You might as well call Recon armor a Fancy Fedora, because that's all it is really.

Wow, Bungie.

I feel so sorry for you, the level of intelligence on this forum is sad. Did any of you asking questions actually read the update? I mean come one, I saw at least 10 questions which were already explicitly in the update. I'm surprised Bungie even employs people to troll the forums. I wanted to poke my eyes out just reading the same question asked over and over again. I'm disappointed in the public school system.

I loved the unfit news section, the weapon lowering one was the best.

Please don't add any type of Team Control games to any ranked objective playlist. Other than that, nice update.

You know what, Bungie?

Screw you.

I can just hear you guys in your marketing meetings:

"Here's a way to sell maps since the last map pack didn't sell very well... Let's make SWAT require the Legendary map pack because SWAT was SOOOOO popular!"

You make me wish that I didn't like Halo because it's such a money pit.

First I got freaking ripped off buying the "Legendary Edition" of H3 which was NOT Legendary at all and is easily available at any gameshop now for under $80 NEW in the box.
And now you want to pork another $10 buck out of me to play SWAT.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll be playing Avalanche a hell of a lot on SWAT.

Whatever, Bungie.
It's bull crap and you know it.
There is NO reason to REQUIRE the new maps for a playlist and you know it.


Maybe you should've found out what was in the Legendary Edition instead of just buying it. That was stupid of you, and you probably would have the 10$ to buy the new maps now. Oh well, dumb you.

And the people that don't buy the Legendary Maps don't deserve the new playlists. 10$ is nothing.

Pure BS.

I don't have a problem with them charging for these maps but for a playlist, that's ridiculous. Only a braindead Bungie fanboy would defend that.

One thing's for sure, this ain't gonna help them keep from getting their ass kicked by CoD4.

If these maps are never free, I guess we'll hardly ever see Avalanche in Big Team Battle, which is a shame.

These maps will be free, they just don't know when yet. Stop crying.

Very informative update. I really like how user will be required to purchase the new maps to play one of the best playlists ever made (Team SWAT). Thank you for showing us what is up for the month to come. Cant wait for the new maps. The only question I have is... What time are the maps going to be available on Tuesday?

The only thing i want is for bungie to make one more map pack. A huge OUTSIDE map that is just like foundry, but has more stuff to make maps with. Also another thing they could add is maybe an update to foundry to help it stay alive. This is what i want and would pay 1950 microsoft points just for that update and map. It is probaly going to be ignored considering bungie though. I just wish that bungie would look what we want!
my friend made a remake of what he wants the map to somewhat look like.
Map out look

Bungie also has to cater to those who bought the maps. It sucked when I could never play the heroic maps when i bought them as nobody else had them. A LOT MORE PEOPLE will be buying this map pack due to obvious reasons and it would suck for us if we cant plsy it becos some people dont buy them. Personally, My opinion is a mixed bag on this issue. While I'm happy Bungie is doing this to make it fair for those who buy the maps, I think its unfair as some people just dont want to spend that extra amount of money cos they are cheap. But its most unfair to those who want to play SWAT. Due to this, populations will be low and it will be hard to find a game.

What you guys should do? Don't make it a requirement to buy the maps. Murder Bill Gates if you have to. You care bout your fans, not some Money-Hungry Slut.

gtfo out of the forums. your just another stupid 10 year old thinking he owns the forums and Bungie news letters. Trust me. $10 is worth it. SWAT on Legendary Maps, and an extra 4 months added to my Bungie Pro experation date!

Agreed Kaiser, he even says (in another thread) "I would pay $20 for the maps". Seriously, if you will pay THAT MUCH for the maps, getting four months of Bungie PRO, AND getting SWAT early is worth it.

if he spelled it better it would probably be considered and not thought of as a joke no offense to the poster, but I too think it be nice if bungie allowed lowering of weapons for home made movies, also wish there was a way to save audio through your headset so you can explain in words what happened, or use it for voice acting, only way that wouldn't happen is becuase of to much cursing and so on, there could be a user agreement for it, if you'r caught putting somthing on bungie.net offensive like a photo you get blocked.

Just a quick question, if we didn't feel that we needed the Bungie Pro, or that it'd go to waste, could we exchange for something else, such as swag, or possibly Recon?
