Microsoft trying to get more money out of me? I'm not buying into it, I'll wait.


Agreed 100%.

I'm not spending 70+ god damn dollars on three maps,I'll wait for the marketplace to have them instead.

I was planning on getting Halo Wars but I was going to wait till it became cheaper,like in a year. So I'm definitely not going to rush out and get it any sooner just because it has new maps,I can wait.

Awesome.
I'm really looking forward to Halo Wars, so this is great news for me!
I would take Halo Wars over the Mythic Maps any day.

Dude, I'm with you on that all the way. In my opinion, this is Bungie's worst idea ever. They know many people don't want to get Halo Wars, so they go, "hey you want to play the maps? then go spent $60-$70 on a game to play them." In my opinion, this might actually hurt Bungie economically. I say that because this entire country is going through another great depression. People are losing their jobs and don't want to spend big money on another video game to make their kids happy rather than $8 for a couple hundred points. I love Bungie and all, they are great people, but I think this is the worst move to make. And to others who flame me about my thoughts and opinions, you need to see the news and you will see that this is happening and this is not a smooth move.

Go to hell MSFT. I was considering purchasing Halo Wars if it is reviewed well by a dependable gaming site however, this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not even including the map codes with the regular edition? MSFT, You are -blam!- traitors to your install base. I will now be saving for Resident Evil 5 instead. This is worse than crackdown/H3beta.

RIP Logan ~B.B.

You are kidding right? The maps are there and done, but they are waiting on them to try to sell more copies of a console RTS? I reaize MS is calling the shots here, but really, this is a cheap move. I hope Bungie was not spineless enough to go along with this without a decent fight.

I'd be very happy to buy maps as soon as possible, but a $70 price point is just too steep. The ethic (or lack of) of it alone have certainly sealed the fate of Halo Wars as the only Ensemble game I won't buy.

Agreed. I pray to God that what Luke said about getting them on the marketplace comes true.

It's not that I don't want to buy Halo Wars just because of the crap Microsoft is pulling, I truly don't like the looks of Halo Wars.

Reach is hot garbage.

I rather not support Microsoft's milking of the Halo franchise. I'll get those maps when they hit the XBLM. Microsoft can kiss my a... You get the idea.

Life is full of choices. Sometimes you make the good ones, and sometimes you have to kill all the witnesses.

But then you have to pay the liability insurance.

I'm coining the phrase "Bungie fail" now. It may now be applied to any and all game developing/marketing fail from here on out.

First of all, I wouldn't scream at bungie for this decision. Halo Wars and Halo 3 are both published by Microsoft Game Studios. Big decisions like pricing, release dates and promos are made mostly on the M$osft side. Also, Halo 3 is Microsoft's only guaranteed cash machine. They are using that fan loyalty to try and boost sales of Halo Wars. I don't know for sure but it looks like Halo Wars purchasers will be able to get the maps sometime before the rest of us. If you were going to get Halo Wars already, you're in for a great bonus. If you weren't I would recommend controlling you gamer boner until the maps are released. They will keep doing stuff like this as long as people are willing to give them money every time they dangle a cookie in front of them.

My question is... aren't there 6 maps in the Mythic map pack? The story only mentioned 3.

Cool, so we only get three maps instead of the aforementioned six, and we have to buy a mediocre RTS if we want them in February?

Remember, these maps will ALSO be in Halo 3: Recon, so if you buy Halo Wars CE and Recon you get to pay for them twice!

Who wants odds on the maps not being released on marketplace until summer to push sales for both Halo Wars and Recon?

Than I shall wait for summer then,or all the way until H3 Recon comes out.

There is no way I'm going to spend hard earned money on a game I am only marginally interested in at best just for new maps,I've got way more important things to spend my money on then that.

It's not that Halo Wars is gonna suck or anything like that,I just don't think that people that aren't fans of the RTS genre of video games should have to buy it.

What about us die hard Halo fans,why alienate us?

We built the house that is MS game studios,we deserve a little more than that.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

I'm fine paying for new maps. I've gotten used to it.

But no way in hell am I buying Halo Wars for a few new maps.

I will wait, especially because I wasn't going to buy Halo wars anyway.

Little by little, I'm growing so tired of M$. It's not Bungie's fault.
But nope. Nada. Napes. Negative. No.
Not falling for this one.

Nice try though, M$.

Conversely, it must be noce to be able to say that all the uncool stuf is Microsoft's doing.
"When er're in control, we'll change stuff." I look forward to it President elect. Um.. am I mixing my rants here...
Anyway I understand that if they don't make cash they can't make games. If they need north of $200 bucks form each of us per game, then that could be complicated. Wait, did I say complicated? I meant BLAM! no.

I'm torn, because i wasn't like 100% into getting Halo Wars..but the LCE has some awesome stuff bundled with it. Though I'm probably gunna get more out of the Mythic Maps...hmmmm
I dunno whether to "give in" as it were to M$..
*eagerly awaits conformation date for Marketplace release of the Mythic Maps*

  • 11.08.2008 2:59 AM PDT

OH -blam!- you!!!!!!!

Goddamn I cannot wait past 2/3/09, this is bull!!!!!!!

Goddamn Micro$hit! You -blam!- BASTARDS!!!!!!! :(

The Mythic Map Pack better be on marketplace within a week of the Halo Wars release!!!!!!!

Are all the maps going to be together on marketplace, or is it divided, part of MSFT's plot to mine more money from America's already dry pockets in a -blam!- ing recession!!!!!!!

Oh, and did Bungie have the balls to stand up to MSFT or were they -blam!-?

If you pre order Halo Wars do you get the limited edition? Please respond.

  • 11.08.2008 11:33 AM PDT

thats what Halo Wars LCE is silly

But anyway im getting Halo wars......just not the LCE because im a patient person so i can wait for the maps and i might just get them when i get H3: Recon

but good on Microsoft for trying to get people to buy Halo Wars. Including the Mythic Map pack obviously hasnt helped much seeing most people that replied to this just say they can wait.

Guess The Halo fans are patient people

Why did they put up the achievements for the Mythic map pack so early? They basically got us all pumped and now we still have to wait like 3-4 months for the maps. I think the acheivements should have came when you downloaded the maps. Yeah and what happened to the other 3 maps?

Howd'cha get to be so SWEET! : P

A game that expands on the HALO universe AND a month head start on the mythic achievements. Its a win win. Most complain but how many of these people bought CRACKDOWN for the H3 beta? I did. I ended up keeping the game cause i liked it but it wasent my intentions. I'm not big on RTS games but Halo Wars looks quite promising. Thanks for the heads up.

i cant wait for then to come out

  • 12.15.2008 1:53 AM PDT

<(^(oo)^)>

actually 3 maps (Assembly, Orbital, Sandbox) will come with halo wars and Halo 3: ODST will come with the other 3 maps (Longshore, Heretic, Citadel)

  • 01.05.2009 11:59 AM PDT

I think it is March 3, 2009 for North America.

I am so pissed off right now!! Why cant M$ just make things simple. Why cant they just put the maps on the Halo 3 marketplace.

There are so money hungry its pathetic.
I am all about FPS games and i hate games like Halo Wars and now i have to buy it to get the new maps.


Hellz no i will wait M$ just made a really bad move.
And what pisses me off even more is we can be playing those maps right now but we have to wait for Halo Wars that isent even really a Halo game.

God i hate M$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
