Subject: ODST Multiplayer Maps Available Separately?

When I quit tonight, I'm gonna go jump in bed w/my wife. Moral: Kiddos, get a life, and then go play Halo.....

My sincerest apologies if it's been asked 100,00x already, but I couldn't find any threads/answers...

Any word from Micro$oft yet concerning whether the multiplayer maps will soon (or EVER) be available separate from the $60 ODST?

Thanks all.

Expect yes, you do need the maps to earn achievements for Halo 3. They cannot force people to pay $60 to earn achievements, expect them sometime after ODST's release, just not the same day.

I agree that they can't force people to pay $60, but this is a video game that people choose to play. I'd personally love to play the maps and get some achievements, but it's not like M$ or Bungie is forcing me to fork over my hard-earned $$$. With their track record though, I'm just not sure....

I kind of hope not..Why? Dunno.

I take back what I said, I was mistaken. I forgot that it's the base gamerscore points that should not need extra purchases to stay out of violation. Since the achievements are for DLC, they really do not have to make them available to the marketplace. This violation once occured with Fable 2 where you had to buy the Pub Games arcade title to get two expressions to get an achievement, they were added to free DLC so the Pub Games would not have to be free.

I still expect them to hit the marketplace, the fans deserve that and they know it.

He honestly doesn't deserve a chance after saying something that selfish and ignorant. He's basically saying he hopes when his parent spend their money to get him ODST that others who don't get the game don't have the chance to experience the maps that come with it if they don't have the game as well. It's really an immature and a sad way of thinking.

Doesn't look like its going to be on the marketplace.

The only way to get the other mythic maps is to buy ODST (they're not downloaded, they're on the 2nd disc of ODST).

Go Rams and Missouri!

Mythic Map Pack Part 2 is only available with ODST. It's never going to be available on the marketplace.

The only way to get them is ODST. He doesn't say get them early, he says that's the only way. Also, here are some third party sources confirming the same thing:

Kotaku (in the green part)
Giant Bomb (scroll down until they talk about multiplayer

Also, several of the recent map previews also say they are exclusive to ODST.

Hah. You're probably right man. As for me, my wife & I can just not eat for a few days.

After watching the Youtube video, he does say that it is possible that they will hit the marketplace. He confirms it may be just like with Halo Wars.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the info/investigation. I guess we'll just see.

Nah, I saw in a few interviews that the maps are only available exclusively with Halo 3: ODST.

It's kind of like how the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2 have a few more maps than the Xbox versions. :P
