[QUOTE="Lance_Kalzas"][QUOTE="Free_Marxet"]Im not going to play any halo game outside the original trilogy. its all milkage. I liked the first one a lot though.twitchscb

How is it milkage?

Halo Wars... Really? An RTS based on a FPS world... They might as well have udders on the controller

So because another company makes an entry into the series in another genre.....that's milkage? You don't see the flaw in your reasoning?

I was planning to get Gamefly soon and was going to make a list of all the top rated games I might enjoy and want to play, and at the top of the list was Grand Theft Auto 4, the only game with a 10. I am astonished that out of the manyexcellent games on the 360,that this game is on top.

This isn't the only game that scored a 10 on the Xbox 360. Gears of War (the first one) also scored a 10.

im having problems getting in to a team slayer match at all, it just says i dont have the maps needed to play it, this seams weird since i thought it would let you play it straight away without having to buy anything else. does anyone know what map pack i need to get to make it work?

grumblefunk
As the post right above yours has stated, you need the Heroic map pack. It's free to download from the marketplace. It's required BECAUSE it's free.

Halo's storyline sucks from what I've seen. The book are probably the best. But then again, I don't know why anyone would want to buy those books when there are probably 23424 better sci-fi books.

mD-
It's called "To each his own" or "One person's trash is another person's treasure". That's what is so great about opinions. The fact that you say Halo's storyline sucks is 100% subjective.

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"][QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

Yeah, probably just another Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2-style port, which it looks you're pretty hyped for.

aia89

why not, its Ninja Gaiden, the game that made me buy an original Xbox. anyway, I believe it will be something like Braid, or at best Star Ocean IV. it cant be Mass Effect. if so, EA would have probably announced it by now, and it would have come from a better source.

it can't be Mass Effect for the simple fact that Microsoft owns the right of the first title and the second one will be released next year. So there's no way in the world that Mass Effect can land to Ps3.

Microsoft does not own the Mass Effect property. Bioware does. I also at first thought Microsoft did as well but then one day I was looking at forums on Bioware's website and one of the moderators stated Bioware owns it and anyone posting in their forums that says otherwise will be modded for providing inaccurate information.

Okay. I don't believe I said anything different than you did but...okay. This still doesn't mean Microsoft doesn't release free DLC because the fact is they do. I can list several things off the top of my head that I've downloaded for free. This also doesn't mean Microsoft is not out to make a profit because what company isn't??? But, like any other company, they have their share of products that are free to their existing customers and products that are not.

@GAMEWIZ21 I'm not going to quote all of that because this post would be a page long. To address your issues, Halo 3:ODST was originally considered an expansion to Halo 3 and I think in Microsoft and Bungie's mind it still is. They're including the Halo 3 multiplayer experience with it with a new mode and then adding story missions. Yes it is going to be a new story arc but they called it an expansion themselves. I'm not really saying Halo has gotten worse and I'm sorry if that's how it came off, I'm just saying that Halo is the same. Multiplayer has seen some fun tweeks and that's why I still own Halo 3 to this day, but there has been no significant innovation in the Halo series. When Call of Duty 4 came out, it was changing the way the series worked and innovating the multiplayer and it has been incredibly successfuly. I'd just like to see the Halo: Reach beta and multiplayer introduce us to something new and fun. Firefight will give us a taste of that, similar to Gears 2's Horde mode and that's a good step, but I want to see Reach bring out a new system as a whole. I would never say that Halo's multiplayer has gotten worse because the match making there is really good, quick and balanced. CNUrGames
I'm not saying you're wrong about Halo 3: ODST being called an expansion by Bungie and Microsoft because they did....at first. Recently they released a statement justifying (in their mind only I'm sure) that the scope of ODST has moved far beyond an expansion to a full retail game status. Including the Halo 3 MP, FireFight, 3 new maps plus a campaign that is supposedly now as long as Halo 3's could, if only potentially, justify it. Quite honestly we will have to wait until it comes out before making any kind of judgment calls.

[QUOTE="Lance_Kalzas"][QUOTE="MrSlippery39"]

Microsoft doesn't charge for the Map packs, its the developer who does it. The reason why they are free on PC is because the PC map pack was sponsored by some graphics card company.

Johnnylaw47

Microsoft sets the price for all DLC and Arcade games. This is why some of it is free and some if it is not. Generally speaking, if there's achievements related to it, then there's a charge for it. Of course there are several exceptions to this rule. Examples of this would be the extra stages for Army of Two. Those were free because of a Pontiac promotion. There's an Arcade space shooter (like Gradius from SNES back in the day) that is free, with achievements, because it was developed by 3 interns at a university. I know this because I read a short interview with one of the managers at Stainless Games (they recently launched Magic on XBL) and he said they thought Microsoft was going to require 1,200 MS points ($15 for the game) but instead it's being sold for 800 MS points.

Nope your still wrong. Bill Gates hasn't worked for microsoft in quite awhile but his money grubbing partners are still there. And if you want to use the "it's a business" excuse because either you don't buy the DLC or arcade games and thus dont care, or for some other reason than please explain why microsofts first DLC was a horse armor for oblivion that cost $5? Can you tell me any reason why horse armor warrants $5 of anyone's money?

No, I'm not wrong. I didn't refer to Horse Armor in particular. I said "Generally speaking...." That means I'm not referring to any particular item plus I listed a few examples in my original post that show the opposite of what you're saying. Did you latch on to the 2nd sentence in my post and ignore the rest?

bungie needs to make a new game outside of halo series halo is garbage Flamingpostman
Thank you for sharing your opinion but not everyone thinks this way. Bungie has repeatedly stated they love the Halo series hence that's probably the reason they're STILL working on Halo games. Kind of funny how that works, huh?
