Its just Bungie doing what it does best. Failing.

These maps are freaking huge. Why is it that with every new halo game, the maps get bigger, the weapons become more close range, and the weapons that actually take skill to use become less powerful. This dumbing down of the entire halo community is getting ridiculous. I didnt buy Halo 3 to see who has the bestest AR skillz, or to see who is camping around the next corner with a mauler, or a hammer, or sword, or shotgun.

Get on with the Hardcore already, and come out with some maps that aren't ridiculously huge, and have less obstacles, so that everyone cant just run away from you constantly.

Halo 1 FTW

If you guys gave us a map big enough to drive a pelican. I dont think i would know what to do. It would be so ungodly amazing.
Having a driver then 7 other people in the back, and dropping them off at the enemies base. Grabbing the flag or planting the bomb.

Seriously, how cool would that be?

So when are the playlists being updated?


Oh, gawd, I just realized, we gotta wait for them to straggle into work, have some coffee and donuts. Maybe a couple of meetings to talk about how much they made off the downloads already. Someone will finally stand up and stretch and say "so, who wants to get that playlist update started?".

I'd be shocked if we saw the damn thing before noon.

What? You expected better? hahahahaha!!!

P.S. New here? (jk)


Lolz, still eating my donut. It's tasty!

its funny i looked the maps over.
Yes i said i wasn't going to buy the maps.
And now that i did.. (lol i was lucky cause i got them on monday oops microsoft and bungie lol)
But i wise i didn't spend the points on them.
Not only are they not on match making right now , but they also aren't good enough to spend 800 points on them.
They look great and i can tell they will be a blast.
But wait on it, its a 470 mb download and most people will take a day to download them.
Then when you do have them , you really can only play them with a group of friends that also have them.
It will be extremely rare to get one of the new maps in a social or ranked playlist right now.
So sadly , what really is going on is people spend 10 bucks on 3 maps they really can't jump in and play with.
But rather now they hope that maybe one day they can play them.. by that time they will be free.
As the saying goes .. fool me once , shame on you .. fool me twice.. shame on me.
I will not be fooled twice by microsoft trying to make a couple extra bucks.
I fell for yah bungie for having to put up with all the -BLAM- that is going on because of these maps..
If they were free , they would actually make more money out of them , then making them cost money.

Never Give up!

Never Fail!

OMFG

bungie :(

I just bought the map pack only to find that i cant play on matchmaking

From all of the weekly updates and other information I read, I expected the playlist updates to go live as soon as the new maps were released.

Making people wait to actually be able to use their new maps sort of punishes the early adopters, who as a group are probably the most ardent Bungie supporters.

Please let us try these bad boys out in matchmaking, and make a news post when you do. Thanks!

I read this post twice, and I have come to the conclusion that you are an idiot.

'If they were free, they would actually make more money out of them , then making them cost money.' - I think you should go teach Economics 101.

Hmm... I think these maps have many possibilities! Foundry is a forge masters DREAM!!! Uh, after watching the Red Vs. Blue feature about the new maps I went and looked at the bases in Standoff and I couldn't find the trigger to set the one room on fire... Was that just a spoof or am I missing something???

LOL! Nice Lakeview Cub! Though I do feel that the price was a bit steep, it didn't stop me for buying the maps. I mean, why not make a great game even better if you can???

And Bungie, thanks for the hard work!

thanks, but that just opens the windows and the back door... Does it also set the room on fire at the same time???

ok so on the new red vs. blue video, they say at the end that you should buy the maps early so you can "pone the nubes on december 26th", is that maybe when they go on to matchmaking?

I'm sure they're referring to the people who get the game/360 for Christmas and are new to it.

Also, in terms of the room and fire.... erm, ever hear of the incendiary grenades? It was a joke, since Sarge loves to humiliate Grif.
