These maps suck too! They just have pretty skyboxes. If you have looked at the walk-through, the layouts are terrible. NOBODY I KNOW is buying these maps. Not a lot of my friends bought Noble either. Reach is dying, fast. These maps and the lack of value do not help it. Also, Activision can charge more because people want to play CoD, and it has like 4-5 times the population of Reach at any time, plus people playing MW2 that also happen to play BO. Supply and demand. 800 points for a failing, unpatched game and a -blam!-ing FF map is not going to compete with a BO map pack on ANY day (they patch that game up so much, they have earned XBL superiority). Bungie does not care, they are moving on.
-
Finally! A new Firefight map! Hopefully in this one, when I jump onto a light pole, it won't be out of bounds.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] killenjoke and the really sad thing is that bungie doesnt care enough any more to listen to us, i wasted ten bucks last time becuase i wanted to forge on tempest but the map is to small and the peices are the exact same and with all the structures already built in what can you really do to make it your own, i wish i was the ceo of the sompany, so i could fire everyone who had a role in this.[/quote]Did you actually read? Bungie didn't make these maps ...
-
highlands looks beautiful!! also a new firefight map is a nice unique thing to add....there is gonna be one more pack right?forgeworld2??
-
At least its not like Black Ops where theres 4 maps and 1 zombie map for 1200 MS points, 2 of which suck and the other 2 are ok. The fact of the matter is people will still buy these maps and until Activision lowers their prices for map packs why should Bungie lower theirs?
-
Wow, that was quick! Can't wait till next month!
-
Most people, including myself, will be paying 800 Microsoft points for 2 multilayer maps. How is that fair? As others have stated they should be releasing 3 multiplayer maps and 1 FF map. Too bad almost all of us will purchase the pack anyway and nothing will change. The trailer did look pretty impressive though.
-
Epic Trailer! They should have another forge map sometime! Halo would be AWESOME if they bot players on online multiplayer! 343 Intustries should do this on the next halo game! Also, what's the music called? PLZ REPLY! [Edited on 02.14.2011 12:11 PM PST]

Yup. They're saying that with no real forge capability, no Invasion capability, no competitive maps, and a FF map instead of a mp map, this pack warrants the same value as Noble. What? I mean, the fact that a FF map is not going to get anywhere NEAR the mileage a mp map would, should be enough to lower this price. I want the first week numbers for this map pack in comparison to any other pack in Halo history. They are going to be the lowest by thousands, especially since they all but confirmed they are going to let Reach die despite falling populations and low competitive value. Sigh.

Really? Still no Headlong remake? :(
-
Notice how the music refers to the Halo trilogy track/master chief's story. Hmm. I [i]so[/i] wonder why. Whoever included that knows what Halo fans like, if you know what I mean. People liked Halo for what it was. Even crappy Halo Legends was still [i]Halo[/i]. Only 2 multiplayer? Um, wow. Maybe it'd be worth it if it had a campaign expansion. Nah, just put a false advertisement saying "Defy the Covenant". We'll just justify that phrase by adding a firefight map. God, you guys make it so easy for me to seem like all I do is complain. Maybe I'll get the maps anyways since I won't really be supporting Bungie (will I?) Oh, and nice Armor Lock derpers in the trailer. Appealing to casuals once more. "OMG big splosienz n stuf!" /rage [Edited on 02.14.2011 12:02 PM PST]

And so it becomes official...
-
These maps are so poor, and there is almost no value in relativity to Noble map pack. Another disappointment in Reach. Damn. So much for more no half a$$ed maps in Reach (poor Forge remakes on disc), because we are getting only 2, non competitive maps in this one.
-
OH MAH GOD!!
-
You can't say we didn't call it. :) Also, 1:29 of the trailer, where the screen burns for a moment, is now my desktop. [Edited on 02.14.2011 11:50 AM PST]

I've been seeing a lot of people lately saying the game needs to be fixed or patched before they buy this map pack, I was just wondering what is broken, when ever I play it I don't have a problem...
-
The music; absolutely breath-taking, as per. Certain Affinity did sterling work on Halo 2's Map Packs. I'll wonder if they'll do the same again. Unfortunately, I don't get time to play Reach any more, but it looks amazing once more. And a new Firefight map, woo!
-
and the really sad thing is that bungie doesnt care enough any more to listen to us, i wasted ten bucks last time becuase i wanted to forge on tempest but the map is to small and the peices are the exact same and with all the structures already built in what can you really do to make it your own, i wish i was the ceo of the sompany, so i could fire everyone who had a role in this.

New map pack looks good :) Unearthed looks awesome :D
-
The music in that trailer was awesome. As for the maps I already knew about them. :) Can't wait. :D
-
All I have to say is ... Eat it losers! I told you they can add Firefight maps! :p Also why should I bother buying more stuff for this game when it isn't fixed yet? :)
-
wait wath? New maps. Hell yeah! Thanks bungie
-
seriously bungie,ten bucks for three maps, again, and they look just like other reach maps, oh wait is that firefight on bonyard, hey did countdown get a face lift, and another map thats way to big and will be ruled by jet packs, im truly disapointed bungie.... give us a better forge map, some new peices,more than three maps (with some real variety), some locations that dont look like the canadian wilderness from x-men origins wolverine and if your gonna bend me over and price gouge me at least have the cuortesy for a reach around....... you gus really show effort with changes to the gametypes and matchmaking, and comunnity slayer shows your interested in what people do with your content (if only you where interested in good maps) so why drop the ball here, your not making anymore halo games, thats microsofts now, so why let the greatest game youve ever made disapoint its fans. this is truely a shame.
-
Awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on these! Here's wishing for a release date in the next Weekly Update :) Cheers, and thanks!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] krekc [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dread Arrow [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CyanideX it is absolutely pathetic that we only get THREE fricken maps.[/quote] The quality of the maps is more important to me than the quantity, almost all the map packs released for Halo 2 and Halo 3 consisted of 2 or 3 maps. [/quote] Uhm how many times does Anchor 9 come up in Slayer? Rarely. These maps are a rip off in the sense they never/rarely come up. Its a joke. Bungie needs to fix AL, jump, and speed before releasing new maps. Again, its a joke.[/quote] NAH! ur a joke the reason y it doesnt come up very often is because there is more people who dont have the map pack then people who do, if you want the new maps to come up all the time, play some DLC playlist and u will always get new maps, there is also more original disk maps and the ratio on getting a new one is even lower because of that [Edited on 02.14.2011 11:29 AM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CyanideX OMG Seriously?! And no that is not excitement. While I look forward to all the new Reach content, it is absolutely pathetic that we only get THREE fricken maps. THREE!? And one of them is firefight! It should be at LEAST four multiplayer maps (some of which are close quarters) and then a firefight map. I think this is a bit of a rip off. Of course I'm going to buy it but I just think Bungie needs to check themselves... before they wreck themselves.[/quote] QFT If only the badassery of the trailer matched the game, then I would be super excited. But Reach is still disappoint, no matter how many map packs they release.
