will I have to pay for the heroic maps to play them/see them in the matchmaking playlists?

thanks!

Outstanding stuff - I'm excited

I'm ready to try my football variant in Foundry.

I downloaded the maps but they aren't showing up in custom games or forge... I restarted my xbox too, and they still don't show up.

Remember, trust is calculated daily, and the maximum value possible changes every day too. Since the titles are based on the percentage your trust value is compared to the maximum value, it can easily change if the max value goes up further than you go up in the intervening time, even if you haven't had any negative items against you.

In other words, no the system isn't buggy, stop asking why your title changed, I'm not going to tell you.

Just got the maps a coupla' minutes ago. First impressions are good, oosted by how the download only took 5 minutes. Man, do I love being conected to JANET.

The maps are really good in my opinion, they could have done a little better in standoff, but all in all. Great

Lawl, I am teh Master of Ness!

I wish I could have tried them in matchmaking, but oh well...

I got a real quick look at the maps before going to work. I must say, I think they look awesome. Only found the sniper on foundry's basic setup though, still looking on standoff and rat's nest later. The foundry's weapons were quite easy to find. My impressions:

Foundry- The map looks to be an amazing thing for Forge. I really like the possibility and look forward to downloading the "empty" map varient whent it goes online (if it's online already, can someone let me know where?). However, I dont' think this map will be as great for online. Maybe it's cuz I haven't tried it yet, but running around seems to make me feel like the items are so jumbled that it won't be fun. I can see slayer being a blast, but objective games could be very hard.

Rat's Nest- Out of the new maps, this one has to be the favorite one, atleast til I see if the matchmaking is as good as I think it will be. In my opinion, the possibilities for objective games make this a truly strategic game. You can take the outer circuit on a vehicle to your enemy's side, there's a loop I think in there that you can run through, or of course you can go right through the middle. Seems pretty good, plus the weapons are in the middle, making it a fight for the good weapons to aid you in your objectives.

Standoff- Definitely not Blood Gulch, but nice. I can see that keeping the gate closed will be a major objective in objective games. With that gate open, people can snipe into the base (if this place has a sniper (haven't found it yet)), attack through the windows, or sneak in the back. Another great CTF or Bomb game to mess around with.

I didn't mention much slayer since I was looking at these maps as more of a objective thing, but I'm sure slayer is great on all of them. Can't wait to play around with them in matchmaking!

bungie, there are no sniper rifles, or hornets on standoff


If you read previous news posts/updates, Bungie flat-out says they specifically left snipers out of the Standoff forge palette because the map is too wide-open for it and a single sniper could control any location from a single point.

Oh and, FYI, those aren't landing pads.... they's missle silos. I wouldn't suggest putting something like a Hornet there. The map isn't large enough for it anyway.

I am going to DL the map pack when i get off of work, and I hope that the maps are all that they are cracked up to be and all of these playlist problems are fixed, and with 3 maps costing 800 microsoft points, it better work.
