I sure hope so. i quite enjoyed the new maps and hope that Halo comes out with new ones after it's launch so we can all get something new.

well i ment more on a personal level....the map updates are a given.....or should i edit the thread?

Oh you can probably expect plenty. Bungie's gonna get all the money they can.

yes but you could get crazy with it....like weapons for money, hows that fair for people who dont want to pay or younger players with ltd funds....unless you have like an extreme game type(s) where all downloads are put in, and regular where its a level playing field.......that actualy sounds pretty cool.........HEY BUNGIE....YOU CATCH THAT???......(waves arms in air)

  • 06.15.2006 7:18 AM PDT

Hated by many, confronted by none.

I think they should drop new maps and maybe some other small things but not weapons and stuff you got to pay for because then you will have to pay even more money to fight on Live.

NO, everyone will need all the downloads and Microsoft Points to buy them. You'll end up having very specific multiplayer games. You'll feel like your missing out, and the game will be perfect as it is, I mean possibly new maps like Halo 2, but nothing major like vehicles, and weapons.

good point but you allready have the XBL and nonXBL players so why not have a unlimited sect and a regular sect all part of the same game.....you could spend the money on what is important to you,or all things, or you could just play the XBL as it is now....updated for H3 of course

The matchmaking system would have to be made redundant for each "category" of player on XBL. Those with new ingame assets like weapons or vehicles would be in one group, then those with new maps would be in another, while those without any of the downloads would be in yet another.

The most likely case would be one similar to how H2 is handled. Matchmaking will probably be largely limited to those with all extra content, while those without will be stuck doing customs. This would lead me to believe that either the additional content will be free when released, or it will not be incorportated into matchmaking until it is....which is how things went with the Map Pack, wasn't it?

That's the way that makes the most sense to me.

And I wouldn't bet on any weapons or vehicles being in the additional content. Bungie would have to work to rebalance all the weapon sets and spawn points to make sure additional weapons weren't over- or under-powered. I'm sure we'll see all the new weapons and vehicles there will be with the retail release.

Maps are the most likely thing we'll see as far as DLC goes.

ok...ok... but lets say a slug gun...just for argument....a shotty but one large bullet, semi short range, heavy damage......available for 100 xbl points, only usable in the extreme mode that i mentioned before....it goes over very well and is in ballance (argument sake) couldnt it then be released for all after some time? this would fit your formula....wich i cant argue with

Very little. If Bungie decides to pull an Oblivion and withhold content just for the purpose of milking their customers, I'll boycott the multiplayer.

Only with H3, it'd be even worse. The horse armor isn't extreamely useful, but having to pay for weapons is ridiculous. I already payed 50-60 dollars for the game before taxes, why hould I have to pay 20 dollars more just to get the full experience I should get from paying the half a C-note+?

Note that I'm talking only about things like weapons and vehicles. Maps made after the origional release, I'm fine with paying for.

point taken but, what if there were a whole bunch of DLC....and you could chose to buy it all or some or none, and then pick how much or what types of things beforehand in my extreme gameset vision.....you wouldnt be able to have all your weapons in the game, just what is allowed....i might like the AR and "mega super death beam"....you might be tough with the shotty and "internal organ re-aranger"...but niether of us is allowed to use the "brain melter"......

Well they could make the content free i mean adding a weapon or two aint going to take that long. Or let everyone have the download except only those who pay can access it.

No downloadable maps, vehicles or weapons. The only reason modders were so bad is because the new maps were downloadable, there game saves on the harddrive, therefore could be modified. The modders couldnt mod on maps that came on the disk.

I think the only thing you should be able to download is new maps. For all the people who can't afford weapons for roughly $6.25 wouldn't have as good of a playing experience.

what about what Call of Duty did with two free, and two pay maps......i dont want them to make it so that every one HAS to spend money to have all the new maps...maps should be free, but i still think theyll try to make money somehow....throw out some weapons and have an unlimited mode for all us who will buy stuff.....
