Because MS wanted to cram in all the DLC before the next generation launches, people no longer have much of a reason to stick it out for the game. Besides, y'know, actually playing it and enjoying it. Weren't there Halo 2 map packs launching well into... holy crap, 2007?! Wow. That [i]is[/i] late, I had no idea.
inb4its because the game sucks

inb4inb4opcantinb4 maybe.
I should point out that H4 was my personal GotY 2012, but it didn't have much competition. Trials Evolution was the other frontrunner.

I'd just like to say that, for the record, I probably bought that 2007 map pack and I'm [u]certain[/u] it was absolutely worth it. Also, this raises a startling concern that I've thought about before. If I want to do a Halo 2 LAN with the map packs, how am I going to transfer them from my Xbox 360 to another one?
