Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

I don't mind paying the $10.

But seriously, these maps COULD HAVE EASILY SHIPPED WITH HALO 3.

I buy a LOT of Bungie T-Shirts, gear, etc.
So the money is not the issue for me.

It's the fact that the game itself has some obvious faults that need a patch and we are getting new maps instead.

Seriously. FOR EXAMPLE: Unless you are the HOST of the party, the members of your party have NO IDEA what playlist you are about to play until you start searching for games! WTF is up with that?

Honestly, Bungie, you guys are great... but give us a flippin' patch for the game instead of rolling out "new" maps that have probably been ready for this strategic release date, just in time for Christmas to make some extra bling bling.

Grrrrrrrr.
I seriously dislike when you guys pull crap like this.

I think people are missing the point here. Have we all forgotten that we should be thankful for actually getting new maps?

10 dollars. If you can't go out and make that in a week, you seriously need to re-examine yourself.


It's people who think they need to be thankful to a company which provides a service for a price who are the ones who really ought to be re-examining themselves, not the other way around. This is a buisness decision; nothing more.

If you can make a product - regardless of how much money or hours have to go into it - and that product makes you a profit, it should be made. It's common sense. It's smart business. Anybody who thinks, "You guys should just be thankful that Bungie even bothered to do this for you," is either ignorant or too biased to realize how the system actually works. They made the levels because they will turn a profit and, obviously, be worth the investment of time and manpower - not because they wanted to please their fans.

Thank a company that provides a service for free - that, at the very least, is their form of payment. Bungie (and subsequently Microsoft) are going to get more than enough thanks when thousands of kids shell out ten bucks to play the new levels. Anything more is blatant kissing of the arse.

All that being said, Bungie still deserves to be recognized for its listening to its customers better than any other developer out there. You can thank them for that if you want, but not for making you three new maps at $3 a pop.

Most of you people have no clue how much effort goes into map desighn. Being in the Halo CE community for about a year now. I have experienced some of it. It's not easy. Since I mostly model environments. And I have to say standup is a beautiful map. As I said you guys have no clue how much effort is put into the creation of this. You might have been playing halo since it came out but that doesn't mean anything. Technology is increasing, things are going to cost more. Is it that hard to earn $10. Like I see that really pathetic of you people.

The new maps look awesome Bungie. The $10 will be well worth it. That'll also keep most of the cheap -blam!-s who think they deserve them for free at bay at least til spring. Game on!

okay, first of all i hope bungie already though about this.... great game were released this month "Mass effect" and "Assassins Creed", many people bought this games and are playing them right now... so bungie want to release something in order to keep people playing their game. halo was sold cheaper than any regular. When i bought the game i had in mind spending more money in downloads, but hey!! wakeup bungie, the bucks i had in mind for your downloads will run out with my first download, which have, lets admit it; 3 awesome maps, but one of them was to be in the original game (in my opinion and most of us say that a content that was to be on the original game must be for free, if dead line won you it's not our fault). you guys also talked about a purple map which wasn't announced here i hope you don't release a download every 2 moths.

i would recommend to bungie, to sell better this pack; maybe by posting more pictures or a video, because a lot of people will think it twice before buying it. other thing that you could do (Bungie) is to give us the surprise of adding a remake make of halo 2, which is less work to do and it's a way to bring back classic maps, or add a special ARMOR for the people who pay & download this maps (not the ones who get it for free), the armor idea it's great in my opinion. i donno just add something to this pack, you guys have a bit less than a month, you could do something extra for the pack, a surprise.... because right now it looks like something is missing...if you don't have time for this maybe you guy could release in a future a pack with only classic maps (remakes) from halo 2 for free, this could show people that you are not just thinking about taking out money from your fans, which right now could look like you are.

i just wanted to say that i miss to see a new download from bungie that says "FREE", like in halo 2, maybe you don’t think about it, but this gave you many fans.... any way, the maps looks great, it would be a shame if people doesn’t download them... so please post more pictures. And have in mind that we are not going to be spending 10 buck peer download,

Hope some bungie guy reads the comments and count with me for THIS download

Personally I would just like to download the forgable map for $3.33. I would like to choose which maps to download. But to me the other maps will be complete Big Team Battle rubbish that on which competitive players will never play and I will never play. I know the "forgable map" (Some-assembly-required) will be used in competitive games but unless MLG settings for it come out before it comes out for free I probably won't buy it.

