GhaleonEB said:More than anything, the playlists need BTB and Invasion maps, as the current set are spread far too thin, so I'm glad to see the 2-1 split in that direction. Another map with a huge Forge palette is something I was hoping for, but didn't expect in the first DLC pack. Nice!
I second this. Sexy beast. The huge forge palette is nice to hear.AwesomeSyrup said:Tempest looks sexy.
equil said:The maps are looking nice.
I wonder if this achievement is going to be on a vidmaster type of difficulty.
I mean its a lot of gamerscore for one achievement.

will include all new Achievements
The Legendary Map Pack featured two half-assed remakes and one decent new map. Going by that logic, if remakes don't count, that means Bungie released one map for $10.HixxSAFC said:Aren't 2 of the maps in each of those CoD packs just ported over to MW2 from MW1 though?
thetrin said:new BTB maps is always good news, but TF2 has spoiled me. Paying for this stuff seems like a complete rip off.
Achievements. Plural.

Does not compute. There aren't enough maps right now, but you'd rather Bungie sat on these for a couple more months?VGChampion said:Well at least we'll get some new maps to play so I'll pay. There just aren't enough in Reach which is a damn shame because it's my favorite Halo. So glad they aren't making forge world maps for pay. All Forge World maps should they ever make new ones should be free. I would probably pass on those if they are for pay.
Seems a little soon though. Would rather them come out sometime in January.

These look great, was hoping for a new Forge World -- possibly human-themed. But glad to see BTB is getting some love.
Neuromancer said:Bungie don't listen to this man, he's crazy. And no, there's only that one map- Glacier- not currently in the playlists.
There are 8 including Glacier, but that hasn't been in playlists so it doesn't really count yet. But I wouldn't say all 8 are fantastic. I don't care much for Waterfront or Corvette.Genesis Knight said:There's something like 8 fantastic firefight maps already and you want more of them, when matchmaking maps are as hobbled as they are? You're insane.
Agree. Firefight supports a max of four players, and has eight maps devoted to it. Multiplayer has 12 game types (plus variants), with team sizes from four to sixteen. It needs asymmetric, symmetric, BTB, Invasion, 4v4 arena, etc, and it also got eight maps (plus Forge World variants). Right now the multiplayer maps are spread very thin, especially in the BTB and Invasion space. Sketch has hinted that new Firefight maps might be coming as well, but getting new MP maps online should (and appears to be) Bungie's first priority.Genesis Knight said:There's something like 8 fantastic firefight maps already and you want more of them, when matchmaking maps are as hobbled as they are?

Bungie Forgetacular ArticleBungie.net Forgetacular Contest said:With the imminent release of the Noble Team Map Pack our job is wrapping up but yours has only just begun.
I'm hoping they just mean wrapping up work on that map pack.Imperial Hot said:Does anyone find the wording on that part a little strange? Is Bungie handing over the continued map pack development to 343i? Maybe I am reading into it too much, but it definitely caught my eye.
What? It's been like that since Halo 2, they have no need to cut the price since obviously they sell very well.Salz01 said:I personally think thats pricey for a 'map pack'. Its just three maps, and some achievements. It should be like 5 bucks. Full games that offer more, are normally 15 bucks. I'll wait till they release them all at once for half off.
Yeah, I was hoping that's what they meant but it seems like they are passing the map development torch onto the community.Neuromancer said:I'm hoping they just mean wrapping up work on that map pack.
I bet we'll see one more Bungie produced map pack, then they'll hand the reigns over to 343i. We've all known this was coming.Neuromancer said:I'm hoping they just mean wrapping up work on that map pack.

Although I'll download on 11/30, I share your worry. In Halo 3 it was a huge bummer to have these awesome new maps and barely any playlist support to play them.Kenak said:I'm not buying anything until there is a guarantee they will be used in the play lists. I don't want another repeat of Halo 3 where it's either ostracize the people who have yet to purchase the DLC or burn the people who did because it's only available in 1-2 play lists.
1200 for 5?
Matchmaking in CoD is bit different when it comes to DLC. Normally they get their own special playlist or two for the first couple days. After they're integrated into the normal playlists, if you're in a party and one person doesn't have the DLC the new maps simply won't show up. Beyond that everyone can still play together on the same playlist. Meaning there isn't separate Team Deathmatch playlist for people who don't own the DLC.Reluctant-Hero said:Although I'll download on 11/30, I share your worry.

I don't enjoy CoD's multiplayer in the slightest, so could anyone shed some light on how they implement their new maps into their matchmaking routine?
That was pretty retarded.AnimatorZombie said:I couldn't believe it when.the last fucking stage was that shitty invasion map we'd been playing since beta
Didn't read anything did you?Scythian Empire said:Ugghhh, all I want is a new Invasion map.
Neuromancer said:There are 8 including Glacier, but that hasn't been in playlists so it doesn't really count yet. But I wouldn't say all 8 are fantastic. I don't care much for Waterfront or Corvette.
Anyway you're going to have to get used to the fact that some people play and enjoy firefight more than regular matchmaking and want more maps for it.
AnimatorZombie said:Should have been free. The re-using of maps between campaign and multiplayer in Halo is awful. I couldn't believe it when.the last fucking stage was that shitty invasion map we'd been playing since beta
Preach it!DancingJesus said:What?!?
That is seriously the best Firefight map in the game. Sniperfight on that is glorious.
