected it to be available by about 1700 GMT
: which, for the record, is still in the morning for most of the US)

: When the map pack finally did appear for download in-game, that was when it
: was discovered that the "Specialization Priority One" codes
: available to North American gamers enabled them to download the maps, as
: if the code they had redeemed was actually a war games pass code.

: Everything just spiralled from there, but it all started with the delay in
: availability to season pass holders.

Ah I see. Well, from my perspective it sounds more like a MS problem than a 343 problem, so I hope they tried to distance themselves as much as they could (though they are the same company).

I can also see why limited owners would be pissed off, but then again the whole "limited"
aspect of that edition was rendered moot before then anyway. The biggest fail? NO GIVESY-BACKSIES.

I mean, without playground rules the world is anarchy!
