Halo Reach; $10 DLC on the way already

Anyone who thought Reach was lacking in multiplayer maps will be relieved to hear that you can download three more in November. It'll only cost you $10 (or 800 microsoft points).

Thing is, these maps are all laid out in intricate detail for you to look at here on bungie.net, which screams to me that they could easily have been included with the retail release. It's only came out a month ago, so i have a hard time believing they put these maps together in the last three weeks.

DLC continues its streak as the jackass of the gaming industry...

Pain in the butt, but i'll be downloading them. Especially since this game is turning out to be my go-to multiplayer game (which I lent to my friend :cry: )

3 maps for $10
5 maps for $15

its slightly more of a ripoff then mw2 maps lol

thing is...doesnt reach have forge world? whats the point of these i dont even ..

of course they didn't make the maps in the last 3 weeks. they would of been made as DLC PURELY to make some more money. what does it matter. don't like it don't buy it.

Hopefully they'll be free eventually like the Halo 3 maps.locopatho

Eh,I´m not surprised at all,they know the fanbase will eat it like hotcakes,just like the MW2 fanbase.

800 MS points is 10$?

man the dollar is weak....800 MS points is 8€.

so its 8€ for 3 brand new maps? seems good to me.

Just a quick question for the Reach fans(since I don´t know about the issue myself): Doesn´t the forge allows you to make new maps?

yes. You can crete almost anything. even if you can't edit the geometry, you can still create any map from scratch in mid air or something.

no, because those 3 maps have a unique geometry to them. and forge maps are only custom games. and in forge world, all of the building blocks are forerunner, not human or covenant

[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Yup. But they don't appear on the playlists, just custom games.blue_hazy_basic

But yeah,I see your point.

not getting it since i don't play run n gun mp. bummer for me since that seems to be the only kind of online shooters left.

oh well, the bf 43 servers are still going strong.

[QUOTE="gamedude234"]

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Hmmm,ok. So,is there a way to replicate these three maps in the forge?Arach666

no probs:) though you could probably create similar maps to those three, it wouldn't be the same.

Better than $15, amirite?

Hoping it was gonna be free was foolish.

I wouldn't be surprised if these were ripped from the game or not added into the final game purposefully (duh it's MS), Halo Reach seriously needed some new maps. November would be quite soon normally, but not for Reach. God damn, these maps look so good... maybe I will get this, I have had a spare 800pts for a while now.

Good, Reach really needed some more multiplayer maps...

here are the pics:

Wasn't the game released less than a month ago? :|
Since it's their last Halo on the 360, they're pretty much squeezeing the last drop out of the fanbase. They got the critics backing their game up like ''OMG the awesomzors'' so they can pretty much get away with it. I for one hope for more DLC that costs even more so the halo fanboys will eat that up.
And will cry about it when a GOTY edition is released will all 24 DLC included for a nominal fee :P

eh. I'll probably wait until they're cheaper or free. Forge World playlist is coming also.

only map pack that can get my money first-day is one with a Rat's Nest or Guardian Remake. unless a Guardian remake pops up in the Forge World playlist. then just Rat's Nest.

Do you really like Rat's nest?

It's not that great, is it?

I wonder if this DLC is already on the disk and we're just paying to unlock it. If it is, Halo has lost my respect.

Our DLC team has been hard at work these last few months, cloistered together in the heart of the studio preparing three new multiplayer maps for your Halo: Reach multiplayer pleasure. Though they're still putting the finishing touches on what we've now dubbed the Noble Map Pack as we speak, we've been itching like crazy to show off the trio of maps for quite some time now. Today, you get your first good look. The Noble Map Pack will be ready for download on November 30th for 800 Microsoft Points.

Do you really like Rat's nest?

loved it.

I really liked Infection on it though.

I just liked how you had that track going around the entire map. and the pipes above that you could access(which made Infection really fun) and the bases in the middle. felt like it supported both types of combat very well, vehicle and CQC. Sand Trap was kind of like that, but no one goes into the structures(unless it's objective-based). so it was more lopsided for vehicles + the power weapons to combat them.

I liked just about every map in H3 though, except Isolation. Rat's Nest really stands out to me because of infection. so if it got a remake, I'd probably have to base my purchase on it's availability in the gametype.

I could ramble on this all day if I had to:P

what remake would you prefer?, if you don't mind that I ask.

something completely out of left-field...

Like Boarding Action, or something..

Not interested, I'm not paying $10 for 3 maps
