Knowing GameStopm, used copies probably still cost only $5 less than new, so it's equal.

Thank god they are finally doing this. Now maybe they can put some Gridlock into the normal matchmaking rotations

Gridlock is NOT in all the playlists. It is only in the flashback playlist. You might play it in another playlist occasionally, but that will only happen when 1) the votes between the maps are tied, and 2) every player in the lobby has the flashback mappack, then it will choose a map at random, sometimes from the flashback pack.

milkin' it

Milking it indeed, especially when Epic was telling everyone that the DLC since they were “"special gifts [for] our loyal fans." And were not going to de released outside of a new purchase. New thing you know, we’ll see the golden Lancer and Hammerburst on Marketplace for a couple hundred MS points. Still, it seems like there is to much buzz for a broken game.

I bought a new copy of this game on release day. How do I get the maps for free?

there should be a card inside the game box -
it'll have a LIVE trial code and the flashback map code, in addition to the Gold Lancer code if you bought the LE. These are ALL on the same card.

They are raising money for the patch I see.

Hey look! New maps for a shitty multiplayer game! How about releasing a patch to fix all the f%#king problems first so that we could actually enjoy the new maps! Just a thought...
L4D = Game of the year!

Err they announced the patch yesterday, and these aren't new maps, they're for people who bought Gears2 used.

That's right! But they are considered new for people who don't have the game yet... Either way... I have a good feeling this patch won't fix shit in the game. How many times did they supposedly patch the first Gears..? and the game still is broke as hell. I've turned my back on EPIC, they can't do shit right bro. There are much better multiplayer games out now that get my mind off Gears. Peace.

Actually, I was hyped for L4D, but after playing Horde mode tons before the demo came out and getting to play with morons, I opted to keep playing Horde and keep my $60. I haven't tried the other Gears multiplayer modes much, though

Way to keep your word on the no flashback maps for used buyers.. Not only did you give us a great game with glitches, you also showed those pesky kids at gamestop not to mess with you.

Absolutely ridiculous!

I got my code with the game and its never let me download the pack. It always says its not available to download in my area. Which is total BS.
My registered address is in ireland, my ip address is in ireland and the game was made in ireland (or so it says on the box)

Ok. So 3 maps for 800 and 5 maps for 400.
Am I missing something?

You payed $63 dollars for used up maps, and you're paying $5 to use them more.

Bungie needs to release a Flashback Map Pack for Halo 3. I enjoyed those Halo 2 maps.

You know what really sucks??
I traded Dead space for GOW2 (that didn't include the map pack) and then I traded another game and $5 cash money for the map pack download. I just got the code yesterday....so, i wasted a ton of money on something I thought I would never get to get for $5. hahaha
