I got Crimson for FREE?!?! Don't ban me, it was a glitch 343

[woofwoof301]

SO I went onto Xbox today and loaded up Halo 4 as usual. THere was a popup that said: "The Crimson map pack has been released!" I was like, oh boy, I have no money. only 240 msp. So, just to get that little yellow star off my main menu, I clicked Xbox LIve Marketplace. Instead of the usual lists of stuff we can buy, it instead popped up: "Confirm purchase: Crimson map pack". Just to be sure, I checked the price, and it said: "THis purchase: 0msp Your amount: 240msp." So I pressed download thinking it was a update, like the way they make multiplayer updates in Battlefield 3.

 

I finish downloading it, and then I go into custom games out of curiousity, and BOOM! I have the maps. I'm like: "HOLY POOP!" and then I launch up a custom game. Lo and behold it works.

 

Is this a glitch or something?

Did you buy the LE?

[Serenity]

BAN.

[woofwoof301]

Did you buy the LE?

No.

 

And lol I just realized how much of a crying baby I Just sounded like. DOn't get me wrong guys, I'm just a mature gamer a little bit too hype over free content. It's like believing in Santa all over again.

I wonder how long it will take for M$ to take it away

[Harbinger]

From what I hear 343 is giving it for free now, but I may be mistaken.

Possible things that could have happened:

• You bought the War Games Map Pass
  
• Someone on your console bought the War Games Map Pass
  

 

The restrictions of use on the War Games Map Pass can be file transferred and are inherited throughout the hole console. If you file transferred an xbox profile who bought the pass, that might also be the case.

NO no, It's just me. I'm the only one on here, and I never buy anything from the xbox live marketplace (dlc). That's why Im so hype I got something for free that I didn't expect, and also worried that MS might ban me or something stupid because I downloaded something I should've.

[DOCH]

You took my map pack!

 

I got LE and this morning I saw it came out and was like sweat but it still said I had to buy it. So I came on the forum and was like 343 jipped me

 

Any ways 343 said they where working on it

[OMG Treason]

This happened to me too.

[Christian.]

Same here and nobody plays on my xbox besides me.

[Dread0124]

Same got it free, Had 390 MS points before i downloaded and 390 after downloading, didnt buy map pass or LE

[ProudDrunkIrish]

Downloading it as I type, antone without LE or war games pass might as well get it. Not sure if its meant to be for free but it is,

 

I have std. edition and no war games pass, no ms points and nobody else plays on my xbox so its either free full stop or some kind of glitch

[RedStarRocket91]

Haha, lucky you - Merry Christmas!

 

Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it. At some point they might just patch it so that you won't be able to access the maps without actually buying them - until then, think of it as a 'try before you buy'!

 

Also, here is some proof you should be okay!

[Destroyaaa]

aww man, as soon as i saw this i ran to download it and it didnt work lol

[Chris Hansen]

Well. That's some bull****.

[DoctorB77]

Hmmm...Well that was a waste of 2000MSP.

 

343 has been having a lot of issues with xbox. They should stop with all of these "CODES AND OFFERS/DEALS"

 

They keep messing up

[Caboose The Ace]

one word promo

[W0LV3RINE420]

I`m downloading it right now and it seems to be free. And I just bought a MSP card. Oh well I will use it for something else.
