Subject: Noble Map Pack - 11/30/2010

Winner of the 2012 Lurker of the Year award.

I'm watching you.

Yay! New invasion map FTW!

Called 'marketing ploy.' Look into it.
No ****? Bungie is a business. Businesses compete against other businesses to make money. I think it's hilarious that members like you think you're clever for spotting a marketing strategy. If Bungie wants to sell Halo against another FPS, let them. The more money they make, the better they can serve their fans.

For everyone complaining about the value: $10 is not unreasonable for a map pack. If you're not willing to cough up $10 on three maps, how the hell can you be excited for the next Call of Duty? That franchise is probably the biggest offender when it comes to screwing fans out of their money. And that's speaking objectively. Subjectively, MW2's maps were total ass, and WaW's weren't much better. For those of you saying you're going to pick up Black Ops instead, go ahead, but your argument that it'll be more bang for your buck is hardly valid.

On topic: I think the maps look fine, but they don't have that typical Halo charm about them. I'd rather have a map with a great layout than a map with ornate wall and ceiling designs. Ah well, the maps look refreshing (especially because they aren't campaign ports or Halo 2 re-imaginings). I still think the expansion is worth the $10, so I'll be picking it up soon after it is released.

The Halo: Reach Warfront expands!

The "warfront" looks -blam!-, all of them to be exact. Three big maps, how not exciting.

This is bull -blam!-! I just bought the game, but now I'm expected to pay another $10 for three maps only a month after release?!

To quote 'the sleeper'
Not even a month? Do you know what a month is?

The interval between September 14 and November 30 is GREATER than TWO MONTHS.

UURRHRRUHRHGUGH

Trying hard or hardly trying?

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.

When enlightenment is the question. The Answer is Pain.
When Ignorance is the problem. The Answer is Blood.
When love is absent. Hatred fills the void.

Awesome, I think the first thing I'll do is hurl my body out of Anchor 9....

Are these maps going to be required to play on certain playlists? I've always hated how map packs were required for things like Swat in the past.

Why not make it so that players without the maps play with people who don't have them as well?

Is it lemon scented?


Posted by: DeanAndiWebb
is it only going to be 3 maps because that seems a little small? don't get me wrong i will buy it because i love the sound of them, but normally we get a bit more than that


I'm pretty sure we usually get 3 maps for Bungie DLC... Except in the Halo 2 days:(

  • 10.14.2010 1:13 PM PDT

well not everybody comments on the forums, only people that are really happy or really pissed
the majority of people out there probably love this new map pack and will buy it
you'll probably buy it too

  • 10.14.2010 1:14 PM PDT

well it's about time, lol

  • 10.14.2010 1:14 PM PDT

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I'm excited, there seemed to be too few maps that shipped. But between this and forge it should all be good.

Well thanks for the complement anyways, even though you removed it. :P And since I know it seems like I -blam!-ed about the maps, I'll clarify: the maps are fine, but it gets a bit boring playing a game where the campaign and multiplayer maps have so much in common. The new maps will add some much-needed variety.

And it just occurred to me that we'll be getting around 7 new user-generated maps in a couple moths too -- for absolutely nothing. If you're not a fan of Bungie's map making, you gotta be thrilled about that.

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.

Yes and if your willing to pay 10$ for 3 virtual maps... then you sir are a sad, sad man.

Pissing away 100$ is such a good idea! your so cool dude! I WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU!

DLC at last hoorah! thank u bungie!

  • 10.14.2010 1:24 PM PDT

I hope you bungie dudes can make cost 1200-1600. 800 is too low. Checks and balances folks. That's the name of the game.

Great to see that you're supporting the game so much within a month of launch.


*Cough* COD black ops comes out in november *Cough*

But yeah nice maps Urk.

I don't care about Black ops. I play Halo. Bungie can release content whenever it's strategically beneficial. It makes no difference to me.

Remake every single map from all prior Halos and sell it in disks for $25 next year and I'll be set and satisfied. This will be an excellent thirst quencher until then however!
