Sorry to ask, but my xbox broke and I was wondering when the to-be-determined cutoff date of the Bungie PRO. Is it a 24 hour thing, month, week. Please spill the beans bungie!!!

Does "4 month subscription to any one who plays a custom or matchmade game in 24 hours..." mean any thing??

I think he was asking how long the deal for the Bungie PRO would be, not how long the subscription is. Like when the last day is that you can buy the maps AND get the Bungie PRO subscription for free.

Rebellion in small things to let the world know I haven't surrendered.

Love the maps, very cool. Also already have my Bungie pro, though I haven't filled it yet (I will, don't worry-I have almost 100 custom content items).

Anyway, I love how if you download these Halo 3 maps onto your Xbox and play them during the Legendary Weekend, you get entered into a contest that has a prize that includes.... Halo 3.

It also includes a Halo 3 console, which I already have too. But I realize not everyone does. Hm, would I sell it, or have a spare?

Those who die, will live,
those who live, will die

Awesome maps bungie,

Ghost town - an amazing map with very original features and loads of different turns and levels, I can imagine this being a huge hit in infection and other 4vs4 - 6vs6 games.

Avalanche - Prayers have been answered, the map that shows the true halo gaming to it's fullest content - maximised vehicle and weaponry combat - all balanced out; along with huge man cannons making it runnable - though this really puts a good emphasis on the importance of 16 player teamwork with vehicles and such.

Blackout - What more do I need to say? Lockout with a few tweaks such as walls extended a teeny bit - awesome map as in halo 2, great little ramps and fun parts to sneak around in - another very good future team slayer/infection game.

Extremely impressed with this map pack, though I must say I haven't been on matchmaking with it much - can you add 16 players to the DLC for Avalanche? playing it with 8 just makes you spoilt - you have 2 warthogs to each person, a wraith to each person etc. :)

But well done and thankyou to you Bungie and map developers for these - absolutely worth the 800 points and no regret in buying them.

So many other things I could say here, I think some of the forge features may have been a bit over-exaggurated, such as very cloudy effects so that it's almost impossible to see - Nova I think it's called, I don't think I'll see maps being played like that often; however some of the effects are great, Ghost Town on colourblind and Alpha Zombies on Gloomy Blackout - really adds fantastic effects to these maps.

Thanks guys, I was one of the first to Download the Map Pack... Sadly I had to leave before the update could take place... Got home an Hour ago, and started up the 360... First map I got was Blackout... and I have to say, AMAZING JOB!!!!! I love it!

Lockout was (IMO) the best map of Halo 2, it is now my Favorite Map in Halo 3... I got mvp at 13 kills (Hadn't played Halo 3 in a while) and my Team won 50-29...

I spent over 300 (Probably more) hours on Lockout alone (And I didn't even have a Xbox then) I am amazed how fast my old routine came back, with in the first 15 seconds, I was at where I needed to be.. and it lasted the whole game... just amazing... perfect map Bungie.

Well, the reason it's Fusion Coils now, is probably because it's now a "human" setting, unlike in Halo 2 where it was a Forerunner... And Forerunners have teh Power Cores, whilist the humans have Fusion Coils. Happy? =D

  • 04.15.2008 6:30 PM PDT

after we get the free upgrade to bungie pro, is this going to be something that we need to manually deactivate in four months?

No. We don't auto-bill you for a renewal. When your subscription expires, the next time you go to your file share in the game, you will be prompted to either clean up your excess files to be under the regular limit or resubscribe, before you can upload any new content.

So I can still have 24 maps in my file share, as long as I keep them all there?

Awesome! I've only checked out two maps but already I think I have noticed some things.

When you zoom in with your visor, it creates a different sound then what it use to.
The Mongoose has been tweaked slightly, It feels like it's trying to stay on all fours more now.
The firing noise for the Scorpion is changed?
It also feels like the Ghost is now closer to the screen.
The power ups are now smaller in size.
The invisibility graphic is tweaked?

Maybe i'm crazy but I sure all these things fell different. Anyone else notice these things?
