Subject: Defiant Map Pack

I'm very excited that the new map pack for Halo: Reach is taking locations from the Nylund novels. We'll soon be hunting each other in the Spartan Training grounds in 'Highlands' and fighting on the remnants of orbital station gamma in 'Condemned'.

I said i wasn't going to give MS another 800 points, but they've made me change my mind.

Anyone else looking forward to it for these reasons?

agreed. maybe 343 will hit a home run with this one and put our fears of a bungie-less halo to rest.

Highlands looks just like Halo Ce's 2nd mission.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I'm glad 343 is already appearing to be focusing more on Halo's story. Yes it is multiplayer maps, but they're from the canon. Also, the narrator in the trailer was talking about the fight against the Covenant. I really hope 343i makes the storyline their most important thing when making Halo.

This. I have gained enormous confidence for 343.

I wish the Reach focused more on Gamma Company than Noble.

Gamma took place in larger battles.

You could be Part of a small squad In Gamma Company, and do small missions and then eventually meet up for one final blowout battle.

it looks really good actually. Noble map pack was pretty good, but I think defiant is much better

  • 02.14.2011 1:34 PM PDT

It will be nice to see the Training facility the S-2s grew up in.

  • 02.14.2011 1:46 PM PDT

Wait, who said 343 is doing them? It says they're by Certain Affinity. So unless something else came up I don't know about, it doesn't look like 343 did them.

No, they are a company formed by old Bungie employees back in 2006

They've worked on World at War, Left 4 Dead, Halo 2 and an unnanounced RPG.

No where in the update does it say 343 had anything to do with the maps, only Certain Affinity.

No one even knows what Gamma company as a whole did at the moment, and they were deployed after Reach fell and haven't been mentioned since. The only known parts of Gamma company were those squads left on Onyx. Hell for all we know Gamma got blown up en route to somewhere and never got a chance to fight.

I take you're talking about the 343 watermark on the lower right corner, and how it has 343i at the end right?

I also take this to mean you've never seen a single Halo Waypoint video in your life.

This was a Waypoint video: ALL Waypoint videos have the 343 logo in the lower right corner AND at the end of the video. The 343 logo means literally nothing about who made the maps.

Bungie said Certain Affinity did the maps, not 343i

Its cool, I just get annoyed when people jump to conclusions without carefully looking at the facts.

Still, when the hell is 343 going to do something game related?
