uhm, shishka actually getting back to work and updating matchmaking doesn't mean a whole new matchmaking component.
seriously though, they could rework the ranking system and add like 2 or 3 new weapons. wow, thats not a big freaking deal. anything more would require a humongous update, small shit, they probably already have the system to roll out additional weapons in halo3, they just never used it.
*edit*
KIBBLES the texture thing out OLD. everyone knows plasma nades are default therefore no need to worry.

I'm not exactly sure why it's being discussed but I would instantly buy any Halo 3 Map Pack that included Midship. Seriously.

I think anyone who plays Halo 3 would insta buy any map pack, seriously.

How substantial will it be though? Anything big that changes Halo 3 multiplayer that comes out with ODST will have to be available for Halo 3 right?. Could it be something like Armor Permutations or new equipment? Will Microsoft try to sell it to non-ODST buyers? Could it be something as substantial as a new mode like Custom games lobby? Is something like that even technically possible as DLC or a patch for Halo 3? My opinion is that we won't get anything really worth getting excited about. I hope I'm wrong though.

I am, of course, planning on buying ODST Day 1, but I hadn't really considered til now that MS will be again screwing with folks. Mythic Part 1 came first with Halo Wars (3 maps, $79.99) and Mythic Part 2 will only be available initially with Halo 3: ODST (the latter three maps, $59.99).Voltron64 said:

Are we all certain that ODST will retail at $60? Personally, I'm hoping that it will only cost around $40 as it is technically only an add-on.

Honestly I probably plan on getting the ODST: Collectors edition ($79.99 MSRP)

What are the chances that they do a limited edition ODST version that includes those three exclusive maps and then they will become available on the marketplace later.. alas Halo Wars.
I would say those chances are good.

Bungie has been saying since this was announced that their plan was not to have this as the same prices other full retail games are ($60), because they don't look at it as such. It'll probably end up around the $40 range, but who knows with Microsoft involved.

Popped in Halo 3 today after about a year of not playing. My skills were rusty, but I still managed to perform adequately. I would love to play with you guys, though, and not randoms, since quitting still seems to be a major problem in matchmaking. I already have some of you on my friends list, but I could always use more.
I don't have the Mythic map pack, however, so that may be a problem with joining your custom games.
It was a surprise seeing the new ranking system, something I still don't quite understand.

If that's not the case then matchmaking will be even more fucked up and the universe will collapse on itself (it's been scientifically proven that MM could not get any worse).Cocopjojo said:

Just a quick update on the status of my map.
For obvious reasons, it's no longer going to be a recreation of Terminal (well in fact, it wasn't going to be all that similar regardless especially without the runaway train). It's just now going to be an inspired level just like I made one with Lockout via Foundry.
After spending several hours (just on the offensive base which I posted a picture of before), I found that I've made several mistakes and had to start over from scratch and I'm kinda glad I did because of the improvements that are being made are working out a lot better.
I've also had an interesting alternative to the train that I think would work if I'm able to pull it off, and if I have enough items left over. How about an insanely fast rolling killball which is set on a specific respawn timer?
Portions completed:
-Offensive Base
-Side tunnel connected to the Offensive Base
Currently Working on:
-Road/Pathway for Warthog
-Area surrounding Offensive Base and the bridge to Garage

and what Frankie had to say about it:
I kinda want the Forerunner to remain a mystery. :|
I wonder if this project relates to any of the Halo projects MS has cooking???

The infamous "Halo: Blue" from Wal-Mart is Halo ODST. I'm looking at a pdf file on Halo 3 ODST and the folder it says to go to for the files contained within (nothing new) is named "Halo Atlas (BLUE)". Also it says "Palette: Halo Blue". Found on MicrosoftProSource.
Then somewhere else...

Hm not sure if they will drop like that. I've seen killballs floating in the air before.
Two Things.
Thing One.
ODST's MP content. We know the game will ship with Halo 3's full MP map set and features, and is exactly Halo 3's MP with all the maps. We also know the campaign features of saved films, four player co-op, etc. also carry over to the new campaign.
What I expect is that Bungie will not leave the bar there. With every game they have put out, they've pushed the bar higher. They're doing that with the hub based world, and apparently with deeper stats integration on b.net. But I'd be simply shocked if they left the campaign features at "just" the Halo 3 feature set (which is still the benchmark for feature sets in console games, period, IMO). It may be an expansion, and they may be reworking their mission structure, but I think it would be very un-Bungie to leave it at that.
Thing Two.
Are there regular GAF customs nights? I've polished Entrenched as much as I can, and I'd like to gather up three saved films for submission to Atlas, with a 6v6 or higher if possible. I've tweaked the map since the last game, so I can't use that one. So I'd love some help to give it a shot.
