Legendary Brawl....Brawl where have I heard that before....?

I tried to sign my signature here but the pen busted off in my screen.
:(

I really, really want the third map to be like a HUGE outdoor version of what Foundry was. How awesome would it be to have more space to forge just about anything we can think of? Foundry is great but so many custom maps there are too crowded. We need more room, and some larger set peices.

I saw me in "Favorite Things" @ 1:01!

It looks like on the bottom of the, "U" on Avalanche from the overhead view there is a drop off.

Does anyone else notice this?

Yeah I saw that.

But 12 player FFA Legendary Brawl Playlist? Oh em eff gee! That's a big lot of people! Wow.

Wait, I just realised, that's gonna be on Avalanche! FFA with tanks? WOOHOO! Bring it on!

When in Trouble use the Bubble! ✇

Superb!
I love the human vs. covenant vehichle concept, but ingame it might cause some complaints from people who think one set of vehicles is stronger than the other. which is going to suck.

I also like the use of flash to compare the maps rather than just have the two pics beside eachother.

can't wait for Legendary maps!!!!!!!!

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 really depends on how much you can play and how much you played on the maps. people could have gotten the ring of death and not be able to play on the maps as long as you. you may have found it worth $10 but others may not have. so to them it could have been a waste

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

cool update Heroic vid was funny and Avalanche looks cool

That means, the people like me that buy the map packs the day they are released will be severely limited to who we can play with, for good. Not just a couple of months. For good. These maps will never permeate ranked matchmaking, they will be fun custom maps and "I'm feeling social" maps for the DLC playlist (all of 10,000 people that actually buy it). And that's it.


I think Microsoft is betting that telling people this now means more people might buy it. Just a personal guess, but I could see that happening.

Everyone saying that they hate the pricing... go whine to MICROSOFT about it. Every time there's a price its always them who slaps it on, not bungie, so go talk to them and whine your asses off as you just get redirected 15,000 times. Also, as to the matchmaking thing, I don't see why they can't just require it for all of the playlists once they're free, the only reason not to is for people with memory cards. Correct me if i'm wrong but no one who has live hasn't realized they should get a hard drive to use, correct?

Can you give a few reasons why we won't be seeing Prowlers? No Firebombs? No deployable cover? No beam rifle? No sentinel beam? No custom power ups? Seems to me this is Battle Rifles and bubble shields, and the same old vehicle combat as Sandtrap. This map is new, but it's so typical that it'll be stale in two weeks.

6 months and Matchmaking is already stale. Doesn't anybody else want something -new-, instead of the same old thing on new maps?

Take that up with micrsoft, I highly doubt anyone will get there money back. I'm going to laugh at who ever buys the old maps the day before the new maps are out and have no money for the new ones. Im a little mad I bought the maps like a month ago - but Im over it.

I downloaded the Heroic Map Pack for 800 points. Will I get my 800 points back when the Heroic Map Pack free???

Kind of looks like the covenant side is going to dominate the human. Ghost<Goose and Chopper<Hog. Right now it's also looking like Shee<Hornet.

DUH. Because bungie doesn't want money they just like to make you pay for stuff.

  • 03.22.2008 10:43 AM PDT

Then I can have the Heroic Map Pack and buy the Legendary Map Pack, whoo!

I agree, I like the battle rifle and all, but cmon, it really does make every map stale. The new environment might make it different for a little while, but soon it becomes stale like any other map. Matches are more fun when you don't know what the other person has. If everyone starts with BR, its safe to assume they'll stick with it, whereas with an assault rifle, they may not (unless they're my roommate). You could say we could just make it different in forge or custom games, but with no custom playlist, its hard to share it with the masses, and instead you are forced to scrounge together a bunch of half-willing people from your players list. Great map pack I'm sure, I just really hope the BR start won't be a reality for this map, even though it is big. People should have to go get their weapons sometimes.

The Scorpion will destory the Wraith,the Warthog is better than the Chopper,and there are two Mongosses. The human side is too strong. Edit:Especially on flag,the human vehicles have passenger seats.

the new legendary maps look amazing and when we get them we get to see the heroic maps in ranked matchmaking, but if the legendary maps aren't going to be free ever then does that mean that we wont ever get to play them in ranked. also maps become free when the next map pack comes out, so does that mean no new maps are coming out?? what ever happened to purple rain??
