That's why my brother quit playing Halo 2 multiplayer (he was really high ranked and pretty much played it whenever he wasn't at work or watching basketball).
I recall when Epic had a fight with MS over having to charge for 4 (IIRC) Gears maps most of the Xbox fanboys seemed to side with MS since $10 for 4 maps isn't bad. They missed what happens when a company finds out it can get away with something like that. First time it's $10 for 4 maps, then 3 maps (does the forge map not count for some reason?), then it's 2 maps.
I know I know they are in business to profit but with games that have sold over 2 million copies at $60 a pop, does it really hurt that much to give away the maps for free? Especially since the improved multiplayer could encourage more people to either buy the game or not trade it in (thereby preventing someone else from buying it without paying you). Each case of that happening is the equivalent of around 4 people paying to download the game.
