LE Owners get screwed AGAIN?

Just got back from Gamestop.  The timmy working the register was trying to get me to purchase the Season Pass for the maps.  I said, no, I have LE so that is not necessary.  He then explains to me that somehow LE gets me 9 maps, while the Season Pass gets me 10 so I will be one short.

 

WTF?

 

Can anyone else confirm this?

He's talking about this map designed by Gamestop in the shape of a dollar symbol: $

Don't worry bro, you are good-to-go.

LE and season pass get access to the same map pack that has 9 maps.  I have gotten to the point where I hate going to Gamestop.  Started ordering most of my stuff from Best Buy. 

 

And also just can't resist, "BOOM HEADSHOT!!!!"  God I love that video.

You guys beat me to it.  Went back and found multiple sites that described the map packs: 9 in 3 sets of 3:

Details on the three map packs that will make up the Halo 4 War Games Map Pass are listed below. By the way—those purchasing the limited edition of Halo 4 will automatically get the War Games Map Pass.

Crimson Map Pack (December release timeframe)

Maps: Wreckage, Harvest, Shatter

Description: Witness the chaos of a clash of civilizations in Wreckage, with its blend of claustrophobic spaces and dangerous exposures and venture into the human colony environs of Harvest, and explore a human foray on an alien moon in Shatter.

Majestic Map Pack (February release timeframe)

Maps: Landfall, Monolith, Skyline

Description: Landfall’s emphasis is on infantry battles against a glittering ocean on a distant world, while Monolith exposes you to the naked vacuum of space – and the firepower of opposing teams, and Skyline’s distinctly industrial feel provides new challenges in somewhat familiar, but occasionally confined spaces.

Castle Map Pack (April release timeframe)

Maps: Daybreak, Outcast, Perdition

Description: Daybreak is set in a military facility against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the warrens, canyons and arches of an alien edifice, and Perdition takes players into the heart of an urban sprawl, with tactical speed and situational awareness its key feature.

I think Gamestop is just trying to screw everyone.

The gamestop I went to had employees saying that if customers buy the map pass from this advertisement they were giving everyone, the maps would be ready to download by "2 am"

I just shook my head.

Is this the place where you got the game early?

My LE pre-order went poorly at EBGames.

It was at freezing so I decided to go near 1am. The cleark had said I'd be able to just breeze right in. Nope. I gave up and went home.

Went back at 10am and picked it up. My wife asked if I got everything? I realized they hadn't given me the pre-order armour and weapon skin. They said it's in the box. I said it doesn't say it is, so it isn't. So they they gave me a BR weapon skin DLC card. I asked where the armour skin was? They said the weapon skin code was for both. I said it doesn't say it on the card so it's only for the weapon skin and that they should know that. So we wrote up a note and I would check back later.

I was absolutely correct. No pre-order skins in the LE box and they eventually had to give me a code for the armour skin. I don't blame the clerks for not knowing because nobody tells them anything but when they make up stories to cover their ignorance I get a bit lippy.

All is okay for now.

Yikes!  I hope I got all of the codes on my receipts or my dumb ass will have to go back to gamestop.

I gave up the "convenience" of going to Game$top and just ordered from Amazon. 

I went in and worked half a day yesterday. When I got home, the game was waiting by my front door. My pre-order goodies were emailed to me a few hours later.

Nothing but positive things to be said from my experiences with Amazon.

Where is the "in-game store" that LE users will need to access the map packs thru? 

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong thread, or I am off topic.

I got my LE at EB Games (yup still EB in Canada), and I got the Arctic skin and the Forest Skin codes. The Arctic came on an offical XBL card and the forst code, the cashier had to cut out for me on a piece of paper. He was complaing on how their head office sent them that instead of the cards.

I put in all of my codes and nothing showed up anywhere. I'm guessing if I try again it will tell me the codes are no good.

This is apparently the thing that gets you the Map Pass and all the other little things like emblems.  It's stupid as hell to not have its own card with WAR GAMES MAP PASS in big bold letters.  This is mainly what we paid the $40 extra for, it shouldn't be hidden in another code.

I'm prolly posting in the wrong thread, or off topic.

I still don't understand what, or where the Halo 4 in game store is.
