343 industries seem to be treading on the right path - Halo Reach Map Pack

link to the awesomeness

it's just werid to hear about a Halo game not made by Bungie

We'll see when they make their own complete game, first. Making a map pack is one thing - adding to the cannon of the Halo universe is another.

they look really good

Pretty good, I hope they can be just as good with a full game.

I have to admit that was pretty impressive. This map pack might make me play Halo Reach again and also I didn't know it was developed by 343 industries.

I didn't get the Noble Map Pack but I'm thinking about getting these.

They've already addded awhole lotof canon into the Halo series.

-Halo Legends
-Halo Evolutions
-Collaborated on the Halo Graphic Novels
-Halo: Cryptum (novel)
-Halo Waypoint
-They've STUCK TO PRE-ESTABLISHED CANON while doing all this, unlike Bungie.

I'm not worried about 343. They literally have the full weight of MS billions and billions backing them up.

Certain Affinity (A group of ex-Bungie guys) made the maps. 343 had nothing to do with it.

So glad that they know what they're doing.

I don't understand what you mean by "unlike Bungie," but then again I don't really follow the Halo universe outside of its games. Well, except for the anime, I did watch that (and thought it was alright, definitely liked to ODST squad with the fem spartan. The Elite story though was so dumb, although the art was awesome).

Watching that video, I'm impressed with the maps. All three of them look true to the Halo aesthetic and really fun to play. Plus, zero-gravity section...... gah..... do want!

Im glad Halo is in good hands. They seem dedicated to keep the hype for every Halo game.

Halo 3 first Xbox game :D

Certain Affinity is making the map packs not 343 studiosDiviniuz

They still had a huge portion to do with it, no one gives them any damn credit. Joint-Development would be there help with Halo Waypoint, which again they didn't get any credit for. But the map packs were definitely leaning more on Certain Affinity than 343 studios.

343 Studios are spending their time with the Halo CE remake and more so "forsaw" the Defiant map pack creation providing the engine and utilities and some developement support.

we should wait for a full game, story matters more than looks

Good to see that halo looks like its in good hands now. Halo is one of the few franchises that always seemed true to it's roots. It's incredible that halo reach actualy brought me nostalgia, with it being new a game.

Highland looks the best of the three maps. Part of me enjoyed the first version of highland more (well the bits we've seen) but i like the final version.

You know the game is da sh*** when its map pack dlc get a vid. :P
