Subject: Halo anniversary map pack...

So I got halo anniversary, put the code in and everything, do you play the maps through the reach disk or the the anniversary disk?

When I go to the multiplayer part on the anniversary disk it tells me to buy reach? why is it even there then?

I'm so confused.

It's not out?

I got it sent to me yesterday :S

Why don't you go to 343's site to find out? It's not like they answered this or different "scenarios" you'll be in...oh wait

"Now that the relevant playlists have been covered, we should probably touch on the multiplayer maps as well. The Anniversary Map Pack, which includes six multiplayer maps along with one Firefight map, will be available on November 15th for 1200 Microsoft Points. This means even Halo: Reach fans can take part in Anniversary!

Before we dip into each of the maps, I thought I would walk you through some of the different scenarios you may find yourself in on November 15th. Halo: Anniversary and the Anniversary Map Pack are two different pieces of content, so here are the various ways to access the maps.

- If you own Halo: Anniversary but not Halo: Reach, you will launch the Anniversary maps from the disc menu.

- If you own Halo: Anniversary and Halo: Reach, we recommend installing the maps using the Anniversary Map Pack code that comes with Anniversary. You will then be able to launch the Anniversary maps from both the Anniversary and Reach menus.

- If you purchase the Anniversary Map Pack, you will install the maps like any other piece of DLC. You will then be able to launch the Anniversary maps from the Reach menu".


Also no its official release is Nov 15th, seriously who the hell doesn't know this? Some places -blam!- up an sent out copies early.

So is this why I can't get anything to work?

Not really fair since I bought the damn game, not my fault it got sent to me early.

Little sidenote however the single player campaign sucks, the graphical overhaul is awful, barely looks better than the original and Reach looks 10 times better, the game looks like a tech demo :\

Hardly retarded asking why a game I have bought does not work online, whenever I have got a game early before it has always worked.

I'll just trade it in now anyway to get skyrim for free since I have already got the maps and have reach to play them through.

Not so retarded now huh.

wow. the game hasn't officially launched yet. the matchmaking playlist isn't up yet. if you want to forge and play customs on the maps you will have to play them on reach.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Probably would've been better with the Reach engine rather than just a HD makeover. Just sayin anyways

I'm in the UK, if you trade certain AAA titles in within a week of release you get another AAA title in return for free, they don't take the codes into consideration. Something the game company's and retailers have yet to realise... So yes, I am getting the maps for free.

Hmm, how can I put this... my retard-o-meter spiked when it scanned your original post. Then it saw the comment quoted above and drew an ASCII facepalm.

Yeah, still retarded. It doesn't work because it's not officially supported until release date (duh), and using the maps after you trade in the game is dishonest, not smart.

Furthermore, there's a reason you had to enter a code to install the maps to your hard drive. When you sell the game and the next person tries to use the code I suspect one of two things will happen:

- He won't be able to use it because it's already been used.

- He will be able to use it, but his use will invalidate your use.

Think about it. Why else would there be a code to use with a physical disk?

It's possible a copy of the game can be used by different people to install the maps, but this is Microsoft we're talking about here, and they are known for implementing measures to protect their intellectual property. I'm sure they took measures to ensure you can't install the maps on all your buddies' Xboxes for free.

  • 11.13.2011 11:24 AM PDT

ok, ure in the UK, they tend to release games at a different time than the US, they probably sent you an unfinished version.

  • 11.13.2011 11:28 AM PDT

Code's don't work that way, I have used it therefor no one else can, tough luck to whoever tries to use the codes next, anyway, they get the game cheaper and have to buy the maps anyway, that's how it works these days.

Who cares if it's dishonest, I think it's stupidity on developers front for using codes rather than having it on the disk, if it was on the disk I wouldn't get the maps free.

Halo Anniversary has the exact same launch date here in the UK as it does in the US. Most major titles do release world wide on the same day. Plus, as we are ahead of the US, I actually get to play it earlier than you guys :)

  • 11.13.2011 11:54 AM PDT

People shouldn't worry too much about people getting the game early anyway, its halo 1 you have all played it before.

And trust me after playing through a few levels it is really not worth it, it's a pity I was looking forward to the remake but it feels rushed, and the graphics are horrible for next gen standards.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

All console games have horrible graphics, what did you expect? "next gen standards" is another way of saying 720p (if you're lucky) at 30fps (if you're lucky). Lol.

Just to reiterate:

Sure. Just because I enjoy playing Halo doesn't mean I have to pretend games constrained by a six-year old piece of tech still look good.

But seriously the game looks horrible.
Then all the ingame footage must have been faked. I'll reserve judgement.

Well you are on the wrong site and forum to talk about this. You need to be on 343's sites to talk to them about your problem, or you are just trolling(not likely).

It does happen were certain companies will ship things out earlier then when they come out.

  • 11.13.2011 12:21 PM PDT

Religion breeds hate

how is it not fair, you got the game early

Honest people.

Look, I have no idea what your problem is. You got the game early and no one here cares what you think of it because you just seem to be a jerk. Are you just not getting enough attention at home?
