So, i decide to get on Halo 3, i've been playing non-stop for like 2 days finishing the campaign on Legendary, to only find out, once i was finished, that i would need to go buy all the Halo 3 DLC to play my favorite playlist, Squad Battle.
Please tell me that i don't need to get the DLC, I have no way of getting Microsoft Points at the moment. ):

This is just a way for Bungie to get the last few cents out of the game before Reach comes out, Well... Goodbye Halo 3, Hello MW2. (:

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo:CE > Reach > ODST > Wars

Do you not have the Halo 3:ODST disk? That has every single map on it. Originals and DLC. Naturally the standard Halo 3 disc only has the base maps like Guardian and Valhalla, but the ODST Halo 3 Multiplayer disk has every single map on it. If you are that bothered about playing Squad Battle, then try and buy ODST cheap, my friend. It will probably save you money than buying all the DLC maps off marketplace. :)

BOOM HEADSHOT!

@Vustom
He means the second disk that came with Halo 3:ODST. It has all the Halo 3 multiplayer maps. However it doesn't have the campaign.

So... Halo 3: ODST comes with 2 discs, 1 containing the campaign and 1 for matchmaking/online play?

  • 08.15.2010 6:46 PM PDT

Yes sir ^^

Did the matchmaking/online disc come with Halo 3: ODST at launch?

  • 08.15.2010 7:22 PM PDT

not sure but probably.

  • 08.15.2010 7:23 PM PDT

BOOM HEADSHOT!

Yes it was supposed to. On the back of the game case it should say "Disc 1" at the top and describe ODST. And it should say "Disk 2, The complete HALO 3 multiplayer experience." at the bottom. Or atleast that's what mine has.

Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

it also requires a vpn

Whats a VPN?

  • 08.16.2010 3:11 AM PDT

VPN = Virtual Private Network -- here's a Wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPN

BTW, I was part of the many folks who got surprised by this change. I think they [Bungie] did it around the first weekend this month as I was able to previously play Squad Battles (I heart CTF)...

So my question now is, if I buy a friend's ODST disk soon (or at least before Reach comes out), would I be able to install the map packs from there? I guess borrowing is the easier option -- if I only need the original Halo 3 disk when I have to get online... can some Good Samaritan confirm?

Any help with the above question? Would really appreciate it.

"Providing targets for clear headshots since 2009"

I don't THINK you can install the Mythic disc. But even still, MS dropped the cost of the Halo 3 map packs anyway. Shouldn't be a problem.

Alright, thanks folks.
