I have to say I'm disappointed this first map pack does not include a remake of Lockout or Midship.

800 Points for 3 maps, yeah right ...

Maybe I'll get them ... NOT.

  • 11.19.2007 2:53 PM PDT

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

w00t! Finally, new maps! But.... only 3 maps...? For 800 points (which is really 10 bucks).... and Foundry isn't even really a map...? I dunno.... sounds like they're cutting us a little cheep here.... but am I going to buy them? Hell, yeah!

Looks cool, the levels remind me of other games too. I just want a weather related map and one in space to make me happy.

Despite the abundance of criticism, I think Bungie has done an SUPERB job on the new map pack.
Standoff is aesthetically pleasing, to say the least. I'm sure that battles there will not be short of epic.
Rat's Nest is going to bring that "campaign feel" to multiplayer, which I have sorely missed.
Foundry has so much potential that it is far more that one mere map.
Can't wait, keep up the good work.

I'm pretty excited about the new maps. Sure, they're a bit overpriced (600 points would have been better), but they look pretty good. And it sounds like people are underestimating Foundry, it doesn't sound like it's a "Forge only" map. It might have been better though if they had switched out Rat's Nest or Foundry for a smaller symmetrical style map, as that's what it sounds like a lot of people want.

And as for the "Halo 3 maps suck" comments, I don't know what game you're playing but I'm enjoying almost all the maps (Epitaph not so much). If there's anything I'm tired of it's the gametypes, no more Territories on Isolation please!! Personally I can't wait for Multi-Flag on Standoff!

  • 11.19.2007 3:13 PM PDT

i can buy a six pack for that price
wtf

800 points for 3 maps that will get old in 2 weeks?

No thank you very much.

EDITED BECAUSE SOMEONE ALREADY SAID WHAT I SAID BEFORE.. SAD FACE.

We are the Bungie community, and thus, by definition, we are given the right to complain about any work that Bungie produces, mentions, or even thinks about, with no limits set by knowledge, logic, common sense, or understanding of sarcasm!

Those maps look great! Can't wait to play and forge them!

wast of 10 bucks..... ill pass

A MUST READ!

Let me just say that i am sick and -blam!- tired of game developers selling a $60 game that is truly only part of the game. now don't get it twisted i think halo 3 is an excellent addition to the series but it is suddenly a trend to sell us only a part of the game and then charge us an additional $10 for the rest of it, i mean god damn you guys are -blam!- loaded do you really need to milk us for all we are worth? now i don't think it is a completely bad idea for the introduction of new maps, i mean i was fine when new maps came out in halo 2, but those maps were released well after the game came onto store shelves. Seriously halo 3 hasn't even been out for 2 months yet, in fact bungie was telling us about new maps coming soon when they released it, if they are still working on the mother -blam!- they why are they selling it to us now. This is not only happening with bungie however, another big fan of this is red octane and the other companies at work in GH 3 who are already trying to sell you additional tracks just after the release of the games. I guess i would be happier if these guys could just be honest and charge a huge -blam!- fee upfront instead of trying to slip in hidden fees.

I appologize for any punctuation and or grammical errors.


While downloadable content seems to be growing in price, I don't think they intentionally try and hide charges. They do have deadlines to meet. However, if they say that something was planned on being in the original release but they ran out of time, it shouldn't be charged for at the later date.

i dont get it.

first bungie is going to charge 10 freaking dollars for 3 maps!!! 3 maps!! what the....

also, there aren't any remakes included? ok? i dont get it. the community cries out for some classic maps to be redone and bungie just sits there ignoring it. what they could have done, or should do is surprise their loyal fanbase with some nice gifts come christmas mainly

I think that Bungie was working on these maps before Halo 3 came out, and since they wouldn't have known what maps people really wanted remade until after Halo 3 was released, they couldn't put any remakes in the first batch of maps. Now, if Bungie were to not include any remakes in its next group of maps, then I think that complaining about that would be just. Still, I'll just wait and see. (I'd like Turf and Terminal remakes, but that's just me.)

  • 11.19.2007 3:33 PM PDT

Don't tell me what I can't do.

Remember, im not so sure bungie is getting the money. You have to pay 800 microsoft points to get it. I just hope it becomes free eventually. Even then I might get it, but I still hope it becomes free. And I wonder if the satellites on standoff move. It would be cool if they moved when one team was winning or when a bomb was detonated or a flag was stolen. It would be way cool.
