I dont see why Killerdude is in the wrong forums if he does not buy DLC.... im pretty sure he still likes Halo...
As for you paying for DLC it is not a bad thing that you want your maps more regularly its just messed up to say that a good portion of people should be forced to buy DLC to play most playlists or be limited to just 2.
They bought the game same as you and they should not be pushed aside only because they did not buy DLC.
I dont really see this boosting DLC sales because people dont buy the DLC for a reason either they dont think its good enough or dont want to/ have the money. I would see it as more likely they would just keep on playing without DLC or just quitting altogether if all playlists go DLC only.
But I do agree with your idea of having the majority vote for the DLC map if they wanted.
I wonder how many players would drop off the grid if they made it DLC only matchmaking. I have not bought a single DLC but then again I never really liked Reach much. At least not until recently.
Most people seem to be downgrading due to the helmets + lack of physical goods. I also did not pre order for the "exclusive armor and helmets", I did it for the physical stuff, season pass, and FUD.
Depends on the situation. I am not a big forger I usually get tired of building something by myself. But if its something I actually want to make I will only forge with people I know wont delete random stuff or just will not get in the way.
Why am I sitting next to a girl named Little Johnny Tbag?
As for the Doritos and Mt. Dew thing, its meh. Im more of a Sprite guy. It all depends on the individual if they decide to let advertisement influence their decision.
Old games would have to include Space Invaders, Pacman, Spyro, Super Smash Bro, Godzilla Destroy All Monsters KOTR, SW Battlefront and other such classic games (and non classic) .
You could try getting an LE after launch on sites like ebay (how I got my Halo 3 LE) and craigslist. I wouldn't recommend that however, for various reasons.
I felt like M$ really busted my balls with this LE, thing that really bugged me the most was having to stream FUD (Honestly?) . But it will fit nicely with my other Halo Limited Edition's .
You seem to be forgetting everything else that was mentioned for the LE. You are not spending 40$ just for a cool case your spending for future DLC and FUD, which I know does not come in a disk (I am dissapointed) but you still get it.
As Killerdude said before downgrading because of helmets really? I am sure there are cooler helmets that will come out later. I prefer the physical stuff over armor and skins. Period.
LIMITED Edition is still LIMITED because there was a LIMITED quantity of them so saying that just because a few exclusives arent so exclusive anymore makes the LE less limited is wrong.
LIMITED Edition is LIMITEd since you cant really buy them in major retailers anymore can yah? As for buying the War Maps DLC later you would end up paying more money.
