Also @Sam:

A) The Main Complaint is that these are rather small DLC packs that are being announced while the game is still in development. Similar to the BF4 DLC that's been announced, I see no reason why Activision/EA wouldn't have the developers implement the DLC into the main game, instead of announcing additional features we have to pay for BEFORE we even have the final product. Being told "There will be DLC", as in the case of Skyrim, is okay. We get the full game quickly, developers asses what the community wants, and a couple months down the road we get an expansion pack. Announcing "Here's a camo pack that we aren't even sure you guys will want since the game isn't out yet" is an annoying as hell strategy.

B) Halo 4, 5, and 6 being annnounced at the same time is not anywhere near similar to the situation at hand. Those are three full games, being developed over a long period of years. We are not talking about skin packs that can be easily implemented into the game on release. Everything that's going to be a part of 5 and 6 could not have been in 4. Furthermore, Spartan Ops wasn't this kind of DLC. It was an episodic mini campagin, where levels were unlocked FOR FREE every week. When part 2 came out, the Download was also FREE because Spartan Ops was considered the main game. Neither situation (Reclaimer Trilogy announcement or Spartan Ops) is similar to the situation I was complaining about.
