  • wow. 1 Dude if u havent noticed the cost of living is going up thats probably one reson.2 they put time and effort in to the maps so they probably would like to be paid.3 Get used to it. Life isnt fair. And u guys compaining probably wont make them change thier minds. If u were in there position u would want as much money as possible and u can make 10 bucks in about an hour 2 if u just started working and u probably have 10 dollars now. U guys are just compianing cause u want attention

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SlycerZERO [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shanksterr Remember that time I gave you guys 50 dollars for Halo Combat Evolved, then another 50 for Halo Combat Evolved PC, 50 for Halo 2, and 70 for Halo 3. I think we deserve a little loyalty for supporting you guys constantly. $220 and you can't give us 3 maps that we already bought. Not to mention the 60 dollars for Crackdown just so I could participate in the beta. 290, over 300 if you add the tax in.....[/quote] yea, I kind agree. I bought the legendary edition. I think we need to get some compensation for buying a version that costs more. ie, people who bought legendary should get this and all other map packs for free, and the cost should go up from there for people who bought lesser versions, but not cost much a all, maybe like 2-3 dollars. The Halo 2 MP map pack cd costs $15 at my local Gamestop and that was 9 new maps. some of that money was probably going towards the creation of the CD, so now with DLC on XBL that cost can be eliminated, so there is only the cost of the new maps. now 15/9 is $1.67 so, 3 maps should cost at most $5.01 if sold on a CD, which they will not be, so overall it should cost less than that. I'll be waiting till next spring when they are free.[/quote] Not everybody got the legendary edition and its not our problem if u wasted ur money

  • yes the new maps will be fun (for some & suck for others, Its inevitable) but we could use an epic map or two. Ten dollars is a bit much for three maps. we could also use a patch ( I guess, most of the time I feel its fair but then about 10% of the time, crazzy - blaming blam - happens) and some covenant designed (or just random alien world) maps, and a few tweeks to MM (ie Team swat , Btb Object, Hardcore , 8 man Ffa , custom game search, and Forge playlist) and just because MS is split doesnt mean Gates is done with you,...... he is the anti-christ after all.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hemlock Sandwich Hey Bungie, i thought Forge was going to be more than just a editing station. Before the release of Halo 3 I saw your ViDoc for forge and saw that you guys were using it for battles, with one (oracle) on each team. I can't find 15 other players to play this with me. So i have a question, CAN FORGE BE PUT INTO A PLAYLIST AND USED FOR BATTLE? Big Team? Since i have all of the achievements, theres nothing else for me to do Online on Halo 3 but to get my rank up........PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO DAMN IT!!!!!!!! [/quote] i agree or let us put custom games up for optimatch like Rainbow six

