My H3 File Share for all your guilty pleasures...
My favorite professional Halo team ever: Final Boss

Bumper Jumper, 3 sensitivity, no vibration (H:CE & H2 are Boxer)
Halo 2 being my favorite Halo game to date
Halo fan since 2003

OMG people, can everybody stop WHINIG for -blam!- sake! No wonder why people say halo has the WORST community ever. Jesus -blam!- christ dudes.... this is just too much.

Now let me say this. The last map reveal wil be less than a hour. Trust me on this. If Im wrong, dont blame me. Anyway, it will be revealed today so stop whinig for pete's sake.

Also the heroic map pack is going to be free issue. People are so stupid on this site I mean OMFG! Im so angry with the continuous spamming with the comments like 'I spend 800 points on them and now they are free? WooT?? Bungie RIP OFF, I HATE U MS, Go shoot yourself! I want my money back!' quotes. For the freaking 100th time, Bungie already said that it will be free in the beginning and everybody were already speculating it would be free over 3 months so just -blam!- off and dont come here whinig about 10 dollars (thats even more in Euro's). Anyway its not Bungie fault. Bungie makes, MS gives free or with a price tag. U cant do nothing so STFU right now! And another thing, It will be free less than a hour. I read it somewhere that the time for the next update and the map pack free was 11 am American time so thats in my case 5 pm in Europe, Netherlands. Or maybe not, at least its today FFS!

Now on-topic since I already typed this comment for the little whiny kids...

The vehicle set-up is good ONLY if the covenant side gets extra weapons like 2 energy swords and a feul rod gun or a extra vehicle. Especially for CTF games, the Humans are going to own the covenant side. Also I think this map is smaller than Sandtrap so dont get any orgasm dreams. Dont get me wrong, I love this map (read my view what im thinking of this map on the real Avalanche forum), but people have to many expectations of this. If it is bigger, than this could be the most beautifull and biggest map ever made. If its not, well... we finally got Sidewinder.

And my geusses of the final map that has yet to be revealed after reading some forums is Lockout. Really guys, so many directions are pointing towards Lockout. I hope I still can use my jump tactics like I could do on the H2 version of Lockout. That rocked so hard!

Keep up the good work Bungie and the community low lol *sighs*

I can't wait for them to get free. I bought them the day they came out. The only reason I want them to become free is because my friend keeps bugging the #$%@ out of me every hour asking "when are they becomming free?" But I agree with what most other people have stated the ledgenary map pack should not become free and they should incorperate the maps more into matchimacking because since I've had the maps. I've only played Foundary twice in regular matchmacking. I feel bad for everyone who has not bought them yet, when they do finally become free there will be such a surge of people downloading them the servers will crash. Aka jusk like when Halo 3 launched LOL

Yeah man after reading numerous posts i think its safe to assume the new map is going to be Lockout. I have so many good memories from Lockout. But these little kids need to stop complaning, you should have bought the blam maps.

Well, BAy4R, I see where you are coming from about whining, but that's not the point... if there is anything my dad taught me, it was "if you say you're going to do something, do it". That's the point.

It pisses me off more that anything about how neither company will release an update on the delay. I'm at work for another 5 hrs. and don't have much to do, so I've been watching this blog to see if they've been released yet. I can't download them anyway until I get home. But what ticks me off the most is that I'm getting my Bachelors Degree in Business Management & Marketing this fall and this is exactly what you don't want to do to your customers. YOU DON'T LIE TO YOU CUSTOMERS. THEY NEVER FORGET! I hold a high position in Steel company and if I ever treated my customers like this, I would have been dragged into the owners office by the head of my d*** for sure.

yea. dont quote me on this or anything, but i have a sneaky suspicion that they will make it a permanent game variant. at least those are my hopes. i mean everyone loves the game anyways. why not make it constantly available?
