People, shut up about Foundry being "exclusively forge". It's just what we wanted from start: full customization in forge. That doesn't mean the original layout sucks! It might as well be the next midship.

Sweet, so just because we're a fan of something, doesn't mean we can be upset or dissapointed? No, we must mindlessly serve and obey, and to take it up the poo shoot right?

Was that price really necessary, Bungie? Really? Because I fell like my wallet has just been violated.


Unless I get a points card for Christmas, no way in Hell am I paying $10 for three maps.

  • 11.19.2007 1:44 PM PDT

The new maps look pretty good, and I don't mind paying for new maps in the future, but IMO, these maps should have been free, wheres your X-mas spirit bungie.

800 points for only 3 maps?

Rip off given how few maps came with launch; I'm disappointed.

Bungie, Any news on that Moonbase alpha map you were talking about a few weeks back? I was hoping/thought that would be included in the DLC.

Next set of maps. These are the first batch.


That said, I propose a boycott unless the price drops to 500 points or less.


EDIT: I have made a group protesting the price. Please join.

I'm excited about these maps. I can see why people are upset, because they want symmetrical FFA maps... Still, if they just want small FFA maps, there are already a lot of those in Halo 3. I'm personally happy that Bungie is adding larger maps. You know, Bungie doesn't get all of the money from Halo 3. Microsoft gets a lot of it too. Ten dollars may seem steep, but I think Bungie is doing a smart thing by offering Matchmaking for those who have the maps and those that don't, at least until they're available for free. I'll probably buy these maps when they come out.

Also, I'm fine with Bungie holding out a multiplayer map from Halo 3's launch because they wanted more time to work on it. They still gave us eleven great multiplayer maps. I'd be happier if we were getting more than three maps, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

BUNGIE if your listening these maps look amazing and I'll pay the ten bucks instantly ... but that is more than the average game so there's a lot of pissed people .....it seems like it wouldn't be worth making people mad and getting bad press......... just my thoughts on it anyway

Frog blasting the vent core since 1996.

"All three maps will become available for free download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace in Spring 2008, just prior to the next wave of new Halo 3 multiplayer maps." - XBox.com

If you don't want to shell out 800 points for the maps now that's fine, but you've got your options. Either pay up now or wait until Spring '08 - there's no use complaining about it.

Subject: $120 wasnt enough

Eat Me!

I feel kind of let down. For the people who went for the legendary edition all we really got was a lot of extra "stuff". I would have liked to see some perks for dishing out that kind of money. Don't get me wrong, I think its a raw deal for the $60 crowd too. I'm just saying it would have been nice if the better editions comped the dlc's, then it wouldn't make it sting so much when i have to prove my fan-hood again.

I've never been one to complain about paying for downloadable content but seriously, 800 points for 3 maps? Only 3 maps? Is that it? The maps look great but sorry that is pretty steep.

DLC has to be the worst thing to happend to gameing. Yes the creators of these maps should be payed and credeted but come on it's only been like 3 months since the game came out. A year later I could understand paying for them but not this soon.

Maps look good btw.

Standoff looks a lot like a Bloodgulch/Sidewinder hybrid or something, I can't wait to try it.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

Standoff looks breathtaking.

Cool! Thanks Bungie. Too bad I don't have any MS points.

  • 11.19.2007 2:05 PM PDT

Heh, they would come out on my birthday :)

Great! I love it! Not sure whether my parents allow me to pay 10 bucks for 3 maps, but I'll eventually get them once I played them at friends I guess! :D

Prbably not because your parents have been alive longer and could look at it and say "that's a waste of money." And then you would say "yes it is but the more I spend on dlc the more ms can over charge. It's only $10."
