Avalanche's snow reminds me of a Christmas wonderland, those snowy trees, and soft "cotton" on the ground. I am going to be too bust looking at the map instead of playing it! It should be awesome for Machinima as well! Great friggin' update guys!

Its great and all for all of the people that are glad about the maps becoming free for people who havent bought them ,but what about us? I'm very dissapointed about recently purchasing the heroic maps, and then all of the sudden, out from behind me, i get stabbed by bungie, and now the rest of the world (granted it's not a terrible thing) can get them for free where I paid 9 freaking bucks! cmon bungie! I at least want a little compensation for:
A. Spending my hard earned cash, and then gettin' ripped off,
B. Helping you test drive these maps, and
C. Now having to spend yet another (probably) 9 dollars for the next map pack!
I have a simple proposition to make, however it may be either impossible or far-fetched.
I would have no complaints what so ever if all of the people who spent their money on the first map pack could recive the next set of maps for either a discount or prefrebley free. Please consider this proposition, and I would like to hear from you if at all possible. Thanks

Along with the swat playlist, its not like it's a huge deal if you, personally dont like it. its a fun game, and hats off to the guy that spent a long time making it. Just enjoy it, and wait for next week.

Quit whining over $10 you crybabies! Foundry alone was worth the $10 from the Heroic Maps. That $10 gave me over 30 hours of fun just building stuff on that map let alone playing it. What's $10? My dinner tonight cost me more than $10. I mowed my neighbors lawn for more than $10. $10 is not a big deal! If it is, you need to stop eating for maybe one or two meals and use the money you save on that. I know I would. Bungie's maps have proven their value.

It isn't the ten dollars that im upset about. It's the morals behind the issue. bungie can't expect us to know that there going to become free on certian date by posting it on the internet. It's just outright unreliable. Thats why I'm upset. Dont worry bud, im set on cash.

One of our Bnet artists, Stoshy, put together some comparison screens between Sidewinder and Avalanche that give a bit of visual insight into some of the map’s fundamental changes.
It says screens, as in plural....why do I only see ONE comparison screen?

Bungie said all along these were going to be free at some point. How did you not know that? Same with all the other Map Packs they had. Seems to be a pretty obvious pattern by now don't you think? Also, don't you think they deserve some money for continuing to make new content for Halo 3?

They post it on thier OWN WEBSITE! How can that possibly be unreliable?

  • 03.21.2008 8:27 PM PDT

im glad the maps will be free soon, especially on my Birthday, but i already have them and love them. i also look forward to seeing what Moonlight Sonata is all about on my birthday as well. Avalanche is gonna be awesome for some crazy BTB stuff.

Aww man, I paid for the Heroic DLC. If you're going to make them free, it would be nice to have a partial refund or the Legendary DLC free. At least make the content different so that it actually means something to buy it.

Sure, it's only 10 dollars andd there will be more people on the Heroic maps, but still....I can't shake this feeling that I've been had.

I know this is a little off topic, but could you guys please change the Bungie Favorites one of these days? I mean, it feels like they've been the same for two weeks amiright?

I Like the weapons placment.

the camo going into the cave for 2 snipers and a shotty

but i dont understand. why is the Laser on the covenant side

  • 03.21.2008 8:34 PM PDT

So.. the Legendary maps will only show up in matchmaking if all the people going into a game have the maps and it happens to be randomly selected and people don't veto it?

I'll wait to see if they show up in ranked BTB more than 0.5% of the time before a purchase :(

Pretty pictures tho.

That weapon set up is horrible. Everyone knows that the Hornet can destroy the Banshee and the Scorpion Tank can destroy the Wraith. Also it looks to me that even know it looks like there a wide range of weapons that are easy to get I don't think they are. I think the pictures that show were the weapons are , are really big. I think Bungie will rethink there Covenant <VS> UNSC style of weapon and vehicle placement because I know that I would be praying for the UNSC side of the new map Side Winder. I also think the Heroic Map Pack should not be free on March 25. I don't completely know why but it just makes me mad that the maps that I payed for are going to be given out like candy. Bungie.....you should at least hold out the freeness until the Legandary map pack comes out.

Why do you continually respond to everyone who makes a comment on this page?

I didn't see that Bungie said that they were going to be free at one point. I don't harp over everything Bungie says, though I did recently subscribe to their RSS feed to stay in the know more. I also didn't play Halo 2 on live, the only thing I saw about map packs were those discs that they sold containing the other maps.

Do they deserve money for continuing to make content for Halo 3? Well, by giving out maps for free they're certainly going to make less of it. While you come from one perspective, I challange you to view another. Isn't it Bungie's job to continue to make and then keep their own games interesting by releasing DLC?

I gotta agree with SixFt, it's pretty obvious they were gonna make them free, the maps in Halo 2 ALWAYS became free eventually, why would Halo 3 be any different? Even though they haven't said it yet, I can pretty much GUARANTEE you the Legendary Map Pack will become free at some point, just no one knows when yet.

  • 03.21.2008 8:39 PM PDT

Guys would you stop blaming Bungie for the way the new map packs are distributed. It is Microsoft that HAVE set the terms for the release of any new content for Halo NOT Bungie.
