Should Microsoft offer Halo 3's and Halo Reach's DLC content for free download since Xbox 360 online support will be ending in the coming years?
I really like how Microsoft sold physical copies of Halo 2's DLC back in the day, because if they hadn't, there would be no way for gamers to play on those DLC maps, since internet service for the Original Xbox was pulled eons ago.
This is especially dire with Halo 3 & Reach because these games did not receive PC ports like CE and 2 did, ports which included all the bonus/DLC maps. I suppose Halo 4's and ODST's DLC should also be considered for this.
I think it would be a really good move for Microsoft in that it would really boost their reputation with gamers.
What do you guys think? Should the 360 Halo games' DLC be offered for free since the end of the 360's online service is drawing near?

The reason why they won't give away free DLC on old games is because that's the only way they make money on those games. But the last month of the 360's network, who knows what will happen. Anyways, people will find a way to put the DLC on a 360 post shutting down the network.

By the way, have you downloaded any of Halo 3's DLC? (I won't even ask about Reach's DLC as I'm sure you've already got it)

So you're saying if I buy the physical copy of ODST it will give me access to the DLC maps of Halo 3??

Didn't you know that? xD It comes with all the DLC from Halo 3 along with the base game maps + a new DLC containing 3 maps. And it's on a physical disc seperate from ODST's campaign, so that you can still get it after they shut down Xbox Live.

8O
*faints*
I'm definitely going to get ODST. Thank you so much for telling me, Balder! But I must also ask, are you sure it contains all of the DLC Halo 3 maps? Were there any Halo 3 maps released after ODST?

It's much harder than Reach's Firefight which makes it much more fun when playing with a good team. Unfortunately you can only play with XBL friends and not with random matchmaking players.

"Firefight"? What the hell is firefight mode? And can it be played locally in ODST?

Unfortunately you can only play with XBL friends and not with random matchmaking players. "Firefight"? What the hell is firefight mode? And can it be played locally in ODST? It's a cooperate multiplayer mode from 1-4 players against waves of AI enemies. There are 5 waves in one round and 3 rounds in one set. Ammo and health packs are refreshed every round and the waves are getting harder from 1-5 (where wave 5 is a boss round). Also every set they put on more skull modifiers (making everything harder like half ammo pickups and no radar). It can be played locally with 2 players or systemlink/LAN with all 4 players. This is the same for both ODST and Reach.

Sounds like it might be like CoD Black OPs' zombie mode, where there's basically no point in playing alone because you simply won't get far at all. Is it that hard?
