something completely out of left-field...

Like Boarding Action, or something..

siddhu33

wouldn't know of it. I never played much Halo 2 or CE MP. :P and if I played H2 at my friends, it was Pinnacle, Lockout or Beaver Creek. can barely remember CE at this point. other than Blood Gulch.

I've probably played it. just never played the first two enough to remember them all.

even though i play reach quite a bit and really wish it had better maps and i have 1200 pts thats just been sitting for months.

not gonna reward devs for this kinda stuff. I will either wait until they go on sale or become free.

Ten bucks for three maps? That's definitely a ripoff. :?

This is good news for the hardcore Halo fans. Two months after release for $10 isn't bad for them, I guess. All I know these maps adds high replayability, but it's not for gamers like me. I'm not forced to buy them but new stuff is always good news.

Isn't this the same price as some of the Halo 3 map packs?

Anyway I'll probably get it.

**** this, the maps were clearly almost ready for release. A while ago devs would delay a game by a month if they needed to so they could release a finished product. Reach definitely could have used more maps at launch, in fact that was one of the main complaints in every review i saw. Bungie just put it out a bit early because they knew they could just sell us these three as soon as they were finished and make some easy cash. They'll also probably make most playlists DLC-required like they usually do so that in the end you pretty much have to buy them if you want to keep playing multiplayer. Ugh, not cool Bungie, not cool.

Damn, I might get these when they have a sale because my November gaming time is going to be dominated by Black Ops.

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...

Ninja-Hippo

Ninja, I expect better from you man.:P

Most people know that DLC nowadays is often developed alongside the main title, or at least in it's latter stages. Like it or not, the practice of selling extra content is here to stay. But I doubt that most devs are holding back content from the main game, they are developing content as DLC from the very beginning. That's why the stuff comes out so quickly..Well, at least some of it.

stuff like the "missing chapter" in Assassin's Creed 2 was a straight crappy move.

It's never only $10. It's $10. It's 1/2 a gig of HD space. It's the choice of paying the $10 or not having access to half the multiplayer you originally bought(if its anything like previous Halo games). It's having to continually keep up with these maps in the future. Games are becoming more like payment plans. Make an initial down payment, then be graced with incremental DLC every 2 months. It's never only $10.

Well Halo reach has been done for a while now, since late July I believe, so I guess there could have been a small team working on DLC for the game.

A game isn't magically printed up and shipped to a retailer, or your house on release day, the game is done a month before, and the inclusion of new maps is out of the question long before. So yes, work obviously began long before the actual release date, but long before they could have been included ingame? No, and that's pretty clear, and easily believed if you just use some common sense.

They should be free.

Its seriously lacking in maps, and 800 points for 3 maps is a complete rip off anyway.

I'm laughing so hard at people who say this is a good deal/not a ripoff. It's thanks to consolites like you that just bend over and take it that MS is able to get away with this kind of thing. Ridiculous.

Eggimannd
It is not up to you to decide what is or isn't a rip-off for each individual person, value is decided by the person who is spending the currency. In this case, I look at how much time I got out of every Halo 3 map pack except for the last one and it is easily worth it, even when I take into consideration that I got all of the maps a second time with ODST.

Not paying for that. Ship me a game with some decent maps, and then I'll buy your new maps. Honestly, this should really be free, everyone I talk to seems to say the maps are sub par. Bactivision?

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?

Arach666
you can make a bunch of make shift maps. It has some odd restrictions, but it's pretty damn effective overall. So yeah Forge World+the community could breath new life into the game on their own. It's a matter of Bungie adding it into the matchmaking.

if MLG is that important to somebody, yeah.

when I played Halo 3 it was the two MLG playlists and Action Sack that people couldn't play w/o DLC. and of course the playlist dedicated to the maps people bought. (Team Mythic)

every other playlist was open.

Don't you blame all the beans on "consolites" since hermits are also buying DLC. DLC aren't really "Free" to make, so stop demanding every publisher to provide free DLC. Not every company is or has to be "generosity".

All that says is that he thinks it's coming out too soon, yet nothing about that title or his post says BUNGIE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THIS. Again if you could actually comprehend basic concepts you wouldn't be throwing a hissy fit, but let's be honest it's because he took a jab at precious Halo and Bungie didn't he? :)

I would never pay $3.33/map if that's all it was. Since accessing half of the matching making playlist will probably require this however, I have very little choice but to fork over the money or drop matching making. If my willpower holds, I might try to wait it out and see if they ever become free.

Not too bad, maps look good, hopefully they ARE good because most of the maps in Reach suck ass. And for anyone hoping they'll be free, they will, don't worry, just don't expect them to be free anytime within 6 or 5 months.

If you didn't have Halo 3, ODST was great, like 4 map packs and the all of halo 3 included.

the maps that shipped with halo reach were mediocre at best compared to the previous games. the better maps are arguably the remakes they shipped. they shipped halo reach with only about 6 new maps and 3 old ones. now only a couple months after reach releases they are coming out with 3 new maps. less than a month after release they already have details about the maps and they are pretty much done. bungie is no better than the other developers with day one dlc. they already had these 3 maps made and yet they decieded not to include them into the final game.

It's will have been 2 and a half months since launch :? And here's what Bungie said: "The DLC Team was indeed working on these maps before we shipped Reach. The nature of development allows particular teams to roll off a project just as others are being thrust directly into the thick of the fight (Concept Artists aren't called upon to do a lot of testing, for example). DLC just went content complete last night at midnight. None of these maps ever had any potential to make launch."

Wont matter. The maps will still sell, and people will still be playing Reach for years, regardless of the system wars crying.

Note, I do think 10$ is steep for maps. But I'm not foolish enough to tell people how to spend their money or to tell a company to stop making said money.

[QUOTE="Funconsole"]It's will have been 2 and a half months since launch :? And here's what Bungie said: "The DLC Team was indeed working on these maps before we shipped Reach. The nature of development allows particular teams to roll off a project just as others are being thrust directly into the thick of the fight (Concept Artists aren't called upon to do a lot of testing, for example). DLC just went content complete last night at midnight. None of these maps ever had any potential to make launch." DarkLink77
Too bad no one will pay attention to this.

Well I'll have payed attention at least.
