I run Skirmish!!!

REALLY? you are already coming out with maps and making people pay $10 for them...
the games only been out for 2 months, these maps were probably made before release date and tested after release, i think its too early to make a price tag for them

Forget these haters the maps are going to be awesome keep up the good work...

Pretty sure that all the people upset with the map pack "early release" will be the first to buy. You can't say you didn't see this coming. I would anticipate at least another 3 to 4 map packs before they stop supporting Reach.


If anything, early is better than later. Be happy, play Halo.

These maps should be free due to the fact that the maps now are fairly limited and grow old very quick.

Thank you, Captain K Mart.

People complaining about price, what? Three maps for ten bucks, how is that different from standard prcedure? Are people just getting more cranky and cheap? Or perhaps there is a rush of post-release ten year olds who can't have jobs?

if any of you guys were around for halo 3 dlc, which i doubt you were, you would realize people are complaining because they are releasing dlc content too soon...
i make $10 in 30 min at work and im still complaining about the dlc, because it is wrong to release it and charge ppl this early

I just spent $150 on this game not even two months ago and will already have to buy content.

yes,im so getting it

I wish they would expand the budget and max objects in Forge world. I also wish the map got much bigger, try to see how bi the map can get. I hope that Bungie will discuss my Ideas with them, because if they upgraded halo reach, we would be willing to pay up to 200 $ each for an unlimited construction set, like Oblivion's computer version has an advanced construction set. I would like to place enemies and allies on the map. Make Halo more customizeable. The more it is, the better it gets, but most video games don't understand that. I could have waited until January for a better Reach. The game is still very good though. Thank you Bungie.

  • 10.14.2010 7:46 PM PDT

Is This going to be the only map pack released?

  • 10.14.2010 7:52 PM PDT

Same here, but I would pay another 60$ for that, or just 10$ per 3 maps. And also a bigger and more unleashed or unlimited Forgeworld. It would be awesome. I wish a Bungie member would discuss with me about Halo Reach, and the whole halo background for more customization.

  • 10.14.2010 7:52 PM PDT

Im sure your just unhappy that you cant hack your rank in halo, thats sad. So instead of playing legitly and whining about how you cant afford 800 microsoft points, you will buy black ops so that you can get 10 prestige right away. Thats why I love halo, all of the whiners stop playing, so that those that actually do play the game enjoy all of its wonderful features.

Didn't you just say that you were done with Reach already?

Yeah, thought so. At any rate, there is a rather large period of time between when the environment and map artists are finished with the main game (this applies to all games) and the date of release. This time period can actually be several months. In that time, the content on the disk is usually finalized and nothing new can be added before the game is sent "off to the presses".

A lot of game developers are now using this time to continued building new content for the game. As for all of the "it should be free" comments?

No... it shouldn't. When you bought Reach, you got everything Bungie offered. Nothing more. Nothing Less. You knew what you were buying, and that deal is done.

These maps required EXTRA work and the people who make these maps deserve to be payed for their EXTRA work.

If people are going to be that -blam!-y about the price, they could always wait for the maps to become the deal of the week. They'll most likely drop to 400 points then.

Anywho, I think the maps look pretty awesome. With the exception of Breakpoint, they bring back feeling of Halo 1. Which is always good. While reading descriptions of Anchor 9, I kept thinking of the Pillar of Autumn. That was before I saw the pics, obviously.

It did make me think that a Pillar of Autumn map styled after the original design of the interior of the Autumn from Halo 1 would be an awesome idea.

for 10 bucks 3 maps is not enough and to make it a better buy they could throw in some dlc armor with the maps to make it more a pack.

  • 10.14.2010 7:53 PM PDT

wow $10 half hour?....Sad

  • 10.14.2010 7:55 PM PDT

im disappointed with this pack i was hoping for more bang for my buck and this is like a truck of dynmite destroying that

too much focus on big team. H:R had the worst slayer maps of any halo yet, and they make BTB and Invasion maps? Dumb.

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.


Its not bungies fault that you cant afford 10 bucks, if you cant, then dont buy it. Simple as that. And this goes to all the whiners, If you dont afford it(or dont want it for whatever reason) then dont buy it!I love that Bungie is shipping more maps early, that way we can expand our gameplay experience.

Not to mention, several of the maps included in the game were made in forge, which is incredibly cheap to me. Just saying, H:R is a great game, but falls very short in the map arena, imo.

I can understand this. I kind of anticipated the superabundant amount of map packs in this game's future and bought the base model figuring I would be spending another 40 to 50 bucks on map packs... But like I said, this was coming down the pipe anyway; may as well enjoy it along with the "not being upset because I'm waiting for the first map pack to drop since the game shipped with hardly any maps."

Why do some of you kids whine about 10 measly dollars for such high quality content? Do you all even know what it means for devs to go gold? These couldn't possible be added on time. And for the record for some of you out there, the multiplayer maps were made before the campaign integrated them in so stop whining like you got all rehashes.

I don't have a job yet, and my family is having financial problems. So $10 is about how much I make in a month or two.


I just dont understand how people with financial problems go and buy videogames. (instead of saving it and waiting for a miracle) But well, its not my decision nor my money but I cant believe why would you buy reach if the only money you earn is $10 a month. Plus a reason that you dont have a job could be that you are playing videogames? Havent you realized that?
