Too bad you have to pay freaking $10.00...apparently the guys over at Bungie are not satisfied with their MILLIONS of dollars they made off of the Halo 3 release. Freaking greedy, I really did not expect them to charge for these.
Who do you expect made the millions?

I know this is slightly off topic but I have been playing halo scince november 2001 and I have always wanted to have the option to change the weather on some of the maps. Even if it is just picking between night and day I believe it would be awsome to play a game of zombies in the dead of night on any out door map. It would cirtainly add many different possiblilities to forge. I remember you guys (Bungie) were talking about all the new things you could do with the sky; I just wish you would let us tinker with it even if it is just night and day.

The maps look great. Halo 3 desperately needs some more maps. I home that more are to come in future. Now all we need is a patch and we will be set.

yeah not very impressed.

even more mid-huge sized human maps, really not what the game needs.


and 10quid, aswell. not worth it at all.

see you in spring!

  • 11.19.2007 12:50 PM PDT

Oh thank God. Thanks Bungie! Even though we are paying you. They do seem a little expensive, and I have never complained that I remember about your decisions. But whatever. I'll dish it out all the same.
Thanks Bungie! I love you guys!
And Standoff looks GORGEOUS!

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

What are the traditional settings for a game of Kill Barry?

wow, some of you are really pathetic. Why don't you just suck bungie's balls?

This is really upsetting. Two of those maps looks like they were taken out of the level "Crows Nest" which was a horrible level for the campaign. (lets not forget the last two levels of course, which were obviously much worse)

But seriously, like bungie haven't made enough money on the H3 xbox, controllers, backpacks, headsets, missile cases(?), and let alone the game itself. Bungie might as well take a giant crap on all of us because this just isn't fair.

Greed is a horrible, horrible thing when it comes to money.

With Call of Duty and the new frontlines demo coming out soon this game just isn't worth my time anymore.

Just kidding,
Anywho the new maps look cool, I'm excited that they're coming out so soon. I wasn't expecting new content (or new podcasts) until next year.

  • 11.19.2007 12:55 PM PDT

The maps look pretty sweet...I am however disappointed that we're being charged $10 for 3 maps especially with the record breaking amount of money we've already thrown at this game.

Any word on new achievements to go with the new DLC?

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Not going to buy these maps. I will wait for when the maps are released for free. Cause the last time I dwnlded maps on Halo2 I didnt have them for 3 months, and they were not worth the 4$ worth of headache to never get a response back or too about the situation.
I was screwed over last time I am not having it happen again, so in turn by spring time there free. I can wait. I am not forking out about 10$ for 3 maps and then 10$ for another 3 maps until the game has Halo4 made. I am not being suckered into this one bit. Its sad too, cause they look interesting. Oh well, HERES TO FREE FOR SPRING SINCE almost 70bucks is out on XBOX LIVE!

Good stuff - I'll pay double.

Two questions:

1. Roughly when should we expect a patch and what should we expect it to include?
2. Where is "Purple Rain"?

MAJOR IMP4CT/greg m.

Quote- Christopher Barrett: Standoff, or Bunkerworld as it’s known internally was one of the maps we had originally planned as one of the Halo 3 release multiplayer maps. Because of time we ended up postponing it until DLC, and here it is!


If this map was going to be released in halo 3 then shouldn't it be released for free? If it took more time to produce then shouldn't it have been released for free on the marketplace? Instead bungie introduces A map pack not even 2 months after the game release. Doesn't that mean they are just money hungry?

$10 bucks for three maps? HAHAHAHAHA. I'd rather spend $100 to have them fix the flawed melee system. Nice.
