Halo 3 - Heroic Map Pack Ready
Halo 3 has some new goodies available for download today. You know you’re still playing it so now is the time to decide if it’s good enough to dish out more $ on. The map pack has 3 new maps. (Standoff, Rat’s Nest and Foundry)
How much: 800 Microsoft Points

meh. period.

why couldn’t they just hand them out for free on this first one…i mean the game did rack in hundreds of millions.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
They looked pretty cool from what I saw in the Red vs Blue video, but I don’t like playing custom matches, so I’ll wait until the map pack is free in a few months.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:47 pm
I agree. $10 for 3 maps is just too much. I play a fair amount of Halo 3, but I’m waiting until they are free. I’d have probably bought them for $5, but not for $10. I’m cheap…I admit it.

Here’s my question… since I haven’t downloaded any maps at all, be gentle with your answers.
Can’t someone with the map pack just load up forge, move one thing, then save it and upload it to their share? Or does forge work similar to the ‘clips’ - you sort of already have the “shell” of the level, all forge really does is show ‘object placement’ on that level?

well i’m clueless on that NuAngel.

I’ll wait until they are free. $10 for 3 maps is a little pricy. Besides, I have too many other games that I want to finish up during the holidays and early next year.

Damn you Mother Nature! The Oklahoma City area has about 500,000 houses without power. Mine’s been out since 10pm on Sunday. Not sure when I’ll be able to dive in to these maps. Our local Electric Co says it could be 7-10 days before everyone has power.

I had them a couple minutes after 4am when they came up, and since the new playlist for them didn’t go up right away (it should be up already though), I ran around each one for about 10 minutes, and Standoff and Rat’s Nest look to be amazing. Rat’s Nest could possibly be one of my favorite maps ever, it’s a completely different style, it reminds me of one of the most popular CS maps, Inferno I think it was.

I don’t mind the price as much as knowing that it will be free in a few months. For me I’d rather wait. I know its only $10, but I can play what I have and save my $10 for something else. Spring is not that far away.

WelL went to download them on my sons xbox this morning and realized I was 400 points short so….he will have to wait till this weekend when its his Birthday to get more points.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
I’m enjoying the new maps a lot.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
I think the big question is when will Deacon have another “Halo 3″ Unscripted Nights….and will ‘he’ be having us play with the new maps?
December 11th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
^and will the unscripted 360 nights, be unscripted 360 evenings, so that i dont have to stay up till 7 in the morning to play them haha.
Well on topic, im not going to get this pack, because it’ll be free later on. and i dont play halo 3 online anyways. I Should really get myself some help with getting rid of my doa4 addiction.
December 11th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
it all depends on how many people get the maps. i’m not getting them but would have to if you guys all get them so we could have an Unscripted Nights with them.
December 11th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Eh, I already have to much other stuff to play to have myself spend 10 when they become free later… they do look nice though…
December 11th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
got them
Halo is my default game so it is a must
December 11th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
BTW my medals look funny *hint hint*
December 11th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
yeah they do look funny….as in you have too many unlocked already! lol
December 11th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
geez i dont think you can have Too many- lol I am just kiddin…kinda *goes back to corner…crouches over medals “my preciouses”*

December 11th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
give me my precious haha
December 11th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
What a difference a few months makes. There was a time when I would have been first in line to shell out my Microsoft Space Bucks for new Halo maps. I’m not sure if its my “graduation” to COD4, or all of the other games competing for my game time, but I’m just not that interested this time. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Halo, but this time around its not the only fish in the Microsoft pond ( like Halo 2 was…)
December 11th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
pass…I can easily wait a few months until they are free…and nice points there Reaper ^^^^, totally agree…
December 11th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Halo = Catnip 4 me- i really dont wanna or NEED to but i end up getting it anyways.
Oh Halo Gawdz curse thee!!! *waves fistin air*
December 11th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
Wait…is Dangerdoll previously known as Jenrummy? I ask this since Jenrummy has been unavailable since I added the profile.
December 11th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Meh, I’ll wait till they’re free. Im heavily occupied with COD4’s multiplayer still lol
December 11th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
@ Green- nope always been Dangerdoll
Well that is a lie my first tag ever was “Badazzyellabone” but we’ll let that one die- lol
December 12th, 2007 at 12:17 am
I’ll pass on these - hopefully they make it free soon.
December 12th, 2007 at 2:17 am
@Hartman- they’ll be free this spring
December 12th, 2007 at 3:27 am
When is this gonna be free? If never then
December 13th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
I’m gonna pass for now and wait until they are free. Besides, most of my MP game playing right now is dominated by COD4.
