lighten up and cut Bungie some slack, we just got the maps for free and you still complain and bring up the late beta? I was frustrated about the beta, but they extended it to make up for it. Some companies wouldn't even do that. I am currently downloading the 480 MB Heroic map pack and can't wait to play, I am going to search for some custom foundry maps in the mean time, and hopefully get a taste of what this Grifball mania has been all about...

Hmmm that's wierd.

Bungie, question for the next podcast: WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU DO ON XBLM NOT LAUNCH ON TIME????

A) Beta (I took time off work man!)
B) Heroic DLC Initial Release
C) This Crap now

You guys are the leaders in the gaming community. Set a better example. It's sad that the community (myself included) loves the game so much that they look past this bull--blam!-.

At least now I know to plan on picking up the Legendary DLC the Day AFTER you say it's coming out.

Im not really that pissed, I just really wanted some Standoff Rocket-Race this morning before work ... low and behold ... bungie has again failed to launch something on time.

I'm sure there's some super-secret complicated reason beyond my comprehension that explains why this is so freakin hard to get right, so ...

/rant

w00t for Blackout ... Everyone watned it, now we have it. Go Bungie!!

Let's see some more new maps ... or sanctuary.

Another Podcast ?: Will the Legendary DLC ever be free? I haven't enjoyed the Heroic DLC playlists, there are a large number of quitters and idiots.


Did you read my post? I'm just saying the beta was just an example, just like the rest of my examples.

it takes a while to download, but it shud work. when my friend downloaded it, it took like 40 minutes or so, but he got the maps

  • 03.25.2008 8:09 PM PDT

I think that the Heroic map pack should be an auto update so every one will have it and we wont have to have that DLC crap for a while.

Bungie can't help it...The new maps just use a few hundred mb's and there's nothing Bungie can do about it, unleast you want new maps in lets say 16 by 16 pixels. Maybe they can manage to bring it under 254mb that way. The point is..you just have to buy a HD, Halo is not the only game that releases content from time to time that requires some HD space, so don't blame it all on them, you could've know that when you bought a memore card instead of an HD

Hey Bungie I got a question. I've bought the maps already 4 months ago and I've enjoyed them ever since. In your latest weekly update you told us that after the Heroic Map pack would be free people were forced to download these BEFORE they could play in hoppers such as BTB (ranked and social), Team Slayer and Rocket Race. This made me assume that maps, such as Rat's nest from now on will also be available on the casual Ranked/Social Big Team Battle playlist. Normally there were only 3 maps available at this point, namely Sandtrap, Valhalla and Last Resort. Assuming you guys use an equality system on BTB as well I believe that there's a chance of about 25% now that we get Rat's Nest on BTB, or 20% if Standoff is supposed to be available on BTB as well. I've played about 30 games of BTB yesterday, and I've never (NOT A SINGLE TIME) gotten one of the Heroic Map packs, we didn't get it as our first option and we even didn't get it if we vetoed our first option. Our of those 30 BTB games I've seen about 50 maps passing buy (20 got vetod so in total that makes 50) and no single Heroic Map pack map was spotted, not by anyone, not even by a few of my friends who played the same amount of BTB games yesterday, without me, so adding another 50 maps or so that wasn't rat's nest or standoff.

I'm just wondering if that was supposed to happen or that something goes wrong. The only reason for me to look forward to the maps being free even though I bought them already, is that I'm so much willing to play BTB on Rat's nest or RR on Standoff.

I'm pretty sure many more people have had the same question popping up yesterday and I'm wondering if ANYONE has seen any of the Heroic Map packs map in the casual hoppers yet?

I hope they will be available in the normal hoppers pretty soon cause if we still HAVE TO play the 3 "new" maps in DLC then I regret buying the min the first place. For 4 months it was ok to play them in there but after they were made free yesterday I, and many others, Can't wait to see them in the normal hoppers.

So Bungie are the new maps still going to be incorparated into the normal hoppers? or is the chance that you get a new map set to a default 1%?

I just bought the maps 9 days ago, that's disgusting! Moreover I was broken... and I couldn't play them on my Lone Wolves favorite playlist (the only one I play on!)... Totally disgusted... Moreover M$ charged me 120 euros for my 12 month gold membership and they don't answer to my requests... I'm gonna kill myself......................

I think you're missing the point here. Making the maps free is a double-edged sword. Sure now everyone has the chance to play them and hopefully they will be added into the standard playlists quickly, but on the other hand, people who actually spent the money to buy the maps (like myself) have just been, in a way, 'screwed' out of 800MS points. Ok so what, thats like £6-7, a fraction of what i earn in a month, but it seems like Bungie are rewarding the ones who are less loyal to them by giving them free DLC while people who ARE loyal and/or couldn't wait for the Heroic map pack have now lost out on points/money.

P.S: I love you Bungie for making this game, its great! I'll stop ranting now before i feel your Wrath =P

P.P.S: We're not ****N' Retards/idiots, In fact, I find that rather offensive.

Honestly if you spent the ten dollars for the maps when you 'knew' they would eventually be free then it's not bungies fault.

You guys are laughing at us?
You couldn't get $10 in 4 months... and you're laughing at us?
Seriously.. I understand some people think they weren't worth it, but I think after FOUR MONTHS you could spare at least that much. Hell if you had jobs you could've made that in an hour.
Rat's Nest is great for symmetrical BTB, Standoff is always fun for all gametypes, and foundry is every custom games player's dream. Maybe Rat's Nest wasn't amazing, or Standoff didn't do it for ya, or you don't have enough friends to play Foundry, but you're laughing at us?
Sorry.. not buying it. I'm not gonna laugh at you, but I do feel bad for you.
You must be pretty poor =/.

So in the end we are all little nooblets.
And it's not bungies fault at all.
So leave them alone they made the game.
P.S. I totally agree with your post.

Check out my file share for a ton of awesome videos that will keep you entertained for hours!

So are we (the people that supported bungie and bought the maps) going to get reimbursed for these gamerpoints that we "wasted".

I say wasted because your now releasing them for free. Not because i dont like the maps. Standoff and foundry are my 2 favorite maps.
