1. just because they didnt it with halo 3 doest meen its not milking dumbass.

2. you know what 10$ can buy? alot of -blam!- more important than this piece of -blam!-. Example=Groceries


Don't act like you're so important, if you think groceries are more worth your money, then go buy groceries. You don't HAVE to buy these maps.

You people are all ridiculous, ten bucks is really cheap for maps that's about $3.33 per map, for an INFINITE, let me repeat that, INFINITE amount of playing time on forge, a HUGE setlist of multiplayer game settings, and much more. Then you have these guys putting their time into making these maps, and expect them to give it to you for free? I call bull-blam!-.

I'm looking forward to these maps, they're incredibly cheap, and will serve me well. Thanks Bungie, you know just how to please the fans! :)

Tru7h, Tru7h, and nothing but the Tru7h.

All you people who are college students (like me with my own apartment and job might I add) and family guys seriously saying 10 -blam!- dollars is going to -blam!- up your finances seriously need to sell your xbox. Why are you apparent poor people playing? Obviously these luxury's are not what you should be having (xbox, reach) seeing as your bills are oh so hard to pay after buying said map pack. Grow the hell up would be self entitled idiots. Either buy them or don't I don't care but know that Micro$oft does the pricing so direct your poor mans anger in the right place.

I don't even know why you babies are whining because you are just going to buy it anyway.

I think its a bit high priced considering the short time it took to release it, if you couldn't get it in the game cut us some slack and charge 400MS points. They do look a hundred times better than the forgeworld maps in the game now though.

To all the idiots flaming people for comments like mine consider that for some of us its the princible of it.

Wow,

Lame charging for maps that should have shipped with the game, instead we got 3 crappy forge maps


Agreed, there was like ten maps with the game and now we are paying more for a not even reasonable amount. These maps looks terrible as well. But, i'm an achievement whore so i may as well.

Surprised they would charge for a forged map. 2 BTB maps as well.

I'm buying though, I always do.

  • 10.15.2010 3:04 AM PDT

Tempest would be good for invasion and maybe some 1-flag/assault variants but I hope to God they don't use it for anything else (I know they will though, lol)

Breakpoint could be alright for BTB.

Anchor 9 is one big gimmick. Sure it's nice to look at but you can tell there's no gameplay flow at all.

Definitely not worth 10 bucks. If anything, these should of came with the original game.

Bungie Fails. Charging $10 for 3 freakin maps. LOL! Good luck with that. Only the Halo tools of the world will drop that much coin for 3 mediocre maps.

Thankfully, Fable 3 comes out at the end of this month so H:R can suck it after that. Its a lagtastic multiplayer and a craptastic campaign.

I'm glad you're not making anymore halo games. Its about time you stopped butchering the series with your greedy, talentless approach to development. Hopefully, a studio with some fresh ideas and the ability to actually put together some stable AND working netcode will take over the series so we can forget everything after H:CE.


Finally somebody on this forum with a brain.

OT: will never buy these maps, firstly they look horrible, secondly they should have been shipped with the game as they so obviously were made pre-release, thirdly 800ms points for another forged map which will most likely suffer the same lag as all the others as bungie seems to think water is so necesary on every fkn map.

Hopefully 343 studios or whatever other game developer will aproach the halo universe with a clear mind and not JUST be in it for the money.

Fairly sure all these achievements are gna have to be done on the new maps and most playlists will probably require them even though each playlist will probably only use one map of the 3.

We'll be there when the fighting starts again - We will be there to win.

More BTB!! They look sweet, I might get them.

  • 10.15.2010 4:44 AM PDT

That's pretty great!

I guess I'm just going to have to work a lot harder now to get my last two achievements before these new ones roll in.

Anchor 9 looks really spiffy.

Hey bud, think about it; In Halo 3, the Mythic map packs were both 3 maps each. Heroic had 3, and Cold storage was just a single map download. Don't worry though. Knowing Bungie, they have way more maps in store for us in the future. :)

  • 10.15.2010 6:18 AM PDT

These maps look like a great add on.

  • 10.15.2010 6:23 AM PDT

should have been cheaper. It's the first DLC for Reach and Reach needed more BTB maps and unique scenery's anyway. I think it should have been half the price.
P.S that hill in the middle of the Breakpoint, will probably become a major camping location. Its going to be a horrid map.

And yet again, bungie fails to produce...I will not be downloading these...they look good, but they are huge, HALO WAS ORIGNALLY MADE 4v4!!! KEEP IT THAT WAY, BTB is terrible!

