A lot there, but nothing tickled my fancy.

The Q&A session had someone ask about Halo 3: Recon and how it works with multiplayer, but the same convoluted answer always comes back from another poorly asked question. What some of us are TRYING to ask is this:

Since Halo 3: Recon has multiplayer maps onboard, do they install to the HDD for use with the Halo 3 disc, or do you access the same halo 3 experience within the Recon disc. Beyond that, since this disc has new maps beyond Mythic maps, will players have to own and play the Recon disc to play these maps or will they be downloadable for original Halo 3 disc use?

Will the Recon campaign content or the other multiplayer maps be available through Xbox LIVE Marketplace?

Beyond the Mythic Map Pack early next year, there are no plans to release other portions of the Recon package outside of the retail box.

Judging from that response I would assume that despite coming with H3R the maps will probably download to your harddrive as they always have. And likewise the multiplayer maps will be available for download on the Marketplace-- that of course is what your pertaining to.

Nothing on the missing Katana and Security armors though! We thought we were going to get an idea on this update on why ppl have been ripped of their armors after the 7 on the 7th achievement!

Try out my map variation out of Rat's Nest: Hangar 92!

Questions and ideas about Halo 3:Recon and Mythic Map Pack:

*Is Headlong going to be back, least at in some form?

*Will H3R have new looks (for example in the main menu)?

*Is it possible that H3R will have additional gamerscore points
(least at the 250G just like Halo 3 did) in future?

*Will the Mythic Map Pack feature new weapons to multiplayer
maps such as Fuel Rod Gun, Sentinel Beam or Firebomb grenades?

*What about new equipments like Deployable Cover or Auto-Turret?
They both would be handy and Auto-Turret resembles Trip Mines.
Auto-Turret-ish guns worked in Perfect Dark's MP, why not in H3?

*Will H3R fix some bugs of Halo 3? Such as the bug that when you
change the control settings (ex. from Green Thumb to Default)
while playing a game you have to do it approximately three times
until it works.

*H3R's Forge mode could have more stuff to add in all the maps.
For example, you could add the big boxes in Valhalla. The original
Halo 3's Valhalla wouldn't still have the additonal stuff
(boxes, etc) in Forge.

Tada!

Call of Duty 4 takes maps from campaign for many if not all of its multiplayer maps. Many players and nonfans of CoD4 say this is "cheating". While it can be called cheating, it also is a good idea. Have you ever considered using this method as well as creating maps from scratch? It would up how many maps you could luanch per map pack. And personally, I would really enjoy a Sierra 117 map for the area where you need to rescue Johnson, or where you see him get captured. I was just curious if you have ever considered it.

PS- I know Halo is not CoD to those who are planning on saying that and I'm not expecting challenges or killcams.

Forge is a map EDITOR. Not a map CREATOR.

Then the whole principle of foundry as a "sandbox" is made null.If it is a "EDITOR" then why is there a need for a blank map which you CREATE things on?...
