framheim Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 what do you think about that? aside from the fact the game itself sounds a bit crap(more cartoony graphics? in battlefield?) i think this is the future of mass market games and i'm sure microsoft will be watching very closely as they've spoken before about doing thsi kind of thing with the 360.i certainly wouldn't mind a few adverts in games if it saved me 50 but i'm a bit wary of micro-payments as they seem to be a way of squeezing money for things which should have been included anyway. for example the 800 microsoft points(about 4) it costs for 3 halo 3 maps. there should be strict rules regarding the pricing and implementation of extra content and indeed advertising in games.BBC NEWS | Technology | EA pushes ad-backed video games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennbuchan Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 that's amazing how a game can be funded only on advertising. It's a good idea.can i ask if the halo 3 "Heroic" map pack is any good by the way since you mentioned it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Commander Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The Halo 3 map pack will eventually be free. I can't remember when but that has been the plan all along. I'm just going to wait till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 dunno, i refuse to pay 800 points for just 3 maps.That's ridiculous. Surely you pay 50 odd quid for the game in it's entirety and not wiht bits and bobs missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I look forward to trying it out. But I reckon you'll need to pay for things like ranks etc.Also think the art style is a COMPLETE rip-off of Team Fortress 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 sounds like a dumbed down version of battlefield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
