Glad that Certain Affinity is back with another map pack. The new perspective will just make the overall quality of the maps better. I hope they continue making map packs and maybe we can see a free remake of a fan favorite on Bungie day.

This is the day Halo died. Bungie didn't even develop these maps, another company had to be brought on board because they don't care about Halo: Reach they've moved on. 2 MP maps and 1 firefight map???? BS Halo has officially become irrelevant, RIP


I don't see why they couldn't make it 3 MP maps and a FF maps. This is extremely disappointing.

Please release the music like you did for the first map pack. It's really good.

Really, I wish it were either all firefight or all multiplayer, rather than both.

But i like options...

Found the music! I thought it was a composition made for this trailer, but it's really from the Halo: Legends soundtrack. Halo: Legends was a piece of crap (I can have an opinion; not an anime fan), but this piece is awesome. The music of Halo was one of the first reasons I was drawn to the game, and I think the song they used totally captures the feel of Halo: Reach. Beautiful.

Lol, if you're going to announce something for your own game, at least get the word out first. Bungie Fail.

Three maps for 800 points? No thanks. I hardly ever play firefight either, so I'd only end up playing two of them.

This game is slipping down the pan very quickly. Disappointment Bungie, disappointment.

  • 02.14.2011 4:46 PM PDT

The maps look really good and the environments should be really fun. I do hope that we get some more playtesting of the maps before the release.

  • 02.14.2011 4:54 PM PDT

This will be the first map pack in the history of Halo map packs that I will not purchase.

The environments look standard, there doesn't seem to be anything original and 800 MPs is EXTREMELY steep for only TWO maps.

  • 02.14.2011 4:58 PM PDT

Happy Technology.

I want this DLC and that song so bad. In the weekly update please post a link to that epic song.

  • 02.14.2011 5:07 PM PDT

Going ac-130 on it.

i'm not sure how to feel about this

No, this is giving 343 and Certain Affinity a chance to see if they can carry on the Halo name. And this isn't the first time another company developed a map for Halo either, Certain Affinity also made two maps for Halo 2.

So....was that music track still one of Marty's? Or is he sufficiently moved on to a higher purpose by now? 0.o Either way, it's good news, imo...Because the track itself was quite effective enough. :3 As for the maps...I'm always interested whenever one is shown in orbit or in a forerunner installation, so there's that. Maybe it's part of my pro-Sangheili leanings. /:

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

I swear to god, this is what I want from a halo map pack, I only wish there was more content besides 3 maps, i would even pay 1200 MSP for one more firefight and MM map.

And to think this is made by 343, perhaps they got style.

  • 02.14.2011 5:40 PM PDT

I blame myself, not Stosh.

Will the Noble Map Pack price be lowered to 600 MS points?

  • 02.14.2011 5:50 PM PDT

Halo is the greatist game series ever made!

Here's a link to the song everyone, I tested it and it came out just fine, and isn't a virus: http://bigsong.net/song/Halo:_Legends_OST_-_Sacred05588QKvFYQ aOkw.html

Download and enjoy!!!

Looks good, probably won't be purchasing it though. Way too steep of a price for only 3 Maps, maybe 250 MS points would be a better range. The Firefight map looks awesome though, with the Rocket Hog and such.

Map Packs have contained 3 maps and have cost 800 MS Points since the Heroic Map Pack in 2007. I really don't know why people are expecting more at this point.

Looks awesome and I can't wait to buy it.

"No comment" is a comment- George Carlin

So the guys who made the average maps that were put into COD-WaW and COD-Blackops MP 1 made these maps and are gonna pocket some cash themselves? No surprise there... Well it's okay, I'll save my pocket money for Halo Nemesis =)

  • 02.14.2011 6:20 PM PDT

I am a very pestamistic person. I see the glass half empty, even when it's full. Dont expect much from me.

I knew about this since last week.

  • 02.14.2011 6:34 PM PDT

I always enjoy new maps, but too bad these will rarely see the main playlists.

Still got money for it, and I always enjoy new Halo maps, but are these coming early or late in March?

I'm curious to know if Bungie made the art assets for this map pack or if Certain Affinity made everything from scratch.

I take it the Noble Map Pack will not become free then?
If that is the case I doubt I will be buying this, which also seems to be the general consensus with those I play with.
