Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack Is Free Via A Glitch

Oh, I just went on and checked and the price was 0! I'm dl'ing it at the moment, very nice. I'm in Japan. (FYI)

Yeah I checked last night with two different accounts on two different consoles and it was 800 for me, even after I went back out the dash then tried again.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

I figured out why its not working for everyone and I don't think it has anything to do with your country. If you played the game within the first few weeks of release, 343 sent you an email that contains a code which unlocks every specialization in the game. Everyone that has used that code can use the glitch to get these maps for free, if you haven't then it won't work. Also the email was sent to the account you originally used to setup xbl membership. So for me it was sent to my yahoo even though I never use that email and my account is now tied to my hotmail.

I'm not sure if the glitch still works but I would recommend entering the code and then trying again.

I can confirm this to be true!!! Downloading the map pack as I type. Funny thing is, my son just brought the specialization notification to my attention yesterday and he coincidentally just unlocked them today. As soon as I saw your post, I ran up to my kid's box and checked. Sho nuff.....0 points.

 

Thank you so much bro. I just wanna ask, did you figure it out yourself of did you find this out through someone else?

Bought the limited edition for noting!!! Damn!! Slightly less value then it should have been!

I wish they'd do this more often like in halo 2. You pay to download it for a couple of months then it becomes free.

I downloaded the free maps to my xbox first and then called my friend to tell him to do it. He didn't have access to his xbox at the time but since he had recovered his account to my xbox before, he asked me to sign onto his account and download the maps from my xbox. But when I went to do it for him the maps were no longer free. I tried it with his brothers account and it didn't work either. At the time I thought they had figured the glitch out and fixed it. But when I saw other users were still able to download I figured it must be something else. I asked him if he ever unlocked the specializations and sure enough he hadn't so I just connected the dots

Bad news...



Ok, well at least we get to sample it then. I'm sure it will cause some people to buy it now that wouldn't have otherwise.

That sucks. I still haven't had a chance to play on the maps, have finals this week. I'll definitely try them out but I'm not sure I'll pay for them. I'm more looking forward to symmetrical competitive maps for 4v4.

And I really want a 2v2 playlist already

The uproar from the jealous Halo fans was probably the main reason.