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PlagueOfDarkness Although these maps will be great and the man cannon and shield doors on Forge will also be nice, I am fairly dissapointed. Bungie has made well structured maps, but has failed at making any EPIC maps. Throw away all the nearly symetrical maps such as Construct and Midship, they have to be the most poorly designed maps Bungie has made. Why can't they, for once, make something such as a Thunderstorming platuea that limits vision with rain pellets on your visor and a big hill in the middle with bunker and cliffs and caves, with a huge omenous sky overlooking the whole doom-ish scene. They need to expand their ideas outside of their typical MLG maps of boring symmetry. [/quote] dude ur gonna judge the new maps by a picture. wow. and i dont see a problem with the other maps i mean some could be better but they arnt terrible. You've gotta give em a break because they are under so much pressure from people like u. Is u want an amazing map then maybe u should make one. The man cannon and shield doors are gonna be awsome too.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Rob933 Does Anyone know if there will be more map packs in the future. Because the h3 maps weren't that great, and i think they need to come out with more so that there are enough great maps. But yeah thanks any bungie[/quote] Dude this is Bungie were talking about we WILL! see more maps. They will have a whole section of Bungie that soul need is to create more "kick ASS!" maps for Halo 3. (I bet they dont even sleep?)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Subjugator 22 [b][u][i]REPOST:[/b][/i][/u] I have way too many things to say and opinions to post and not enough time. I would however like to start by congratulating the DLC and MP design team over at Bungie for making some pretty awesome looking maps (Standoff in particular) I look forward to playing them, but when that time comes is an internal debate that I must resolve by myself. I would like to resolve a couple of issues that I have noticed that people aren't reading the article and understanding what these maps are about and what Bungie plans to do..... the first being that there Will be 3 new maps released that are fully playable in customs, MM, and Forge. Additionally these maps will be enabled with specialized customization options that the other maps did not have i.e. placeable mancannons and Foundry in particular will have an almost fully rearrangable set-up! This does not mean that this map will download blank!!!! They already have a deafult set-up that no-doubt will be in MM. Ok, moving on to matchmaking, people are complaining that matchmaking will be messed up because not everybody will have the maps and that BTB will be impossible to play. READ THE ARTICLE! MM will identify what players have what maps and will seperate them from each other. Yes, in the beginning we will be waiting a long time to get a game loaded because not everyone is going to have the maps, guess what DLC maps on every other game have the exact same problems. Nothing can be done to fix that, even if the maps were free people that already had the maps would just be complaining that it's taking too long to find a game in MM because the server decided that it wants to load a DLC map. Sadly, someone just keeps asking if anyone knows whether the (DLC exclusive playlist) will be found under Ranked or Social? Did you read the article? Cause I did and you know what it didn't specify, so what makes you think that anyone here has powers of telepathy and knows the answer to that question????? You can only assume that it would be social for obvious reasons, but we know what happens to you when you ASS-U-ME. So for everyone complaining about only getting 1-2 maps for matchmaking and one "Forge" only map, please stop posting and take the time to read the article again. Yes, I'll admit I do think that Xbox live and DLC are taking advantage of consumers in a booming trend referred to as "price gouging". More than half the games released for the Xbox 360 do not deserve their $59.99 tag price nor do they deserve an additional $5 - $25 increase for "exclusive", "downloadable", "special edition", etc. etc...... content; however sometimes and to some people it is worth it. I think everyone should respect everyone else's opinion on whether or not they choose to purchase the maps now or later, no more of this pointless bickering and biting at Bungie for just doing what it is they enjoy. Remember that you should be able to make yourself happy with what you create, just as much as they should. If they wanna make a couple of maps that are in their own respect "good maps" then they can. Why? Because they are the ones that took those jobs. Yes, fan and consumer based opinion is very essential to running a profitable organization! Yes, we could have used a smaller FFA, 1v1, arena style map and some more people would have been happy.... But who's to say that they are not going to?? There are still 3 maps that have been unseen that have been mentioned as DLC in the future (Moonbase Alpha, Purple Reign, and O.K. Corral) and whose to say that Frankie doesn't do another news article the 2nd week of December when the 3 new maps are available and start telling us about even more maps and content that they have created. Patience is a virtue that I will employ, I do think that 4 maps for $10 would have been reasonable to me. And that's my opinion, I'm entitled to it without having to slander somebody else's. So I will wait until spring and be content with what I have purchased until then. IMO Bungie takes pretty good care of their community, very few LARGE companies pay as much attention to their fans as much as they do. Yeah they're not perfect, and nobody is. Bottom line..... Don't buy the game if you can't afford it or don't think that it's worth the purchase, and if you can afford or you will find someway to make it happen because you feel it's worth it, then by all means enjoy =) Don't slander somebody's social status/opinion/values because they find more value in necessity over desire. BTW, I really think that a patch would be very helpful and much appreciated and obviously more maps (fan desired) wouldn't hurt either. But let's not forget about things like, new custom armor permutations, weapons/vehicles, and possibly even some sort of side quests for the Arbiter or something that could still easily be added to this game. Let's not forget that "Best Multiplayer Game of the Year" is not "Game of the Year" and that Halo 3 will be judged on more than that category... Amazing job so far guys!!!!!! Keep up the good work over there BUNGIE [b][i](Criticism is still attention and attention is love. No matter what some members of the community may say or even those that claim to have moved on to COD4, they wouldn't take the time to read the topic and check the site if they didn't still love Halo!)[/b][/i] [/quote] thank you, ur the only person so far that actually knows that ok corral is different than standoff. and that those 3 maps were mentioned in some of the latest updates but not have been shown yet