You know, Gears went through this same fit when it was publically stated Epic wanted to release the pack for free... here we are months later and everyone seems happy. Those really interested in the pack didn't mine the cost, those who took exception to the cost decided to wait. Can't we just burry the issue as it's already passé? Here's ultimately how it'll happen. A large group of people will buy the maps and play on them, an equally large group will refuse to out of principle and wait for Spring. Win-Win for everyone, including MS/Bungie (businesses are in the game to make a profit). Let's stop the mindless protesting and complaining, it won't do anyone a bit of good.

I would like to resolve a couple of issues that I have noticed that people aren't reading the article and understanding what these maps are about and what Bungie plans to do..... the first being that there Will be 3 new maps released that are fully playable in customs, MM, and Forge. Additionally these maps will be enabled with specialized customization options that the other maps did not have i.e. placeable mancannons and Foundry in particular will have an almost fully rearrangable set-up! This does not mean that this map will download blank!!!! They already have a deafult set-up that no-doubt will be in MM.

Ok, moving on to matchmaking, people are complaining that matchmaking will be messed up because not everybody will have the maps and that BTB will be impossible to play. READ THE ARTICLE! MM will identify what players have what maps and will seperate them from each other. Yes, in the beginning we will be waiting a long time to get a game loaded because not everyone is going to have the maps, guess what DLC maps on every other game have the exact same problems. Nothing can be done to fix that, even if the maps were free people that already had the maps would just be complaining that it's taking too long to find a game in MM because the server decided that it wants to load a DLC map. Sadly, someone just keeps asking if anyone knows whether the (DLC exclusive playlist) will be found under Ranked or Social? Did you read the article? Cause I did and you know what it didn't specify, so what makes you think that anyone here has powers of telepathy and knows the answer to that question????? You can only assume that it would be social for obvious reasons, but we know what happens to you when you ASS-U-ME.

So for everyone complaining about only getting 1-2 maps for matchmaking and one "Forge" only map, please stop posting and take the time to read the article again.

You, sir, deserve one of Luke's steaks. ;o) One of the most sensible posts I've read here and I feel the need to quote the above snippet for emphasis since people really should read the whole article instead of jumping to conclusions. Well done!

wow i've been waiting for this since after the 3rd week of Halo 3 (which is when I kinda got bored of the maps). Adding man cannons, sheild doors, and an unknown secret object???? I wonder how the man cannons will work.

if you remember, Bungie first sold a map pack for Halo 2 as a completely seperate game for, um, like 20 bucks i think? But it had a lot more than 3 maps. It wasn't until a couple of months after that Bungie released the maps as a free download over xbox live. So expect to see it free soon, but just not right now.

I'm extremely excited for Jodrell Bank, I'm literally giddy. Blood Gulch was my favorite, I thought it was significantly better than Coag and I'm looking forward to a map that is often compared to the greats.

Bungie made two mistakes..... one telling us some maps didn't make it because of time.(who's fault is that! so we as fans have to pay for it!)
two don't tell us they are going to be free a few months later.(nobody likes to hear stuff they pay for is gonna be free) It's like a price drop on a game that just came out a few weeks ago. It's just something you don't do. And for those who say it's just 10$, YOU are missing the point completely. Were not complaining about the money. It's the principle. Now if they would promise us a deal like all extra content for halo 3 at a fixed cost of 800MS points thats different.

However this way Bungie can just keep doing this every 3 months and charging 10$ lets say they come out with 12 new maps by the end of next year. (that will be eventually free) That comes to 40$. I for one will be protesting and hope many of you change your mind and make a stand.

not to mention how many other great games that are out there.......like COD4 which came out with 16 maps.... none that charged us extra for....... COD4 is HALO 3's biggest competitor right now. If bungie thinks this announcement is gonna bring back players from COD4 they are greatly mistaken.
Also if microsoft forced them to charge for it then they should have lowered it to like 100pts or something cheap.
This news makes me sad because I believe most of my firends would go back to halo 3 if bungie gave them a reason to. Right now 3 new maps that cost 10$ is not screaming come back to halo 3. If it were 5$ it would be like give it a try you'll come back!. 10$ say's.....We don't need you and we already got the maps because we work for Bungie HAHA!!!
But we as gamers always get the last laugh and say your not worth it.
