I just bought the map pack, but I am writing this from my friend's house. Long story short, my parents wouldn't give me the $10 so I sold my xbox and all the accessories to my neighbor for $10 only to realize that Bungie made it impossible to play these without Xbox or Halo 3. I don't know what they were thinking when they made this decision. I am sure there are plenty of people with PS3 that would love to play Metal Gear Solid on the new maps, but once again Bungie had to go and mess things up. I was so excited to finally get the new maps that I eventually decided just to come over to my friend's house to download the maps here. When I got here and started downloading the maps, he pointed out that he already had the maps and I didn't need to download them. What an idiot. He obviously failed math. We had two players playing on the same xbox so we obviously needed two of each map. I need some smarter friends. The problem is, I don't know where to put the $10 that I just got. I tried putting it in the disc tray, but it didn't accept it. I also tried yelling "HEY HERE IS MY $10" but that didn't work either. So eventually me and my friend just took turns playing the new maps. But once I played I was severely disappointed. I was happy to learn that Blackout had both a sword and a shotgun, two of the most skilled weapons of the game, but a little bit into the game I quickly realized the downfall of the map. There is are two noob towers as I like to call them. One is completely devoted to the sniper and one is completely devoted to the BR. How can Bungie allow such a promising map be destroyed by these noob weapons. My complaint about ghost town is that it is too fun. I saw the Mongoose and I quickly had fun racing around, but I was disturbed by the other team killing me. Yes, they killed the innocent player riding the Mongoose. Bungie, I would like the Banpuppy to come with the Banhammer and Bansmack them. Thank you. Next was Avalanche. I don't really know if I like this map. For the majority of the game I was walking around and ever got stuck in a Blizzard for over 10 minutes. Well I thought it was a blizzard. Everything was white and no matter how much I shot or threw grenades, I couldn't skill anyone. Then my friend pointed out I was walking into a white wall. So I'll have to give my opinion on that one later. Thanks Bungie for listening to my comments and changing things promptly.
