If you all didn&#8217;t know, Microsoft has a policy against giving DLC away free that is attached to achievements. However, the forum poster below came up with a pretty nifty idea. My thoughts after his response.<\/div>\n<div><strong><\/strong><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>MZealous;2899401<\/strong> wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">At this point I couldn&#8217;t care less about the fact I payed money and others didn&#8217;t. Just remove the ability to gain achievements through the DLC (until purchased) and release the DLC to all making it a requirement for necessary playlists. I&#8217;m even starting to dislike Haven now I&#8217;ve played it so much. I&#8217;ve probably played more games on Haven than I have played game in total on Reach&#8230;We may even see a population spike.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now THAT&#8217;s a novel idea. It might actually work. Essentially, everyone can play. For those that really want to go for the achievements, they pay a modest &#8220;fee&#8221; to unlock the opportunity to get them. As for what that fee is, since the DLC has been out over a year now, make it $1-2. Then make all the DLC mandatory (free), with\u00a0achievements accessible for that fee.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nI&#8217;ve paid for all of them. I really wouldn&#8217;t mind if they were made free. At this point, it can&#8217;t hurt anything and as said, might actually give a bump up in population.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What do you folks think? Want to see free DLC, if the\u00a0achievements weren&#8217;t attached? Would you then pay that modest fee to unlock the ability to get them?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hit that reply button and let me hear from you!<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I was perusing Halo Waypoint&#8217;s forum and came upon a thread asking for the DLC in Halo 4 to be free.
