I like the trailer and it hyped me for the Mappack. That is what you wanted it, right Urk? I really love the colorful art of Tempest. Additionally I hope that Anchor 6 doesnt have any Zero-G camp spawn.

With the map selection being what it is there's no such thing as "too early." Plus this is the exact same window as H3's first DLC soJimboJones said:Probably wait until it's on sale, bit early for DLC imo :/
Yup, t's releasing the exact same number of days after Reach as Halo 3's Heroic Map Pack (77 days).Hugbot said:With the map selection being what it is there's no such thing as "too early." Plus this is the exact same window as H3's first DLC so
Yeah, shame. =( Although, forge objects look like crap, so when I saw Tempest I knew it wasn't constructed from forge objects.Shig said:Aw, I thought when they said Tempest was a "huge forge pallete" that that meant it was made from (new) forge building blocks that could be all be altered or cleared for totally custom stuff, like Forge World. Looks like everything is permanent and you can only use the existing forge pieces to build around it what's already there. Weak.
Well, I meant like the pieces would be unique to the template, like Foundry and Sandbox. This game really needs some variety in the forging objects, Forge World's great but the samey silver slabs its restricted to are getting a bit long in the tooth.Kibbles said:Yeah, shame. =( Although, forge objects look like crap, so when I saw Tempest I knew it wasn't constructed from forge objects.
Needs more pistolKapura said:I'd say that features armour lock pretty heavily. Well played, Bungie.
yes! Singleplayer DLC with space scarabs and a playable covenant corvette.And the master chief returns!Dax01 said:You know something we don't?
Then it's been an insane price point for quite some time.NIN90 said:Insane price for "just" 3 maps in my opinion.

And yet, the Halo 3 DLC managed to do OK.NIN90 said:Insane price for "just" 3 maps in my opinion.

Thought it was too early back then too.Hugbot said:With the map selection being what it is there's no such thing as "too early." Plus this is the exact same window as H3's first DLC so
I never loved dlc 'this' much.Tashi0106 said:Awesome trailer but I can't get it up for these maps like I could for Map Packs from Halo 2 and 3. Trailer was really well done though. Legendary map pack trailer is my favorite.

Raide said:I hope the outside part of Anchor 9 has a really bit boundary. Need a big area for some awesome space battles.
All the maps look great but I hope they come with some Forge updates too. Seems to be the main thing that is being left behind. We get Playlist changes, maps tweaks, more maps but still no news on Forge.
.Tempest supports 8 16 Players and offers a variety of modes including Free for All, Team Slayer, Team Objective and Big Team Battle. Tempest also provides players with a huge Forge palette, allowing them to create new custom map variants that can be shared with the community-at-large.

While I think a "Forge Pack" update with new pieces for Forge World (specifically, with a new color pallet) would be the best thing Bungie could make to benefit Reach's multiplayer in the long-term, I'm doubtful if it will ever happen, or if it would even be possible with how the game is designed. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.Raide said:Hrmm... that does not say "New bits for Forge" Seems to suggest its just the normal bits but a new Forge area to play in.
Waiting for Urk to confirm its actual new bits for Forge, or just the normal stuff.
So you don't have the game?NIN90 said:On the PC.

As someone who plays TF2 and since release, the Halo series, I find the maps are worth their value. Even with all of the free shit in TF2, there's some stuff left to be desired. Both games' models have stuff they do well, but do remember how many gametypes and customizable options you get with those 10$, which astronomically shit on much of the free DLC games get on PC nowadays.thetrin said:I'll never get the justification for buying maps.

It's just like buying anything. If you want it, you can pay for it.thetrin said:I'll never get the justification for buying maps. Of course, if you've only played games on consoles, you'd probably find it a great deal or something equally wacky.
Agreed. Sad to see how much we've strayed from Halo 2's map distribution, but having the three maps and -$10 is better than not having the three maps and +$10 sooooo.Hugbot said:-John enjoys playing Halo
-John wants more maps for Halo
-John can either buy them or not play on them.
What part loses you? The way console DLC is set up, they're not going to be free and that isn't going to change. I agree that it sucks but the justification for buying a map pack is hardly a stretch.
They aren't going to be free. And if they are, no one can realistically give you an estimate of when except maybe Bungie exployees.pakkit said:How long does Bungie usually wait after release before making the maps free?

thetrin said:The part where maps have been free on PC for years. The fact that TF2 has had tons of content and map updates since its release, and it's all been free.

OK so how does that get John his Halo maps? I enjoy TF2 and the continued support as much as the next guy but claiming to not understand the justification for paying for a map pack when it's the only way it's available is just dense.thetrin said:The part where maps have been free on PC for years.
