These are map packs. It's not a full game, it's not a big budget production. Just map packs. I mean im not doubting what 343 Can do. Lets just wait and see what they CAN do. Instead of stating how map packs can show they can handle a franchise of 5 very successful games.Defiant Map pack trailer

yeah, but again these are just maps of all things. Also these maps haven't come out. who knows they could end up being horrendous. I've been here long enough to see people get super excited and disappointed in one fell swoop.

Instead of stating how map packs can show they can handle a franchise of 5 very successful games. It's simple, they deliver a pack of critically well recieved maps, and they gain the trust of the fanbase (who may be skeptical at the moment). I actually think it's a clever way to ease them into the process. Tell me, what indication does this have of them actually making a good campaign. Absolutely zero. It show's they can make good maps. Thats all. We all forget their making maps for a bungie game. So for all we know bungie has had a heavy hand in.
And ohh Look they have
"It's worth noting that the maps were created "in partnership" with Age of Booty developer Certain Affinity, a team of Bungie vets that has made maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops,World at War, and Halo 2."

AAAAE from GS. :shock:
:P Ya know me, I kid, I kid. :P
Am I the only one unimpressed with that trailerDon't get me wrong I'll be buying it as soon as it's released but still some of the environments look too familiar. Only time will tell I guess when I actually play on these maps. Also did they really need to include a firefight map? Lame. I'll still buy it just a bit disappointed.

I thought the CE Remake was handled by Saber Interactive, an average developer?

A lot of old bungie folks are at 343 so this isn't some start up young studio these people OBVIOUSLY know what they're doing. If this map pack is better then Bungies map pack then I have all the confidence they can provide an amazing halo experience (non reach related) being skeptical wont help a bit. Ohh ya I know 343 has got the talent. But do they have the Bungie magic touch? I'm Just skeptical because their maps of all things. It's like saying ohh look at this awesome map and so and so game. Then the actual game ends up stinkin up the place.

With 343 under the tutelage of Bungie and Saber under the tutelage of 343.. how can Halo CE Remake miss ? :twisted:Again, me just kidding around a bit though I do feel Remake will be a great game with tons of Fanfare. :D
A few things
1- The standard Halo theme is so much better than the music selection in that trailer. So this Trailer>that trailer by default.
2- ugh eww a Firefight map? Give me more MP maps. The game doesn't have enough new spaces as it is, and all they give is 2? None of which I guess will work in Invasion?
3- They need to do what they used to do with Halo 2(early parts of Halo 3). When a new map pack comes out, the old ones become free
4- At the least the 2 new mp maps look better than a lot of the stupid maps Bungie thought up in between.
but Bungie made those maps
all DLC is just content removed from the game to be sold later, its been proven with many games, recently Crysis 2 leaked beta showed they were doing the same thing

The CE remake has already been dismissed over and over by Microsoft and 343i why are people still going on about it?

Are you serious? Then that's an automatic failure. So there goes the chance of having any of these maps going mainstream in the playlists. You can only play in dedicated DLC playlists for so long.

Basically this. I'm fine with map packs, and if I know my friends will get em. I'll get them since I'll play with em. That said after awhile they should go free so the process is a win/win. The company is able to make some money off their work(because lets all be fair here they are technically still doing work), and those of the community that are patient will get the maps eventually. Sadly Halo carries enough power that having em free really doesn't work in favor of MS *sigh*[QUOTE="MobilechicaneX"]
