Subject: Noble Map Pack - 11/30/2010

Oh god I don't know how to post normally on this forum so I am going to have to quote someone.

This kinda sucks. We are paying for 3 maps and if we don't buy them we will probably have the playlists limited again, giving us half the game or less. Isn't there like only 4 playable playlists at the moment on Halo 3?

I once heard an old man say " Years ago, i sold my trumpet for something to eat, and know i know it would be better to die of hunger."

I upload a ton of Halo clips on my YouTube channel, feel free to subscribe.

Thank you!! I am sooo hyped for this!

That was great of you to completely disregard my actual argument, which I even explicitly said was my bigger point! Here, I'll bold it for you since you missed it the first time!
Actually, if you look real close, I left your argument ambiguous on purpose. We still have no idea how the release of this map pack will affect playlists. Bungie has said nothing on the matter, and there is no way to know if they haven't changed the way things work. Maybe the playlists will be split between those who have the map pack and those who don't.
I don't know, not pretending I do, but this particular debate is best left until later, once we know more than what maps will be featured.
On an unrelated note, I'm relatively new here. How on earth do you use the quote function so it displays who is being quoted?

I agree. They should add a remake of headlong and colossus from halo 2. I think that would make people want it more. Three maps just seems a little small.

  • 10.14.2010 5:27 PM PDT

Actully they probably started making these maps after the game came out so its not a rip off. Plus they're also adding achivements. Also its not like we're buying it for the games price (over $60.00). I'm just not happy that the forge map is another foruner map.

Bungie this kinda sucks as most of you map pack for the other games have been at least 4-5 maps plus the fact only one of these map is playable on invasion. it's just kind of annoying that at the moment there are only 2 proper invasuion maps and your only ading one more viable map for all of the people that have now adopted invasion as there favourite game type

Every Halo map pack has been 800 MS Points, and they've all came with three maps,so I don't see what the big deal is.

I'd like to know how you messed with my argument and why I need to adjust my viewing to see how you altered it, but ok!

Bungie makes me happy! Tempest with forge should be nice.

For the next map pack a night sky-boxed forge world enabled map please :D

If I do remember clearly, Halo 2 had a map pack that included 5 maps and two other map packs that included 4 maps I believe.

i think the map should be free sence its the last halo game ever they should make it less about microsoft points and more about having fun with your friends not waisting point and maps or just do what they did with halo 2 odst and i call it 2 becaust it takes place during halo 2 not 3

  • 10.14.2010 5:59 PM PDT

I think the only map pack connected to Halo with more than 3 was the one in Halo Wars, something not made by Bungie.

This seems to be a nice timing as well since there are a few games I was planning on getting and am buying this month on the Arcade due to the bonus points even though I didn't have anything I'd specifically wanted with that 800. Very nice timing with that one.

On other notes, I do wonder what else is being added with the pack, there could easily be additional armor options added alongside the rank cap. Probably with a few attached as Waypoint rewards for things from the pack (Possibly adding other ones that require the remaining two Legendary Completion feats).

Along with the maps, we also pretty much have a confirmed bonus group of forge maps due to the contest which will probably add to the available game maps.

As a side note for those complaining about the Forgeworld Maps, those are still separate maps. Honestly, most people wouldn't have known they were on the same map without being told.

i walk threw the shadows in the vally of death i fear no evil for i am the badest mother f@c&er in the vally

SO what will be the limitations on the map, bot say that they dont look epic, because i cant wait to get my hands on them but like how far out the space station will you be able to go if you want to like forge a small map out there make a little battle area on top of the ship. Are you going to add these peaces to the forge world or are they going to be seperate maps all together. i dont know if you are the operater for bungie but it seems like you would know what as a gamer can i expect to see in these new maps as far as forge and doing it up on xbox live

Tempest looks like that map from Halo 2.

  • 10.14.2010 6:06 PM PDT

Lookin' good, with the addition of more Forerunner architecture, especially, being appreciated.

  • 10.14.2010 6:10 PM PDT

America -blam!- Yeah...........Put Your Mouth On The Curb..........I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine----Funny thing about my back is its located on my -blam!-

I love how there are so many people so happy about this....

I for one think this is complete horse crap... seriously I just payed 60 bucks for the game exactly a month ago... now you expect me to pay 10 dollars more for 3 new maps... Honestly bungie this is a complete rip off you couldn't have just shipped these maps with the game... Of course you couldn't if you had of done that you wouldn't make the extra ten bucks. People don't be fooled when they say they have been working hard to get these done. As far as we know they could have had these maps done 3 months before release and just held them off so they could make the extra ten bucks. I really am disappointed in them now. You know bungie not all of us make the money you do.

  • 10.14.2010 6:21 PM PDT

Adding my 2, er, cents. Ideally, these maps would have been included originally, or if it was impossible to release them properly in time for launch...I dunno, differently. I know MS doesn't like/allow "free" updates, but $10 for 3 maps, splitting the multiplayer population only a month later? Really?!?

I already spent $60 on release day (my one full-price gaming splurge this year) there's no way I can afford/justify this. Some of your loyal customers* are real people with jobs and families. Sure, Valve is now monetizing the BLAM out of TF2, but at least I've recieved several new maps, gametypes, heck, *hats*, for free. I expected better of Bungie.

*Since Marathon 1/2 on the Mac!

Thanks. Lol apparently I'm blind.
Do you know what "ambiguous" means? It means unresolved. The argument could swing either way. Neither of us knows what will happen to the playlists, so how can we argue about it?

  • 10.14.2010 6:37 PM PDT

hopefully theres another forge world. . .already bored with forge world and please make the map smaller if it is a new forge world becouse man i had a tough time trying to make a map on forge world becouse it was to big but nice DLC you guys diserve a good pat on the back ;)

  • 10.14.2010 6:43 PM PDT

siccccccccccccc-blam!--blam!--blam!--blam!-

  • 10.14.2010 6:44 PM PDT

I'm not going to sound like a ass or anything. I do like the maps and will most likely buy them but.
I do think the price is a little unfair. I mean I paid 70 for the game. i think we should be entitled to a "free content update" why pay 800ms for content that should have been in the game, why pay for achievements that should have been in the game. if anything they should release all maps from all of the halo games. giving that this is there last halo game, why not head out with a bang and not boo?
