Subject: Anniversary Maps worth it?

"I'm a 40 in Team Spelling, but I have the most worstest time leveling up in Team Superlatives."

I'm not buying the full Halo Anniversary. I still have the Halo CE Xbox disk, and the only other feature I was interested in (the Terminals) I was able to watch in-full on Youtube on release day. This leads to my question:

Are the multiplayer maps worth the $15? They look fun and all, but are enough people even playing them given that they require an extra purchase and there are tons of other new games out?

I'm not being a cheapskate, I'm jsut looking for some cordial feedback. Thanks.

I don't understand oral at all. I will never do that it is so nasty! And doing things in woods sounds scary.

The Anniversary playlists are what Reach should have been like from the launch.
They are simply amazing.

you have to ask?

Ever wonder what's up there?

3000 current players playing Anniversary Squad and 2000 playing Anniversary Classic

The maps are awesome, but the current playlists don't use the most out of them IMO. If you download them, you get 7 maps for 1200 msp, so I think it's a pretty good deal.

It's fun and all. The achievements for them suck though.

Seriously, get 1flag on a Defiant map? Then have the other team be such garbage that they don't touch the flag once? WTF? Who is terrible at 1flag, yet would be willing to vote for it?

Also, assassinate somebody who exited Armor Lock on a defiant map? WTF? How many playlists with Armor Lock in them have enough people all with Defiant to actually get one of those maps?

Definitely worth it, unless you actually enjoy playing on maps like The Cage and Reflection. All of these maps are great except Prisoner or whatever it's called.

Get the maps, they are some of the greatest in Halo history. If default Reach at launch was like CEA is now, this game wouldn't be struggling as much.

We need more Boarding Action and Chiron. Also, I don't see why 343 didn't remake Blood Gulch too! It would have made perfect sense!!1 It was such a popular map that Blue vs Red made a machinima on it!@

Maps are worth it. Remake isn't.

I dont see why everyone is saying the original reach was bad. It was fine how it was and still is the fairest shooter out there with or without the anniversary playlist. Minus armor lock which im glad they nerfed :D

If you're talking about Anniversary Classic, get over it. The pistol is supposed to be that strong.

It's a little bit better than the CE one just because it's hitscan, but it's still a good representation. It does have a smaller magazine though, so that balances it out. Damage is the same.

Having a 3-shot-kill pistol outside the Anniversary Classic playlist and forcing Reach players to adapt to a 2001 playstyle seems a bit dumb.

You wanted classic Halo CE multiplayer. Fine. Some of us wanted to play Reach.

/rant

I'm sticking to the CEA campaign anyways. Problem should be fixed by the time I start playing the new maps more.