Edit: I only play BTB SOMETIMES when I'm wasted, I have no clue why it is always supported! FFS...I'm so heated about these...oh well, the people that have supported the game since CE day 1 never get pleased...

Yeah, Sidewinder and Boarding Action were clearly designed for 4v4 only... I'm so proud of you that you've been a fan since day 1 of CE, but Halo has always been designed for a variety of playstyles and a range of possible players.

  • 10.15.2010 6:44 AM PDT

Hey people I'm in 9th grade and I'm a huge Halo fan Iv'e played since I was like 6. I first played Halo 2 then a year later I played CE and I am a halo fan 4 Life.

I Agree they need trees on forge

Judging by your statement, it appears that Bungie have been working on this DLC for 'months' now?

Months being before the -blam!- game was released, lol?

This DLC was worked on during H:R dev time = We should not have to pay for it. Plus on the fact one of these maps had screenshots released before the actual game came out, lmfao.

Congratulations Bungie, I'm sure lots of idiots will suck up this -blam!-.


the game went gold 2 months before September, once it goes gold nothing can be added anymore. that's when they started making these. so Shut Up.

also, to all those complaining about price. did any of you play halo 3? cause the first map pack was foundry, standoff, and rats nest for 800 microsoft points. if you didn't expect this to be the same then you are an idiot.

anyway, thanks bungie. tempest looks insane, and i'm glad it has forge capabilities. i'll definetely make an invasion map for that.


Standoff was terrible, and it took me MONTHS to appreciate Rats Nest. I may "Buy" the maps when they are free but otherwise Bungie can keep these maps. Until I see them attempt to argue with MS, only then will I buy the maps. I dropped 85 dollars (I'm including tax and I got limited edition) for this game and was PLANNING on getting Bungie Pro, some more Xbox Live, and a new headset but now I have another 10 dollars of possibilities popping up in front of me.

I hate this -blam!-

Two new BTB maps? I can't wait.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Hey... um... Bungie Team?

Yeah, I have a little tip for you... 80% of your fans are spoiled, whiney, entitled, brats. Next time, it might be easier to wait until 2 weeks before a map pack is released before announcing them. That way, the fans I just mentioned may be less inclined to -blam!-.

Just sayin'...

It has nothing to do with people not being able to afford it. It is very unfair for bungie to ask for more money so soon after the game was released. One of the reasons halo 3 was better than cod 4 was because of the online maps, they didnt just lift them straight out of the game like in cod4. This time they have, and it was pretty dissapointing. There is only the option to but 500 or 1000 microsoft points, so i will need to buy 1000 which will cost me just less than £10. I payed £37 for the game, surely they cant expect people to give them another 25% of what they payed for the game for three maps? And although you dont need to buy them, you really do. In halo 3 when the new maps came out if you didnt buy them you couldnt play some game modes, so you were forced to buy the maps. This will no doubt happen again. These maps should of been included in the game and if they werent ready in time should be given free.

These maps look amazing! If you look closely at the pictures of Tempest, you can see a Falcon waaaaaaaaay out in the distance. Looks like it's gonna be pretty big. I can't wait :)

  • 10.15.2010 9:38 AM PDT

Wow, a lot of people did not even read the article or really look at the screenshots.

Surprised they would charge for a forged map.

800ms points for another forged map

Obviously, if you looked at the images of Tempest for more than 2 seconds, you would realize it's a totally new map. Seems like most people already had preconceived thoughts on these maps before they were even announced! And people post complaints that are false and make others believe them, like "the maps were done before Reach shipped" which is clearly false. Now, if the maps were on the disk and were simply unlocked, then you could complain. It's been months since Reach went Gold and was actually finished, they didn't finish it a week before it shipped :p

  • 10.15.2010 9:45 AM PDT

Hopefully 343 studios or whatever other game developer will aproach the halo universe with a clear mind and not JUST be in it for the money.

LOL!! What do you think 343 was made for? I'll give you a hint:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$

Oh, and Bungie is one of, if not the, greatest game developers of our time. Everyone just holds them to extremely high standards.

  • 10.15.2010 9:48 AM PDT

Garbage. You're trying to tell us these weren't done months ago? Please. Anchor 9 has potential, Tempest looks like a poor man's substitute for Relic. I would have paid for Relic, but this is a joke. Thx for nothing Bungie. PS: have you noticed nobody plays Arena? Go with what works and bring back the traditional ranking system. There's a reason you have nearly double the amount of players in Halo 3 besides the price tag of Reach and despite Reach's superior graphics and gameplay. Please get a clue and start respecting your gamers like your competitor (no, not Activision, the other one whose name/word gets flagged when trying to fileshare despite its common use in the gaming world).
