I'm sick of these HUGE maps, we need some 4vs4 maps.


Indeed, the maps are way to big even for 6v6.

Well... the player count is still capped at 16 players. No new gametypes, no new weapons, no new vehicles, no new armor... it's a waste of $10, really.

Adding new weapons, vehicles and armour would require a HUGE download of at least 2 gig maybe more, and even then not all people will have downloaded it, so what then? You have matchmaking issues. This complaint was addressed back in the early months of Reach 2 years ago.

Haven't played much of the maps but I'm glad I got them for free. Probably would never pay the money to play them...I remember when you only had to pay about 4 bucks for some high quality maps back in the Halo 2 days.

Honestly I'm glad they're free (or at least I got em for free)
I didn't enjoy any of them, especially sand and rocks. :/

Dead Mans Hand-Always Loaded.

I WAS SOCK

Boardwalk was easily my most hated map of Reach.

That being said, I haven't got the new maps yet, but needs more Midship remakes imo.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

They're all decent maps. Wreckage seems to have a cool layout, but right now I just can't remember it. It's a big mess.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

What this game lacked before the map pack was a good number of small 4v4, doubles and ffa maps.

So now they add three more 6v6/BTB maps? It is a complete joke, I am not going to buy it. I am already sick of the 3 4v4 maps we have to play on at the moment.

You can get them for free, unless that issue has been fixed by now.

Even if they were still free, I wouldn't get them. I don't like playing on big maps with vehicles everywhere.

Boo-hoo? Battlefield: Bad Company 2 requires a 2.2 GB patch download just to play online at all today, and it didn't even come with new weapons, just changes and stuff. People need to demand more from their games today, seriously.

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

Their designs are really boring, and the gameplay is just meh.

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

There's really not much wrong with the maps at all. People just look for something to jump on anymore. As soon as someone makes a bold accusation with almost no objectivity to it, people latch onto it and make a mountain out of a mole hill.

People are under the assumption that paying $60 entitles them to the perfect, flawless game, which has never and will never exist. That, and paying $10 for DLC should be the best investment of their money, pretty much ever, and that's ridiculous. It's $10 for 3 maps. $3.33 for years of play time on a map.

They did things differently in 4 so content could be added more easily. So I've heard. No source.

Fair play

- They aren't appropriate for 1v1 matches;
- They aren't symmetrical.

Posted by: Bricypoo Nobody quotes me and puts me in their signatures It makes me sad ... :(
My third montage!

Harvest is the only one that look remotely interesting and only because it's symmetrical.

Wreckage looks like it was ripped straight from the campaign.

Shatter looks... meh.

  • 12.11.2012 10:21 AM PDT

I didn't even know there were new maps...

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

All of them have no control points and just have you running around the map randomly.

Just like every other map in the game. They're also all too big, even for a 6v6.

Also, Boardwalk was an awful map.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

I like them. Shatter is my favorite, wreckage is my least. Harvest is ok

I gaze upon the stars and see the majesty that is the universe.


EGO mos bulla astrum.

I'm glad they added some big maps. There's already 4 (5 counting Complex) small maps in the game and only a couple big team maps. Now we got some good ones to play on. I love these maps since they remind me of the huge Reach maps and ignore all the stupid tiny maps of Halo 3.

Plus if you want new small maps you can easily go Forge some. The Forge maps are made practically not to allow any BTB action.

Isn't extraction a new gametype?
Extraction was already in the game, just not in the playlists.
