That's right.

-Exclusive in game nameplate and avatar
-Halo 3: ODST updated graphics
-Relic map remastered
How do you guys feel about this?
I'm pretty dang excited about it, but then I remember the game doesn't even work properly yet. Matchmaking works alone, but not with a party. That's a big problem.

I like free content. I don't like it as an apology when it's fairly substantial though because it A. Isolates the fan base and people who paid $60 for it on Dec 20th that are paying the same for less. B. Justifies their original screw up and makes it seem beneficial. C. It reinforces negative behaviors found in gamers. The cynic in me says that they might have made this free anyways and some marketing guy said "Hey I know how we can win back goodwill and make more money off their blindness. All we have to do is give the people who experienced online issues the ODST dlc "free of charge" which was gona be free anyways and slap a $20 price tag on it for those who didn't and those dummies will be none the wiser that we're making money off of our mistake muahahahaahahaaaaa"
