We faithful Halo fans have followed Bungie since the original evolution of combat. Buying every update, theme, and map pack that emerged on the scene, we've exhausted our resources...$13 for a map pack is one thing, but $50 for ODST? It's simply inhumane.

Those of us who purchased Mythic were satisfied, but would be very pleased to have the other three maps to accompany our current collection. So please Bungie, help a map (and money) deprived guy out...add Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel to the Mythic maps.

Seriously, I need my fix, and the first three aren't cutting it anymore.

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

1st : wrong forum. I think. (not sure what you want).
2nd : be a smart ass guy like me and my friends, don't support paid DLC and NEVER buy themes or maps. eventually, they become free or you get a good deal like with ODST.
I am happy with ODST, got all paid DLC, firefight, 3 exclusive maps and even a new campaign.

Who cares about BR vs AR

Zorgy knows all, listen to him.

1st: I know. My profile is eternally fixed on Reach and I can't get it off.

2nd: My friend bought ODST almost immediately after it came out. I played it with him for all of an hour, and I have to say, I thought it sucked...and he agreed with me. I did, however, think the new multiplayer maps were amazing (with the exception of Orbital).

With that said, I'd rather pay around $20 for new maps instead of $60 for a crappy ODST campaign and 6 new maps.

they shouldent make them free but at least make them downloadable and buyable oh and i actuly like the campain so it was worth the money to me

  • 11.01.2009 6:40 PM PDT

Bungie should totally do that. Everyone knows that Bungie sets all the prices and has complete control of the Halo IP, right?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Making them downloadable seems reasonable to me.

I don't think that will happen.

and how!

They like their home on the Mythic disc. They aren't downgrading from their luxury suite to some lame digital storage apartment.

I would be a fan of them being free to Mythic owners, but now that ODST is already out I think that your best chance would be to either save up for ODST (it is really good in addition to the mythic disc, maybe not worth $60 but still worth a good amount) or to wait for them to release them for download. They said that they didn't have plans to release them for download but they might in the future

  • 11.01.2009 7:12 PM PDT

yeah or at least stop making some of the playlists that we would like to play require the mythic disk just make it optional or something so it can be even

  • 11.01.2009 7:14 PM PDT

Yep, that's the biggest thing right there. I hate how a bunch of the playlists (namely, Double EXP Weekends) show up as "Mythic disc only."

And I agree with the people who are saying, "at least make them downloadable" because I'd be down with that too.

I just dislike that everytime something new comes out, they screw people over who don't download it. Before I got Mythic, Lone Wolves and Social Slayer were the only two really good playlists.

I think Pesty is a pretty gooooooooood writer, he munches spoons and doesn't afraid of anything!

Selfish douche bag, enjoy the fact that you got those maps. Mythic 2 is ODST-only as a reward for those who bought ODST, and they're not going to be seperately selling it for a while to begin with, if at all.

It'll be a huge kick in the pants if M$ wants Mythic 2 to go on the Marketplace.

It's better than screwing over the people that did buy it by making it "not required" in every playlist so the only possible way to play on the new maps is to get extremely lucky and have everyone you're matched with have the new maps.

That was really annoying back when Legendary came out and the only playlist with Avalanche didn't require it.

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

They'd like to give us all free maps, but Micro$oft likes money. Lots of money.

Hahahha. Best thing I've heard all day.

  • 11.02.2009 2:16 PM PDT

Yes. I've been wanting the achievements for finding those skulls but don't want to pay $60 for ODST just for the three maps. They could even just put a mythic disk with the maps on it and sell it for $20 and that would be fine. I've seen ODST and truthfully don't think it's worth buying. If the achievements are for those maps on Halo 3, then don't put them on ODST.
