the mileage in that regard varies wildly from user to user. so the fractional content argument is nonsensical and frankly irrelevant. (what % of the playerbase spends a notable chunk of time in forge anyway? id bet its not a big number.)
for what its worth, im not supporting anything. i was gonna wait until the forge update to see whether or not it was worth anyway.
but speaking in hyperbole isnt a good way to form a potent argument, and it can serve to mislead others who arent quite mindful enough to research for themselves just what kind of content was cut/what they can expect on release.
I really hope no one in this thread is saying: "They always do it, so it's ok"

I get that OP was bitching a lot anyway, but going "oh shut up about this genuine problem because you talk too much" is just stupid.
Besides the fact that there's a lot of pressure on 343 to pull through on Halo 5, and Halo 5 being the game that could make or break the franchise at this point.
But sure. No incentive.
If they had no incentive to make it good, they wouldn't have delayed it for 6 weeks to get it ready.
Because 343 didn't even develop the MCC, and because it was a complete mess, and had only a small team dedicated to pushing updates and fixes, whilst the core 343 team was already balls deep in development for Halo 5.
your original comment, the 2/3 thing. what if someone read that and thought you were actually talking about reality, and then didnt bother to find out just what got cut? you need to speak in whole truths, not half truths.

How much will they be sold for individually? How many maps? Will they include new game modes as well? What about heroes? Will new game modes be limited to the maps in that pack, or will they be applicable to past and future maps?We don't know shit, Azu. There's nothing to discuss until there's something to discuss. I'm sorry that I don't want to circlejerk with you.
